How the hell did they shoot Austin Powers?

Three of the main characters were the same actor, and yet there are shots with all of them in the same scene. When I saw this as a young adult I didn't even notice that Mike Myers was playing three roles and was genuinely dumbfounded years later when I found out.

How did they do those scenes so seamlessly?

  • I have nothing to add, I just had no idea! I had to look it up, I almost didn't believe you 😂

    • I'm not putting anyone down, but I am genuinely amazed that this many people were unaware. If you asked me how many people who watched weren't aware, I'd have guessed like less than .01%.

      • I was a kid, and a dumb one lol I've confused actors just because they changed their hair. In the same movie. I'm just not good with faces 😂
