A lighthearted 1966 parody of JamesBond movies, starring James Coburn as super-mega-omnicool (ex-)Z.O.W.I.E. agent Derek Flint, along with Lee J. Cobb as his his harried former boss, Lloyd Cramden. Flint is forced out of retirement to battle Galaxy, an organization led by a trio of Utopian [[MadScientist Mad Scientists]] out to take over the world via their weather-control machine. His investigation leads him across Europe to Galaxy agents Gila and Rodney, and eventually Galaxy's secret headquarters. You can guess [[CollapsingLair what happens then]].

Easily one of the best of the slew of [[TheSixties 1960s]] [[FollowTheLeader Bond imitations]]. A year later a sequel came out, ''In Like Flint'', which was a fairly lackluster rehash, and put an end to any thought of an ongoing franchise.

A major influence on the ''AustinPowers'' movies, to the point the sequel was explicitly referred to as being the title character's favorite movie.
