This was in fact the third theatrical release based upon the series created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson. It was preceded by ''Thunderbirds Are Go'' in 1966 and ''Thunderbird 6'' in 1968, both films using the Supermarionation production techniques of the series.

''Thunderbirds'' was dedicated to the memory of [[Stephen Lowen]], a film crew member who died in an accident on the set. Stephen Lowen is credited as a rigger on the film.

Timed to coincide with the theatrical release of ''Thunderbirds'', the two prior films were released on DVD. The DVD versions of all three films include a number of extra features, including historical and production information.

Coincidentally, 2004 was also the year Team America was released. Team America borrowed heavily from ''Thunderbirds'' and Supermarionation.
