The original movie, Our Man Flint, was quite good. The second one, not as good, but still okay. The bonus movie of the TV pilot was terrible. No wonder it didn't sell. The actor wasn't Flint at all, and there was too much time wasted on cars on the freeway, sweeping background scenery, and the actors tended to mumble at times. At least the two James Coburn shows were worth the money.

There are many of us Flint fans out there and this box set is just about perfect for us. Now we can watch Flint doing his thing as often as we get the urge to. Sadly, "Our Man Flint" and "In Like Flint" were the only two feature films made with the dashing James Coburn portraying Uberspy Derek Flint… A man whose talent, prowess, intellect, magnetism, etc were all well above the norm (like somewhere in orbit around Pluto). These films were America’s answer to the James Bond franchise but were done with tongue in cheek humor (imagine if you will a lighter that has 82 different functions… 83 if you count lighting a cigar!). If you’ve never seen these movies, you ought to be in for a treat and for the most part, the featurettes are a nice bonus. As for the 1976 lost TV Pilot "Dead on Target" also included in this collection, it should have stayed lost… The least said about it the better.Read full review
I have loved these movies ever since I was small. Not nearly so serious as most of the Jame Bond movies. James Coburn is excellent as the supremely confident and amazingly knowledgeable Derek Flint, Master Spy. He solves the worlds problems while surrounded by some of the lovliest ladies and femme fatale ever to grace the screen. He never seems to be fazed by the action and adventures going on around him. Very clever and very funny. It makes me think of another great James Coburn movie, " The President's Analyst". If you enjoy the Flint collection, you will also like "The President's Analyst" or "Harry in your Pocket".
This DVD Boxset is excellent. It has commentaries on both movies In Like Flint and Our Man Flint. Nine mostly original featurettes from the 60s and the awful TV Pilot Our Man Flint Dead on Target from 1976 as further special features. This pilot is said to have been "lost" and unfortunately has been found again. The two movies with James Coburn are of course classic Spy spoofs, "Move Over James Bond, step aside Austin Powers". Athletic Coburn is a great superspy for the Zonal Organization of World Intelligence (Z.O.W.I.E.). The movies are presented in a 3 disc set in slim line cases, with English and Spanish subtitles. Sinle layer discs presented in Widescreen.
