Love this pilot film from Gerry Anderson- heard about it as a kid and was obsessed with it! Didn’t see it till early 2000’s! By 2018 owned several original props including puppets! Today own loads of original props, puppets and costumes from the pilot- my dream come true! 😁👍👍
I always remembered Space Precinct as a kid. Never seen this before now. Although the storyline seems better in this, Space Precinct was much better in terms of FX, puppetry, and acting.
Brilliant: so much better than the series it eventually became. Though I'm sure that International Rescue would have stopped that monorail long before Space Police did ...
Yeah , space precinct looked like it was aimed at kids, whereas this is dark and gritty....exactly what space precinct should have been...in fact I seem to recall that Ted Shackelford was pissed because he signed up for SP on the premise that it would be aimed at adults
A point of order. Apache names stranger. Oftentimes on the plane's strangers were bad news. So if you were meeting indians and you didn't know them , you were all apache to each other. Until you broke bread, got drunk.Had a good time.And they decide whether or not your good time.Was there good time. If they were all going in the morning your good time was not a good time for them.
A missed opportunity. It had everything Space Precinct missed and more in spite of being made years earlier. And it has puppets and cool craft. Minus a Haldane to make the viewer cringe. So one only has to forgive the rather awkward use of the special alien powers as a plot device and the furry bits. 🤩
i don't believe so. the first couple minutes were better and made me thinking it would continue to keep it's pace but nah typical thunderbirds snoozefest

This is so underrated. Brilliant storyline and imagery. Pity it didn’t become a series
it did in a way, gerry anderson made 'space precinct' aswell, its here on youtube somewhere...

@@dredd1981but it’s not aimed at kids. It’s a serious police drama.
So bad it's good! Just stopped by for a quick look, ended up watching the entire thing - i was completely hooked!
Thanks for the upload 😊
At 2:11 you can see the hand of the FX guy chucking the model onto the set!
Shane Rimmer is wonderful. Scott from Thunderbird 1 was enough for iconic status.
Should have taken the monorail to Hyderabad.
This movie predicted video billboards!
Blade runner?
@@chrissharp6733 so true

Space police base on gyaban
If we had that as an adaption series, that would be amazing! 😊👍❤💖
It's life suckng. Did this make it beyond a pilot?
i don't believe so. the first couple minutes were better and made me thinking it would continue to keep it's pace but nah typical thunderbirds snoozefest
So SPA means what exactly?
Space Police Affirmative
This was a potential pilot from 86 which turned into space precinct in 94.
