Thunderbirds Ratings & Reviews

RichardOctober 18, 2025
Saw this one as a kid on TV. Marionettes with serious missions, countdowns that gave goosebumps and vehicles that looked like they came straight from a toy catalog. International Rescue wasn’t just cool, it felt important. Thunderbird 2 was the star, obviously. That green beast dropping pods like it was delivering justice. Lady Penelope and Parker added class and chaos. Brains was the nerd we all rooted for. The puppets were stiff, but the action was wild. Explosions, rescues and that theme music, pure adrenaline.
