There was actually going to be a third movie made. Harlan Ellison, the fantasy and science fiction screenwriter, finished a movie script called Flintlock. I’ve never found a copy of it, but Harlan confirmed in an interview that it exists and is finished. At that time, in the late 1970’s, the plan was that James Coburn would return to play Flint. As far as I know, it never went beyond a finished script and Coburn’s informal agreement to come back. But in Hollywood, that can be pretty far towards making a movie.
My only quibble with this clip is that it doesn't include the great fake out he pulls off at the beginning of the fight sequence about 20 seconds back. He is about to be escorted to the cryobiology lab when he does a Bruce Lee style whoop and ducks out of the way of the retaliatory blow one of Gen. Carter's henchman tries to land, instead taking out the guard beside him and Flint escaping in the ensuing chaos. Brilliant!
No idea - About 15 years back or so (Wow,that long?) during the "Swing Revival" there was a band called "The Last of the International Playboys" who played this stuff and a lot of other 1960s Spy music live. I saw them at The Wave in Atlantic City in the old Trump Marina and they tore it apart, great live band. They said recordings were coming but I never found one sadly. This music has swag like nothing else, classic. Wish I could find it.
Should have let the scene play out where the general slaps Flint on the ear with his pointer, as though he were a kid in trouble at school. Always loved this whole sequence, even as a little kid. Great music composed by Jerry Goldsmith. It gives me a kick to say that I'm sort of connected to the FLINT universe, because I worked in production on STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE 9, and Mr. Goldsmith composed the award-winning theme to STAR TREK: VOYAGER.
This is a perfect spot for the Hulk!!! When they hit Hulk it does nothing to the Hulk!!!! An the Hulk proceeds to smash all them without any trouble at all!!!! The Hulk rules!!! Lol!!!!🤣🤣🤣
James Coburn here using Kenpo style fighting...the father and master teacher of Kenpo was of course Ed Parker. I got to see Ed Parker in person shortly before his death. He put on a demonstration of his skills in Pasadena, Calif.
That's cool to know. Does this mean the Flint fight coordinator was an Ed Parker student? Also, you can also see Bruce Lee deriving much of Coburn's moves -- swashbuckling, staccato, break-timing, smoothness. I think they meant after Our Man Flint.
I love this sequence! The only problem I have now is that this particular music track was left off the "In Like Flint/Our Man Flint" soundtrack. What's up with that?
Actionguy1 Actually it’s on the soundtrack, but re-scored. I personally liked the movie version of the “No Rest For The Weary” track, it has more percussion (tympani) and bass guitar!
During the part where they have Flint surrounded and they hit him in the head with a night stick, I wish the Hulk and the Thing would be teleported there by the Watcher and the Hulk would say "We thought you could use some help!!!" and the Thing would say "It's Clobbering Time!!!!" Then we would see the bad guys get the tar beaten out of them!!! Lol!!!
Which movie was it that Coburn's character is being questioned by reporters outside his arriving car and he's already dead? They open the door and he nearly falls out - seems to me revenge, he encounters a guy who hands him a note laced with a fast-acting poison absorbed through the skin and we barely see it register on his face that he's done for - please help settle a bet. Thanks.
James Coburn is magnificent as usual especially when he says : "Shall we try the diplomacy?" But the Russian part of the story is simply awful. It looked like the script writer lived in some isolated galaxy inventing fictions which had nothing to do with the real life and real Russians.
