Thunderbirds (1965 - supermarionation)

[retrophil06]

if you liked the movie "Team America: World Police" ,you just may like Thunderbirds. It was released in 1965, but pretty cool still

Big fan here. My kid can't seem to get into it though [:(] I also have the Captain Scarlett, Fireball XL5 and Secret Service boxsets. What did you think of the live action film they made with Bill Paxton? I thought it was fun and was glad they didn't redesign the ships.

Mr. Shovelbum is a huge fan, too.

He'll be relieved to hear he's not the only one. [;)]

Im also a big fan of them, I specially like episodes no. 24 (Attack of the alligators), no.25 (The Cham-cham) and no.31 (Ricochet). I enjoy watching Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlett episodes since they have so many odd details and gadgets... it's interesting to see how things from the 60's and the future (sometimes our present) were mixed.

By the way, does anyone have the 1966 "Thunderbirds Are Go" film or know if it is available somewhere?

[MARV]

Yeah, I have that. I have this box set:

That's a good price.

Thanks for the info, Marv. Last year I read "Thunderbirds Are Go" wouldn't be released on DVD for the time being, it's great to see it wasn't true.
