OVERALL: Draw
R4 SE is the international version, in the 2.35:1 original aspect ration and has more extras than the European and Canadian releases. R2 UK 'Anniversary Edition' includes an extra featurette.
R2 Japan has DTS audio (cut status TBC)
Avoid the R1 releases, since they are not in the original aspect ratio (slightly open matte) and offer the US version of the film. Do note that some of the missing scenes are offered separately as "Deleted scenes" but some, like the Christian Slater scenes, are missing completely.
This film exists in two versions:
(1.) The original US version (90 minutes).
(2.) The international version (95 minutes).
The following has been cut for the US version:
- Evel Knievel is not among the celebrities frozen in cryo-stasis alongside Austin.
- Right after one of Dr. Evil's security guards is crushed by a steam roller driven by Austin and Vanessa, we don't see the security guard's family being notified of his death.
- After another guard has his head eaten by ill-tempered mutated sea bass, we don't see his friends, hosting a surprise Bachelor's Party at a Hooters, being notified of his death.
- Austin's fight with Random Task is shorter: we don't see Austin reaching for a knife, a candlestick and a coral rake during the fight. And after Vanessa hits Random Task with a champagne bottle, Austin should say: "Smashing!".
- When Austin and Vanessa are taking photos of Random Task holding Mr. Bigglesworth, Austin says "I never forget a pussy... cat". The pause between "pussy" and "cat" is much shorter in this version. This scene is not only edited differently, it's two different takes.
- The scene where Basil introduces Vanessa to Austin is little bit shorter. In the European version, Basil says to Austin "Be careful" and Austin replies "Thanks!".
- The scene in which Christian Slater plays a security guard who's hypnotized by Austin Powers and ordered to go buy him some orange sherbet, as well as his very brief apperance at the end during the collapse of Dr Evil's hideout, have been removed.
