Sam Rockwell's scream after the transport was not in the script, was ad-libbed by Sam. It Caught Sigourney off guard, and her shock jump was real. They kept it in the final cut :) The whole film is a nod to the fact that Star Trek actors end up on convention circuits, and the fact that Kirk in the original series always ended up with his shirt off. Alan Rickman: "OH YES, IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT YOU ISNT IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". There is a documentary about the film with a couple of actors, Will Wheaton and Brent Spiner praising it. Oh and Tony Schlaub's character was originally supposed to be non stop stoned, hence why he was always mellow, or had the munchies.

Also, the self destruct ending at 1 second was another such send-up of the trope of "saving the ship at the last second."

Did you notice how, when Sarris showed up on the ship, he has that thing bolted to the side of his face? That's a "bandage" over a wound he suffered when Jason attacked his ship at the beginning, not knowing all this was real. So Sarris has a personal bone to pick with Jason, aside from just wanting to kill all the Thermians. I think the most wonderful thing about the movie is that last shot that flies up over the actors' heads and ends the story with the shot of the applauding, adoring audience. This film was made when fans were still considered losers, before geek culture became cool. It felt really wonderful to have a film say that fans were valuable people, that geeks could actually save the world precisely because they _were_ geeks. Definitely the best Star Trek movie ever. It's so good that you don't have to know anything about Star Trek to love it. As you know. :)

[@mrmeeseeks2755]

The film failed because it sold poorly, its marketing was the worst I have seen, after all they presented it as something for children, but the very remarkable actors, the idea raised and the effects are very good, I still remember it after more of a decade ... a shame because the critics value it very well

[@MGmirkin]

It was a great fucking movie, and I loved it from the moment I first saw it...

[@tyrionlannister1628]

A famous critic wrote an article where he named what he considered the Three Movies that are Perfect, the list went as follows. 1st Apocalypse Now 2nd The Godfather 3rd Galaxy Quest :D

I remember watching this movie in the theaters

[@chucky2srevenge361]

I just realized one of the side character aliens was a character in Star Trek: Enterprise holy shit

This movie is a hidden comedy gem. Very underrated. I think it wasn't advertised very well . I think with conventions being so big the past decade that this would be a big hit .I hope they re-release in theaters for a anniversary.

[@Otokichi786]

Compared to what CBS has been doing to "Star Trek" these days, "Galaxy Quest" is a reminder of when it was a much-loved franchise. It is unfortunate that without Alan Rickman there is no possibility of a much-needed "Galaxy Quest 2." "Star Trek" and "Star Wars" fans can only bear witness as their respective dumpster fires destroy the world they knew. Fie on clueless media conglomerates that have "Weyland-Yutani" as their operations model!

[@kingscorpion7346]

@Krister Lagerström LOL!

[@zenkim6709]

Never say never, dudes: rumor is that the long-anticipated Galaxy Quest sequel is finally (well, supposedly) in the works.... "Never give up.... NEVER surrender!"

[@Revkor]

Orville is like Galaxy Quest

[@MGmirkin]

First of all, new 'Trek shows have all been great. Have enjoyed them all [Discovery, Picard, Lower Decks], looking forward to Section 31, Strange New Worlds, Prodigy, etc. Secondly, it sounds like they might finally be getting a Galaxy Quest series off the ground, despite Rickman's death, though it definitely put a damper on things for a while, as did Orville, sort of, as a 'Trek parody / homage that kind of stood in for Galaxy Quest in its absence.

[@franktrainer169]

Actually a second movie is back in discussion

[@a2thenita172]

Yup. "Never give up. Never surrender." IS from this movie and my first time seeing it was when it was released in theaters and my friends and I loved it and quoted it all the time

[@brennanhearn6342]

As a lifelong Star Trek fan, I love this movie. The actors from Star Trek were nervous about it but THEY loved it too. This movie...It's probably the best parody ever made.

[@vwlssnvwls3262]

One of the things that makes this movie so great, is how it is clearly a comedy, but it has just enough seriousness to keep it from being total camp.

[@Chipotleadvisory]

This movie is criminally underrated.

[@ogrechan]

The going back in time being "cheap" is what they are commenting on with that scene. Many people would laugh about the time travel episodes in Star Trek. Guy was made after a real person, who used to work for Paramount, and was often and extra TNG as a security or transporter person. They immortalized him in this move.

[@Vegeta900X]

The bridge of the ship was actually built on a moving set so that all the actors was thrown around in the same direction then the ship was hit because the directors vision was to make it as real as possible.

[@mikejankowski6321]

Thanks! Now I don't have to type all that. :)

[@phydeux]

In case no one's mentioned it til now, that alien planet with the killer babies wasn't a set. It's Goblin Valley in Utah, a highly protected natural formation. They had to make absolutely sure not to cause any damage to the formations.

[@karlsmith2570]

"That's a side-effect, it's really cold or something?" It's actually the fact they're in a severe state of shock

[@MrTommygunz420]

(26:45) "I'm actually quite curious though" --statements like that (obviously by everyone over the years and online message boards' concensus,) are exactly how and why Justin Long's character and friends knew the ship so well from their show

[@sbritton1313]

They like you doing comedies because you appreciate them the most

[@karlsmith2570]

Fun Fact for you Mello: The scene in the bathroom where Tim Allen's character overhears those fans trash talking him was inspired by a real-life event where William Shatner went through this same experience overhearing a couple of fans trash tlaking him, especially when referring to his castmates expressing their dislike for him

[@StarryRoses]

I was a teen when this came out and my dad was a HUGE Tim Allen fan so he made sure to rent it (very rare for him). We laughed so hard, celebrated every fight, every win. I sometimes find myself quoting this movie still or referring to it in some way. This is my second time watching one of your videos and I subscribed. Love the way you present and edit.

[@2429Ryanspeer]

Obviously this film is incredible personally I grew up watching this film thanks for uploading this Mellverse your channel is freaking awesome 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@lonnywilk411]

The reason that Tony shalhoub's character was so calm - it was a tribute to the fact that Scotty - Star Trek's Engineer - regularly seemed so high-strung ("Captain! I do not think she can take any more!!"

[@zenkim6709]

"Man, that was a bit of a cop-out" [the Omega-13 time rewind scene] To be specific, it was yet another example of a Chekov's Gun payoff.

[@julielabrouste6344]

I yaked up my spleen watching this movie LOL! Sam Rockwell, in particular, was the shit! ;)
