  4. Funny, this is the famous first goof scene where the throwing astronaut's visor flips open just after throwing him. Looks like they had at least 4 takes to choose from but still the glaring mistake remained.

  5. I hate it when books and online articles mention that 1999 was made between 1975-77.When it was made from 1973-76.I love all Gerry Anderson stuff except Terrahawks.I'm also a fan of Irwin Allen series not the disaster movies.
    I cannot stand any new show and refuse to watch it.Give me large scale miniatures over shitty C.G.I any day.
