Trivia[]
- The album version of TB3 Takeoff differs from the film. On the album, at the moment Thunderbird 3 launches the International Rescue theme plays, however in the film itself this part is replaced by a rendition of the classic Thunderbirds theme.
- The main Thunderbirds theme is the only of Barry Gray's original themes to be heard in the film, and only occurs a handful of times - during the opening titles; Thunderbird 3's launch; when Alan, Tintin and Fermat become official members of International Rescue; and during the end credits (tracks 1, 8 (film version), 17 and 18 respectively).
- The classic Thunderbirds theme also briefly features as Jeff Tracy's ringtone near the end of the film.
