THUNDERBIRDS teaser trailer description!
Harry here.... Hmmmm, trailer sounds a tad on the cheesy side, but since they seem to be aiming for High Camp with THUNDERBIRDS, that might work for them. I just want to see that big ol Thunderbird ship land. Hmmmm... Here ya go...
Hi Harry
Max Caddyshack here. Saw a preview of The Hulk, a month before it comes
out in the UK. Just want to say, how great the film was. I was blown
away by the comic book panel inspired editing, the fight against the
mutant dogs (reminded me of Kong vs T-Rex), the fight with the tanks and
helicopters and the Hulk leaping from peak to peak. Anyway, could go on,
but the film wll sell itself. Ang Lee is a genius and ILM are well and
truly back.
What really surprised me as well, was before the film, we saw the
teaser for Thunderbirds. On scren we see in Hulk font "Its huge",
then"Its Green", then out of nowhere the main Thunderbirds ship comes
out of the sky and lands outside Parliament Square, in front of the
Houses of Parliament. This was done over Thin Lizzy's "Boys are back in
town", then said coming next summer.
What was unusal was the cheering from the crowd, this doesn't happen as
often for films/trailersK than in the US. Jonanthan Frakes looks like
he's onto a winner here. The ship looked exactly as I remembered it and
seeing it land outside such a well known London landmark did not look
cheesy at all.
Respect as always from the UK massive.

Thunderbird 1 was the 'main' one, it was the rocket shaped one. The green one was Thunderbird 2! That said, T-bird 2 was everyone's favourite :-)

I want to see a live action STINGRAY. Marina. Aqua-Marina. What is this strange and . . . er . . . Bye.

I saw the Hulk yesterday as well, the first screening, and there wasn't any applause from us...maybe we were unhappier souls than the second screening audience (who were probably drunk from drinking in the sun anyway)but it looked like any teaser trailer rushed out to run with summer blockbusters - Ropey. Their were more laughs of derision than anything else...

Bartlebee, do you not remember the slight cheering that greeted the Thunderbirds teaser? After all, I was sitting just two seats along from you. You must remember. The Hulk? Didn't rock my world, but still better than I had hoped for. If that makes any sense. Like Spider-Man, you sense this is a character - and effect - that will be served in future movies. So come on Yank AICNers, get out there and make this movie a $200 million smash!

... the one thing I couldn't convince myself to suspend my disbelief over was John Tracy. Remember him. He's the one who lives all alone on Thunderbird 5 the Space Station, poor guy. It's amazing he never went insane or was busted by his dad on the monitor wacking off, surrounded by soiled tissues and drooling over pics of Lady Penelope. Any young man stranded orbiting the earth would go down that route sooner or later. Sinner.

I would love to see a 30-45 second trailer in the same format as the beginning of the show Lightning crashes, 5..4..3..2..1 , the great music and 30 seconds of things exploding and crashing. I loved this bit as a kid it really got you excited for the rest of the show. But will it happen - unlikely. All the lawyers, accountants, marketing people who control the "product" etc. probably will think it a crap idea. They just dont get it do they?

What fucking trailer doesn't have Thin Lizzy's "The Boys Are Bac
by mortsleam
It was humorous for half a second in the Toy Story 2 spots, but Jesus give it a rest. That song in previews for movies like Hollywood Homicide just let me know I needn't bother wasting my time. That said, "It's Big...It's Green..." pretty funny. Bill Pullman's gigantic chin smash puny audience expectations!

You Mean the Trailer DIDN'T Feature The T-Birds in Their Fruity
by hipcheck13
Hell, you want to make this flick interesting, make it a "fight to the finish" with the puppet Thunderbirds vs. The L.A. Thunderbirds rollerskating team (remember them?).
-
I never saw Thunderbirds, but I did see the one with the mermaid, Marina. I seem to remember it being in the same time slot with a navy-related cartoon that was so cheaply done, the dialogue scenes were static drawings with people's real lips super-imposed. Chicago-area TV from 5-7 AM back in the day, we hardly knew ye. When are they going to do that blockbuster movie version of "Gigglesnort Hotel", anyway?
-
I remember watching this as a child and thinking Tin-Tin was immeasurably cool. Much cooler than Lady Penelope, I thought. She never blabbed incessantly, nor made a fool of herself and most impressively, was always a part of the top-secret meetings with the guys. Now years later, I'm like, So that's why, she was a *secretary*.

What in the name of ZombieChrist are the Thunderbirds???????
by zombiechrist
I've been reading the stories about the Tbirds and I can't help wondering: what the fuck are the Thunderturds? Who is Lady Penelope? Why does anyone give a shit?? Okay, okay... I'm not a complete nincompoop (I'm just an undead messiah, thus a bit slow) so I gather that this is some British TV show from the 60s or something and it involved wooden puppets. But who were the Thunderbirds, what did they do, why were they named after an American car, what was Lady Penelope's role, why do you like the show, why are they making a movie, etc. Can anyone answer these questions?
