Wissenswertes
Following filming of a flying stunt on M40 motorway in Buckinghamshire (which was newly completed but not yet open to traffic) Joan Hughes (pilot of the Tiger Moth) was charged but later acquitted of seven counts of dangerous flying when the 'plane failed to make contact with the surface of the while passing under a bridge. A crosswind had prevented Hughes from landing the plane on the road before passing under the bridge as stipulated as a condition of permission to use the location. Norman Foster (who supervised the shooting of this scene) was also charged but acquitted of three counts of aiding and abetting. In addition to the court case filming permission was revoked immediately, leading to the sequence being completed with a miniature set of the site and the model aircraft used for other flying sequences.

Patzer
At the time that "Thunderbird 6" was being filmed, the Sydney Opera House was under construction. Construction work could be seen during the shot of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, despite the fact that the movie was set in 2068 (many, many years since the Sydney Opera House was opened). While this probably is an oversight as the Opera House was not completed in real life, it is also possible that it was simply being renovated.

Zitate
Jeff Tracy: Now, let's have a rundown on the International Rescue craft. So far, there are five. Thunderbird 1: sleek, first and fast. Thunderbird 2: giant transporter. Carries all the rescue gear to the danger zone. Thunderbird 3: designed for space rescue. Thunderbird 4: capable of withstanding the pressure of the depths. Thunderbird 5: space monitor. Capable of receiving or intercepting distress calls from any part of the world. And I'm telling you, Brains, in no uncertain terms, that we now need a Thunderbird 6.
Brains: Sure, Mr Tracy, but can you give me some sort of a steer? I like to work to a specification.
Jeff Tracy: Specification? You didn't need to work to a specification when you designed that airship for the New World Aircraft Corporation.
Brains: That's right. I didn't. And what happened? They laughed.
Jeff Tracy: Yeah, that's right. They laughed... and then they built it.

Better than Hollywood

Yeah it's definitely cheesy and the marionettes are so lifelike they're creepy, especially when they're laughing maniacally in the beginning, but the creativity and realism are fantastic. The plot is unique, the acting is top knotch and the story is an interesting one. This movie and the original shows by Gerry Anderson are LEAGUES above the dreck that Hollywood has put out over the last 10 years. (Especially the remake. Geesh, what a mess that was) Imagining the actual work involved in making this movie and the shows is mind-boggling and showed true artistry and creativity which is sorely lacking today.
