Fridge Logic

Thunderbirds (TV series)

• The series is prone to it due to Tracy Island's continued secrecy and International Rescue's policy of not even allowing their aircraft to be photographed. The 2004 movie basically had to throw the latter idea out because in an era of mobile phone cameras it simply wouldn't be workable.
  • However, in an earlier script for the film that wasn't used anytime a camera was pointed at one of the Thunderbirds it would just stop working.

Thunderbirds (2004 film)

• On the subject of things requiring too much suspension of disbelief in 2004, did the movie address the matter of how International Rescue managed to operate in total secrecy without any of their craft ever being detected on launch, or indeed simply being tracked on the way back home?
  • I believe Bill Paxton did mention something about an "Anti-Detection Shield" or the like when Alan and Fermat accidently begin the launch sequence of TB 1.
