Summary: A piece of bubblegum film, long lasting fun.
Review: This is the ultimate 60's spy movie spoof, capturing the total madcap, surreal, death-defying, and chauvinist ways of a spy in a 60's movie. Of course, having been made in 1967, what else could you expect?James Coburn is Derek Flint, the most skilled, diverse, cultured, bon vivant spy ever. He can do anything, such as engineering, kung fu, desert hiking, and performing ballet in Russia. The style of this widescreen epic is amazing. The special effects are very well done for the time, and are even now hard to detect. Flint is every inch a chauvinist pig, so if you want to see women kicking [rear], this is not the film for you, as Flint has three women who serve his every need and are basically helpless without him. If you are a fan of the Austin Powers movies, then you may well be in familier territory here. This film has a ton of tongue in cheek humor, and is a very enjoyable watch. The DVD also features several trailers, and is very well done for a no-frills package. The transfer is gorgeous, and the compression of the video signal is top-notch. The sound is in it's original glorious mono, and we get to hear that super-catchy Flint theme over and over again in it's various incarnations. I heartily recommend this for lovers of Bond and Powers.

Summary: Beyond bad
Review: This is without question one of the worst movies I have even seen.
I know---you're saying: "Aw, where's your sense of fun? It's a comedy. You know, it's a parody of spy movies."
Wrong. "Our Man Flint" was a parody of spy movies. "In Like Flint" is a parody of itself---a mindless, talentless puffball of a movie floating along on its predecessor's slipstream.
The producers must've been so high on the first movie's success, they thought they could do no wrong. Or maybe they just flew off on vacation and left everyone to do whatever they wanted. Watching this mess, it's entirely possible.
A ludicrous, unfunny plot (women try to take over the world, then the men who were helping them decide they want to take it over instead, completely invalidating the first premise, zzzzzzzzzzzz...); positively awful dialogue; home-movie-style cinematography (not one creative shot in the whole picture); squirmingly clowny fight sequences; high-school film-class lighting; sets positively cluttered with wooden non-actors; a maddeningly lilting, cloying score that defies anything happening onscreen...
And through the whole thing, there's James Coburn strutting around giving us his "It doesn't matter how bad this movie is, I'm so cool" smirk, like a smarmy lounge singer on the Titanic.
A parody needs some semblance of intelligence, of imagination, of planning, of technical proficiency. Oh, and of humor. This has none of that.
Proclaiming a movie a parody isn't an excuse for plain bad filmmaking. This is just a bad, bad, movie. Bad.

Summary: Great Bond Spoof
Review: This was the best bond parody until Austin Powers came out, but none the less, it is a great movie. From his many luscious women in skimpy outfits to his lighter that can do over 80 different things, James Coburn as Derek Flint is one of the best ever pretend spies. This is a truly classic spy spoof and everyone needs to see it, because it is Austin Powers' favorite movie!
