• 

“Our Man Flint” is the original action movie. Flint is a retired secret agent, enjoying the much sought-after rest, who is called back to deal with one of the worst enemies’ planet Earth could dream of: Galaxy. You may wonder, what is Galaxy? Nothing less than an evil organization made up of three mad scientists with the same tremendous goal: mastering and controlling the world by originating artificially natural disasters.

The world’s governments are on their knees and Derek Flint is sent across the ocean to solve the problem. In one of his long and risky journeys, he finds himself in France, precisely in a strip club in Marseille. This exquisite town is noted because of its traditional bouillabaisse soup, somehow similar to fish stew. France sure knows how to cook and Flint is lucky enough to savor one steaming bowl, before getting back to action. Italy is his next stop and after that Exotica. Will he save our world? Make yourself a bowl of bouillabaisse and hope for the best!
