According to Tony Shalhoub, the reason Fred is always so chill is that he's completely stoned through the whole film. There are several clues throughout the film. He's always got the munchies, for one. Another is his fascination with the cleanliness of the floors. When his "pod" arrives a bit after the others, you can see a puff of smoke escape as the goo falls away from his body, indicating that he'd been toking during the ride. Another great thing about his character is that he got so used to pretending to be Asian on the show that now when the aliens gasp "Tech Sergeant Chen!" he _narrows his eyes._ A great little character beat that not many people catch. All of this came not from the script, but from the actor himself. Tony was cast because the director realized the character was thinly written, and Tony is known for coming up with wonderful stuff to flesh out his roles. (The first day of rehearsal, he showed up with a greasy paper bag, saying, "I think my character is in this bag.") :)

[@tracyfrazier7440]

I read that there was a scene cut from the final with Tony actually smoking weed at the water cooler while the others were being transported.

[@lauracontino269]

I love that 😂thanks for posting this trivia… Shalhoub is s genius

[@Sowde38]

And during the meal he's using chopsticks

[@jroldo8353]

.... Tech Sergeant CHEN. HOLY SHIT.

[@shallowgal462]

To be fair, when Tim Allen's goo dissolved at his pool there was smoke too, so. . .

[@astroworfcraig9164]

Not a spoof, not a parody, but an homage. When this was released, there didn't seem to be a lot of promotion. A fellow Trek fan and I went on a whim and were delighted.

[@edmunddantes7097]

The premise seems pretty silly and it's hard to describe how good it is to someone who hasn't seen it. Such an underrated gem.

[@d3l3tes00n]

Snowday came out the same weekend & sold out, so this was totally pushed to the side.

[@betazette]

Yes it is an homage! I couldn’t think of a better word, but that’s it. ❤

[@TheFrosty1994]

Watched this on my anniversary w/ my now long ex-girlfriend on a whim. I remember seeing a promo for it somewhere and thought, Tim Allen and space? I'm in! Pleasantly surprised!

[@jyesucevitz]

it is a spoof, satire and a parody. it even calls out toxic and over the top fans at scifi conventions. I wouldn't call that deep respect or praise. which is what an homage is.

[@lisathuban8969]

This has been called a "perfect script" because of the balance of comedy and drama. It's definitely a classic.

[@mikedignum1868]

Sigourney Weaver liked her blond wig so much that she took it after the film was finished. This is a love letter to Star Trek fans and one of the best ST films.

[@secondchance6603]

A fine damn woman if ever there was one, especially here.

[@Serai3]

Which one? There are two. The long one she wore during the "original" show, and the shorter bob she wears during the majority of the film.

[@zooks527]

13:03 - Sam Rockwell's scream was ad-libbed and Sigourney Weaver's reaction is real. 41:19 - "Guy Fleegman" was a shout-out to Guy Vardaman, a long time stand-in and extra on Star Trek: The Next Generation. He didn't know anything about it until he saw the movie in the theater, and says he nearly fell out of his seat. Patrick Stewart (Captain Picard on ST:TNG) had this to say: "I had originally not wanted to see [Galaxy Quest] because I heard that it was making fun of Star Trek and then Jonathan Frakes rang me up and said ‘You must not miss this movie! See it on a Saturday night in a full theatre.’ And I did and of course I found it was brilliant. Brilliant. No one laughed louder or longer in the cinema than I did, but the idea that the ship was saved and all of our heroes in that movie were saved simply by the fact that there were fans who did understand the scientific principles on which the ship worked was absolutely wonderful. And it was both funny and also touching in that it paid tribute to the dedication of these fans."

[@Serai3]

I saw it on its first run, and I remember at the end when the camera panned up over the bowing actors and settle on that shot of the sea of cheering fans, I burst into tears. I'd never seen us presented that way before, with so much love and connection, by filmmakers who were clearly fans themselves. It still gets to me whenever I see it. :`)

[@ivka4762]

You know what the saddest part is? Alan's speech at the mirror is actually kind of true. Alan Rickman has done dozens of great character roles, but most people only remember him as Snape from Harry Potter.

[@sp72929]

As a Star Trek fan and seeing Spaceballs before I was more than reluctant to see this movie and actually loving Alan Rickman made me give it a shot and … it’s hilariously brilliant. It a fantastic comedy without making fun of the genre or the fans. That’s the reason why it’s considered by fans as one of the best “Star Trek”movies and a “love letter to fans”.

[@mikejankowski6321]

Yeah, but I wasn't the least bit reluctant. I figured I was in for a good time and was not disappointed.

Its odd, I've never seen reactors catch on to this, although I thought it was so obvious

[@michaelwoods3651]

It’s obvious to stoners! 😂

[@leewesley1961]

he is so stoned you can tell when he enjoyed being beamed on to the ship

[@TheGeekandI]

I was managing a movie theater in 1999 when this movie was released. We had a gentleman come in everyday for the matinee show. I finally asked him why he came in everyday. It turns out he was the grandfather of the guy who played Tommy Webber and was super proud of his grandson. Also, the original cut of the movie received an R rating. The studio thought is was so good that they cut some scenes and toned down the language to get a PG for a younger audience. That's why at the end Sigourney looks like she dropped an F bomb.

[@carlosrvra]

Guy was the only one NOT killed when Saron was shooting everyone on the Command Deck. Very fun attention to detail. Can’t speak enough about how great this movie is.

[@tbessie]

"Sarris" - supposedly that was an inside joke, as there's a well-known movie critic, Andrew Sarris, they were poking fun at.

[@mconnors1733]

Yep. Guy just stands there screaming as Sarris shoots everyone else

[@billross7245]

The aliens look like octopi, clap like dophins, and sort of sound like seals when they laugh. It's a great movie on its own, even better with some familiarity with classic Trek.

[@SirPaladin]

They cut this from PG-13 down to PG so it could show in more theaters. Fred (Tony Shalhoub) is CLEARLY high as a kite the entire time but in this cut it's just never mentioned.

[@garyedwardgray7549]

It’s also why you can clearly see Sigourney Weaver say, “F*** that!” when you hear her say “Screw that!”

[@bobbuethe1477]

Mathesar was played by Enrico Colantoni, who's been a regular on several TV shows. He played a somewhat nerdy fashion photographer in "Just Shoot Me," a tough PI with a headstrong daughter in "Veronica Mars," a cold-blooded mob boss in "Person of Interest," and the leader of a SWAT team in "Flashpoint." A fine actor with an impressive range.

[@FireMunki63]

Literally one of my favourite films. The fact that actors of the quality of Alan Rickman and Sigourney Weaver can laugh at themselves like this just underscores their quality. Its infinitely rewatchable. So glad you took the time to watch it.

[@jaydigshistory36]

The Thermian actors had to attend an “Alien School” where they had to develop how to walk talk and add mannerisms.

[@michellewhittaker3448]

The scene where they were beamed up and Sam rockwells character screamed, that was improvised and you can see sigourney’s character actually flinch in the background. This is one of my 2 favorite movies and definitely watch it at least once a year

[@justjasyn292]

Great reaction guys! I also laughed so hard at Cam gagging and i feel bad for laughing but ita hilarious. Forgive me Cam 😂

[@davidmoore1264]

Same!

[@anathardayaldar]

Yet when Cam reacted to Saving Private Ryan, he didn't seem bothered by those guts.

[@johnmaynardable]

As a huge Star Trek fan I thought that this movie was a riot. I watched the series every week when it first aired. I continued to watch it in reruns. This movie plays with so many of the questions that every trekkie had. I've watched every series that sprang from the original. My dad took me to meet Leonard Nimoy when he came to make a speech in Orlando. I have always loved Star Trek. And yes this is definitely a spoof of Star Trek. As a professional actor I have worked on Monk and Veronica Mars. I had great personal experiences with Tony Shalhoub and Enrico Colantoni. They are both wonderful people.

[@marylandwehr1666]

The kid is 21 year old Justin Long and this was his first movie.

[@jerrykessler2478]

The whole bridge set was built on a gimbal so it would move to avoid the shaky camera and all the actors having to fall in the same direction.

[@Teeklin]

I'm so glad that you guys loved Enrico Colantoni so much in this movie. It's honestly one of the best comedy performances in film ever. Imagine an actor seeing, "You are our last hope." on the script and somehow transforming those simple words into a delivery like that? Or getting poked in the stomach and deciding to respond with that noise and facial expression. And he does it with every line, so many little choices that end up being hilarious. Eventually you guys should check out Veronica Mars if only for him. But also because it's amazing and hilarious!

[@sharpeslass5452]

I'm so in love with him,

[@DelGuy03]

Seeing this in a theater was a special thrill -- I hope it gets shown at one of those special cinema events sometime. The screen ratio changed TWICE: we started off in old-style TV 4:3, then it went to standard screen ratio as the TV screening ended, then when the doors opened and Tim Allen saw he was standing on the edge of infinite space it widened yet more. You mentioned recognizing Justin Long from Dodgeball. There's another Dodgeball cast member in this! -- Missi Pyle, who played the "Jane Doe" alien who returned with Fred, played the Slavic dodgeball opponent with the unibrow. Both roles disguise her real-life blonde look, which can be seen in movies like Gone Girl.

[@PictureHouseCinema]

Cam gagging on the inside out alien was excellent, what a reaction. It shows how well they pulled off that scene with bits of the alien stuck to everything. It is an excellent film, one of the best 90s movies.

[@toodlescae]

Zay's face when the little space miners went all teeth was hilarious. 😂 As a fan of the original Star Trek, TNG, DS9 and Voyager, I love this movie. It honors the franchise and it's a love letter to fandoms.

[@browniewin4121]

I love this movie. I've seen it many times over the years since it came out and find it delightful each and every time. It really is a loving homage to Star Trek

[@phoenixfire124]

So many great things with this movie. It was a love letter to fandoms. Sigourney Weaver had a moment where she clearly says "f*** that!", but what you hear is "screw that!". It was the director's little FU to the people wanting to trun it into a kids movie. There is also a moment where all of a sudden and for no reason she had the zipper of her outfot down and boobs out. There was a deleted scene where she tried to zeduce the alien. The way the aliens move and talk qas apparently the brain child of the lead alien actor. He did something like it in his audition and the director loved it so much he had them all like that. Fred (the guy with the mun hirs is supposed the be high. I think they took it out to make the movie more kid friendly. When Guy says, "is there air? You don't know!"... the original script didn't have the crew doing any checks when they landed. Tim (captain) was really into the role and argued hadd for it. The powers that be said no. So the next take they did, Sam improved that line. When the captain had to tell the head alien they lied, after a couple of takes Tim Allen had to take a break because it was so overwhelming. Alan Rickman (yes he was Snape) quipped, " Oh, my God! Hes experiencing actung for the first time."

[@BKPrice]

A fun little gag would have been to have actors mouth obscenities from time to time and dub them over. The actors would notice (it would be played off like real time dubbing), and would find out it was part of the alien conversion of the TV show: television friendly censorship.

[@ForEternia]

​@BKPrice It's interesting you mention this. I own the DVD and in the extras you can choose a dubbed track where everyone in the movie is speaking in the alien language.

[@captainnerd6452]

They had to re-dub it in order to get a PG-13 rating instead of an R rating, the censors at the ratings board were adamant about it.

[@rendalconstantineau1680]

as for the effects, remember, this was more than 20 years ago, for the technology of the time, these were pretty darn good effects with a blend of practical, editing, and the cgi of the time.

[@jeanine6328]

Oh my, thank you so much for doing this one! It’s one if my favorite movies. I can’t wait to see this, this movie is right up you’re alley. Ok, did you notice when everyone was being shot, Guy was the only one of the crew that didn’t get shot. Everyone else died. 🤣 but not really died dead.

"They see you in Aquaman one time..." I laughed out loud at that. 🙂

[@mikejankowski6321]

[@newmoon766]

The layers of this movie's humor and insight into sci-fi fandom just keep coming. It reminds me a bit of Blazing Saddles in that respect. At the end, the actors literally break the fourth or fifth wall, and the fans love it! Glad that you loved it too, guys.

[@alanfoster6589]

That's a good comparison.

[@chris...9497]

This film was released the same year as "Dogma", both films showcasing Alan Rickman's very-dry comedic chops. Tony Shalhoub says it was working out his character 'Fred Kwan' spent the event completely stoned that gave him the handle on how to portray him. Also, Kwan being minimally-'Asian', he was not put off AT ALL by the anime-sexiness of Octopus Girl. The cast will always call up for me Tim Allen playing William Shatner (legendary a-hole), Alan Rickman playing Leonard Nimoy (who resented then learned from a fan to cherish his Spock persona), Sigourney Weaver playing a mashup of Uhura & Seven of Nine, Tony Shalhoub playing the ship's engineer (originated by Irishman James Doohan with his terrible fake 'scottish' accent), Daryl Mitchell playing a Wil Wheaton genius kid, and a loving nod to all those 'red shirt' extras who are first to be killed in away-missions and ship-invasions (a few of which returned under different names to 'die' again).

[@krisfrederick5001]

This movie is so underrated. Tim Allen had the number one TV show, number one book and number one movie all at the same time. Humble legend

[@majkus]

I don't think it is still 'underrated'; it certainly was at the time.

for those who are curious about Tony Shaloub's character. it's weird. in the "Galaxy Quest" universe he's a non-Asian actor portraying an Asian actor named Fred Kwan playing Tech Sergeant Chen in the fictional TV series Galaxy Quest. he's also continuously high af. which is why he's always snacking. (though his thc consumption is never shown.) the character was loosely based on David Carradine. he was a non-Asian actor portraying an Asian man in the 70's TV series Kung-fu.

[@pleutron]

Nicholas Meyer described Galaxy Quest as something that becomes what it is supposed to be a spoof of, it starts making gentle fun of all the aspects of Star Trek from Cast Struggles to story plots to fandom but in the end it becomes a Star Trek like adventure in it's own right.

The movie was originally supposed to be more adult and I believe an R rated film. However during editing a decision was made to cut and make it family friendly. There are many allusions to the adult stuff, but I think it is better this way.

And yes; this is based around the cast of the original Star Trek, but as a comedy version. However; this is known in the Star Trek universe as one of the best Star Trek movies ever made. Even some of the cast of TNG love this movie. There was a time when they did try to make a sequel or TV series, but after Alan Rickman died, this is no longer going to happen.

[@megdelaney3677]

LOVE this movie! Very funny & entertaining. But I still get teary eyed when Quellek is shot & tells Dr. Lazarus he's has been like father figure to him. Alexander Dane, as Dr. Lazarus (RIP Alan Rickman) recites the catch phrase he formerly hated, now with genuine emotion.

[@DLCSTexas]

You guys had it right on the money about this movie. Though not a blockbuster right away it grew in popularity by word of mouth over time. It is well respected in the science fiction world and by the Star Trek world of high ups, producers and directors. It is an homage to the fans and respected at Comic-Con. It already has several documentaries at its anniversaries. You must find them and watch them. The story line right away is what got me because our radio and tv waves are out in space… scientist, nasa, and the space communities know that our old tv shows are traveling out there in time that we can’t understand. It’s a very feasible story here that aliens would find them and have a reaction. What a good concept and story. The beginnings where the Thermians appear get me every time I rewatch this with reactors. First they appear stupid or ignorant in the lead in. Some guess in a little while that they are aliens, some not knowing at all. What a great screenplay with enough money spent on specialaffects to give us a good movie. I just don’t get tired of watching others watch the movie for the first time. Having grown up watching Hollywood movies I would never have guessed that years would pass where a generation of 20 to 40 year olds would never have seen my movies, but here you are in you tube allowing me to relive the excitement of my first watch in your eyes. My favorite characters isn’t on the ship or the aliens, but Justin Long’s a boy at Comic-Con who has specs for the ship with his friends who save the main characters and the aliens in the end with his knowledge of the ship with his friends and his fireworks shot off at the comic con community center bringing in the ship from space. A well respected movie even put in the category with the Star Trek movies and shows and Star Wars. What a great “B” cult movie classic.

[@Whitebrowpriest]

45:00 - As someone who grew up on Star Trek: TOS, and all other earlier Trek related shows, I can tell you that you should definitely react to the more recent updated movies based on the franchise, starring Chris Pine as the famous Captain James T. Kirk. Those films are very well done, and the casting is amazing!! They casted all the roles with the perfecte actors, who all did an excellent job capturing the essence of the original characters from the TV show, while still putting their own personal flavor to them. "Star Trek" (2009), "Star Trek: Into Darkness" (2013), and "Star Trek: Beyond" (2016). Since you guys haven't seen the original show, you might not appreciate just how good the performances are from this newer film cast, but trust me when I tell you, they were on their A game.

[@Rocco1332]

Im going to leave a quote form Jonathan Frakes (Commander Riker STTNG). "I was at the CineramaDome in LA, and I saw it on a Saturday morning, or Saturday matinee. As I got out of the movie the first thing I did was call Patrick, who was in Toronto, I think, shooting X-Men. I said, “Dude, I just saw a movie that is about us and captures us like they’ve been reading our mail.” Patrick saw it that night. Then went again on the Sunday. And it was, I mean, some of the stuff in it is so on the nose and so accurate, and perfect, and funny. And Rickman. Rickman with the peeling makeup. Stuff that LeVar’s character does. I mean, it’s a favorite. I don’t know why that sequels never been made. I gather it’s encumbered with a lot of people who need money before they even shot, but this seems rife for a remake." Such an amazing movie. This and Princess Bride are the two perfect movies. It is a love letter to the show and the fans. From what I understand, the bathroom scene is based on something that happened to Shatner. You need to watch "Never Surrender: A Galaxy Quest Documentary" about how it got made. Also, that is Hans!

[@chrisfreeman7553]

Fun fact: during the Chompers scene, Sigourney Weaver did not say “Screw that!” Audio edit to keep the movie more family friendly.

[@nothingruler14All]

Great film, highly underrated by the general public, but beloved by Star Trek fans. It makes fun of some of the sci fi tropes, but you can tell the writers truly love Star Trek. I'm still shocked every time I see what an amazing cast they snagged.

[@garyedwardgray7549]

Fun to see you guys debate whether it’s a spoof, because that’s precisely the thing. It’s intended more as a funny homage. It’s not really supposed to be making fun of Star Trek, albeit it seems so in some points… like mocking Sigourney Weaver repeating the computer all the time. In fact, some people when they rank Star Trek films will include Galaxy Quest in their rankings. It’s also intended to be respectful to the fans. That’s why Jason King’s character and his nerdy friends help save the day. Great reaction. One disappointment is that my favorite line got cut… wanted to see your reaction… “Miners, not minors!!” I just adore Alan Rickman. I know, I could watch on Patreon, but I’m too po’ these days. Maybe in the future. I’d be happy to support your endeavor here.

He and I were both very heavily into Star Trek fandom and it's like a love letter to all the fans and geeks out there. My husband said that it was like a fanboys wet dream. Unfortunately he passed away in 2004.

21:40 Dude, did you miss how he's always got the munchies? He's high! 😂

The perfect movie. 50% parody, 50% tribute, 100% greatness

[@judson9223]

Cam's squeamishness is always priceless!

[@godholio]

Star Trek fans love this movie. Patrick Stewart tells a great story of how he thought it made fun of Star Trek, and had no desire to see it. Jonathan Frakes called him and said “you have to go see it, in a full theater.” Stewart did, and loved it.

"that guy Fred must be an alien" Funny you should say that....because tony shaloub is a very iconic alien in men in black

Hey guys, great review as always. This movie was such a great spoof of Star Trek. The running joke of the 80s and 90s was that William Shatner got too much into the Trekkie conventions, in fact there was a great spoof that he did in the 90s on SNL where he was at a Trekkie convention and just lost it, asking people why they were still living in their parents basements and that it was just a TV show. It was hilarious. I always thought Galaxy Quest got the idea from that SNL episode. I think that was why this was such a great comedy. Since Zak hasn't seen Star Trek, if you guys want to do some Star Trek reviews, you should do 2, 3, & 4. Wrath of Kahn to the Voyage Home. 4 the Voyage Home is one of the best Comedies in the space genre. However, if you haven't ever seen Star Trek, the three shows are a great intro to the show. Three was a great film for Trekkies but for non-trekkies it might not work. However the storyline is involved over all three shows. Glad you enjoyed this one it was great and so funny.

Shatner was incredibly self-centered. In fact, the rest of the Star Trek central actors never invited him to ceremonies and their own social events. You see this most in the only Star Trek film Shatner directed: "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier", which I believe is the worst of the film franchise. (Nimoy was a much better director with III & IV.)

For many in the Star Trek community, this was a great film. It was a love letter to an iconic franchise.

[@sarahwalton2662]

There is a making of documentary that is Superb. It's called "Never Surrender: A Galaxy Quest Documentary". It also would make a great reaction 😊❤

[@tracyoliver6648]

25:26. I love the dry heaves. It really adds another depth of realness to the movie. Great reactions.

[@nostradumbass7959]

in defense of Tonys squid girlfriend. 1. she looks human when she wants to because of the generator 2, she was a nice pink-purpleish color as a squid too, very feminine. 3. her arms and legs are covered in suckers and her tongue is probably 8" long or longer. 4. deception and disloyalty are almost completely unknown concepts to her.

[@davidmoore1264]

Great reactrion guys. But have to say....Cam gagging made me fall out of my chair laughing....!

You recognized Justin Long from "Dodgeball." You might have missed that Missy Pyle(the female Thermian) was also in "Dodgeball."

[@michaelvincent4280]

Didn't take you guys long to get on board! Great fun!

Got his last name, I played my first ever D&D character around Roc Ingersol.

[@michaeluplandcausa7878]

The thing about watching movies I may have dismissed when they first came out, but am watching through your reactions is that I now enjoy them. It may be I am more patient. It may be you're chemistry together makes watching movies fun. Whatever it is I enjoy your channel, and I finally saw the ending to Galaxy Quest. Thank you. Peace out.

[@TheRatsCast]

One more thing; Fandom made a documentary on this film called Never Surrender, which everyone should watch. There's a great tribute to Rickman in it. They made me cry; it was too touching.

[@Wishbone1977]

Yes, Never Surrender is an awesome documentary of an awesome movie.

[@arkikali5632]

Loved y'all's reaction so much. I always do. 🙂 So... I don't know that I'd consider GQ a parody, per se. I mean it kind of is, but you can tell they really loved Star Trek, so it was kind of an homage as well, kind of like Orville. As for the tech sergeant (played by Tony Shalhoub / Monk's actor), I think he was stoned the entire time. They kind of hint at it with him having the munchies through the whole adventure, but that would explain why he was so chill. LOL Anyway, thank you again for the reaction!

[@sharis9095]

The fact that you don't even have to watch Star Trek to know enough to enjoy this movie shows how big that franchise really was. I feel bad for laughing when Cam reacted to the inside out monster but mostly because I saw this in the theatre and almost had to dump my popcorn because I reacted the same way. (not good with goo). I also appreciated that Zay didn't turn it on Cam but instead was giving him support with the ... not yet, not yet.... it's the first reaction I've seen from you but won't be the last... I like people that can laugh.

[@garyedwardgray7549]

Great reaction as always, gentlemen. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@JaceD4V1S88]

The reason tony shaloub (Fred Kwan/Tech sgt Chen) is acting like that is because theres a deleted scene or an unshot scene from the script where he smokes a joint in the bathroom before their pods blast off to the ship, that's why hes so unphased by everything and was by the vending machine before they blasted off, hes high the entire time theyre in space basically.
