Fox were so happy with Our Man Flint that got work started on a sequel before it came out - it did well, was a hit, and so the second one came. It did okay, less well, but Coburn refused to make a third. I think he should have because those two films were really the only ones he starred in that were hits.
This had great photography and that classic Jerry Goldsmith score and some pretty women. J Lee Cobb is in drag. The story isn't bad - clones and women wanting to take over the world. The sexual politics are dodgy AF with Coburn laughing at women wanting to throw over the patriarchy then leading them to fight off the men. I liked the women kicking some arse but it has the vibes of a film made by people going through a divorce.
This has more Matt Helm vibes.
