Space Patrol - From 1966 To NowPlanned in the early sixties, it took a great deal of time and money to get the production under way.The backing of a French TV Network was secured, and the series was off and running. The special effects were in turn very innovative and highly- laughable (offering a future with flat-irons as technical equipment and pencil-sharpeners as control knobs). In 1966 these things looked futuristic; nowadays they seem silly, but they still give the show its air of fun. The adventures of the Starship Orion were the first- and to date, only space opera project on German TV. There have apparently been several proposals to revive, continue or sequelize the series in the years since the series aired; all of these, sadly, have fallen through, but hope springs eternal. The last try were made by Roland Emmerich in 1996, but was dropped a year later. 
Nowadays"Space Patrol - The new series" is not in sight and because of the age of the actors there is not much chance, that they would play more than a subordinate if the series will really become reality. 
F.G.Beckhaus (Atan Shubashi) is still busy dubbing tv series. Since december 2000 a new "Making of" book brings enthusiasm to the ORION fans (reworked in 2005). Re-Start in July 2003: ORION back in cinema - a movie made of the old episodes. 88 minutes with some newscaster scenes added. The DVD (November 2003) has english subtitles! English Videos
Damn, I'm not drunk
There are videos
with english subtitles! But: they
are not official, so it's not easy to get them. Sometimes it can be bought
at ebay.The cover looks amateurish and the tape quality is not the best. The subtitles are very near to the german text - read fast or you'll miss something. Where do this videos come from? Nobody knows... Cover I, Cover II One of them is the ORION Starlight Info: Text by M.Höfler and D.Jones |
