Mullion leaving with his two henchmen -
:32:06
two very, very patient stuntmen
who were with us throughout the picture.

:32:12
Big crane shots. Beautiful set.
This is one of our biggest sets at Pinewood.

:32:19
John Beard again -
not afraid of scale, colour, size...

:32:26
We were lucky enough to get the crane in here
so you can get some extreme angles.

:32:33
Now here's a missed shot.
:32:36
The reference is two ships
that we never see in a clean shot.

:32:41
By the time we realised that,
the Firefly and the Thunderizer had been...

:32:46
Actually, the set had been torn down, so...
:32:50
But here we introduced them.
:32:57
This is one of the great aspirational sections
of the picture

:33:01
where our three heroes take over
these fabulous bits of kit that actually work.

:33:06
Inside this Firefly there is a driver hidden
:33:10
who's driving off of a video screen.
:33:13
There's a camera in the front of the Firefly
that can see where he's going

:33:19
and there's a guy lying on his stomach
at the controls

:33:23
watching a videoscreen, choreographing
his movements around the Thunderizer,

:33:28
which also has a driver hidden inside
behind where Alan's sitting.

:33:34
There's a great gag.
:33:37
6,000 gallons of dyed green foam
:33:43
that actually was projected from the Firefly.
:33:48
A great credit to Paul Corbould
and his special effects team

:33:52
as well as coordinated with Paul Jennings,
our stunt coordinator.

:33:57
To make that work, they rehearsed it
and rehearsed it, showed it to me on videotape
