• The entire film was shot in Southern California.
• Filming in the movie saved Heather Graham from a role as a porn star. The offer to audition came at a time when Graham, who hadn't filmed anything noteworthy for almost a year and a half, was ready to play the lead role in a film about lesbian love. After receiving a fee from Jay Roach for filming, the actress first bought a copy of a porn film she was considering taking a role in.
• Becky Dyroen-Lancer, captain of the US synchronized swimming team who won gold medals at the 1996 Olympic Games, served as the choreographer in the synchronized swimming scene at the beginning of the film.
• Felicity's weapon is a nickel-plated Smith & Wesson Model 19 with a mother-of-pearl inlaid grip.
• When Mike Myers and Heather Graham's characters are driving in a car, Austin notices that the British countryside is nothing like the landscape in California. The film itself was shot in California, and this scene was the result of improvisation; it wasn't written in the script, which is confirmed by the fact that Felicity says, “What?” when Austin asks her a question.
• One of the early trailers for the film contains a reference to another project. A voiceover says the following: “If you decide to see only one movie this summer, see ‘Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace,’ and if you decide to see two movies, you need to see ‘Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.’”
• When Dr. Evil tosses the mascot into the air, the scene of the two Austin Powerses running was dubbed in slow motion, and Felicity, voiced by Will Ferrell, or rather, shouts: “Look out!”—right before the Powerses collide.
• When Dr. Evil tosses the mascot into the air, in the scene of the two Austin Powers running, the voiceover was done in slow motion, and Felicia speaks in the voice of Will Ferrell, or rather, screams: “Look out!” – right before the Powers collide.
