Same basic character but Coburn is a little bit better as an actor.

I prefer the Derek Flint movies. The plots are about the same, along with productions values. But I enjoy the character Derek Flint more.

I have been bent and broken, but, I hope, into a better shape, Grimm

Coburn is cooler (Dino was starting to seem a shadowy joke of his Rat Pack self) and Flint has a more serious plot -- but the Helm film wins for "hot 1960s buxom Playboy babes." Lovey Kravzit waiting for Matt Helm in his giant "swimming pool bathtub" to wash him and...anything else? was one of the greatest pre-teen boy fantasy movie scenes of the 60s.
