The plot is the usual hokum and Edward Mulhare isn't really eccentric enough to compete in the villainy stakes, but Coburn is plainly enjoying himself so much, and the trimmings are so stylish, that it's impossible not to enjoy.

[A] dazzling, action-jammed swashbuckling spoof.

... one of the best off-brand Bond variations, with an excellent leading man, a slightly different angle, and a climax that’s certainly in the right ball-park in terms of combatting excess with excess...

Rated: 3/5

Our Man Flint is a wheezing, appallingly ugly comic-strip imitation of the Bond comic strips, and it wastes the talents of James Coburn.

Like others films of its type, it took the tongue-in-cheek approach but remembered to include bits of actual wit amidst the silliness.

Far better than the sequel In Like Flint, although that is guilty pleasure fun as well. Yvonne Craig as a ballerina! Love the music.

I didn’t realize this before watching it, but Our Man Flint is the Austin Powers of its time. This movie is a parody of James Bond movies during the burgeoning years of 007’s career. However, the plot isn’t as ludicrous as Austin Powers, the characters aren’t as zany, and the humor, while definitely tongue-in-cheek, is fairly dry. At first, I felt like James Coburn was an odd choice for the main man, but his charisma and suave demeanor soon won me over. While Our Man Flint may not be as iconic as the Austin Powers franchise, I have to say that I enjoyed it more than some of the Austin Powers movies.

If you enjoy spoofs, this is absolutely fabulous fun. Coburn is brilliant. I have no idea how he kept a straight face. My favorite bit has to be the pleasure unit go-go scene. If you don’t enjoy this kind of silly, well don’t watch it. It is 5 stars in its category.

If you can put yourself in a mid sixties mindset and remain there for an hour and forty seven minutes you should give this a go. The movie pokes fun at itself often (and the Bond franchise in general) and James Coburn is great company, at the height of his popularity and sex appeal. The very best of the Bond mock-offs but if you like this one check out Danger:Diabolik with John Phillip Law.

Terrible, even as a James Bond spoof. Helen Funai is cute, though. So is Gila. Savvy looking woman. What's right about this film, and all films like it, is how much programming we go through to accept the bullsht we live through. Also that climate change is the slow death we face since the 70s. Anything for money, hey? Fck, humanity is so stupid.
