Still Sizzles.......2007-08-22

If you enter with tongue firmly planted in cheek, and disbelief heartily suspended, the Flint series will not disappoint. James Coburn was the master of the slow-burn, and underrated as a comic actor--which is a shame, because the series is comedic in nature, despite the over the top earnestness. highly recommended!

Great spy comedy and adventure.......2007-07-29

What's with these reviews that are simply parroting the DVD contents and Amazon's own description? Nothing like trying to stuff your review numbers with garbage in an attempt to make the top 1000, 500 or whatever. Make it a real review or shut up!

That said, if you have not seen the Flint movies, do so! Envisioned as a competitor to the James Bond franchise, the Flint movies follow the adventures of secret-agent, super-playboy, part mad-scientist Derek Flint. Played by James Coburn (one of the last people to be personally trained by Bruce Lee), the movies are part tongue-in-cheek with plenty of action. Yes, the special effects are dated, but the plots are still pretty darn good. May people consider the movies to be a simple spoof on James Bond, kinda like the Dean Martin Matt Helm movies. The Austin Power's telephone ring - taken right off the Flint movies. It's the telephone ring on the Presidential Hotline to Lloyd Cramden's. The soundtracks from both movies were recently released - by popular demand. Not bad for 30 year old movies!

In Like Flint: The last film that 20th Century Fox filmed in CinemeScope, this sets Flint against some of the world's wealthiest women, bent on world domination. How? By brainwashing them with hair-dryers at the Fabulous Face salon, located on a private island.....

Our Man Flint: This sets Flint against some of the world's brightest scientists, bent on world domination. How? By controlling the weather. The machine is located on a, well, a private island.....

OK, so the plots are similar, but come on. Flint making "bloooba, bloooba" sounds - communicating with dolphins. Moving around in space via his sonic belt buckle. Nailing a fly with his cigarette blow-gun. The gymnastic fight scene. The weightless battle in space. All priceless moments. Watch these two movies and you'll be thinking "so that's where (insert movie name here) got the idea!"

Excellent Service.......2007-05-12

There's really been only one rival to James Bond: Derek Flint. That's because of James Coburn's special brand of American cool. He's so cool, in fact, that he doesn't care to save the world. That is, until he's personally threatened. He's a true libertarian, with more gadgets and girls than Bond, but with none of his stress or responsibility. Here he's totally unflappable as he thwarts mad scientists who control the weather--and an island of pleasure drones. Lee J. Cobb costars as Flint's flustered superior, and Edward Mulhare plays a British nemesis with snob appeal. For fans of Austin Powers, incidentally, the funny-sounding phone comes from the Flint films. However, Our Man Flint's best gadget remains the watch that enables Flint to feign death. There's a great Jerry Goldsmith score, too. --Bill Desowitz

Our Man Flint......No 007.......2006-02-25

Our Man Flint is likeable. James Coburn is lacking the sophistication and suaveness that can only be the credentials of the one and only Sean Connery as James Bond. Coburn is good at what he does and he never lets anyone down. There is always plenty of action. It is not quite as intense as the car chases and death-defying stunts that James Bond not only attempts, but succeeds in making Spectre (007's bad guys) look and feel quite foolish. This is good entertainment. The language is bearable. Not a lot of advanced swear words. It is an appropriate length. Not a drawn out plot going nowhere situation. The clarity, color, and sound are amazing. I recently just purchased my first DVD/VCR and these three things really impress me. Although not as a polished as 007 it is still a very good movie. In the end the good guys win, and isn't that all we want anyway?

Coburn = Cool.......2006-02-04

For some reason I thought this film and In Like Flint were packaged together on one DVD. I like them both and don't agree that In Like Flint is as bad as some reviewers think (or maybe they simply mean it fails by comparison with Our Man Flint). Coburn is the essence of cool, and this film is a "cool" parody of James Bond films (not a "hot" one, to use the distinction made by Marshall McLuhan). It's not meant to be fall down funny like Austin Powers (which took as much from Derek Flint as from James Bond).

Think instead The Man from Uncle, Honey West and the '60s spy craze (later replaced during TV's heavy-handed obsession with "gritty" crime and cop shows). It's easy to pass over '60s films like this that are packaged in budget, no-frills versions with no extras, but don't miss the Flint films and Coburn's classic cool.

cooler than bond, he's coburn, james coburn.......2006-01-07

i saw these films when i was little and they hold up even better today than i had hoped. james coburn was such a cool guy that he didn't need a gun just a lighter. do your self a favor if you love bond watch this film and you will love it

Derek Flint - almost better than the original article........2006-01-06

Okay. Imagine a suave cross between James Bond and Spock. Now make him utterly unpatriotic and self centered. Funny, funny stuff, and much better than Austin Powers.
