Directed by: Jonathan Frakes

Revealing mistake: When Thunderbird 3 lands in London, the jets do not burn the grass they land on.
Revealing mistake: When the kids run away from the crooks on Tracey Island they roll down a hill into a lagoon or so. Look carefully and you can see the persons rolling down the hill are adult stand-ins.
Factual error: As the Hood approaches central London in Thunderbird 2, they fly through Tower Bridge and over HMS Belfast, approaching from the East. However the onboard display in Thunderbird 1 shows TB2 approaching from the West, somewhere over Hammersmith.
Lady Penelope: Oh, and England won the footbal last night.
Parker: YES! EN-GER-LAND.
Trivia: Director Jonathan Frakes has a cameo role as a policeman at the end of the movie.
Question: Was Patrick Stewart ever considered or asked to play the role of The Hood? Considering his Star Trek connection with director Jonathan Frakes, it would have seemed like an ideal piece of casting.
Answer: I did hear that Patrick Stewart was on the short list of actors to play the role, but he was in demand of both stage and film. He may have been doing X2 at the time.
