If he was frozen at the very end of the 60s he spent 28 years frozen and was defrosted in 1997… which was 28 years ago this year.
Want to get a hint of what Austin went through being defrosted, go check out how poorly some of those jokes aged.
Finally those capitalist pigs will pay for their crimes, eh? Eh comrades?
I still get a chuckle from the ridiculously long pee.
You’re a liar, OP! Those jokes aged well!
Punching Basils mother for looking like a man did make me think “Yeah, doubt they would do that one now.”
Imagine an unfrozen '97 James Bond played by Pierce Brosnin.
I rewatched the first one a couple years ago and thought it had aged pretty well. I don’t remember any of the jokes being mean or really punching down on anyone.
I could be forgetting something and I haven’t watched the sequels since they first came out though. My guess would be that Fat Bastard is probably the part of the franchise that aged the worst. Even when he was introduced the whole joke was “hey it’s a fat guy!”, which was one of the weaker jokes.
I also watched The Pentaverate when it came out and thought that was great. It’s a Netflix miniseries sith very similar humor where Mike Meyers plays like half the characters. It’s a parody of conspiracy theories like the Da Vinci Code, not spy movies, but still pretty good.

it was scatological, gross out and lowbrow when it came out, it stayed the same.
The Pentaverate is solid. It’s no Austin Powers or Wayne’s World, but it’s solid. It was great to see Mike Meyers back in form, even if it wasn’t his best work, just really good.
My hope is that he was just out of practice and he’s working on some great stuff behind the scenes. I know The Love Guru was a big miss for him and it really cut him down. He thought he’d created the next Austin Powers and it just fell flat. It wasn’t the worst film, but definitely a huge step down.
Long way if saying if you’re a Mike Meyers can, the Pentaverate is probably worth your time.
Depending on when he would hzve been frozen in 1997, Princess Diana may have still been alive.
Noooooooooooooooo!
