On the Loose is a 1985 Swedish film directed by Staffan Hildebrand and distributed by Föreningsfilmo AB. It stars Tomas Fryk (known from the movies Love Me and Childrens Island) and Carina Lindström and features appearances by rock 'n' roll singer Jerry Williams and the hard rock band Europe who also contributed three unique recordings to the movie's soundtrack.
Peter works as a welder in his hometown Katrineholm, but dreams of getting a better job with more money. When Europe comes to Katrineholm to do a concert, Peter finds out that his girlfriend Nina had a relationship with the band's vocalist Joey Tempest many years ago. Peter thinks Nina wants to get back together with Joey, so he gets very jealous, gets drunk at the concert and goes berserk. The safety officer Frasse makes Peter realize he should pull himself together and go sort things out with Nina.
See main article: On the Loose (EP). The soundtrack was written by Joey Tempest and featured the songs "Rock the Night", "On the Loose" (early versions of songs re-recorded for the album The Final Countdown) and the unique Joey Tempest solo recording "Broken Dreams". It was released as an EP only sold at screenings of the movie that is now a sought after collector's item especially outside Sweden. A live performance of "Rock the Night" by Europe is shown in the film. The John Lennon song "Working Class Hero" is also featured in the film, as sung by Jerry Williams.
