History WesternAnimation / TheManCalledFlintstone

* BadBoss: An informed trait with the Green Goose, as Ali and Bobo spent a good portion of the movie [[YouHaveFailedMed worried about what he'd do to them]] if they didn't do away with Fred (who they thought was Slag). Apart from the fact that the Green Goose actually wanted Slag alive in order to get information on the anti-missile-missile that could ruin his plan, he didn't display any kind of hostility towards his cronies, even congratulating Ali and Bobo when they brought him the information he was after.

* CoversAlwaysLie: The film's promotional image (seen above) features two FemmeFatale characters, the implication being they'd play important supporting roles to Fred's spy. In truth, only one of them has plot relevance (Tanya, the one wearing a hat-mask) while the other lady doesn't even exist in the story proper, but as a mere figment of Fred's imagination (seen briefly during the "Spy Type Guy" song number). The same image also shows three spy gadgets, but the first two only appear in the aforementioned musical number.

''The Man Called Flintstone'' is a 1966 American animated musical comedy film produced by Creator/HannaBarbera and released by Creator/ColumbiaPictures. It was the second Hanna-Barbera feature, after ''Hey There, It's Yogi Bear!'' (1964). The film is a theatrical spin-off of the 1960-66 television series, ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'', and is a SwanSong of the TV show, made immediately following the end of production on the series. The working title of the film was ''That Man Flintstone'', with the film poster featuring Fred in the same pose of the Bob Peak poster for ''Film/OurManFlint''. The film is a parody of the James Bond films. This is the only animated ''Flintstones'' film to get a theatrical release and the only feature-length film (there have been several made-for-TV movies) to feature the original 1960-66 series voice cast (almost; Betty is still voiced by Gerry Johnson in this film).[[note]]This is also the first time Henry Corden appears as Fred, although it's just for Fred's singing voice in "Teammates". He would go on to succeed Alan Reed as the official voice of Fred beginning in the late 1970s.[[/note]]

* WholePlotReference: The basic plot of the movie is taken wholesale from the James Bond novel ''Literature/{{Moonraker}}''.

* BaitAndSwitch: the opening sequence sets up that Fred is being chased by Ali and Bobo, apparently beginning his role as a superspy ''in media res'', but it turns out to be secret agent Rock Slag instead, who just so happens to be identical to Fred, down to wearing Fred's typical wardrobe in the scene.

-->'''Bobo:''' We'll die like dogs.

** This movie recycles the plots of Fred being a double for a powerful lookalike from the episodes ''The Tycoon'' and ''King for a Knight'' & the James Bond parody from the episodes ''Dr. Sinister'' and ''The Stonefinger Caper''.

* FakeUltimateHero: What agent Rock Slag ultimately amounts to. For all the shilling he gets from Chief Boulder, he does nothing throughout his appearances except getting beaten up and humiliated one way or another. He never once even displays a lick of resourcefulness, unlike Fred, who ironically ends up doing Slag's job far better than he does.

* WhatTheHellHero: Wilma and the Rubbles believe Fred is cheating on her, and left the restaurant. Where Rock Slag just arrived and opens the cab door for her, only to get beaten up by Wilma and the Rubbles thinking he's Fred trying to sweet-talk her.

* DemotedToExtra: Bamm-Bamm has no dialogue in the movie. Pebbles is largely unimportant, but gets two musical numbers (one of them helping to motivate Fred to continue his espionage job). Dino and Hoppy only appear at the very beginning, although their appearance does kick off the entire plot, with an injury Fred receives while returning from taking them to an animal shelter while he's out of town is what results in him going to the same hospital Rock happens to be in.

* ThoseTwoBadGuys: Ali and Bobo.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: The oddball Hungarian dub managed to rewrite the entire plot to be about drugs, many of them explicitly named, under strict communist censorship at that. Also, Fred at one point mentions Triple X may be disguised as a prostitute.
