Dead on Target (film)
Dead on Target (also titled Our Man Flint: Dead On Target) is the third and final film in the Our Man Flint movie trilogy. The film originally aired on ABC on March 17, 1976 and was shot in Vancouver, British Columbia. The TV movie was a pilot for a possible weekly series, but it did not get good enough ratings to warrant such, and the aptly titled Dead On Target became the last Derek Flint movie.
