Three of the main characters were the same actor, and yet there are shots with all of them in the same scene. When I saw this as a young adult I didn't even notice that Mike Myers was playing three roles and was genuinely dumbfounded years later when I found out.

How did they do those scenes so seamlessly?

Digital magic.

My dad and uncles made home videos on a 8mm camera doing this trick when they were teenagers, so it must be pretty easy even without a computer.

One thing I know is if the background doesn't change, you can basically film one character's part in the scene, then re-expose the film to do the next character's and so on.

It's basically the same as old Karel Zeman films, he uses it for highly stylized look but here it is used for invisible VFX.

It is surprising that these effects didn't change much, now they are aided by computers.
