There is a monitor on the display screen which exhibits the F4 ship coming in, and since there was no time for put up [production], every part on that set was just about in-camera… You might go anyplace, and even the display screen they needed to shoot. And everyone was approaching, the Marvel guys had been approaching, and the actors had been approaching, they usually had been nearly saying, ‘effectively, that is the primary time we have been on a Marvel set the place every part is in-camera.’ They had been so used to having ‘oh, we’ll put the blue on the display screen,’ ‘we will put the ship in later.'”
