I've seen it claimed there are production pictures of the cast resting between takes with the tops of the silver costumes off because of heat, resting against angled boards because they were too stiff to sit in comfortably. Adding the vest and helmet must have made it almost unendurable.
I`m just watching the 1998 movie right at the moment and one more for the "not a spacesuit but.." would be the suits briefly featured on the alien derelict http://digitalvideo.8m.net/Orion/lostspace.jpg http://www.uncleodiescollectibles.com/img_lib/William%20Hurt%20Derelict%20Spacesuit%2003%2012-24-11.jpg
They used these spacesuits on many films afterwards. I remember even the Osmond brothers wearing them while singing a song on one of their shows. Then a kid show in the 90's. Fox used them on other films and TV as well.
Cheers Rick, I think one of them pops up in the Star Wars Cantina if memory serves. If you find the names of specific shows, episode Ill see if I can pull together a gallery
I guess if they needed Tin-Foil for the dinner casserole on the Jupiter 9, they knew where to get it.
ReplyDeleteCasserole was a pill on the Jupiter 2 wasn't it? Been ages since I watched an episode.

DeleteLater seasons had different, lighter costumes.
