[@nopushbutton]

yeah, geez. the scene SHOULD be so damn cheesy but it really gets me

[@MyWeedIsVeryGood]

Too late he died

[@jbearclowater]

"You'll forgive my impertinence sir, but even though we had never before met, I always considered you as a father to me." This is what makes this scene work so well for me. This is what made Alexander realize the importance of that line and his impact as an actor, and that he isn't just some washed up has-been who used to be important, he still is, to at least one person. I think a lot of sci-fi fans feel the same way to certain characters and their iconic lines. This movie is over 20 years old now, and still such an underappreciated gem. It's not just about sci-fi or being an affectionate parody of things like Star Trek, this movie is absolutely about fandom and caring about something passionately that may be considered niche to others.

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

You hit the nail right on the head, Justin. The earnestness of the "By Grapthar's Hammer..." recitation in the last scene is surprisingly emotional BECAUSE we know he actually means it for the first time in his career. Great movie.

[@oliversmith9200]

Like, I always thought of Mr. Spock as my best Uncle.

[@gazza7693]

Indeed, at the start of the movie he despises interacting with fans and finds it so cringe, but he realizes in this scene that they adore him, and what his "acting" meant to them. Actors like Harrison Ford and William Shatner are kind of like Alexander Dane who see it as fandom mania, but it's mostly adoration and reverence. It is really hard to explain to people why this movie is so good, especially when I tell them the title of the movie they just laugh and dismiss it as a shitty knock off.

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

@@gazza7693 Yep, and I always enjoy watching this movie even though I've seen it dozens of times. On the rare occasion that I find out a friend of mine has not seen it, I immediately invite them over to watch it - usually that night! And the cool thing is, then _I_ get to enjoy it all over again as they experience it for the first time. And every single time they are glad I told them about it and "made" them watch it. By the way, since Galaxy Quest is largely a fan love letter to Star Trek, a lot of fans of the movie are also big fans of Star Trek. So, on that note I *HIGHLY RECOMMEND* people have a look at the super high production value, fan-made "Star Trek Continues". It is Hollywood-level production values and was made by and for fans that are also people that work in the industry. Can't recommend it enough. They only made 11 episodes, due to how CBS/Paramount have handled that property, but it wraps up the original series quite nicely and sets up "Star Trek The Motion Picture" too. Here's a playlist: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXiQq5yKd6aemLM

[@drake8050]

Best character arc ever. Alan Rickman pulls off sarcasm and barely contained loathing like a boss this entire movie, playing a disillusioned English actor who used to be in theatre and is now only known for his role in a hit sci-fi franchise. Quellek is the embodiment of everything he finds distasteful, as someone who mistook a TV show for reality. The declaration of vengeance is the point he gains a newfound understanding about his role in pop culture (fictional heroes have as much impact on our lives as real ones), and embraces his fandom.

[@jamesdrynan]

At 1:21, this is a marvelous example of context. Every time the phrase is used before this scene, it is ridiculed, disparaged and mocked. Suddenly, in a situation of deep emotion, it resonates as a pledge to a dying man. Rickman's reading is poignant and profound. Kudos to the writers for showing how quickly a viewers' focus can dive into pathos from a platform of comedy. Excellent! The music underscores the feeling, too.

[@HolyBackboard]

The mark of any great comedy, in my opinion, is that it not only makes you laugh, but also contrasts the humor with other emotions. This scene, even now, gets me emotional. Such a fantastic, and underrated movie. Such a fantastic and underrated actor.

[@thaheeraalthaf1970]

This movie was funny and got me into a fit of laughter until this happened. I wasn't expecting anyone to actually die in the film, so I was really really shocked. I think Quellek represents the fans who find solace in fandoms and fictional characters. As a fan of way too many TV shows, films and books, I understand that not all actors and writers take fans seriously, but sometimes, fandoms really do become important for the fan. Quellek could easily have been a fan who did not belong in his family and thus looked up to Dr. Lazarus instead. Alexander obviously thought the boy was only being ridiculous, confusing reality for fiction, just like the other fans on Earth. But his death was what made Alexander realise the impact Dr. Lazarus and the show itself had on fans like Quellek, that faint smile on Quellek's lips just before he dies is what spurs Alexander into action. It is what allows him to understand that fandoms are very important to some individuals and that it is not ridiculous at all.

[@caitlinjane92]

Reminds me of a story James Doohan once told about receiving a suicide note from a fan. He called her, got her to come to a convention, then another and another, until she just stopped. 8 years later, she sends him a letter on how she now has a Masters degree in engineering.

[@Verillionmiles]

Also, watch his eyes before he says the line to Quellek. There is a moment where he is searching for what to say and then a moment of revelation where he realised that “By grabthar’s hammer” is not a ‘silly line’ as he declared at the start of the film. It’s a phrase that people gravitated towards because “you shall be avenged” implies that Dr Lazarus cares so deeply about others he will carry on their legacy into his own life. Hats off to Alan Rickman for delivering that revelation so superbly. Finding the importance in words as he is saying them and conveying it all through his eyes and tone.

[@kimwiser445]

With six children we drove on family vacations. When we had a van we would put a small TV with a built in VHS and eventually a built in DVD player on a ice chest between the driver and passenger seats. Our adult children can still quote lines from Galaxy Quest, Princes Bride, Sandlot and many others. This line is one of their favorites!!!! This brings back some crazy memories.

Alan Rickman was a master class actor the weight he brought to a movie like this, that another actor could've easily cheesed up, he brought a humorous yet, emotional depth to the character of Dr. Lazarus, like he did with so many of his roles. Very sad to hear of his passing, but he lives on with his on screen performances which is why I love film.

[@actionms8566]

There are a lot of spoof movies out there, most of them suck. But I consider Galaxy Quest to even surpass the films it is based on.

[@Fordham1969]

+A ctionMS I think what sets it apart from other spoof movies is that it seems like a spoof movie but it really isn't one.Spaceballs would be an actual spoof movie in that it broadly parodies the characters and scenarios you'd find in space adventure films,in a similar way that Airplane does with certain disaster films.But GQ really starts off as a straight comedy,looking at the indignities suffered by the typecast actors of a bygone hit series,and then does something fairly rare by morphing into a different genre and actually becoming a space adventure movie itself,albeit a more light-hearted,comic one.

[@Fordham1969]

+Daniel Appleton in a way it is a 'movie within a movie'(or tv show within a movie),at least for part of the time.The actors believe they're performing as their fictional characters until they realize they're actually on a spaceship in battle.Afterwards they more or less become their characters and it's no longer a film within a film.

[@sonofcy]

+Fordham1969 I think that GQ did it right in not being a "Spoof". They played it dead straight and let the comedy come from the genre and the situation the actors found themselves in.

[@fjccommish]

Um, no.

[@fjccommish]

Spoofs Star Trek in a way The Awful (Orville) thinks it does, but miserably fails in doing.

[@ryanrobotham7696]

Slightly unrelated to Galaxy Quest, but the British sitcom Fawlty Towers was a significant part of my life as it (along with Only Fools and Horses and Blackadder) helped me as someone with Asperger's Syndrome understand sarcasm and figures of speech and overcome a lot of communication barriers. A few years ago, I performed two episodes of Fawlty Towers with my amateur dramatics society, one specifically was the "Waldorf Salad" episode and I played the American, Mr. Hamilton. Not only was it a fun role to play, but after we wrapped, the bloke who played Basil told us that a woman came into his hardware store and said that her husband died recently and because of the show, she'd laughed for the first time in ages. How that relates to this is that it shows that entertainment can indeed mean something to people; Fawlty Towers helped me overcome a significant mental block and helped a woman heal through laughter. That's why I'll always be a proud fan of British comedy, like Quellek was of Galaxy Quest.

[@azraelknightquest5754]

A serious, dedicated Hollywood actor gets tired of being reminded of a corny line he said for a paycheck. A line that constantly reminds him of a silly sci-fi he resents because he felt he never got his due respect for the hard work and accomplishments he had as a theatre actor. Fans say it, he dies a little inside. He's forced to recite it, he grinds his teeth and swallows his rage. An alien tries to recite it, he gives a final warning. Said alien confesses that he was the closest thing he had to a father, that his "wisdom" and "attitude" were inspirational in him as a person before he dies.... And he says it as a oath that he carries out immediately.

[@ultrakool]

from loath to oath, rickman pulled it off with aplomb

[@awesomenolan234]

One of the subtle things i love about this movie is that he always has his prosthetic head on. even in the one scene hes at home in his kitchen. Its like no matter how much he hates that he played an alien doctor, he cant deny its his identity now.

[@HBoyle]

This is why Galaxy Quest is a perfect movie, it pokes fun at fandom, while still celebrating it. Are there dark sides of fandom? Absolutely. Every single one has a dark, slimy side. Just look at Tumblr or Twitter. But this last scene shows just how important a fandom can be. Many of us find comfort in the thing we so passionately love; sports, kpop, TV shows. They are what we turn to when we are having a bad day. When we have no where else to go, we can always go this place. And finding people who love what we love. Life long friendships are made because of fandoms. Sometimes, we don't have a family, so we make one here. Quellek was the perfect representation of that. Someone who genuinely loved and found comfort in his "fandom" and allowed him that solace and comfort until his final moments. Alexander always saw fans as stupid or childish, and made him think he wasted his career on a ridiculous TV show. But Quellek showed him that this TV show made a real difference and brought joy and hope to people.

[@Asphodel27one]

Thanks for putting these scenes together. It makes the last scene even more meaningful and sad. Alan is the best!

[@TrustifierTubes]

This movie is a love letter to science fiction and to Sci fi fans. It is so brilliantly written the entire movie literally is building up to this scene. For people who are our fans and understand Fandom This movie is actually very touching.. Everybody else sit from the outside maybe it feels a little silly. But Alan Rickman You have got to give the casting director The props for really welcasting this movie

[@elwachador]

When that guy dies, and he says the line, Rickman managed to make this scene an epic, moving moment. And bear in mind this is a comedy. A truly amazing actor indeed.

0:02 - Damn... I forgot Robin Sachs was in this movie. Then again, I first came to know him for his voice acting in Mass Effect 2 (and 3) as Zaeed Massani, 11 years after this movie came out. Of course, I later learned that he voiced Admiral Saul Karath in Knights of the Old Republic and several characters in Dragon Age: Origins. *sigh* May he rest in peace.

[@Belforhir]

he died? damn...

[@marcusmarcus8616]

I bought this movie on VHS second hand after it came out, I sure am glad I still have an operable player still.

By Grabthar's Hammer, he shall be avenged. We must take the fight to death himself, and we must end him.

[@rocistone6570]

The loneliness of immortality would drive "Mankind" to a depth of madness and despair that the human spirit could not tolerate. What we must strive to end are all the things that make death a petty and vile sneak-thief rather than a release from pain and suffering. Kill cancer in all its forms, slay jealousy, terminate ignorance and its shadow greed. But most of all strive to perfect Human memory so that it shall be forever inviolate, and therein, those who have given us so much will be granted immortality in every heart which has ever felt the touch of another human soul.

[@filmography3930]

As much as this scene tears me up, it also tears me up how the powerful, moving scene follows up with Alan Rickman running like a girl, in vengeance. 😂 The juxtaposition it just wonderful! Dark to light, perfectly transitioned!

[@ncc1701chris]

I remember when I saw this in the theater when he was running down the hall to get that guy after shooting him the crowd was cheering Hans Hans Hans........

[@ArodWingfoot]

3:05 You killed my buddy. Prepare to die. RIP Alan! One of the best actors of all time!

[@tkinsey3]

My god the way he delivers that last line. My Grabthar's hammer, Alan Rickman, you shall be remembered.

[@sakuraba86]

This is one of the best movies ever made, and this whole gimmick is the best part of the movie. It's either really funny or really sad. Such an awesome use of characterization.

[@ComeliaO7]

This movie came on last time. Omg truly his biggest admirer! And sure enough he avenged him!

Sometimes an Actor or Actress needs to Recognize the Importance of a Role they've played for Other People whom Need a Hero/Mentor or "Father-Figure" of their own; When None Exist in their own lives.

[@doctorhouse3151]

Daniel Appleton Absolutely. I'll add Sir Alec Guinness, Pat Morita, and Burgess Meredith in there for good measure!.

[@mechengineer4894]

Up to this point in the movie, I thought they totally wasted Alan Rickman's talent casting him in this role. Then at @2:51 after the kid passes away in his arms, we see that murderous expression on his face that made him the best villain in cinematic history in Die Hard. Can't think of anyone who even comes close to what he accomplished.

[@JayEccent]

R.I.P Great actor, my favorite role of his.

[@tywilliamnash5078]

I'm getting all weepy now. Great acting, from the both of them. Then homeboy proceeds to open up a can of whuppass...... priceless!

[@davidhutchins7925]

What a gifted actor, may he rest in peace. As great as he was in Galaxy Quest, he was also great in Die Hard. Peace, from California

[@spartan456]

I like how this entire movie, which is meant to be a parody of Star Trek and other similar sci-fi hits, manages to have far deeper and more interesting character development than something like Star Trek: Discovery.

[@ShadowSonic2]

It helps that no one was out to hate this movie the way they were determined to hate Discovery before it came out.

[@michaelgreenwood3413]

That being said, Discovery actually does have character development. Conservative Trekkies just freak out that it's "woke" (and forget, you know, that that's been a thing since TOS)

[@Costelad]

@@ShadowSonic2 I wanted to like it, but it's an MCU series not a Star Trek series.

[@mikcnmvedmsfonoteka]

Discovery is NuTrek so it doesn't count, same as Picard, Lower Decks S2 second half is actually great S1 is pretty bad, Prodigy is getting better and SNW is just rehashed old ideas nothing new but it's a bit better NuTrek. The main problem is they are ruining legacy characters, if those shows were set in the future from the beginning or in a different timeline/universe people probably wouldn't mind!

[@ShadowSonic2]

@@mikcnmvedmsfonoteka Please, they're all Trek. Certain folks are just mad they're referencing controversial modern day stuff and aren't as racist and sexist as old Trek was.
