CHUCK MEEHAN AND Brad Emmett are aware they got off lightly. After all, people who spend time in the vicinity of Dr. Evil himself typically find themselves eaten by sharks with frickin’ laser beams on their heads. Instead, the architects of a recent Super Bowl advert reviving the character lived to see another day. “It was surreal,” says Meehan, recalling the moment Mike Myers emerged on-set in full costume, Dr. Evil having not been seen on screen since 2002 (give or take a late-night US TV sketch or two). “My friends and I have been quoting Austin Powers for over 20 years, so to suddenly have his archnemesis right there in front of us was kinda crazy.”
