Before the film was released in the UK, it was described as a new science fiction film featuring Alec Guinness and "The Green Cross Code Man" David Prowse. At the time, in a piece of history that would repeat itself, Prowse was playing a good character in a series of Road Safety adverts aimed at children to help them safely cross the road. In later Green Cross adverts, his Bristol accent was dubbed over, as in Star Wars. In something else, that may or may not have been a deliberate coincidence, as the same crews worked on both feature films and advertising, in the UK, the Green Cross costume design looks similar to a green version of Darth Vader's cape, and in one Green Cross advert, he has a robot sidekick that looks like an R2-D2 alternate design. The Green Cross Code adverts (aka Public Information Films) can be found online in the usual video uploading websites.
