Customer Reviews
Thunderbirds Are Go!
For any one who grew up watching the Thunderbirds (A.K.A. "International Rescue") this is sure to be a treat. Once again you can visit some of the magic of childhood while watching some pretty good innovative techniques & explosions - considering this was done in the 60s.Join Scott, Virgil, John, Gordon, Alan & Brains as they fight evil and rescue hapless victims from the clutches of Hood!

The Invasion has begun!
I can't tell you how many school chairs were broken in the mid-60's because boys like me were "switching to horizontal flight" like Scott Tracy in Thunderbird 1! In Britain and Japan, Thunderbirds is a 35 year-old fascination. They now enjoy cult status and, as far as this reviewer is concerned, the American Invasion is about to begin! Okay, it's a puppet show - and they're heads aren't quite in proportion to the rest of their body but - man - dig those crazy gadgets! The first batch of James Bond movies were at their zenith at the time that Gerry and Sylvia Anderson produced this series, and it shows (Scott Tracy's head was rumored to have been modelled on Sean Connery's!). The scripts and situations are fantastic, the action thrilling and, like one of Jeff Tracy's cigars, they've matured with age. For those who prefer something more realistic, check out the reissue of "Space 1999." THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO!
