Freddie as F.R.O.7 (Known in the United States as Freddie the Frog) was a... strange children's film produced in the UK in 1992.The basic plot: Frederick, a young medieval French prince with magical powers, is turned into a frog by his evil sorceress aunt, who kills his (likewise magically-trained) father in a bid to seize the throne. After being pursued by his aunt (assuming the form of a snake), the prince is saved by the Loch Ness Monster, who indebts herself to him, and hides out with a colony of anthropomorphic frogs for an unspecified time. After ultimately deciding to accept his fate and fight evil using his powers, Freddie grows to the size of an adult human, travels to the future and becomes a French secret agent with a sentient car. (voiced by Ben Kingsley!).And that's just the prologue.Two English cuts of the film exist, these being the original version of the film released to cinemas in the UK and the US (as Freddie as F.R.O.7) and a noticeably-shorter cut released on VHS in the United States under the alternate title Freddie the Frog. The original and unedited UK version is now available on YouTube, here. The American cut is reviewed here.The chief differences between the UK and the US version is that in the US version, there was an attempt to make the plot more streamlined (complete with introductory narration by James Earl Jones), although they also removed numerous lines that makes the film a least a little easier to follow. It also removes much of the original UK cut's bizarre attempts at sexual innuendo, several shots of Klansmen within the Villain Song and a brief, oblique shot in which Daffers flashes Freddie. | |

Liquid Assets | |
| Freddie as F.R.O.7 / int_16fbce44 | comment |
Liquid Assets: Apparently, a nation's heritage is stored inside historical landmarks and makes everyone in the country fall asleep when stolen. The way it's explained, it's the country's national pride/patriotism which is stored inside the monuments. Stealing them doesn't do much but demoralize the people. The Snake group's actual plan is to take the patriotic energy, turn it from positive to negative, and then send it back, leaving the British weak and apathetic and easy targets for a large-scale naval invasion. | |

Genre Shift | |
| Freddie as F.R.O.7 / int_177a6464 | comment |
Genre Shift: The first fifteen minutes of runtime are a fairly mundane fairy tale movie that seems to be based on The Frog Prince. Then it suddenly shifts into a bizarre comedy-adventure James Bond parody about a quipping human-sized frog agent thwarting a megalomaniacal cult leader purloining London landmarks in The '90s. | |

Bald of Evil: Most of El Supremo and Messina's Mooks have shaved heads or at least bald/balding. Even "The Leader" at the horse races, when his top hat is knocked off, is revealed to be be balding. Inverted with the British Secret Service. Most of them, including The Brigadier, are going bald (with the butler having an entirely bald head). Trilby is the only one with a full head of hair and he turns out to be a turncoat. | |

Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: Messina. Her accent, in human form, is a completely over the top French accent, whereas in Snake form, it's a little more subtle. When she's singing, the French accent drops altogether, because Grace Jones sings it in place of her speaking voice actress. | |

Overlapping with Voodoo Shark, the American cut tries to explain how Freddie is still alive in the 1990s by saying he used his magic powers to Time Travel to the future. All well and good, but if he could travel through time, why didn't he go back and save his parents from Messina? Speaking of Messina, neither English cut explains why she's still around hundreds of years later. | |

The Un-Reveal | |
| Freddie as F.R.O.7 / int_5a3b8032 | comment |
The Unreveal: Freddie calling Messina out by name (and identifying her as his aunt) in such a dramatic fashion suggests that it was supposed to be a secret as to who she was, and she never actually speaks to the protagonists before this point. While unconfirmed, this may indicate that the prologue sequence detailing Freddie's backstory may have been added relatively late into production to clarify the film's already-convoluted plot for kids. Given that the prologue likewise adds the detail that Freddie and Messina hail from high medieval France (which is never implied in any other scene) and thus have inexplicably lasted centuries without ageing significantly, your mileage will vary on how much more bewildering the prologue's addition made the rest of the narrative. | |

Unholy Matrimony | |
| Freddie as F.R.O.7 / int_5abc8612 | comment |
Unholy Matrimony: Implied with Messina and El Supremo. Supremo calls Messina such things as "my lovely", "my darling" and "my beauty" and Messina appears to get jealous when Supremo gets distracted by Daffers. El Supremo's...oddly conspicuous obsession with serpents may likewise explain why Messina consistently remains in her snake form in his presence. | |

Forgot About His Powers: Despite displaying powerful telekinesis in the prologue, and making a big deal about his preference for his thoughts over violence, Freddie is quick to just use martial arts on his enemies and doesn't bother with his magic until the climax. And even then, he promptly forgets it when it would be useful. | |

Dub-Induced Plot Hole | |
| Freddie as F.R.O.7 / int_6a85e9e1 | comment |
Dub-Induced Plot Hole: Trilby's status as The Mole was superfluous to begin with (he doesn't do anything but act smug and snicker evilly) but the American Cut's removal of him getting exposed and arrested makes it even more nonsensical, as he's now acting suspicious for seemingly no reason at all. Overlapping with Voodoo Shark, the American cut tries to explain how Freddie is still alive in the 1990s by saying he used his magic powers to Time Travel to the future. All well and good, but if he could travel through time, why didn't he go back and save his parents from Messina? Speaking of Messina, neither English cut explains why she's still around hundreds of years later. | |

Mistaken for Racist: When an aide tries to warn the Brigadier that Freddy, who is from France "is a frog", the Brigadier assumes that the aide is making a racist/xenophobic slur and tells the lad off. He's rather stunned when he sees that FRO7 is a literal frog. | |

Obviously Evil: Freddie's aunt, Messina. Having pale skin, an overall snake-ish appearance and a narrator who tells the audience you're evil helps. Likewise, Trilby, the black-haired, constantly giggling agent among the Brigadier's staff. Even before we see his Snake tattoo, he's clearly a villain. | |

What Happened to the Mouse?: Trilby, a member of the British Secret Service who is constantly seen grinning and laughing evilly to himself, who is later viewed to be a spy for El Supremo. The American version removes this revelation, and he just seems to be an asshole. In the US cut, instead of turning into a bird and flying away, Messina gets wrapped around a pole (again) and... that's it. | |

Hoist by His Own Petard: El Supremo is shrunk by his own shrinking ray at the film's climax. Happens literally before that. Daffers enlarges the shrunken Big Ben while it's behind/partially behind El Supremo, and, when it grows, the clock hands grab him by the seat of his pants. He's left dangling from the clock face. | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
| Freddie as F.R.O.7 / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: When Freddie discovers the latest targeted monument is Big Ben, he tells the Brigadier that the target is Windsor Castle so Big Ben would get taken, and he could infiltrate the enemy base. To prevent them from informing the Brigadier, he disabled their walkie-talkies. Scotty and Daffers are not pleased. Freddie also lets Messina escape in the end, for whatever reason in the original cut (possibly because the producers had actually begun to make a sequel before UK audiences and critics put a stop to that). | |

Reptiles Are Abhorrent: Freddie's evil aunt can turn into a snake. It doesn't... Wait, it actually does help once or twice! Huh. Averted with Nessie, who is quite pleasant. | |

Freddie's aunt, Messina. Having pale skin, an overall snake-ish appearance and a narrator who tells the audience you're evil helps. | |

Super Not-Drowning Skills | |
| Freddie as F.R.O.7 / int_e5bb2929 | comment |
Super Not-Drowning Skills: Scotty, who even talks under water at one point (apparently he's okay as long as he sucks all of the air bubbles back in). Ditto for Messina, who can survive underwater as a snake. But this is possibly because she's magic. | |

Scotty pulls his gun out at one point, and Freddie tells him to put it away. So, Scotty throws it away over his shoulder, and it goes off and blows a hole in his hat. | |

NO INDOOR VOICE | |
| Freddie as F.R.O.7 / int_f15c2859 | comment |
No Indoor Voice: El Supremo. When chewing out his henchmen for blowing their cover, the walkie-talkie is vibrating so much from the power of his voice that it jumps out of the henchman's hands. Might have something to do with being voiced by BRIAN BLESSED. | |
