Summary: Just plain dumb
Comment: It was compared to a Bond movie. No way. Poor acting, poor plots. Waste of time and money.

Comment: Sit back and watch the number of customers who find this review unhelpful climb like the national debt.

Sorry, but the two pictures in this series simply aren't very good. This is boomer nostalgia dressed up as though it had some kind of cultural or entertainment merit, both of which it lacks. Coburn is okay, but the silly (and similar) plots of these features are hokey and dated. They're not very funny or exiting. Indeed, there are action scenes that are so weak that, even though it's clear Coburn is performing the stunt work, they're so indifferently filmed you can't really enjoy it. It was nonsense like this that helped secure the Bond franchise's dominance. (That and the fact that the airbrained, sex kittens in Flint's harem make the women in the Bond pictures look like the faculty of M.I.T.) These pictures make an episode of I Dream Of Jeannie look edgy by comparison.

The pilot for a Flint TV show included here is unwatchable.

All that said, the DVD set is nicely restored and the commentary is engaging, if at times infuriating in the guys' hyping of the pictures.

Summary: Flint Delivers
Comment: Ultimate Flint Collection (Our Man Flint / In Like Flint)
I've been waiting for the Ultimate Flint Collection for some time now. Both these offerings are a gem. James Coburn is super slick, super cool, and is the best send up of 007 ever put on film. As a matter of fact a spokesman for the Bond films once said when asked about Bond's competition, "James Bond is a parody. How can you parody a parody?" Derek Flint does just that, and to coin a phrase; Nobody did it better!
Growing up, Flint gave me two things that I will always be grateful for, one, a love & appreciation for Bouillabaisse and a philosophy regarding women. When asked what attributed to his success with women he said, "Simple, I don't compete with them!"
Being a parody the films are absurd in a fun sort of way. They have a great pace that lends well to the globe trotting. The fight scenes are awesome because some may not know this, Coburn was a Martial Arts pupil of Bruce Lee. Of the two films I've always felt the first one was the better but lets face it, two Flints are better than one.
If you're a fan of the 'spy genre' and you've never seen these films, you owe it to yourself to check them out, and if you remember them fondly, your collection is incomplete without them. Thank you so much Amazon for making these DVD's available.
