* In Vault of Death, Scot and Virgil can't cut into the vault door, and the only key is too far away. They go into the subway to cut through the wall instead. Meanwhile Parker, outside the vault, asks lady Penelope for a Hairpin. In the time it takes Scot and Virgil to cut in, Parker manages to unlock the state of the art door using ''nothing except that one hairpin''

--> Scott (when a fuse blows on Tracy Island): I'm sure Gordon will fix that. Remember what he said after the Fireflash incident? It was just like fixing a fuse.

* Fireflash's landing in the pilot episode. Who saw that method of rescue coming?

* And [[AwesomeMusic Busted's theme for the movie]]- ''Now the lid's about to blow, when the Thunderbirds are GO!''

** This moment during the climax made it impossible for [[Troper/HudsonHawk this troper]] to hate this movie. A very nice moment that shows that Alan gained the maturity necessary during his adventure [[spoiler: to join International Rescue at the end of the film.]]
