Movie Sequels

[R_J_K75]

Did you miss the ancillary Flint/Matt Helm phase?

We're not talking about Bond anymore right? Flint as in McLintok or the Rifleman phase The Sergio Leone?Eastwood phase?

Here's one movie that will never get a sequel most likely is, "This Is Spinal Tap", although I don't think I'd be opposed if they all came back, Rob Reiner, Harry Shearer, Michael McKean, and Christopher Guest, and of course Dana Carvey

Bond adjacent. In the '60s there was a bit of a secret agent craze and a desire to jump on the band wagon. This resulted in two rather notable properties; Derek Flint, played by James Coburn and Matt Helm, played by Dean Martin.



(And yes, it's that Sharon Tate in the movie)

The DVD version of that felt like three movies in one - the original, then the outtakes compiled into practically a second movie, then the commentary track done entirely in-character as the band.

I own the DVD but perhaps not that version. I've never been an out take or commentary guy so I may have missed it. I'll have to look next time I run downstairs.

Got you, wasn't anything I've seen or was aware of.

They're definitely worth watching, to get an idea of the culture of the time. They'd never fly today, though that can be said of most of the old Bond stuff too. Both were more parodies of the genre, than meant to be taken seriously.

EDIT - I should also note that the same craze resulted in "Danger Man", the profits from which were used to fund "The Prisoner."

Probably more along the lines of Get Smart, Man From UNCLE?
