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. In Our Man Flint (1966), 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, the best gadget remains the watch that enables Flint to feign death. There's a great Jerry Goldsmith score, too.

There was bound to be a Flint sequel, and In Like Flint (1967) delivers the same kind of zany fun as its predecessor. Flint is recruited once again by Lee J. Cobb to be the government's top secret agent, this time to solve a mishap involving the President. Turns out, the Chief Executive has been replaced by an evil duplicate. The new plan for world domination involves feminine aggression, and Flint, with his overpowering charisma, is just the man to turn the hostile forces around. In Like Flint is still over the top, but some of the novelty has worn off, and it doesn't have quite the same edge as the original. Even Jerry Goldsmith's score is a bit more subdued. But the film still has James Coburn and that funny phone. --Bill Desowitz

Both Movies are Terrific, But The Sequel Has Jean Hale...:

The reviews that pan these two movies fail to grasp the point that they are supposed to SPOOF the serious plots and action of the Bond movies--not actually "compete with them" (as Flint himself might say). I love them both, but my preference is for the sequel--which I find has a quicker pace and better cinematography. Most of all, "In Like Flint" has Jean Hale, as gorgeous an example of 1960s feminine pulchritude as you'll find in any motion pictture. I recommend the purchase of this film duo for the... more info

F for Flint:

Created from scratch as America's James Bond, Derek Flint was a supa-dupa agent called on by the American government when faced with a world threatening situation. Versed in karate, meditation and even the ability to stop his heart beating for minutes on end, Flint was in the Matt Helm mould of spoof agent, only a tad more sophisticated and boasting a better actor.
James Coburn , who had made his name as one of the Magnificent Seven and just missed out on A Fistful of Dollars, found his usual image... more info

Excellent:

If you enjoy a James Bond you'll enjoy James Coburn. He has his own unique way of being a hero. A lot of people do not know this but he studied martial arts under Bruce Lee.
