Trivia

• The hat is a reference to Mustafa, one of Dr. Evil's henchmen in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. In the film, Austin says to Mustafa "I don't recall your name, but your fez is familiar." [1]. In addition, Mustafa charges at Austin Powers with a knife, making its being a Spy hat more logical. The artwork used for the pack's Polycount entry image was a recreation of a still of Mustafa in the same pose, and the creator had admitted to watching Austin Powers a week prior to designing the pack.
  • This is furthered by the entry's description mentioning a "line of three-question-format". In the film, Mustafa was unable to withhold answers after being asked the same question three times.
• This is one of five hats to add an accessory in addition to the hat itself, the others being:
  • The Hound Dog, also giving the Heavy a pair of sunglasses.
  • The Pugilist's Protector, giving the Heavy a mouth-guard.
  • The Attendant, which gives the Pyro a bow tie.
  • The Lumbricus Lid, giving the Soldier a cosmetic set of Holy Hand Grenades.
