Featured reviews
Apparently how Errol Flynn lived his early days adventuring in Australia before Hollywood beckoned.
Whilst there are one or two fun set pieces here, this is a pretty feeble Indiana Jones lite adventure with 2 dimensional characters, some questionable acting talent and a script that must have taken hours to write.
Avoid.

In like flynn, is the story about erol flynn, before he became erol flynn as we old and grey remembers him from the movie theater ,sitting with our lollipops and sixpence, gawping towards the screen, at ,,the super man''.
its a decent story, with quite a bit of fun, excitement,gold, thrills , fights, shouting , drinking and money. its good entertainment from start to end, though you get a feel of low budget product. the timeline is hard to follow. there are some glitches in the backgrounds, with some very modern boat in one shot, and some of the indoor scenes, give you a feeling of a well staged studio light and settings.
but its watchable and not boring at all,, believe me, there are far too much indiana jones, combined with some crocodile dundeeish elements that really makes it recommendable.its a strong 6 from the old grumpy man.

This is a good compilation of Flynn's activities before he became an actor. If you have read his autobiography the story is more or less true. Aussie actors are good and it holds interest. His life in New Guinea and Australia is highly readable and this is a good shot at telling the story. Ain't Shakespeare, but enjoyable.
Lots of really bad stereotypes (being attacked by overly costumed natives in a jungle - please!) & noticeably contrived embellishment if not largely made up making of an Errol Flynn image. I agree w/another reviewer - it was cheesy.
Nice movie, totally underrated... Somehow reminded me of Indiana jones or some other 80's movie like that. The movie doesn't have much of the fancy special effects that younger generations probably hunger for, so maybe this isn't for teenagers, but people who like older movies will like this because it's made in a similar way like those 80's movies... The story line isn't maybe the best or most exciting, but there is enough entertainment for sure.

- TriviaThe closing titles mention the term "In like Flynn" but do not give the context. Errol Flynn was able to charm his way into and out of any situation and he had a reputation for being extremely good at it. To be in like Flynn meant to be totally assured of success.
In the 1960s, this expression evolved into an actual movie character, Derek Flint, in the spy spoof films Notre homme Flint (1966) and F comme Flint (1967).
- GoofsThe Sirocco did not sink on a reef as depicted in the film. In fact, the yacht is still in use today.
