I like the scene where Flint is lured into a trap inside a building(this building is then hidden via some fancy mechanism underneath)in Italy. When the ZOWIE agents arrive on the scene, Flint is taken captive, driven-away, and the building is hidden underneath.
An Italian intelligence agent(Italian-American?)asks a guy in the vicinity:

-Dov'e la casa? Where's the house?
-What house?
-Are you crazy?
-You're the one whose crazy!
Cramden: Don't tell me the building disappeared!
-The building disappeared!

My favorite scene is when all hell breaks loose on the island and he's climbing up the ladder and that AWESOME spy guitar riff is cranking! To me at age 7 it was the coolest-and I still get chills when I see it. I own the soundtrack and play it all the time.

Early in the film when Gila sends Gruber into the bathroom to kill Flint, and the subsequent confrontation.

There are so many favourite scenes, but my two best ones are the scene in the office where Flint get's him to time how long it takes to poison dart the fly (quite funny that a dart would kill the fly outright anyway so having it tipped with curari is pretty pointless!) although the best line has to be when shortly after this scene, Flint leaves the office and attacks the guards that were outside. When asked for an explanation....

-They were wearing 'Battle of the bulge' ribbons
-There are no ribbons for the 'Battle of the bulge'
-Exactly, these men are imposters!

Classic.

I consider it unfair to enter a battle of wits when my opponent is so inadequately armed.

When he becomes a wild turban-head in the Casbah
in order to detonate the ceramic bomb!

warm4yrfrm, I'm right there with you. Without doubt the best scene in the film.

Closely followed by the high dive!!

It's testament to Coburn's eternal power that he can Go-Go dance and still look cooler than almost any man who ever lived.

And whats was the reason for having them there in the first place?

Flint was so brilliant that even though there were no such things as Battle of the Bulge ribbons, Flint still knew that that's what they were!

Watch out for my hand as it comes out of your monitor to give you a slap.

At least as brilliant as an eagle that knows when a human is an American.

Pretty much the final 20 minutes or so when Flint takes his trip thru the reward room to rescue his girls, his destruction of Galaxy Island and battle with Rodney, his sending his girls over the waterfall in the steel drums, his dive off the top of the island, his happy reward from the ladies, the island being blown up and the ominous final shot of the anti-American eagle escaping. A great ending and 1960s fantasy spy cinema at its finest.

I would definitely agree with that! All the scenes in the Reward Room, as well as the scenes with Flint in the garden, are my favorites!

I get a kick out the scene at the end of the movie when they are pulling the girls out of the water into the boat. Watch the guy pulling Gina Golan out. He gets some good leverage!

When things go BANG at he end, on the island, and when this happens the Jerry Goldsmith score is going on all thrusters! LOVE IT.

An anti-American eagle. It's diabolical.
