I just find it funny that they made all this fuss over a mere mission to mars... but I recall Thunderbird 3 made it half way to the sun to rescue Sun Probe (which, incidentally made it all the way to the sun).
@poncaguy61 - Noboby really knows what F.A.B. actually stands for. Someone once suggested "Frequency Acknowledge Broadcast", but I heard somewhere that Gerry Anderson just liked the sound of "F.A.B."
@Naylte The first computer graphic displays were around in the 1950's and of course featured in 2001 a Space Odessey (1968). I don't mean CGI but just simple displays. Look up Sketchpad developed in 1961 by Ivan Sutherland. You could manipulate images. We weren't living in caves back in the 1960's and even had one of the first Computer games (Space Wars).
Another great aspect of the show and this movie was the music. I like the extra bit that they created for the start of this clip; you can tell they really wanted to make this movie a cinematic experience.
thank you so very much Equnai for sharing all of this thunderbirds magic with us all.i am such a fan of all of Gerry's work and i think thunderbirds was the best.I can remember growing up and watching it on tv and i was hooked.now that i am nearly 28 i still love it because it was such magic.thank you again for sharing it with us.
I love the scenes at 3.09 when " the Hood " gets his foot squashed / caught; and you see him in pain ( the look on his face; etc ). It's nice to see him suffer physically for a change. Regards.
Never really liked this, movie. not enought Thunderbirds, it didn't start on Tracy island or anything, but i love the T.V series, the only movies that were good were the Thunderbird 6 & the 2004 Thunderbirds films!
you wouldn't get the bloody foot nowadays. plus, why the hell does the Hood need to wear a mask when nobody is going to see him? Ahhh, whatever...

@ewaf88 Ah. I thought it was like the graphics in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy TV series, which were done with a sort of backlighting technique.

@Naylte Well there's all typesof graphics - goodness knows where we'll be in 30 years time.

i agree the 2004 thunderbirds movie was good but it totally murdered the 1960's show.
ross79745 2 years ago 4
it never murdered it, you just cant change the original make up of the show and films. i just think it never even happened :P

One would have thought the Hood would have more sense than to put his foot in the way of a hydraulic ram.

When The Hood's foot got crushed in that piston (or whatever it is), it reminded me of the opening scene in Saw V.
