The firts half of this movie is captivating.

What a shame the end was so lame

this was hugely popular in the 1990s - its being shown now at ifc nyc. 🎉

Still way ahead of its time, and way more sophisticated than Bond.

I am probably the minority here but I watched this series over ten years ago and I've found another show that gives me these vibes. Legion. The abstract suspense and confusion that it radiates reminds me of The Prisoner. Excellent shows. Shows you piece together for a lifetime.

The 15 minute cities that are planned, won't be so picturesque 🤨.

The technology displayed at the time was truly staggering. One, the use of a mobile phones for heavens sake.

Been here when I was on holiday in Wales a few years back.

2024~Miss beloved Leslie, a legend. ❤👍

I was six years old when it was aired on CBS. Still enjoy watching this phenomenal series.

I am currently in a Sicilian hotel resort. There are no cheap taxis. No bus service. No decent train service. And the holiday-company's tours won't pick-up from here. I am Prisoner No 6.

always wanted to see this film... ended up buying the DVD finally (with English subtitles) it's quite bizarre its starts out one way, and then half-way through it turns very dark.

Here come nolan

hes only 37 here.

I often wondered if this was a sequel to Secret Agent Man. I loved the Prisoner series, but it was concluded without any real resolution.

菅原文太版ダイハード

My favorite show of all time. Coming in second is probably The X-Files.

I was so expecting that Clive Burr drum intro to follow "free man."

Bond-like agent is grabbed by the illuminati and placed on a psychedelic island. That about sums it up.

I saw the reboot, forgot about it until now, and found this while looking it up. Definitely interested in seeing the original

I never watched the series but I recognize everything from it because of that one Simpsons episode 😅

If u are here because of nolan

Very soon...

This film is utterly beautiful.

@alexander3015 I watched the movie off the back of your trailer, so thank you for making such this so compelling! The film's translator made an odd choice with the cop using 'Why'd you do all this?' - what he says appears to be closer to 'Why'd you choose me?/Why'd you bring me into this?', but I struggle with the nuances of the Japanese language sometimes. Some of the dialogue (and it seemed to be translated well) reminded me of a mix of 'Doctor Strangelove' and the dry and sarcastic anti-authority stuff from 'The Taking Of Pelham 123'. I can't think of anything similar to this very unique movie. It's a pity you weren't able to cut the movie's trailer back when it was released - it would have helped it a little at the box office! It's maybe the best movie of the 1970s in Japan, but unusually provocative, with such a touchy subject at the center. It's a pity it isn't better known. Sadly, I think Japan's current generation are probably even less receptive to (or tolerant of) such a directly satirical and critical take on life/authorities than the late Showa generation.

Great movie

Better than oppenheimer

Mmm....do do an internet search: "prisoner+unmutual". Prob now the foremost website re data on this mega cult late 1960s TV show. It also carries info on the regular free location tours (central London et al)......BCNU

沢田研二のティアドロップサングラス姿が若い頃の浜田省吾みたい

Grandissimo capolavoro italiano

This show was a huge inspiration for the show Lost

you are, number 6

I think the reason for its continued success is that is asked questions, but rarely gives an answer.

Utterly amazing

ジュリーの顔のデカさと、そうはならんやろｗｗｗっていう雑な展開がとてもよかった

We'll be seeing you.

これはビックリしたな、もう 個人が核を持つとどうなるかという発想がな、すごいとしか言いようがない

Who is number one?

なんか、 曲の感じがエヴァっぽい

notice it is currently been shown on Legend but it very sixties

ジュリー、イカシてるなぁ😮

Loved the show but I found the final episode to be disappointing.

The Simpsons brought me here.

è fatto molto bene, complimenti

This was the very first movie in my memory that came with a hidden plot. If you get it, you get the movie, if you missed it, you can't explain the protagonist's motivation.

A series not of its time, but ahead of it.

The weird thing is that this series accurately depicted a 15 minute city-- in 1967.

What's the deal with the giant ball at 0:15 ?

確かに、核爆弾でなくとも国家は脅迫できるからな。個人レベルで手に入るのなら、その金でいい思いもできましょう。幾らかは知らないが…(笑)

wasnt a big fan of this one but couldnt help but get sucked into this world. Days later im still thinking about the images wong kar wai presented us and feel like watching it again. this is only the third film ive seen from this director, the other two being chungking express and in the mood for love.
