NORTH SEA HIJACK T-SHIRT

A classic movie t-shirt available in black or white cotton.

Before Bond. After Bond. Beyond Bond.
In 1979, Roger Moore traded martinis for moggies and tuxedos for tactical wool in North Sea Hijack — a wildly underappreciated British action-thriller that showed the suave superspy in his strangest guise yet: cat-loving, whiskey-drinking, and dangerously unpredictable counterterrorist Rufus Excalibur Ffolkes.

Hellwood’s North Sea Hijack T-Shirt pays tribute to that cult classic — a film that sits somewhere between espionage and eccentricity, where oil rigs replace casinos and our hero’s only soft spot is for his cats. Directed by Andrew V. McLaglen, this seafaring adventure pits Ffolkes’ elite commando unit against a gang of mercenaries threatening to blow up oil platforms in the North Sea. The tone is as bizarre as it is brilliant — part hard-nosed thriller, part parody of the very machismo Moore was famous for.

“I trained them to kill. I didn’t train them to like it.” — Rufus Excalibur Ffolkes

It’s Roger Moore as you’ve never seen him: growling, grinning, and gloriously grumpy. With his signature wit buried under a beard and his manners replaced with menace, Moore crafts a character who could only have existed in late-‘70s British cinema — self-aware, eccentric, and unmistakably iconic.

For fans of cult thrillers, maritime mayhem, and Moore’s most mischievous moments, this tee is a love letter to an unsung gem. Equal parts nostalgic and nautical, the North Sea Hijack T-Shirt captures that singular moment when Britain’s most debonair actor went rogue, went rough, and — for once — preferred a cat to a conquest.
