Dir: Andrew V. McLaglen

North Sea Hijack seemed to be a bit of an odd choice for Roger Moore to star in to escape the type cast of Bond considering he plays a sexist ex-military adventurer who works for the government to stop a bunch of terrorists from blowing up an oil rig and a couple of ships against all odds. To be fair, the character of Rufus Excalibur Ffolkes isn't really the same as Bond, he is far more interesting and Moore plays him well. The rest of the films is fairly uninteresting and quite dated but I quite like these action films of the late 70's early 80's. James Mason's voice is a bonus.
