This movie was considered a total flop back over 40 years ago. Honestly, it is very good action film as compared to all today Marvel and Superheroes trash. I will watch it again with great deal of pleasure. RIP good sir Roger!!
I remember watching this movie with my dad when i was a child. "Don't tell mom i've let you stay up that late." Since this day i always had a warm feeling when i saw this movie. Later that year a cat on a nearby farm had kittens ... guess how many we took and how we named them. Thank you, dad. We miss you.
Great movie. I had to watch it here though I own the DVD and saw it many times. Great actors, great story and a hilariously pc-incorrect Roger Moore. No love for humans only for cats. The stitching makes it perfect. Thanks for posting.
My Mum took me to see this at the cinema when it came out. Roger is basically James Bond and The Saint the whole time - His eyebrow acting in full effect.
Thanks for posting, I watch this one regularly on DVD. A highly underrated movie, fantastic acting from all cast and in particular the late great RGM. Along with The Wild Geese its a classic example of Moore’s acting outside of Bond, this really is a classic good old fashioned movie that I’m so glad they made. Thanks again👍
I have never heard such a load of negative comments on one film, this was made in the 80’s, it’s of it’s time, and certainly no worse than many films made at the time, if you don’t like it, why are you here ?, speaking personally this is better than some of Roger’s Bond Films, and definitely no worse than a lot of American films of the time.
Actually Julie there are loads of positive comments - but these seem to be from dyed-in-the-wool Roger Moore fans. Personally, I thought he was great as James Bond, but this film stinks. Sorry.
Several actors and crew members of this movie worked in the James Bond film franchise. This movie starred Roger Moore, who played Bond in the 1970s and 1980s; David Hedison, who played Felix Leiter in Live and Let Die (1973) and Licence to Kill (1989); and George Baker, who worked on On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) and The Spy Who Loved Me (1977). The common crew included special effects technicians John Morris and John Richardson and stuntmen Martin Grace, Richard Graydon, and George Leech.
Roger Moore typecast as a bearded, eccentric, arrogant, cat-loving, chauvinist with master strategist skills who does needlepoint embroidery and drinks scotch whisky immoderately😂
Roger Moore stood up in a very exclusive restaurant and said: "How disgusting it is to 'force feed' ducks in cages that they can't even move in!" - a REAL HERO! ❤

So many critics of this excellent English film. I thoroughly enjoyed it. James Mason, Roger Moore, Anthony Perkins.... wow! Moore at age 18 married his first wife and he suffered domestic abuse by her. His second wife was just as bad when she smashed a flowerpot on his head threw bricks at him, and smashed windows of his European house. His third marriage produced three children. His fourth marriage was his best, but his wife died from cancer at 47 while Moore struggled with prostate cancer, he died from cancer of the lungs and liver at age 89. All the bullshit that Moore was gay is false. RIP Roger Moore, James Mason, Anthony Perkins
I love Roger Moore, ever since I watched him in the Saint. I watched him as 007 as well, but I still like Simon Templer better. He plays this character very well very enjoyable movie. Thank you for posting. I absolutely love the ending, those kittens were so cute.
what's the one where he's in a car crash, survives.. ..or does he!? i want to say 'the man who wasn't there..' but not sure.. damn loved it as a kid, early seventies? thrilling lol.. it's "the man who haunted himself" 🙂
ruining the final scene with the kittens the ultimate final resolution point ruined with adverts for other videos what a pity other wise thankyuou for film
Great movie! I only know it in the German dubbing! Nice to see it here in the English original! Thanks for uploading! Liked and greetings from Germany!👍
The socialist Romania bought it for distribution in cinema halls, this is how I saw it when I was child. Back then, the cinema hall was the only place to see color movies, my TV was monochrome.
It's saddening to see James Mason trying to make the best of his role, but the only function of this half-wit admiral is to not understand what Roger Moore's hero is aiming at. What a waste of talent😢
Remember watching this on a Saturday matinee when we got to watch two movies for the price of one 😂 them were the days. Iirc we went to see Roger Moore as 007 in The Spy Who Loved Me
The UK used billion for million million, not thousand million. The government changed in 1974, a tiny bit before this was filmed, but we can't expect normal people to instantly pick up every insanity the government does.
When I first saw this one, it was because of ANTHONY PERKINS... And I have to admit, I don't liked Roger Moore... Always thought his 007 was to silly... But as FFOLKES I absolutely love him... It took my a couple of years to get me this movie on DVD, because here in Germany it was out of stock and no newly release planned... Luckily, I got it from England, also with a German translation 😉...
@@robertmcada2102 I think NORTH SEA HIJACK was the original title... Here in Germany it was called SPRENGKOMMANDO ATLANTIK which means BOMB SQUAD ATLANTIC in english.. Maybe other countries called it " fFolks"... 😊
Roger Moore is the only one cracking jokes and the others have no witty lines at all, so I guess it's a serious movie where someone tried to be funny by ad libbing. And yes, johnt, James Mason should have declined the part of the half-wit admiral, but fortunately he hasn't. Maybe because James gets to be driven around in an Austin Princess by a stunning female driver😁
Anybody got any thoughts on how Kramer planned on getting away if the money was delivered? Surely an accomplice, but then wouldn’t the navy had set up a blockade? Maybe a helicopter, but again an air no-fly zone would have been set up, surely? Maybe a submarine, but that would have been incredible. A speedboat in one of the containers??? There must have been some logical plan? He may have taken the detonator on the escape, to deter any attempt to follow whilst he and his team reached some remote spot. Or taken hostages, again on some kind of outboard/speedboat?
Only one thing to - nag - about. Would it be the style of Roger Moore, never mind which or what role he played, to drink out from a bottle? I would expect that he is ALWAYS - prepared- and gets out a glas or somethign out of this sort from his bag?
There is a computer game, made for the Commodore C64 and AMIGA, called «The Persian Gulf Inferno» or (in some countries) «The North Sea Inferno» … this old lame game is pretty good and heavily inspired by this classic movie.
I started watching this movie a long time back, but found it boring and switched to something else. Today it came up again and am i glad I did watch it this time.

Well said.
It was originally called "FFOLKES"
More like, FFLOP! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The Saint, Persuaders, Bond : I loved Roger Moore.

Roger stood up for ducks being shut in tiny cages and being force fed - a Truly Decent Man!
Any film with sir Roger Moore in it is a classic RIP legend 😪😪
wasnt sure at the beginning but the movie definately won me over ...moore was great.

This is brilliant! No matter what Roger Moore & James Mason is in I love it!
roger moore and jack watson the boat captain.. the wild geese
This is one of my all time favorite movies. Very well done, and gets right to the story without all the fluff
Roger Moore RIP... missed for sure😟
Classic Roger Moore. Yes it has faults, who doesn't? But at the same time it's glorious. So many memorable scenes.
I have NEVER taken TEN minutes to do the Times crossword….
It's A Good Movie! We Have The DVD & It's Called 'ffolkes'. I Think It Was Also Released As, 'Trouble In The North Atlantic'. Thanks For Sharing.
I loved this movie. None of the BS of today

No, released in 1979

It's all a bit naff, but this film has a certain charm and earnestness.
What’s a naff? Is it like bobbins? My Manc neighbor calls movies bobbins.

he never got away from that
he deliberately chose this one to be rid of his James Bond image

2nd wife smashed a guitar over his head!
Dont forget George Baker. He did a remarkable job as Tiberius in "I, Claudius"
I saw this in the theater when it came out in 1980. Back then it was released as Ffolkes. I have been looking for it under that title for ages.😸
I love Roger Moore, ever since I watched him in the Saint. I watched him as 007 as well, but I still like Simon Templer better. He plays this character very well very enjoyable movie. Thank you for posting. I absolutely love the ending, those kittens were so cute.
What happened to this Great Britain?
Illegal immigrants?
This movie was such a guilty pleasure of mine growing up... and tbf it still is.
A very rare movie. Both appallingly bad, and very good at the same time. And in both case, oh so very 80s in everything. LOL.
Saw this as a kid in the USA...think it was called Ffolkes.
Came here to post that. I still have this recorded on an old VCR tape from when HBO used to play it continuously back in the 80s.
@@AJ82778 Yes, I remember those daze. LOL!

Highly enjoyable action romp 👍
Didn’t Jennifer Hilary look gorgeous. Her rolling of the eyes when RM was verbally harassing her 😂
A silly but pretty entertaining film. ffolkes should be brought back.

Such a good movie
Aside that Roger Moore' character has many signs of being an in the closet gay, it is a great comando action movie

But you are able able to watch and enjoy the film without constant ad breaks.
You think, by now, uploaders would be tacking on an extra 15 seconds of filler footage, to allow for that.
I miss Roger Moore
My mother brought me to see this in Dublin when it came out. It hasn't improved in the intervening years!😅
I can only assume that James Mason was flat broke to agree to play a role in this terrible movie.
Spoiled by bloody adverts.
"Don't forget to feed my cats"! - Roger Moore

It's saddening to see James Mason trying to make the best of his role, but the only function of this half-wit admiral is to not understand what Roger Moore's hero is aiming at. What a waste of talent😢
You must not have met many Admirals.
Wow that is a classic. Wonder if this inspired the 007 series... What great actors. What an adventure...
007 predates this movie and Moore wasn't 1st
Anti-Bond-Movie.....and real excellent
Pretty good movie. I have not even heard this before. Roger Moore is brilliant as always :)
Fell upon this by accident. Lucky.

I honestly can’t tell if this movie is serious or a comedy!
Thank you, something was zipping around my brain but I couldn’t think what it was. Serious or comedy 🤷🏽♂️
Dreadful movie. I’m surprised James Mason agreed to take part. At this stage of his career, he was better off playing villains like in Salem’s Lot.
Roger Moore is the only one cracking jokes and the others have no witty lines at all, so I guess it's a serious movie where someone tried to be funny by ad libbing.

This was an excellent film and Moore;s character was a real hoot. I am sure it was part of the whole thing to have a James Bond dislike women.

You are correct. Don’t know why.
for release in the United states is was renamed Ffolkes. But for European distribution it is north sea hijack.
