1:07:02
since the picture was set in the future
1:07:05
and we assume the Olympics
will be in London,
1:07:08
the Olympic Monorail was created
inside the computer at Framestore.
1:07:13
And that was where the MacGuffin occurred.
1:07:18
So The Hood recklessly puts lives in jeopardy
1:07:24
and fortunately for them,
1:07:27
the new Thunderbirds
are just arriving on the scene.
1:07:32
There were two or three Sunday mornings
where these plate shots,
1:07:36
exterior shots of London, were done.
1:07:38
Sunday, obviously, the least crowded
and least complicated day to shoot
1:07:44
because not as many people are at work
1:07:47
or not as many tourists are at the Jubilee Gardens.
1:07:50
Nonetheless, it wasn't the easiest shoot,
and the weather didn't cooperate.
1:07:55
Most of the shots you see of London
in this end sequence
1:07:58
had the skies replaced with
glorious blue skies from elsewhere.
1:08:03
Here we are inside the Bank of London.
1:08:07
Get a load of that pink headpiece.
1:08:12
Here are shots stolen straight from Apollo as well.
ECU of the G-forces.
1:08:19
Not many shots of England from space.
There was one.
1:08:24
The theme of the movie restated.
1:08:27
As you can see, the big green megalith,
1:08:30
the workhorse - Thunderbird 2.
1:08:37
So our kids have flown Thunderbird 1
and Thunderbird 2.
1:08:41
The monorail crashes into the water,
1:08:43
another combination of a model shoot,
a shoot in the tank at Pinewood
1:08:48
with the practical stanchion,
1:08:49
and then an interior of the monorail
shot onstage with water seeping into it.
1:08:57
A very, very patient group of extras
who were on our monorail.
