Stargate and its series (SG-1, SGA and SGU) all need a lot more reactions. They're so slept on. It's aged really well too.

We're excited to start SG-1! I've only heard good stuff about the Stargate universe!

"Give my regards to King Tut, asshole." Fun Fact: Theatrical movie debut of French Stewart. Animal Wangler Fact: The horse-like creatures on the planet were real horses with external costumes draped over them. Dogs were also used. Location Location Fact: The first scene set in contemporary times was filmed at the Park Plaza Hotel. The interior scenes were filmed in a converted aircraft hanger in California, 500 ft wide and 50 ft high allowing for some of the most gigantic film sets ever made to be created. Practical Over CGI Fact: The city on the alien planet Abydos, which appears to be very large, was a miniature placed on a dune, with each course of buildings being only about four feet tall. Ra's (Jaye Davidson) glowing-eye effect was added in post-production, because test audiences didn't think that he was alien enough. This trait was continued in Stargate SG-1 (1997), as an identifier to people who are taken over by the Goa'uld. The Rest Of The Story Fact: The early pre-release screenings of the movie were disastrous. The percentage of the audience who liked the movie fell into the mid-30s, and executive producer Mario Kassar realized the main problem was that the plot made zero sense. His solution: have the Ra character's dialogue subtitled, and made into information that presented a clear storyline. When these changes were made, the subsequent test screenings produced an overwhelming majority of positive reviews, and this carried the movie into becoming one of the surprise hits of fall 1994.

@@BigGator5 thank you so much for commenting this! Benji and I don't have the most extensive knowledge of film and television and we love hearing about all this background information! Anything we said was all in good humor and we immensely appreciate all the people involved the production of these films and series!

[@BigGator5]

That's fair. You're welcome! 😁 Go in Peace and Walk with God. 😎 👍

[@WereintheBasement]

@@BigGator5 thanks for the watch and comments! Check back in a week or two, we will be starting SG-1 for the first time!

[@BigGator5]

Will do! 😁 Go with God and Be Safe from Evil. 😎 👍

Love the movie...absolutly LOVE SG-1. Hands down my favourite Sci-Fi. The universe is interesting, and the cast on SG-1 is amazing.

[@WereintheBasement]

@@Rocco1332 I'm excited to start SG-1! I've watched Star Trek TNG, DS9, and Voyager too many times. I need a new sci-fi universe. 😂 Check back in a week or two, we should have SG-1 first episode out by then!

[@Rocco1332]

@@WereintheBasement awesome. It hits the sweet spot for me. Evolving into a tonal blend of STTOS and the more serious DS9, with the later seasons swaying that way. The organic evolution of the team's dynamic is the icing on the cake though.

[@hugueslepeltier8931]

So it's the extended version. Not the version seen in theatres.

[@WereintheBasement]

@@hugueslepeltier8931 I'm not really sure to be honest, we watched the version that was on KZbin. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqTYimiajt2CedUsi=2-eBSNzSDc6LcUpb

[@Waterford1992]

@@WereintheBasement Yes this is the extended version as I had the theatrical version on VHS and a few scenes were cut from that version

[@exploreohio1735]

4 seasons of Battlestar Galactica was for a reason, it started good but it got worse and worse as it went on, I personally quit after the first 2 seasons then forced my self for the last 2 cringe seasons. that's why such a short life, not enough viewership and why I won't consider it better than Startrek series or Stargate series. Would love for you both to watch the series but a warning, not many reactors finish it because it's 10 seasons plus 2 other shows and 2 other movies to continue that story. That makes this a huge commitment as to compared to Battlestar Galactica

[@WereintheBasement]

I completely agree about BSG going downhill as the seasons went on, I was disappointed by the ending, but still love the show as a whole. I've rewatched Star Trek TNG, Ds9, Voyager and even Enterprise (Just not as much as the other 3). Stargate is a huge undertaking for sure, but we are excited to start and check out an entire new sci-fi universe/fandom that we practically know nothing about. Thanks for watching and commenting we appreciate it! Check back in, SG1 pilot we are hoping to film this week and have it posted the week after!
