Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me&amp;nbsp;(1999) proved to be a masterclass in how to market a movie. But even ahead of production, all concerned were determined to make it a much bigger film that the original.&amp;nbsp; Things weren't quite as straightforward on 2001's&amp;nbsp;American Pie 2, a film that originally Universal wasn't in a rush to make, then suddenly was very much in a rush to make. What's more, it underwent quite significant changes in post-production too... Stories of both are told in this episode.
