Review of Shag Another Day
Fifty two years ago, Ian Lancaster Fleming, typed the first Austin Powers novel Royale Shag. This erstwhile comedy thriller portrayed the hero of the book as a bumbling British Secret Service agent. This agent had appeared one day from the future via time machine.
The future (1975), a time when the Egypt/ Israeli standoff had escalated into a war that was not supported by the people of the free world. A peace movement had spread through out the free world. Austin Powers was a product of this generation, spreading his word of world peace, free love, and putting down the warmongers of the world.
Flemings prose was so popular that it spawned the 1960's cultural upheavals that occurred during the Vietnam conflict. The Beatles copied Austin's pageboy haircut. Elvis copied his freedom to dance and popularized the pelvic thrust that Ian had suggested as the popular dance of the seventies. And brought the magazine Playboy into the households of the world.
Teaming in later years with the publisher of Playboy magazine, and again later with film producer Kevin McClory, Fleming spawned one of the most profitable film series in history. These films were imitated by several different film companies, causing the spy mania of the late 1960's.
Upon Mr. Fleming's death, Austin Powers was deep frozen along with his nemesis Dr. Evil until the 1990's. John Gardner, the writer of the successful imitation novel series about 'Boise Oakes', took over the reins of the Powers literary storyline in 1977. Awakening in 1997 Powers again took off into the past after Dr. Evil, his clones, and his gang of terrorists. Assaulting the Moon base of Dr. Evil in the novel and subsequent movie 'Man of Mystery'.
Well Mr. McClory has done it again with "Shag Another Day". This time there is a difference, however. Scott Evil has taken the reins of the organization. Dr. Evil shows up in only a few minutes of screen time as Scott freezes him for the foreseeable future. Or until Mr. Myers wishes to don the suit again.
Scott Evil it turns out was behind the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States, using his Arabic lackey Camel Kahn the real leader of al Queda. Think Osama Ben Ladin portrayed by VJ Armitage. Scott had sent computer operators into the world trade centers that morning to transfer funds from several banks into the accounts of the EVIL empire.
Austin Powers is sent from the year 2020 back to 2002 to stop Scott Evil and Camel Kahn from completing their newest plot. The luscious Jennifer Garner lights up the screen in a role made especially for her with lots of high kicking and close ups. All in all a Two Star movie. Not the Best Austin Powers Movie, but certainly not the worst.

Sub-Department Summary:
In a recent vetting procedure it was noted that one of the longtime members of the OO sub-department was on friendly terms with Mr. Ian Fleming. This Officer has had many operational roles and if it were not for the fact that many of Mr. Flemings descriptions of certain events (The V2 Rocket launched toward London in Live and Let Shag Was written in 1953/ The Moonraker Rocket was launched in 1954)
Simply a case of life imitating art, or Mr. Drax reading Mr. Fleming for ideas. However we feel that this case is different. Prince Kamal Kahn tried to detonate a nuclear bomb in 1986, and this newest movie "Shag Another Day" portrays Sheik Camel Kahn as wanting to detonate a nuclear bomb. It is our position that a possible security leak has occurred in the OO sub-department, perhaps the Officer himself.
Frank Smallfoot
Media Officer
Although this officer has strained the bounds of employment on Her Majesty's Secret Intelligence Service in the past, there has never been anytime recorded or hinted about regarding this officer's oath of Official Secrets. In fact this officer and many others in the operations departments are publicly ridiculed and damaged by these spurious films and their ilk. In fact, these films are previewed by our agent, in the Standards office of this country. The film in question used the name "Camel" in a racist mode not as a substitute for a specific individual. They were allowed to use it when they changed it from "Cameldung" which was deemed too offensive.
