What I don't understand is the need to do it now,       as compared to when they shot the original film.              When they cut the power to the train in the original film, for example,       all you heard was the click of the relays. That indeed was what it       sounded like.              And yes, I was absolutely shocked at the sound effects that they added       in the film's latest incarnation.              >> Command Center was also laughable as a high-tech centre, when in reality       >> it would not surprise me if very little has changed since the proper       >> film came out in 1974.       >       > It would be nice if they offered a tour of the new Command Center, but given       attitudes today, I'm not holding my breath.              Oh, I know. I would love to see Aldwych station here in London, but the       Health and Safety Executive for England and Wales would likely go mental       if that happened today.
