As a kid who loved Egyptian Mythology and Sci-Fi, this movie was one of my favorites growing up. The TV series “Stargate: SG1” takes it to another level. Fun fact: Stargate was the first film to ever have an official website on the internet

[@vasiliarkhipov2121]

Egyptian Mythology and Sci-Fi... Well here's a fun one for you. Many of H R Giger's designs, including the 'Alien' movies monster, was inspired by ancient Egyptian death motifs. For example the elongated head of the 'Alien' monster is believed to be inspired by Nefertiti's headdress. The black protruding bones of the 'Alien' are supposedly also inspired by Ancient Egypt. Apparently when he was only 5 years old, he was trapped alone in an Ancient Egypt exhibit at a museum with the blackened bones of a mummy encased in glass.

Small correction: _Independence Day_ was the first to have a website.

[@pacmon5285]

Let's clear up a few mistakes in your understanding: - Colonel O'Neil may be somewhat suicidal because of what happened with his kid, but he's still a military man defending his country/planet first. So, he's going to do the mission, and is willing to die for it. - Ra is not a woman. That's a guy. He has some very effeminate features. - Ra is not an actual god. Just an alien who was able to transfer themselves into a human body. The ease of repair makes it so they can live in them almost indefinitely. - Ra is actually the aliens name. When he came to earth he touted himself as a god (and with his advanced tech, the primitive society would believe it). Thus Egyptian mythology was created around aliens pretending to be gods. (Bonus with only a tiny spoiler from SG-1: Egyptian mythology isn't the only mythology created around an alien race. WATCH THE SHOW)

[@TomGallagherSuperboyBeyond]

Also, O'Neil wasn't gonna shoot the kids. He hesitated because of what happened with his son. Calling O'Neil a psycho when Ra is the one that keeps kids around him to use as human shields is laughable to me.

Ra is Ra. The Egyptian god Ra was supposedly based on him, not the other way around, that was the point. Also he didn't had supernatural powers. He had a spaceship, a fancy dress and gadgets like the one used to fry brains (basically the same Joker has). Regarding an earlier comment, they wouldn't have "GTFOd instead of going exploring", they literally had to find the coordinates to return to Earth.

[@AltCutTV]

Nah, he probably just built a giant pyramid shaped spaceship all on his own after seeing the pyramids. 😼 Jokes aside, whatever origin logic the creator of the film had intended it was likely based on a comic about aliens actually looking like, and probably being, these gods. Not just one of them, but the whole gang is stranded on Earth in their pyramid spaceship for some reason. That too was made into a film. Not sure I'd recommend it, but it was visually interesting and at least somewhat representative for the source anyway. "Immortel, ad vitam"

In addition to playing Sharee's father he also appeared as the librarian in Brendan Frasier's The Mummy alongside Rachel Weisz. 😂 The symbol on Daniel Jackson's necklace is the Eye of Ra, the sun god. The Egyptian god in a tomb suit is a Jaffa. They are the warriors used as cannon fodder by the Goa'uld. The Goa'uld are alien parasites that possess host bodies in their conquest of other worlds using both the Stargate portal network and their own starships. The sarcophagus technology The Goa'uld use to prolong their lives and to heal any injury also affects them in a negative fashion. I got to see some of the costumes up close as well as behind the scenes stills for the Stargate Movie.

Stargate was one of the first movies I can remember seeing in the cinema as a kid (my parents took me to see others before that, but they were usually boring so I don't remember them). It blew my mind that there could be aliens with advanced technology, who could travel across the galaxy, and who came to Earth in ancient times and took people away to be their slaves and etc., and I just thought the story was pretty cool. But more importantly, it made me think about those other sci-fi movies I'd watched before, made me think of them in a new light, and made me want to watch more sci-fi movies, read sci-fi books. Basically, this is the movie that got me hooked on sci-fi. And then a few years later I heard a rumour somewhere that they were making a Stargate TV series, which I watched religiously when it finally came on TV, and that's been my favourite TV series of all time. Highly recommended if you've got a spare couple of years to watch all the episodes of all the seasons and spin-offs.

The Stargate storyline did have potential and that gave birth to the highly successful Stargate SG-1 TV series (10 seasons) and its spinoffs: Stargate Atlantis and Stargate Universe, plus the animated Stargate Infinity. As for Kurt Russell, he was was a child actor that became a teen heartthrob for Disney with films like The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes (1969), Now You See Him, Now You Don’t (1972), and The Strongest Man in the World (1975). He then transformed into an action star beginning with his iconic role in John Carpenter’s Escape from New York (1981). Needless to say, Russell is a diverse and quite a talented actor. He’s had a really successful career. I’d recommend the aforementioned Escape from New York, Silkwood (1983), Tequila Sunrise (1988), Tango & Cash (1989), Backdraft (1991), Captain Ron (1992), Tombstone (1993), and Executive Decision (1996). I think the earliest film I remember James Spader in was Tuff Turf (1985) with a very young Robert Downey, Jr., and Escape to Witch Mountain (1975) star, Kim Richards. He then went on to do Pretty in Pink (1986) with everybody’s teen crush, Molly Ringwald. He then did Mannequin (1987) with Kim Cattrall. But his breakout role was in Steven Soderbergh’s Sex, Lies, and Videotape (1989), which was also a breakout role for his costar, Andie MacDowell.

Today too many shows end up getting cancelled before they get a real chance at finding their footing.

Kind of like Star Trek Enterprise, I loved the series but it got canned in season 4 after years of dropping viewership this show they tried to play it safe and dragging the story out too much. The show actually got interesting in season 4 as things were progressing quickly and there was rumors that season 5 would see the NX class starship get a refit making it look more like traditional federation ships with the large secondary hull with a neck connecting to the saucer section. This show failed for a reason and it wasnt because it wasnt given time to find its footing, it never found its footing till it was announced it was to be cancelled and then they started throwing all this content into the season that progressed the story quicker than they were.

I saw this as a kid and realized Col O’Niel wouldn’t shoot because Ra was using human shields. How does a grown woman miss that obvious set up and call him a psycho?

Awesome reactions to this superb sci-fi movie, Mary Cherry. English male model and actor Jaye Davidson played Ra in Stargate 1994. Jaye made his on screen debut in the classic film The Crying Game 1992, for which he received an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor Academy Award.

Did you know that the actor playing Daniel, James Spader was also the voice and character of Ultron in Avenger's Age of Ultron.

[@hollownation]

Came here to say this, one of my favourite villain performances of all time.

[@GérannGerberChannel]

Awesome reaction Mary!! Now you have to watch Stargate SG-1, Stargate The Ark Of Truth, Stargate Continuum, Stargate Atlantis and Stargate Universe!!

The guy who directed independence day directed this. That's why the epic finales

[@svtcontour]

Can I just say that I'm always happy when there is a new reaction for a movie I like. You have charisma and the entire thing feels like I'm watching the movie brand new again :)

Kurt Russel's finest performance: The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes (1969)

The intros for movies in different eras are usually due to whatever agreement the studios and the SAG union (Screen Actors Guild) etc have in place at that point. For instance, there might an agreement today whereby credits can be shown only at the end of the movie....or the rule might be that a certain type of credits must be displayed at the beginning of the movie. The intros usually have nothing to do with artistic expression....the types of intros are usually due to whatever agreement is in place between the workers' union and the movie studios. And as those agreements are oftentimes re-negotiated every few years, you will see intro credits change in movies/TV shows ever so often to reflect whatever agreement was in place at that time.

Stargate went straight to VHS in the UK, well it did have a very limited release in a few cinemas I think. I got the VHS for my birthday in December 1994. I had just turned 14, watched it that day. It was awesome.

[@chillysauceprophecii]

Stargate SG1 expands the story Daniel Jackson and Jack O'Neil and history of God alien of Egyptian legends. you might enjoy a watch.

[@wyterabitt2149]

It changes the story technically, as the original plan at most involved them realising the stargate goes to a couple of other places and doesn't involve an entire network. Obviously makes for a much better and bigger story with the change.

[@GreatOutdoors1]

The character Ra in this is male and the actor portraying him is male.

[@Donovan_oryx924]

I really hope you watch the series! It’s great! It needs more love for it’s been forgotten by most people nowadays.

[@acehole727]

Ra wasn't a god just a more advanced species than humans when they stumbled upon them so he portrayed himself as a god. “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Arthur C Clark

[@BLSFL_HAZE]

The peasants also didn't think Jackson was Ra. They thought he and the other guys were sent by Ra.

[@Taekwonjoe75]

One of my all-time favorite movies. Thanks for the reaction!

[@strangebiped]

The first scene outside of the TEMPLE with the TWO STANDING COLUMNS is still buried in the sand in the countryside of ARIZONA. It was made out of 2X4's & Painted PLYWOOD. The Doorway was only deep enough to HIDE THE ACTORS in the DARK SHADE as they walked out of the doorway. It would have COST TOO MUCH to tear it down & haul it away. That's HOLLYWOOD!

[@Milner62]

Really? Cause I remember in SG1, Anubis after getting the final eye, the Eye of Ra, he launched his super weapon on the temple destroying it and the people of Abydos. This happened in 2003, from the detonation seen in the episode I thought it was a practical effect.

[@artembentsionov]

Two of the actors from the movie reprise their roles in the show. The chief Kasuf and his son Skaara. One other actor (the guy who originally translated the cartouche) returns in a different role in Stargate: Atlantis

Dude! Best movie ever. First time I believed the theatrical version is better than the extended cut!

for many movies the theatrical version is better. terminator 2 for example. or donnie darko, which is an epic movie and the DC is shit^^

[@ingohillemacher6850]

Stargate SG1 is a series with 10 seasons and continued with Stargate Atlantis with 5 seasons. i love stargate. its very long and interesting story and so many species

[@Emily-tb1cp]

Please continue with the Star Trek franchise.

I was also not one of the biggest fans of this movie, however, the TV show Stargate SG1 is absolutely fantastic.

[@toddkes5890]

23:15 - the theme lets you know that this is a boss character 26:44 - ever make something and it breaks? That is how Ra saw the civilizations on Earth. 27:40 - they couldn't GTFO, as Ra's ship was on top of the gate. (they didn't know the origin until 30:04) 33:25 - Ra's actor was only in a total of 4 films, but he did an excellent job as an evil villain in Stargate. 34:18 - let the Revolution begin! 35:26 - Ra had super-tech that primarily worked for him, not god-like powers

[@SlamminGraham]

"Looks great for 1994" People so often forget that Star Wars was 1977 and 2001: A Space Odyssey was 1968

[@steveray9655]

I would definitely recommend checking out the series "Stargate:SG1". Two of the actors from this movie reprise their roles in the series: Alexis Cruz (Skaara, the boy who tried smoking), and Erick Avari (the tribal leader who tried the candy bar). They changed Sha'uri to Sha're, presumably because people had trouble pronouncing the original name. In the series, O'Neil (now O'Neill with two L's) has recovered from his depression, and is portrayed as much more fun (by Richard Dean Anderson). The writers even threw in some comedic references to an earlier role that RDA played.

Ra wasn't really a god. People worshipped and feared him because of his technology.

Catherine is played by Viveca Lindfors, whose film career goes back to the 1940s; among other things, she was in “The Adventures of Don Juan” with Errol Flynn. She was also in a great 80s movie, “The Sure Thing” with John Cusack and Daphne Zuniga.
