- The producer apologizes, clarifies he likes two and three more than one rather than way better, and says he was three in 1997, saw the sequels first, found the original slower, and still loves it. — Craig Horlbeck
- A host partly defends him: like The Godfather Part II, Austin Powers 2 is better, ranking them 2-1-3.
- The ranking is 1-2-3 because the first is pure invention and the leanest at 89 minutes. — Sean Fennessey
- The second has higher highs but the first hangs together better; that the sequel is even comparable is rare for comedy, leading to Anchorman 2.
