Yeah, I've seen it. I have the movies on tape. Frankly, I watched them once or twice and haven't watched them since.
When they translated the comic books into english back in the 1980s, I got them all. The quite translating them when the aircraft carrier on tank tracks driving across the desert (reall folks, I'm not making that up) showed up. I think I quit caring about the same time.
I heard that in the comic book, Shin Kazama does get back to Europe, kills the bad guy and hooks up with his girlfriend. But I've never seen the comic books past the English translations...

Hey Tom, Do you remember Fireball XL-5, Stingray and of course Thunderbirds, in Supermarination?!:shock:

[tom d. friedman]

You Got it, Tom! They were state of the art for the 60s. They, also, all had some very good story lines for a kids show. My son loves them.
