Biography[]
Random Task is introduced by Dr. Evil during his board meeting with Number Two and other international criminals. He then demonstrates his strength by throwing a shoe (a parody of Oddjob's hat), decapitating a nearby stone bust. When Austin Powers and Vanessa Kensington infiltrate Dr. Evil's headquarters late in the film, Random Task sneaks up behind them and incapacitates them before transporting them to his boss to be fed to mutant seabass.
Random Task later stole a uniform which he used to disguise himself as a waiter to gain entry into a hotel room where Austin and Vanessa are staying. He tries to kill Austin by throwing his shoe, however, he only succeeded in leaving a lump on Austin's forehead. Having failed, Random Task pins Austin against a wall and begins to strangle him. Vanessa throws Austin his Swedish penis enlarger pump which he attaches to Random Task's groin and begins pumping, distracting him long enough for Vanessa to smash a champagne bottle on his head. The two of them then load Random Task onto his waiter's cart with the pump still attached and push him down the corridor.
Since Random Task does not appear in either of the film's two sequels, it can be assumed that he was arrested or killed.
