In this feature-length film based on the "Flintstones" TV show, secret agent Rock Slag is injured during a chase in Bedrock. Slag's chief decides to replace the injured Slag with Fred Flintstone, who just happens to look like him. The trip takes Fred to Paris and Rome, which is good for Wilma, Barney, and Betty, but can Fred foil the mysterious Green Goose's evil plan for a destructive missile without letting his wife and friends in on his secret?

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

A lot of fun even if you're not a FLINTSTONES aficionado. Fred Flintstone manages an all expenses paid trip to Paris for him and Wilma in exchange for some wacky spy work. Of course the Rubbles come along for the fun. This feature length version of the TV series retains all the show's charm, shows off a lot of modern stone age gadgetry (there's a particularly creative bird inside Wilma's camera). It's colorful, fast-paced and goofy. It's also laced with a few truly satiric touches...poking fun at airplane hierarchy, misguided doctors, as well as a bit of La dolce vita. Marred perhaps only by the needless inclusion of some dud songs (save for one performed by the inimitable Louis Prima). Alan Reed does the voice of Fred and Mel Blanc is Barney. Harvey Korman and Janet Waldo also provide various voices. A Hanna-Barbera triumph!

The 1994 big screen version of "The Flintstones" was undeniably atrocious, so if you want a decent "Flintstones" movie, then "The Man Called Flintstone" works (if only marginally). The plot has secret agent Rock Slang, who just happens to be Fred Flinstone's doppelganger, getting injured and replaced with Fred. This not only complicates Fred's vacation plans, but makes him the target of spies Ali and Bobo (fortunately for Fred, these guys are beyond incompetent). In the end, Fred's big mission is to stop master criminal Green Goose from destroying the world.Okay, so this movie won't challenge your mind or anything (and I guess that it does go overboard at times), but at least it's not a travesty of the show (I can't say the same for the 1994 movie). This one passes.

I love tis movie it is very well done excellent lovely quite long. When I first watched this movie I was very entertained I didn't want it to end it made me want to watch it every day i became addicted to it. The green goose's assistances made me laugh a lot they just crack me up. This movie was made 1966 I think for that time I think that the the movie was very well made. I love it when they are in the airport the plane was very cool I liked it, it looked very original. This movie is one of my favorite movies that they have ever made. This movie is a musical. I think that this movie is going to be a movie that will be remembers for a very very long time, my rating for this movie is 10/10.By Dale Buttigieg

The first movie of the modern Stone Age family came out in the midst of the spy craze that was all through films and TV at the time (and at the end of the series' run in 1966), so given Hanna-Barbera's fondness for leaping on bandwagons it was a given that Fred would become mixed up with spies (as in fact he was in an episode of the TV show).The film has a plot that would be flattered by the word "skeletal," and as a result it's padded out with endless musical numbers - even Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm get in on the act! The amazing thing is that despite the emphasis on music and the painfully weak plot it's STILL miles ahead of the 1994 movie...
