Austin Powers Collection (International Man of Mystery / The Spy Who Shagged Me / Goldmember) [Blu-ray] Directed by Jay Roach.
Starring the late, great James Coburn (who studied Jeet Kune Do with Bruce Lee, BTW), this 3-film collection (Our Man Flint, In Like Flint, and a bonus tv movie based upon the character, never before released) is a must see for the true spy film afficionado. Tongue in cheek, and just as way out as the Austin Powers films (Mike Myers borrowed the phone ring from this movie for the "Austin Powers" films, only slightly altered, as he's of the same generation as your truly, and grew up watching the same films), Derek Flint is part Doctor Who, part James Bond, with the best aspects of both (he makes his *own* gadgets, thank you very much, with no need for a "Q"). We just got ours, and it's a thoroughly enjoyable viewing.
