Critics are Whack to hate on this movie friends

I replied to a person a minute ago that talked about how this film killed the series. I am repeating what I just said because I love this movie.

If I was asked about my favorites there would be Young Frankenstein and Airplane and Kentucky Fried Movie and Strange Brew and all sorts of very silly movies. I say this only to let you know that I love good comedy and original comedy.


Our Man Flint and the sequel In Like Flint were very special to me as an intelligent child. I took myself to all the Planet of the Apes movies, 2001, Jeremiah Johnson.... the Jungle Book.

Flint was our James Bond and frankly way cooler. Here is what I said. Thanks.


You know this was a film for children really and families. When Ebert gets down on it being sexy but not really sexy... That's what this film was.

I was a child at the time these two movies came out and I will tell you... Derek Flynt was WAYYY badder than James friggin Bond to me.

He had three or four women on the leash... really? I was 6 and 7 and I could totally see the advantage in that.

He was independent and too good to be CIA or MI6. He was an expert at everything.

As far as he was no Robert Redford or Paul Newman did anyone see him in The Magnificent Seven? When he says "Simple, I don't compete with them" and sweeps the gal off her feet in answer to the query "How do you do it Mr. Flynt"..... that is a classic and I used that philosophy all of my life.

It sounds like the people that critique the movie for being underdeveloped and campy do not get the flavor.

The music gets you. The telephone ring gets you. His understanding of the human body and controlling himself, living off the land for weeks (he could make some money on tv now) and ballet and literally everything made anyone with any common sense realize that he was superman and it was a comedy. A comedy spy spoof for kids and families and Americans who had no James Bond equivalent.

I can never get the music out of my head. I love this movie and Our Man Flint. Make a movie for that kind of money today.
