Summary: Very well done spoof of spy movies
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 1965, what else could you expect?James Coburn is Derek Flint, a spy so secret that even the group of scientists that wish to take over the world don't know of him. He is able to fake death, has a lighter with 82 functions (83 if you wish to light a cigar), knows ballet, kung fu, and fencing, and is apparantly an expert in French cuisine. In otherwords, he could only exist in a (everybody say it now!) spy movie from the 60's. 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 FOUR women who serve his every need and are basically helpless without him. What was truly fascinating was watching this movie after having been a big Austin Powers fan. I was surprised at how much the first Powers film owes to this movie, from the bathroom fight to the giant earth drill. My appreciation of the later films is not diminished one bit, however. 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: I love it!
Review: This movie was a great spoof on spy films. I'd heard of it often then recently caught it on AMC. I picked up a copy so I could see it without commercials and it was even better that way. Now if they would just release Dean Martin's "Matt Helm" movies on DVD!

Summary: This is a James Coburn film?
Review: To summarize this film well, I would just have to say that it is just one of the other thousands of James Bond spoofs that are out there. I think James Coburn must have had a bad movie agent or something, he is usually in very good roles, but this one is just strange. The plot is totally mixed up, and tries to make fun of Ian Fleming's SPECTRE orginazation, calling it GALAXY. It is funny at some points, but often not.

Summary: This blows Bond away. . .
Review: Totally campy over-the-top 60's fun movie. Bond might as well stay home. Proves bikini clad women always wins over overdone special effects.

Summary: This is the funniest movie I have ever seen!
Review: When my dad rented this, I thought that it was going to be another bad 60's comedy. But once it started up, it was so funny that I was practically crying for the entire movie. The light-hearted action and comedy are so entertaining that you'll have to watch this again and again.

Summary: The American James Bond
Review: Where James Bond needs all these gadgets to perform superhuman acts Flint usese ingenuity, and some neat gadgets. He's trying to stop Malcom Rodney a suave spy played tongue-in -cheek by the handsome Edward Mulhare. The movie is a little slow and somewhat cheesy but it is defintely the father of Austin Powers, if you like that 60's spy stuff. The confrontation between Flint and Rodney is a highlight along with the three mad scientists(in cluding the chinese scientist with the Jewish last name and the caucasin scientist with the chinese name)

Summary: Dated but still enjoyable Bond satire
Review: Who better than James Coburn to take the air out of James Bond? This satire of the Bond films (and spy genre in general) is a bit dated, but still a whole lot of fun. What' surprising is that the film lend itself to a sequel (In Like Flint). The marvelous Lee J. Cobb plays Flint's befuddled "M" and the cast is obiviously having loads of fun. Is it a classic on the level of North By Northwest? Not exactly but it's fun nevertheless.

Summary: One movie that any great fan of spy/action movies will enjoy
Review: Without a doubt, this one of the most incredible spy movies (not counting 007 movies) there is out on video. Derek Flint is put up against three of the most weathre-controlling mongols there are. Step aside Sean Connery because there's a new bad boy in town and he's playing for keeps.

Summary: dead on target
Review: Yup, it's great to see OUR MAN FLINT and IN LIKE FLINT on DVD. So when will they put out the third Flint film on DVD (or VHS!). Yes, there really was a Flint #3. It was called OUR MAN FLINT: DEAD ON TARGET. It was a 1976 TV movie. ABC ran it twice, both times during late-night. Ray Danton played Derek Flint. It was an interesting film, as I recall, but I haven't seen it in 27 years, so it's hard to remember. What happened to it? It never plays on TV anywhere. Did it vanish into thin air? I hope somebody digs it out and releases it on DVD/VHS. I also hope to see the 4 Martin-Matt Helm flicks out on DVD! Flint and Helm are better than Bond.
