	OUR MAN FLINT
		(Cramden: "Flint, the world's in trouble!" Flint: "It usually is but it manages to extricate itself without my help.") A foiled assassination attempt soon has him on the case, however.
		Flint even gets his own theme music courtesy of composer Jerry Goldsmith's swanky score, which repeats this theme in just about every conceivable form throughout the picture.
		Unlike Bond, the dutiful civil servant who risks life and limb for Her Majesty's government, Flint is a mercenary character who only accepts the mission because the villains try to kill him as a precautionary measure.

	THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- OUR MAN FLINT
		OUR MAN FLINT ($15) is the perfect spy movie spoof, tweaking one’s expectations of the genre in such a gentle way that the comedy doesn’t overtly draw attention to itself.
		OUR MAN FLINT stars James Coburn as Derek Flint, a renaissance man of a sort, with an expertise in an astounding array of subject areas, including science, medicine and hand-to-hand combat.
		Still, Cramden is forced to offer Flint to the mission and even has difficulty in getting him to accept, that is, until an attempt is made on Flint’s life and his four live in girlfriends are taken hostage.

	DVD Savant Review: Our Man Flint
		Our Man Flint is no classic to be compared with The Mark of Zorro or Goldfinger, but it has a purity of pulp expression that says more about America in 1965 than any other fantasy of the year.
		Our Man Flint is able to have its sexism and shun it too, by showing that Galaxy considers women to be just 'pleasure units' with zaftig figures and sexual appetites apparently enhanced through drugs, perhaps the femme equivalent of the little red pre-viagra pills that come in the Exotica cold cream jars.
		Our Man Flint is a comedy spoof that seems to have benefitted from the freedom of the haste with which it was made.

	DVD Verdict Review - Our Man Flint (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Of course, before Flint can rescue the world (and the girls), he has to dine on bouillabaisse in Marseilles, scope out a cosmetics factory in Rome, and manhandle with his adversary Gila in the manner of supercool superspies everywhere…at least, everywhere in the innocent age of tie-dye, psychedelia, and free love.
		Our Man Flint was concocted—no surprise here—as an American answer to the James Bond screen phenomenon of the 1960s.
		Flint's foe, a Galaxy agent named Hans Gruber (apparently no relation to the Alan Rickman character in Die Hard—this Gruber is identified by Flint as an alumnus of the Hitler Youth Movement, who escaped during the Nuremberg trials) falls into a pay toilet stall, the door slamming shut behind him.

	Our Man Flint / In Like Flint (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Flint comes face to face (and lip to lip) with sexy mistress of seduction and Galaxy assassin, Gila (Gila Golan), who spends the bulk of the film trying unsuccessfully to kill Flint.
		Their first move is to replace the President (Andrew Duggan in a rather funny dual role) with an impostor who is one of FF’s minions, along with a couple of generals and a significant part of the military.
		When the plot is discovered, Flint infiltrates Fabulous Face just in time to see FF’s male contingent oust the women and take over: the men’s plan from the beginning having been to let the women get the ball rolling, then steal their thunder.

	Our Man Flint (1965)
		Flint eventually confronts GALAXY, an organization run by three scientists who believe they can turn the world into a better place and are now planning to activate dormant volcanoes unless the world destroys all military weapons and lets them rule.
		There are the parodies of the gadgets - like Flint's multi-purpose cigarette lighter: "This has 82 uses - 83 if you want to light a cigarette," or the stethoscope built inside his shirt in which the buttons become the earpieces.
		The few moments that the film does touch the scale of the Bond films is during its large, spectacular destruction climax and with the wonderful sets of the Utopian island base.

	TechnoFILE Reviews "Our Man Flint" and "In Like Flint" on DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Flint (James Coburn), is so cool and knows so much that he's chosen by computer as the ideal person to take over the case when the world's weather is threatened by an unknown gang of apparent terrorists a la SPECTRE.
		His Flint is not only a Renaissance man, he's apparently all knowing and all seeing - which comes in handy as the "bad guys" (the leaders of whom aren't really that bad) try to foil his attempts to foil their attempts.
		Flint is once again recruited by Lee J. Cobb to be ZOWIE's top agent, this time around to solve a space-based that also involves the President of the United States (Andrew Duggan).

	Our Man Flint - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Derek Flint is a parody of the James Bond franchise, which had gained momentum in the 1960s with Sean Connery representing the British super-agent on the silver screen.
		Flint is motivated to take them on, not by the pleas of his former boss Lloyd Cramden (Cobb), but by Galaxy's preëmptive assassination attempt, and later the kidnapping of Flint's four live-in "playmates": Leslie (Grant), Anna (Valdis), Gina (Serra), and Sakito (Funai), who are all taken to Galaxy's island headquarters and turned into Pleasure Units.
		Flint covertly revives and sneaks into the Galaxy complex, but his infiltration attempt is thwarted and he is taken before Galaxy's trio of leaders.

	Comedy Central: Movies - Our Man Flint: Dead on Target - Plot Summary
		Our Man Flint had scored in 1966 as a high-gloss spy movie spoof starring James Coburn as Derek Flint, maverick operative of the Zonal Organization for World Intelligence and Espionage (or Z.O.W.I.E.).
		Danton's Flint is just another well-tailored international gumshoe, assigned in the pilot film to rescue an oil company executive who has been kidnapped by a "liberation" movement in a mythical mideastern sheikdom.
		Our Man Flint: Dead on Target had so little to do with its source that the film was originally telecast under the pared-down title Dead on Target, with no hint of Flint until one tuned in the program.

		Flint was not to be played by McQueen, Garner, Newman, Redford - any of the charismatic subjects you'd associate with such a role, but by James Coburn, star of The Magnificent Seven and The Great Escape.
		The main problem with Flint as a character is that he is almost too good at everything he does.
		Presented in anamorphic widescreen 2.35:1, the transfer for Our Man Flint is generally very good indeed, with sharp colour tones and vivid images.

	Our Man Flint Movie Review at Hollywood Video (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Instead of 007's martini-fueled machismo and glib ruthlessness, Flint's style of espionage blended Zen mysticism, high-tech knick-knacks straight out of Star Trek, an intellect that is half Sherlock Holmes and half Timothy Leary, and a martial arts style with more "HI-YAs!" than a Bruce Lee film festival.
		In Our Man Flint, his first adventure, Flint is hired by the Zonal Organization for World Intelligence and Espionage (or Z.O.W.I.E.) to battle Galaxy, a group of mad scientists bent on world domination through weather control.
		It's up to Flint and his variety of absurd gadgets — including a microscope pen and a lighter with 83 functions (including a grappling hook and sonic blaster) — to stop their nefarious plans.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: Our Man Flint
		However, Our Man Flint and its sequel, In Like Flint, are exaggerated burlesques of their own time and the pop superspy tropes that flourished then.
		By their nature, '60s spy movies bared a phallocentric revolt against the era's "sexual revolution." Our Man Flint is giddy and harmless while still being sexist in ways that no one could get away with today.
		Flint's sybaritic lifestyle includes a Manhattan penthouse staffed by a quartet of pliant babes who, it's clear, exist to provide him with anything he desires.

		Played by James Coburn in two movies, Our Man Flint (made in 1965) and In Like Flint (made in 1967), Derek Flint can probably lay claim to being the real inspiration for Mike Myers and Austin Powers, but please don't hold that against him.
		Derek Flint is not an employee of any government agency - he appears to be independently wealthy (it's never explored, but he has his own plane).
		Flint is offered a Walther PPK (Bond's weapon), and a briefcase filled with weapons (remember From Russia With Love?) - he turns them down as "crude" - he produces his cigar lighter with 83 functions.

		The world's leaders are assembled to deal with the crisis, and the answer is almost unanimous -- Derek Flint (James Coburn) is the man, and a drab gray IBM Hollerith collator backs them up.

		I regret that Flint felt he had to detonate Galaxy Island; I would have gladly gone to work for this organization.
