I doubt it. Number 2 doesn't really care about world conquest in the traditional sense. If Dr. Evil followed Number 2's advice he'd wind up as one of the richest men on Earth, with a thriving evil corporation. Number 2 is more about standard corporate evil, as opposed to taking the world by force.
@@Deadpool_64 To be fair, they used the Parsons joke in that one scene, and Hedy Lamarr's name was used multiples times as a running gag at her expense without getting her permission and was pretty stupid and disrespectful. Can you imagine a movie using Johnny Carson's name as a running gag throughout a movie without his permission? He would have sued them so badly they would have had to edit every scene with his name in it or he would have owned the movie. I don't think you realize that Hedy Lamarr wasn't just a great actress, she was one of the most respected and brilliant people of her time. She was an absolute genius who held patents for several inventions, one of which was rejected by the US military during WW2, but then later stolen by the Navy and used to encrypt radio communications.

So maybe take a pause the next time you want to basically call Hedy Lamarr an asshole......
They lost this amazing chance to over extend the joke's reach. Maybe that was cut from the original script, for me particularly it is imposible that they let this one pass.
Given Dr. Evil is playing with a globe, it's also an hommage to Charlie Chaplin as "The Great Dictator" also playing with a globe in the namesake 1940 movie.
I was the only person in the theater who laughed at The Alan Parsons Project prior to the joke being explained. People were looking at me like I was crazy.
@@morganchatsworthiii9178 actually, that's a good question. I seem to recall 'Alan' being mentioned in the movie, but I don't know why it would be cut from this clip if that were the case.
Honestly, if I hadn't been so young when this came out I would've laughed hysterically too, I grew up listening to all sorts of bands/musicians (still do) and so I know some pretty obscure ones by now. That's cool you sing jazz (I presume by your name lol), I play saxophone :)

Watched the movie in 2002 when I was in Junior High, didn't know what Alan Parsons was. Fast forward to now, heard a friend talk about the band and it instantly reminded me of this scene.
That's not the biggest problem with that bit of the scene. The laser was invented by the noted Canadian physicist Theodore Maiman. Unfortunately, there weren't any bands, progressive or otherwise, which used his name, so I guess the joke wouldn't have worked

It's the best fucking shit ever
Apparently there was a couple of times on set where crew legit thought Lowe was Wagner. After assuring that Lowe was not Wagner, they would giggle

I bet his crying wasn't scripted. That was just Lowe giggling.
