MOON ZERO TWO was one of the coolest films I saw as a kid in the 60's, just as the decade was fading and turning into the 1970's. I remember the distinctive theme music with the slightly screechy MOON ZERO TWO chorus. One scene scared me to death, where a astronaut trurned round to reveal a skull in the helmet! Cripes! I'd forgotten a lot of the detail but having read up a bit there's a lunar base called Farside 5 and even a Moon Ferry, which I'd love to see close up! Comparisons have been made with UFO and Space 1999. Why oh why don't they show iconic films like this on UK TV instead of the usual pap we get!David Sisson, modelmaker, has put together a brilliant fan site for the film and an online feature about the film's spacesuits . Here you can see the above-mentioned "skull" shot and the brilliant MOON FARGO moon buggy, which reminds me of the SWORD ANT and Corgi's LUNAR BUG. Cool.
