After ffolkes get's on board Sanna saves him and ffolkes gives her his gun and tells her to knock him out but in the next frame he has his gun back.

There were two 1911A1 Pistols on the scene. The hi-jacker who had been knocked out had one in his possession. It is probable that ffolkes gave Sanna the hi-jacker's since he wouldn't be sure of its reliability and would have kept the one that he was given on the platform.

ffolkes uses military time couple of times, which is expected. But when on the rig and getting ready to go on the ship, he has everyone synchronize their watches to 11:14 rather than military time of 2314.

As time for paying the ransom nears, Admiral Brindsen and ffolkes are taken to the supply ship Esther by helicopter. But the helicopter left for the mainland earlier with "the three youngest" workers from the rig, and there is never any indication that the hijackers allowed it to return.

It is stated that ffolks "drinks liquor like it was water", yet after ffolks presumably takes a huge swig from his bottle right after boarding the train, the level in the bottle is still the same.

The UK Government wouldn't need to rely on Ffolkes's men, the SBS or RM Commandos would have been tasked with retaking the rigs and boat.

Despite the central character's surname being explicitly referred to in dialogue as ffolkes (lower-case), he is credited at the end of the film as Ffolkes.

ffolkes tells the admiral that he (ffolkes) will be expecting Kramer to be watching the admiral retrieve his cigarettes during his diversion and he (ffolkes) will kill Kramer TEN SECONDS LATER, that would be far too long one second would be about right.

When ffolkes arrives at the railway station, it cuts to a British Rail high density suburban-type Diesel Multiple Unit arriving at the station. It then cuts back to ffolkes walking towards the train, and the train is now a cross-country type train with side corridor and compartments.

ffolkes appears as a real perfectionist, but after overwhelming Kramer he doesn't make sure that he is really dead and can't push the button any more.

When ffolkes is explaining his background, he says; "Both my parents died tragically in childbirth." His mother perhaps, but whose father has ever died in childbirth? This ironic statement is explained in the novel Esther Ruth and Jennifer by Jack Davies, in Chapter 1. His father, Augustus ffolkes, had succumbed to a heart attack after witnessing his premature birth, thus making him the only child to have had a father die in child birth.

Admiral Sir Francis Brimsden KCB ought to be addressed and referred to consistently as "Sir Francis," not by his last name and service rank. As a Knight of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath, he's earned that "Sir" form. Even ffolkes ought to know that.

When Admiral Brindsden is introduced to ffolkes, his rank is given as Admiral of the Fleet. The stripes on his sleeve, and the credits, give his rank as Admiral. Admiral of the Fleet, or Fleet Admiral, would have four half-inch stripes above the two inch stripe.

There are two occasions when ffolkes could potentially be heard by Kramer by speaking in the background when first Admiral Brinsden and second the Lord Privvy Seal on the radio-telephone. First, when Brinsden is engaged in the distracting phone call prior to the simulated "Ruth" explosion, ffolkes says "Eight seconds to go" loudly enough to be heard by Kramer. Secondly, when the Lord Privvy Seal answers the phone to Kramer, ffolkes loudly shouts at Mr. King's secretary about the vermilion wet-suit, the volume of which could easily have been heard by Kramer. This despite the first conversation between Kramer and Mr. King when the latter warns his secretary not to make any noise.
