Editing Our Man Flint (section)

==Influences==
The film's direct nods to [[James Bond]] are in a comedic and outlandish style. Flint is initially offered a [[Walther PP#PPK|Walther PPK]] and an [[Briefcase|attache case]] with a concealed throwing knife, with Flint dismissing both as "crude". During the French strip club sequence, Flint stages a mock brawl with a patron identified as Agent 0008, a British secret agent. Flint asks if [[SPECTRE]] (the criminal organization in the early Bond movies) is involved, to which Agent 0008 replies, "It's bigger than SPECTRE!" The actor playing the role is similar in appearance to [[Sean Connery]]. Later in the film, Gila is shown reading a 0008 novel, referencing the James Bond novels.
