Freddie as F.R.O.7 (Part 1/9)

The original 1992 British version! If you see Parisian landscapes instead of a magical fairy kingdom, you're in the right place. A french prince with magical powers is turned into a frog by his evil aunt Messina. After living in a frog pond for many years, he grows up to become a successful secret agent, codenamed "F.R.O.7". With the help of Scotty, a panicky weapons inventor, and Daffers, an attractive martial arts specialist, his mission is to resolve the case of why Britain's famous monuments are disappearing. Forgive the quality of the transfer. This was released by an independent label, Entertainment UK Ltd, which has since gone into administration along with retailer Woolworths. The VHS transfer seems to be copied from another VHS tape instead of the professional-quality Beta, which is why there's soft focusing and the hissing at the beginning is louder than it should be! To make matters worse, it's a pan-and-scan version of a theatrically matted print, meaning you're actually losing a lot of information. The cut version got an open matte print, so why not this one?? The drab colours also make it look more like a movie trailer from the 80s than a product of the 90s. Some of the sound is occasionally poorly mixed, rendering some of the dialogue unintelligible. No matter what shape it's in, it's here for you to enjoy.
