    One of the best Bond satires.
  • September 11, 2008
    Fun, very 60's 007 spoof. James Coburn is always entertaining.

    VERY much a product of its time but taken on those terms an enjoyable spoof of Bond films. Dig those crazy outfits and eye-popping hairstyles!

    How many of you enjoyed the Austin Powers movie series? This movie is the original Austin Powers type of character. Our Man Flint is movie that was made in 1966 and was made as a parody to the recently popular James Bond series of movies. The movie chronicles the Ultra cool super...( read more) agent Derek Flint (play by James Coburn) as he takes on a trio of mad utopian scientists that are controlling the world?s weather. This movie is often described by watchers and cheesy or just plain goofy, but really it?s just a whole lot of fun. It is of course very tongue and cheek and very campy, but this is by design not because it was just a bad movie. The strong point of this movie is the performance that James Coburn put in. Many who know this actor would find it hard to believe he would be able to play the suave, ultra chic, ultra-competent sex magnet that the character Derek Flint is supposed to be, however he pulls it off very nicely. James Coburn is very different than Austin Powers or any of the Bonds in his characterization. He is very polite in his rebelliousness, and instead of being condescending to his superiors he is always polite and says sir. Rather than being the suave rebel he is more that annoying person you know that absolutely knows everything about everything and is the best at everything he does and on top of that is also the most polite person you have ever met. He has a boyish smile and disarming manner that makes him both charming and despicable at the same time. This works exceedingly well for the role of Derek Flint, because it distinguishes him from the Bond role very well. I won?t go into a lot of detail because this is not an incredibly thought provoking movie. What it is though is a very fun movie that if you choose to enjoy it and not take to seriously will provide a good two hours of entertainment.

    Interesting, amusing 1960's spy movie spoof. A pre-james bond secret agent battles the world enemy amongst the free love, flower power, and pre-women's lib era. Entertaining movie.

    I love Our Man Flint

    One of my childhood favourites. And like so many of the movies one loved as a kid, it isn't the masterpiece I once thought it was ... however, it still holds up for what it is, which is a quite cynical spoof on the "super man" hero character.

    Derek Flint is actually quite a self...( read more)ish, arrogant man. He refuses to help save the world until his former boss literally comes and begs him. And even then, once he tracks down the "villains" and goes about dismantling their fortress, he's far more concerned with saving his harem of girls than the mission.

    And who are the villains in this film? A trio of brilliant scientists who have actually discovered a way to end world hunger, to turn wastelands into fertile gardens, to control the weather so that people no longer live in fear of typhoons and droughts. And what do they want in return? World peace! That's all. They demand that the nations of the world do away with their nuclear weapons, demobilize their armies, all so that the world may be finally be Utopia.

    So Flint -- our hero -- is sent to kill and destroy these scientists!

    When I was a kid I didn't pick up on this, but as an adult this is what makes me love this movie. It's deliciously subversive, and, a helluva lotta fun!

    James Coburn's best movie
  • January 5, 2009
    Crazy, zany, goofy, satirical fun. James Coburn is perfect. It grows a little tiresome after a while, but it never stops being fun (especially when a seemingly heavy boulder bounces right off a woman's head at the end!).
