Music Video
"Beautiful Stranger" featured a retro music video that was directed by Brett Ratner and shot on May 1, 1999 at Universal Studios in Universal City, California.
In the lighthearted music video Austin Powers (played by actor Mike Myers) is seen driving down the road as he gets the assignment to catch a spy (Madonna), "a master of disguise," who is "seducing top agents." As the video continues Austin Powers finds Madonna at a club singing and dancing on stage in front of a crowd of people. As he watches her perform he finds himself mesmerized by her feminine charms and begins to fantasize about spending time with her. The video ends with Austin imagining that he and Madonna are driving down the street together. The music video, like the song, was extremely successful, winning an MTV Video Music Award for Best Video from a Film. It is available on Madonna's The Video Collection 93:99, and Celebration: The Video Collection, as well as on the DVD release of Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.
