Flint: Perigo Supremo

James Colburn is a super genius and super spy. He aids in a friend to help find three minutes missing while on a golf outing with the President. Something appears to be amiss. Colburn is a ladies man and ends up all over the world showing his many talents. I happened to find all of the set designs very detailed and colorful. I will be watching it again just for the costume design, furniture design and set designs. I love Colburn, this was nothing I expected from him. It is light heartedly silly and comical. I will leave all the critical reviews for someone else. I found it goofy and entertaining and it was surprising to see this side of Colburn. If I was a design student, artist or interior decorator, definitely worth the watch.

Did Flint (and the producers) know something America didn't in 1967? I'm making reference to that remark in the title of my review. Reagan was already Governor of CA at this point. :)

Anyway, the plot is unique, the parody unqualifiedly silly but fun.

All the cliches and spy references are present and accounted for. Of course there are plenty of continuity problems, bad special effects and inaccurate ones.

James Coburn was in his prime and drawing good box office. What else did he need? More fun as witnessed here.

Overall, an entertaining film with lots of eye candy as required.

If you ever wondered about how the film series like Austin Powers came to be inspired, James Coburn does a memorable performance as Flint, original man of mystery in this film. The film is a spoof and farce from the James Bond spy thrillers. The plot includes the world being overthrown and manipulated by smart beautiful seductive women on a Caribbean Island where their leader is played by Anna Lee (General Hospital's beloved Lila Quartermaine). She is fantastic in her role. The film is a comedy and a statement about women's movement. The ending is now considered to be outdated by today's standards almost camp humor. Still, James Coburn did some of his best acting work here as the hero. The film is colorful and imaginative as well.

Basically another in the endless series of Bond-knockoffs of the late 60's, the second Flynt movie (for some reason I keep missing the first one) is fun enough as a semi-parody. It's nowhere nearly as offensive/dumb as the Matt Helm stuff. Coburn makes a decent superman spy, although his lanky physique makes him look rather ungainly in the fight sequences (only Ted Danson looks more awkward). It's your basic Cold War type movie with some women who want to rule the world (and *oh the humanity* are betrayed by the military man they put their trust in, played by a fiendish Steve Inhat) tossed in.

Super-spy Flint : James Coburn is called by the organization Zowie that is an acronym for Zonal Organization World Intelligence Espionage led his old boss : Lee J Cobb to take on a new dangerous international case against powerful women who want to conquer the World. This time Flint takes on a cabal of women plotting to rule the World through subliminal brainwashing in beauty saloons or spas they own .

Flint's Back in action...in Danger .in the Virgin Islands ...when the Bad Guys ...are Girls ! The Man who makes no Mistakes !

Fun and entertaining follow-up in the wake of 007 series but with patently embarrassing plot , adding pop imagery , as well as hilarious and ironical elements. This is a sequel to Our Man Flint 1966 by Daniel Mann starred by James Coburn/Flint, James Bond-lookalike , along with Lee J Cobb , Gina Colan , Edward Mulhare, Rhys Williams . Like 007 , Flint uses a lot of gadgets and often accompanied by gorgeous Girls, in bikini-clad at a luxurious love nest . Nice acting by the always sympathetic James Coburn along with some fine secondarios , such as : Jean Hale , Lee J Cobb, Andrew Duggan , and, veteran Anna Lee.

It displays a thrilling and moving musical score by Jerry Goldsmith in his usual style . As well as colorful cinematography in Technicolor by William Daniels, Greta Garbo's regular cameraman . The motion picture was profesionally directed by Gordon Douglas . This Hollywood filmmaker was a prolific artisan whose career spans over forty years . And directing all kinds of genres : Western, Drama, WWII, Action , Comedy, SciFi , Thriller, Adventures with sucesss enough , such as : Fortunes of Captain Blood , Up Periscope , Them, The Great Missouri Raid , The Doolins of Oklahoma , Sylvia, Río Conchos , Stagecoach , Robin and the 7 Hoods , Massacre, The Detective , among others. Rating 6/10. Acceptable and passable thriller spoof movie . The pic will appeal to James Coburn fans .
