hyped garbage

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

If you ever wondered about how the film series like Austin Powers came to be inspired, James Coburn does a memorable performance as Flint, original man of mystery in this film. The film is a spoof and farce from the James Bond spy thrillers. The plot includes the world being overthrown and manipulated by smart beautiful seductive women on a Caribbean Island where their leader is played by Anna Lee (General Hospital's beloved Lila Quartermaine). She is fantastic in her role. The film is a comedy and a statement about women's movement. The ending is now considered to be outdated by today's standards almost camp humor. Still, James Coburn did some of his best acting work here as the hero. The film is colorful and imaginative as well.

The sequel to OUR MAN FLINT is an even wackier spy spoof than its predecessor. After the first film, which closely imitated the James Bond franchise, it seems the creative minds behind Flint felt free to do their own thing. Take the parody a step further.Derek Flint is irresistible to women, skilled in martial arts, and a master of disguise. The Flint movies were said to be an inspiration for Mike Myers's "Austin Powers" movies, and the influence is more apparent in this film than the first. The sequel involves an all-female terrorist group, a kidnapped President, an outer-space science lab, hypnotic cigarettes, and Derek Flint communicating with dolphins.Lee J. Cobb is great as perplexed Z.O.W.I.E. chief Lloyd Cramden and James Coburn returns as eccentric secret agent Derek Flint. IN LIKE FLINT is a classic '60s spy comedy. Silly, but action-packed. This second Flint adventure doesn't rely as heavily on spoofing 007. By this movie, Flint has become a character all his own.In my opinion, even more fun than the first.

Basically Derek Flint is the Austin Powers of the '60's without the silly over-the-top humor. Perhaps the Austin Powers movies also got somewhat based on the Flint movies and there are obviously some small references to it.This movie is a James Bond satire on its own right. James Bond movies never really have been known for its strong feminist elements or strong female roles but in this movie it are the ladies who are trying to rule the world. The movie also features lots of other typical James Bond element such as of course lots of spy-elements, females in bikinis, a womanizing main character and silly gadgets and this all combined with an unmistakable '60's atmosphere and typical style of film-making. The '60's were perhaps not the best time period for film-making but it definitely was a colorful era, to say the least.It's a good written spy-comedy with some fine characters and actors that are portraying them. Of course it's a silly comedy story but at least it's something original and also has some action thrown into it. It all helps to make the movie very amusing to watch.Quite amazing that actors such as James Coburn and Lee J. Cobb are involved in a comedy such as this one. They are respected serious actors, especially Lee J. Cobb isn't exactly best known for his comical roles. There presence definitely uplifts the movie and makes it something special to watch.It's simply a well made movie, with lots of professionals involved, which makes this movie work out so well and make it more than just another silly '60's comedy. Director Gordon Douglas had already 30 years of experience before he made this movie.Definitely a fun recommendable comedy.7/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

The film is loaded with 20th Century Fox quirks: When the opening credits appear we see a woman reading a magazine with Fox's Fantastic Voyage on the magazine cover. Shortly after, the TV plays with the actor who played "Doc" in Fox's Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea interviewing someone. Batgirl - Yvonne Craig - soon appears and the digital clock seen in Fox's Time Tunnel later does a cameo! The film's most memorable line is "By this time tomorrow, women will be running the world". Flint is more light hearted than in the first film, which I like, but it partly depends on the personality of the viewer as to which of the two films you like best. The song playing at the end is a knockout, I am still singing it now in fact.
