Just look at how high Coburn can kick, and try to imagine Roger Moore doing the same thing… 23. Coburn gives Flint an easy charm, and he’s highly effective in his combat scenes. Coaxed out of retirement because a superior agent isn’t available (“0008”), Flint’s a quintessentially ’60s spy – unflappable, flirty, and handy with a karate chop. It has a crazed criminal organisation, mad scientists with a dangerous device (in this instance, a weather-altering machine) and, of course, a suave secret agent – James Coburn’s Derek Flint. Long before Top Secret!and Austin Powers, there was Our Man Flint, a send-up of the whole swinging ’60s craze for spy movies. The film’s lightweight stuff, but Chan’s gleeful take on the genre is infectious – a scene where he’s frantically trying to get his high-tech trousers on while simultaneously fighting an army of bad guys is a particular highlight. The underlying joke is that charismatic spies like Bond get their miraculous powers of combat and seduction not from years of training and the kind of lingering self-confidence you get from going to expensive schools, but from wearing special tuxedos. Our Spy School event will have your team take on a series of challenges, from air rifle shooting to hand to hand combat, you will be truly '00' status worthy by the end of the event!įor the 007 binge watchers, we run a James Bond Themed Treasure Hunt which, guided by our state of the art game software run off iPad's.

Here at The Teambuilding Company we have devised a couple of events to suit the needs of all you lovers of espionage, whether you've dreamed of proving yourself in training as a spy or just want to show off your knowledge of all things 007.
