The only reason I rented this movie was because in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, Austin Powers said this was his favorite movie. It's really funny if you don't take it seriously. I laughed a great deal anyone who liked Austin Powers would love this movie. The action is great..and his bond type gadgets were super funny.

Although I'm not sure of the original intention of the film makers, this movie now definitely views like a spoof. It's funny, it's corny. If you like spoofs and you like James Bond, watch it. If you don't like one or the other, probably pass.

Pretty silly but still a lotta fun! The "Flint" movies are the best of the 60s 007 clones, satirical but at the same time paying homage in a nice mix of humor and straight action. I saw 'em when I was a kid and years later am surprised how well they hold up! Coburn comes off MUCH better than Dean Martin in the Matt Helm series, f'rinstance, which now seems unfunny, offensive and unwatchable.

This is a fun movie with beautiful women. Entertaining and good for a few laughs. A James Bond spoof that is really kind of corny. Just light hearted fun!

This is the 2nd and last of the Flint spy spoof movies and sadly not the best. I originally saw this movie in the theater in 1967 when I was a kid. When Daniel Mann was not selected to direct, it was a foreshadowing of what was to come. The plot is very pro-femnist which does not appeal to guys which is a huge mistake, because after all, these are guy movies not chick flicks. The music is interesting, but lacking, the intro doesn't grab you, not James Bond like at all. Huge technical errors - when a US rocket launch is shown it is of a Soviet rocket and vice versa. The end result was ticket sales did not equal the original movie resulting in the studio not backing a 3rd sequel. This is a great example of a movie studio not knowing their audience. Nonetheless, I liked the movie, just not nearly as much as the original.
