[edit] Crappy Intro

Removed this line because it seems superfluous and... crappy.

There is extensive use of computer-generated imagery to create the illusion that the Thunderbirds, the fantastic machines which give the name to the production, are real. --76.104.205.73 08:10, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] See Also

There's a see also link to Team America at the bottom of this page. Not sure why it should be there without a single piece of explanation. I personally equate the two because Team America came out around the same time and Team America featured the marionette stuff we all remember from old school Thunderbirds. Abrynkus 01:38, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Presumably because the 'Team America' guys reportedly wanted to make a Thunderbirds movie with puppets, but couldn't get the rights because this version was in pre-production? Mark Grant 02:26, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Possiblly a prequel

After reading all the critisims of the move, including that Alan is already a Thinderbird in the original and that The Hood already is a villian and knows about the Thunderbirds in the original. It seems that is is most likely the updated movie is a prequel to the original series. Can anybody verify this? 70.108.48.238 01:16, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Corbet thunderbirds.jpg

Image:Corbet thunderbirds.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 21:30, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Differences with the original

Never has a section needed a rewrite so badly, but I wonder whether it shouldn't be deleted altogether. Thoughts? (GLG 6/15/07)

No. Each can stand on its own, yet are based on the same concept, so it's necessary to explain the differences. Critic-at-Arms 19:02, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] who the hell is stephen lowen

as the movie ends it ead dedicated to the memory of stephen lowen, i dont know who that is or if i should mention it in the article

[edit] Recent vandalism

I just reverted an edit done by 72.24.175.128 which was done purely as vandalism. I also edited out a link to space station as everywhere else in the article Thunderbird 5 is referred to as Thunderbird 5 and not simply a space station. Doctoroxenbriery 21:34, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
