Thunderbird 2 Launch Sequence

[grreeknick]

Team America, World Police. Amazing. I'd forgotten that this was where the boys got their idea for the movie from.

[MoscowMaestro]

We never see how he changes into the uniform ;))

[SuperBoxWorld]

those trees at 1:35 are AWESOMELY EPIC

i used to have the whole collection on those good old VHS tapes!

Oh how i long for the sound of a VHS loading into the box

AHHHHHHH

I LOVE VHS

THEY WERE THE BEST

THUMBS UP IF YOU LOVE VHS!

[gahks]

which episode is this particular clip from?

[prausch65]

@gahks This clip is from "The Perils of Lady Penelope".

[Kaffyboy]

If this was real, seriously, you'd be dead well and truly before they even took off from the island!!

[spolier]

|Er hello? Did you any of you actually watch this when it first came out? And as for the comment by Dataflowc, I would simply say "are you German?". You are a total wanker.

[phantomhacker90]

question how would they retrieve pod 4 ?

[spolier]

@phantomhacker90 how old are you?

[personsom1]

@WhoSoundFX i totally remember that :D

[wikiuser92]

#2 is my favourite

[spolier]

@wikiuser92 yep, me too!

[stingrayfan2007]

I think that with the passenger chute it passes through the same tunnel that virgil uses to get to thunderbird 2

[prausch65]

@WhoSoundFX I searched the criteria you mentioned, and could not find any thing pertaining to the Thunderbirds Lauch sequence as far as similarities go. Any possibility of posting the site to view it?

[AirGuitarChampion]

@prausch65 its true, even the wallace and gromit creator nick park admitted its where he got his inspiration from. theres also scenes in curse of the were-rabbit

[shimattaranma]

@prausch65 They drive out of the garage with their motorbike, the trees fold away, I think, and the pool turns around (homage to TB1).

[spolier]

@shimattaranma you are an idiot

[toon6army]

In the morning - on the way to (yuek) work - starting my car off the drive to my house, (which is interestingly angled similar to the 'real' TB-2 launch angle of some 35 degrees), I always make the sounds for launch of TB-2.

I can even make the whistling sound of the engines thought the gap between my teeth.

I think I am ok, really...

[cyanman123]

What's in pod 6?

[C0BO]

@cyanman123 The Monobrake.

[cyanman123]

Best sequence ever... Of all time

[Galianvincent1]

Thunderbird 2 was always my favourite. Thanks for uploading

[GuitarZoNe8KA]

replace c17s with these

[pckid888]

Thunderbird 2 kicks arse!

[7biwr]

Best Thundrebird by a mile

[farangsept]

inoubliable !!! thanks !

[Stoneless014]

Star wars are GO!

[mildredsmonkey]

i had the tracy island setup, with like every thunderbird aswell when i was little, the trees flattened for thunderbird 2 n everything haha

[WulfrunGirl]

@mildredsmonkey I had that too! I kept losing Thunderbird 4 out of Thunderbird 2 though. xD

[HOMEMDEGELO01]

The Thunderbird II was my favourite one....

[kolbpilot]

Talk about some thrust !

[C0BO]

Thunderbird 2 is my favourite out of all the Thunderbirds. I just wish it was real.

[ShadoControl]

In "Thunderbirds Are Go" the Thunderbird 2 launch sequence from the hangar had no music. My favourite launch sequence of them all.

Does the sound from this upload only come in one channel?

SHADO CONTROL

[prausch65]

I do apologize about the one channel sound, I was having difficulty with my equipment, if you raise it up a bit you can still enjoy the great music in this video.

[reticulan5]

The model craftsmanship is great,the only thing the effects crew should have done is shoot it outdoors.Nothing matches sunlight.With a real sky backround and gentle wind this would look so realistic.Pity the Blu-Ray release crops the top and bottom of the screen to fit the 16x9 aspect ratio tv's.

[dataflowc]

notice at 0:07 pod 3 has nothing to the left of it and at 0:24 it has pod 4 to the left of it, also the gap between pod 5 & 6 0:33 is so small it would catch TB2's wing 0:37 the gap is much wider.

[prausch65]

I remember this was mentioned during the broadcast on the old Tech TV channel.

[Coscaa]

Love the music @ 1:05!!

[prausch65]

Thunderbird 2 is the most awesome of the five vehicles..i like the music that accompanies it!!

[agenstmileyhaters]

Thunderbird 1 is my fav and the fastest

[prausch65]

It does have some cool vertical take off capabilities.

[Davidkevin]

Thunderbird 2 is so awesome *trees* move out of its way! (1:34)
