- Thunderbird_6 abstract "Thunderbird 6 is a 1968 British science-fiction adventure film written by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, directed by David Lane and produced by Century 21 Cinema. A sequel to 1966's Thunderbirds Are Go, it was the second film to be adapted from the 1960s television series Thunderbirds, which combined scale models and special effects with marionette puppet characters in a filming process that the Andersons termed "Supermarionation". Intended to provide a lighter-hearted cinematic experience to contrast with the harder science of Thunderbirds Are Go, the Andersons elected to base the plot of Thunderbird 6 on Skyship One, a futuristic airship that is the latest project of the scientist Brains.Alan, Tin-Tin, Lady Penelope and Parker represent International Rescue on Skyship One's round-the-world maiden flight, unaware that criminal mastermind The Hood is once again plotting to acquire the secrets of the Thunderbird machines. Paid agents of The Hood murder the original crew of Skyship One prior to take-off and assume their identities, entertaining the guests while scheming to lure the Tracy brothers into a trap. Meanwhile, Brains' efforts to produce a satisfactory design concept for Jeff's proposed Thunderbird 6 collide with fate when Skyship One is damaged and Alan's old Tiger Moth biplane appears to be the only hope of saving the International Rescue group and their impostor hosts.Actors John Carson and Geoffrey Keen provide guest speaking roles, with additions to the regular voice cast in the form of Keith Alexander and Gary Files. The design of the puppets that appear in Thunderbird 6 marks a transition between the caricatures that Century 21 had used up to Thunderbirds Are Go and the realism introduced i Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. Filming ran from May to December 1967, and the art and special effects departments collaborated to realise Skyship One as both a miniature model and a collection of themed interior designs. A number of sequences of the Tiger Moth in flight were filmed on location with a full-sized stunt plane, but a legal dispute with the Ministry of Transport regarding alleged dangerous flying by pilot Joan Hughes forced the production team to film the remaining shots in-studio with scale replicas.Released in July 1968, Thunderbird 6 had a mediocre reception at the box office, which ruled out the production of further sequels in the Thunderbirds film series. Critical response has remained mixed: although the special effects have been praised, commentators are divided on the quality of the plotting, which is considered either well-paced and concluding on a note of high action, or confusing and inordinately long, with little visual spectacle to contrast with the dialogue. Nevertheless, Thunderbird 6 is viewed favourably in comparison to Jonathan Frakes' 2004 film adaptation, receiving praise for the perceived agelessness of its entertainment value.".

- Thunderbird_6 quote "A metaphor for Thunderbirds's decline may be found in the fact that in the very first episode, we see a supersonic, atomic aircraft hurtling along a runway, and in the final outing for International Rescue, we watch a biplane chugging along a motorway.".
- Thunderbird_6 quote "It was felt that we'd done the one with the hardware and that now we wanted to do something amusing. Out came this script with a Tiger Moth in it, which was as far removed from the hardware that was in Thunderbirds as anything I can think of.".
- Thunderbird_6 quote "The second Thunderbirds movie is not that different from the original 1966 offering — bald bad guy The Hood's up to no good, lots of stuff gets blown up, the Tracy brothers scramble to save the world and, yet again, we don't get to see anywhere near enough of the very cool Thunderbird 2.".
- Thunderbird_6 quote "When we applied for permission to [record the Tiger Moth flying under the bridge] from the Ministry of Civil Aviation, we were told that the Tiger should not fly under the bridge, but had to touch its wheels down and then taxi under the bridge, tail up. In the event, Joan was carrying dummies of the puppets strapped to the wings and she was barely able to maintain flying speed. As she approached the bridge, she was caught in a crosswind and the aircraft began to crab.".
