Flint is Fabulous
Added 11/10/2009
I saw both of these movies at the theater when they came out in 1966 & 67 and I loved the phone ring and always wanted a phone to ring just like it (now I do on my cell phone).
I have both movies on DVD but I never tire of watching "Our Man Flint" or "In Like Flint" when they are on TV, just too much zany fun!!
I wish James Coburn would have made a couple more.
Buy these and you will have 2 of THE best spy spoof movies for your collection. You will not be disappointed!!

Ultimate Flint Collection
Added 9/14/2009
The movies were a bit cheesy but also fun to watch. Sometimes cheesy is exactly what I'm in the mood for. If a person likes James Bond they will like Derek Flint.

Not THAT bad, but not that good either

In Like Flint is perhaps best remembered as the film that managed to kill off the Flint 'franchise' in a single blow (if you ignore the dire 1976 Canadian TV movie, which is the best thing to do with it). While it's wildly misjudged and considerably less successful than its predecessor it isn't quite a total washout even if its attitudes have dated horribly. In the opening half hour Coburn only has one scene, while the film strains a little too hard to be wacky and loses the straight faced charm of the original. With the exception of one excellent fight in a gym the action scenes are sloppier too. Then there's the sexism to contend with (although the notion of brainwashing the women of the world via hairdryers is ingenious), not to mention the sight of Lee J. Cobb in drag... Still, Jerry Goldsmith does have fun providing nifty variations on his themes from the first film while generally adding a more Neal Hefti tone to the proceedings.
With little in the way of extras other than trailers on this single disc edition, you're best off picking up the Ultimate Flint three-disc collection instead.

So bad it ended the franchise.
Added 6/1/2008
Throughout the years I'd seen Our Man Flint on television many times and always enjoyed it, but for some reason they never (or rarely) seemed to show In Like Flint. I couldn't understand why. I also couldn't understand why there was only two Flint movies made. But, after I'd purchased the Ultimate Flint Collection and finally watched In Like Flint, I understood perfectly well. The movie is terrible. It's boring, corny, nonsensical and amateurish. I'ts idiotic plot is filled with third rate dialog and very little action. The first class camp and satire of the first movie is replaced by moronic skit comedy. The movie was -and is- so bad, that they never made another.

Flint Is Fun

What a great movie, this can be enjoyed on so many levels that it is no wonder what a classic this film is. Whether you are into comedy, the spy genre or both, In Like Flint has everything that you would want from a spy spoof. Unlike other spy spoofs, the jokes in this movie aren't one after the other which makes it feel even more like a genuine spy flick. There is tons of action and very exciting scenes, James Coburn does it again for sure. Overall, a really great movie that has the feel of the 60s but yet hasn't aged. If you are in the mood for a spy story, you can't go wrong with the Flint series
