Are you going to re-watch ep. 1 of SG-1 to see of movie references and connections?

[@CaptainNemo1701]

You can see how this movie acts as a pilot for SG1. They changed actors most likely due to availability, fees etc. It reminded me of the old Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea TV series recast the two lead roles as the movie actors were unavailable or too expensive. But SG1 does take up where the movie left off.

[@ChibiHoshiDragon]

@@CaptainNemo1701 The actor switch up shouldn't bother anyone, it should be something fans take in stride. You NEED to be able to see the Character and NOT the actor when it comes to the Stargate Franchise. Stargate does BOTH - switch out actors and reuse them I mean: Drey'auc, Teal'c Wife, is at first played by Salli Richardson and later Brook Parker Cassie is at first played by Katie Stuart and then switched with Colleen Rennison Dr Weir was introduced in SG-1 played by Jessica Steen and is switched to Torri Higginson And the reuse of one actor for 2 characters ALSO happens on Stargate, just a few are: Colleen Rennison also played a DIFFERENT character named Ally in Bane Paul McGillion plays both Ernest Littlefield and Carson Beckett Garwin Sanford played Narim and Simon Wallace, Weirs' boyfriend Christopher Heyerdahl plays several characters, Pallin, Halling, Todd... Mike Dopud played 10 different characters So might as well get used to it with the movie. If actor differences matter, stargate is NOT for you

[@KEVMAN7987]

In a later SG-1 episode, Jack says, "O'Neill, two 'Ls'. There's another O'Neil with one 'L'. He doesn't have a sense of humor." A joking reference to Kurt Russell's portrayal.

Roland Emmerich made this movie and then eventually sold the rights, hence why there are discrepancies. The show though, had actual historians, astrophysicists, and the US Air Force consulting on the scripts. The show was definitely an improvement.

[@SierraSierraFoxtrot]

But the movie created the look and feel and really nailed it. The show didn't need to improve any of the art and design, but they did build on it amazingly.

[@lornazubek4677]

SierraSierraFoxtrot I completely agree with that.

[@Siegbert85]

The show looks cheap though. The movie made a much greater effort to get that ancient Egyptian look down.

[@tierneybeckett]

@@Siegbert85 The show didn't have the kind of budget a movie made by Roland Emmerich would have.

[@fanta4897]

I can see the influence of astrophysicist in the show, but historian... not so much. The movie hit much more when it comes to design (Ra took form of egyptian god and so did few others so that explains why they have egyptian designs in everything and why they took the language, but show introduced gods from other religions and they too fly the same pyramid ships with egyptian hieroglyphs inside (even the most different one, Kronnos, had just differently designed seat in his ship), even though pyramids are not in every culture that goaulds took (are there any pyramids in Greece, China, or medieval Europe? no, how could they even land there then?), speak the same egyptian language, use the same unit (jaffa) with no different cultures between them, etc. which just doesn't make any sense) and also the relationship between gods was sometimes drastically changed from original (like this god was this god's son, this god banished this god, etc.). And the movie was also surprisingly original in symbolism (sarcophagus is not just coffin used to get you to afterlife, instead it's literally healing device which brings you to life, to a new life... to after-life, if you will, Ra is also god of the Sun, because he literally comes down from the sky, etc.).

[@DaDunge]

14:30 No Teal'c serves Apophis this is Ra the former supreme system lord. Ra was the ruler of all goa'uld until the uprising on earth, when some other Goa'ulds, Apophis amongst them, used that as an excuse to depose him and he went into hiding on Abydos. The servants he has with him aren't even true Jaffa, they are just humans dressed like Jaffa. Jack says that in the first episode "There were no creatures like this on Abydos, those guys were human".

[@imthewonderband]

I LOVE THIS MOVIE SO MUCH! I grew up watching Stargate multiple times in the 90s, it's so nostalgic for me. I also legit think that it is a great summer blockbuster. I loved the concept of the aliens that they came up with and my favorite part is all the research they did on the ancient Egyptian language to have *accuracy* in the movie. Too bad it didn't spur a love of linguistics in me as a young child, I still only speak one language :( Loving this movie is why I started watching the TV show as a pre-teen and have great fondness for it. Watching failwhale34 watch it is showing me that it is actually a good show. I never realized what solid continuity and world-building they did even in just the first season. I can't wait to relive the other 9 with y'all!

In Egyptian mythology, if I remember correctly: Apophis (whom I was raised to call 'Apep') was the serpent that lusted to devour Ra's Sun Barge each night as it traveled through the Twelve Hours of the Underworld. It was Ra's might, along with the aid of Bubastis (warrior goddess of cats) and several others that kept Apophis at bay, and allowed the sun to rise each morning.

In the movie, they go across the "known universe", but in the tv series, it's just across this galaxy.

Yeah originally they said it was beyond the Ida galaxy I think. Then the TV series said "Nah, lets retcon that bit and say they are across the Milky Way!"

[@pezdispencer113]

They retcon it more than that, they say that Abydos is actually very close to Earth which is why they could get a connection with outdated star maps (also explains the rough travel through the wormhole).

Oh also teal’c is not in the film since teal’c is first prime too apophis not Ra in the movie.oh also RAs guards was human not jaffa but that’s probably due to the film being before the tv series plus Jack O’Neill mentioned it in SG1 in the first ep

[@southhill6667]

If you've watched the Disney movie Atlantis, it drew a lot of inspiration from this movie. Milo and Daniel are pretty much the same character. Ha ha, when I found this out I thought to myself "No wonder I love that movie as a kid".

[@nachgeben]

Keep in mind that, among things you have been told already, is Richard Dean Anderson did NOT want to be in SG-1 because O'Neill is super damn serious. The showrunners ended up telling him he could literally do whatever he wanted as the character, if he'd agree to be on the show, so that's why O'Neill's way better in the show. Plus, the original with Kurt Russell suffered from the tropes of the early to mid 1990s, of the hardened, troubled and humorless soldier.

[@Dagenspear]

I'd say the character maybe loosens up by the end of the movie, if I remember correctly.

[@wwoods66]

Plus, movie!O'Neil was chosen for the mission _because_ he was borderline suicidal. He got better.

[@nachgeben]

@@Dagenspear True. They just didn't give him too much time to show that. Anderson didn't even see that, so he was really not into it. Apparently, he had zero interest in sci-fi at the time, even. But hey, he gave his all and turned that character into something amazing! Same with Michael Shanks. They made those characters their own and the care they took with them shows.

[@nachgeben]

@@wwoods66 Yeah, I do appreciate that they don't overstate that fact, too. The movie has some great points to it. I like the fact that it's not the tall, dark and handsome soldier that gets the girl, and gets close to the main villain, but the classic nerd/scholar. I like that that fact means Daniel didn't dive into getting offered a pretty girl for the night, but was just keen on talking. There are some fantastic trope-breakers in it.

Horus Gaurds. After the first Season I'm grateful they dropped using the Snake Heads, probably from fan feedback. I would like to think an enterprising prop tech took all the snake helmets and only molds outside to "clean" them and they "spontaniously" caught on fire or were "stolen." lol Once they had more money they did bring the Horus Headpieces back in later season for brief points in an at least one or more sg1 episodes.

[@Platschu]

As far as I know the extras have complained a lot that the Jaffa helmets were too heavy. So it looks nice, but they couldn't afford to design a huge variety on SG-1. There were only 5 different helmets: spoiler alert We have already seen the hawk (Horus) and the jackal (Anubis) in the Stargate movie. The they have showed us the Serpent Guards (Apophis), later the Setesh Guard (as part of the throne of Seth), then there was a brief look of the Necropolis Guard (SG:W name for Sokar's Jaffas in season 3). We have seen the Lion Guard on the Stargate SG-1 : Unleashed mobile game (Sekhmet). And we have seen a cool Horus Guard again in Moebius (Ra). There were screenshots about the Crocodile Guard (Sobek) and the Hyena Guads - Magi-Uchawi (Olokun) amongst a few others for the cancelled Stargate : Worlds mmorpg game.

[@Siegbert85]

I loved the movie, but it wasn't very consistent in certain areas. Ra wasn't portrayed as a snake like parasite, the spelling of Jack's last name, the guards was basically human and not Jaffa, and Jack's son in the movie was named Tyler, Charlie in the series.

[@heatherwhite3881]

The music/score, the sets, costume designs, overlap of many characters, Dr. Jackson is 100% on point in both, a couple same actors/familiar faces, the lore for the most part....it's very easy to see this world as the same setup in the series.

Yeah the biggest addition was the crushed and fossilised remains of Jaffa...including at least one of ras earlier first primes (denoted by the Anubis head - called that in credits, with the Horus eagle heads as other guards) When a gate is buried, but not “blocked”, things can still go through, and they’d get crushed If there is a big enough obstruction to the wormhole connecting by interfering with the threshold, a gate won’t connect The iris in the series forms a solid barrier MICROMETERS from the event horizon, so matter cannot fully integrate...hence series O’Neill’s comment of “like bugs on a windshield”

Don't get me wrong. I absolutely LOVE Stargate. It's one of my favourite shows of all time. Love it like crazy. There's just 1 main thing I wish they kept from this movie though: the language barrier. It makes no sense that all the civilizations speak English, while also having their native languages in the series. Daniel spends loads of time to decipher certain ancient texts in the series, while those characters from those civilizations talk English lol. It's just a minor thing that I accepted and suspended by disbelief at, however, I think it would've been cool if there was a language barrier and a way that the characters have to communicate in those languages or give them somekind of Goa'uld translation device.

[@magicalmrwest]

Did you watch this without any subtitles? Cause Ra is speaking and its meant to be understandable. Teal'c is not in this. These are not Jaffa, they're all human (dialog in episode 1 confirms that). You may have noticed, but in the film the Goa-ould are almost wearing like skinsuits of humans, its only in the show that they made them into snake like creatures. The gliders are slightly different in the movie, they weren't space fighters they were specifically designed for strafing ground targets with exposed cockpits whereas the SG1 versions have enclosed ones and spaceflight capabilities. The helmets differ depending on the Goa-ould they serve. Ra has the Horusguard who wear the bird helmets, with his commander Anubis wearing an Anubis mask. The Serpentguards serve Apophis who is known for his snake imagery. The Horusguard will appear in the show later on, but yeah the Serpent helmets were more practical for a prop even though they look janky.

[@kenyonmoon3272]

I would say I oscillate between enjoying the film and loving it. The series is superior in so many ways, but this is a great popcorn flick and the series would not have happened without it. And, arguably, the movie would have been buried in the world of "meh" B movies for all time had the series not grabbed and run with it. Teal'c was in the service of Apophis and does not appear in the film. Apophis was off dominating some other world or worlds at the time and/or hanging out at Chulak. Michael Shanks got the role for doing a spot-on impersonation of James Spader in the audition! Richard Dean Anderson was cast early, I think by invite as a lot of MacGyver alumni were involved in landing the contract for the SG1 series and he was brought on. The series retconned a few things, but for the most part tried to incorporate as many plot-points from the film as they could. These come up in all three series and the later films as well, it's not just a kickstart for the first season. Emmerich STILL hates the series, but he's the only person I know who does. I think Shanks said it best in an interview that, yes, it's one thing to have someone take your baby and turn it into something you never intended it to be...but on the other hand, he sold the rights and surrendered creative control. Someone else picked it up, and the fans love it and multiple crews/actors/etc have poured themselves into the universe, so...he (Emmerich) doesn't have much to stand on.

[@airmaildolphin7013]

I love it that even the Goa'uld like cats.

[@Newjourney14]

ugh the extended cut, the theatrical is better

[@bertus198]

o yes finaly

[@SierraSierraFoxtrot]

You should look up concept art for the movie, at one point the stargate could have been a triangle instead of a ring.

[@3DJapan]

I always thought the effects were better in the movie than the show.

[@tallicafan85]

you are supposed to watch this first. yea i didnt like jack or daniel in this pilot. they didnt really fill the part good.

[@EQINOX187]

Just wondering but what happened to SG1 ep 20 last Friday ?

[@williamr1088]

He hasn't watched that Episode yet because it's a 4-parter episode. (There but for the Grace of God > Politics > Within the Serpent's Grasp > Serpent's Lair)

[@Amadeus_Phoenix]

@@williamr1088 he's *watched* almost half of season 2 at this point.

[@williamr1088]

@Amadeus Phoenix Tin Man(1x19) was the last episode he watched. Next episode is There but for the Grace of God(1x20) Politics(1x21) Within the Serpents Grasp(1x22) Serpent's Lair(2x01) he said towards the beginning of Season 1 that he would watch the Movie before finishing Season 1 now is the perfect time for him to get the movie out of the way before he watches the next four episodes.

@@williamr1088 Amadeus Phoenix is referring to what the reactor has _actually_ watched up to - on his Patreon page he's up to S2E10 (which is why "watched" is in bold above) - as with many reactors, failwhale34 offers early access for Patreon subscribers (sometimes weeks/months ahead). His latest _KZbin_ reaction was indeed for S1E19 though.

@@anonymes2884 Really darn i didn't know he was that far on Patreon that is a bummer i need to subscribe to his Patreon so that i can watch the full reactions.

[@TomGallagherSuperboyBeyond]

It's such a shame you didn't watch this before starting the show. Don't know if someone told you to do it in this order, but if so they did you wrong. Still i'm glad you enjoyed it. And i'm gonna start watching your SG-1 reactions right now.

[@Mitheledh]

This is not a prequel film. This is THE original version of Stargate, though it may have been based on a book, I don't remember. In fact, when I first heard there was going to be a series based on this movie, I found myself scratching my head, thinking "this is going to suck." I was glad to be wrong.

[@Siegbert85]

It's not based on a book. However it borrows the themes of Ancient Aliens that other scifi authors like Erich von Daeniken wrote about before.

[@anonymes2884]

@@Siegbert85 Unfortunately Von Daniken _isn't_ a sci-fi author, or at least not intentionally. His works are supposedly non-fiction i.e. he claims there actually _were_ ancient alien visitors to Earth who built the pyramids among other things (largely ignoring or cherry-picking from the actual archaeological evidence).

[@cimarronwm9329]

I'm glad you watched ut. But I was so looking forward to your reaction in to the next episode. So basically 'you're killing me Smalls! ", which if you are unfamiliar comes from the movie Sandlot.

[@TheOtherGuys2]

The biggest changes I note between the movie and the show are mostly the design of the aliens, and the location of Abydos in the gate network. Ra here was shown to be a humanoid alien somehow inside of a human body, as opposed to the squirmy worms you saw in SG1. Also, Abydos was stated to be "On the other side of the known universe", while in the show they describe it as being relatively very close to Earth in the galaxy. Part of the show's retconning (and this is all season 1 stuff) was that they had to account for stellar drift, to allow the gate to connect to other planets, but Abydos worked because it was closer to Earth.

[@hemmojito]

This is not supposed to be Teal'c. Teal'c is a warrior of Ra's sworn enemy, Apophis, remember?

[@ChannelReuploads9451]

Did you see the actor in Jacks unit ? One was French Stewart. (Third Rock from the Sun, Harry) and RA was played by Jaye Davidson who was 'Dil' in The Crying Game. Crying Game: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXfJfZKlnNF7kNk Jaye left acting and went in to modeling, apparently HATED acting.

[@arcadebox]

i love the THE END with the sound like its something big .....but not realy its just the very very begining stargate SG1 Atlantis Universe Animated Series

[@valmoer]

Regaring 1:55 - Studio Canal is a French production company, belonging to one of the six "original" french broadcast channels (before cable and numeric TV) Canal +. They don't do many international co-productions, but they do some.

[@Hawkcam1996]

14:22 No, none of them are Teal’c. Ra used humans instead of Jaffa in this movie. In the pilot of the show, Jack even said “those guys were human”. Teal’c serves Apophis, not Ra.

[@philipocallaghan]

It's not a prequal film , it's THE FILM , with the ORIGINAL characters ! The tv series came 3 years later and did its own thing.

[@JustinWillisDevil240Z]

I just discovered your channel. I'm a huge Stargate fan. Lets RIDE!

[@lostpdreams]

I am not sure if you have said it in a previous reaction but did stop reacting to Rick and Morty? If you haven't, when will you react to episodes 7,8,9, and 10

[@airmaildolphin7013]

12:20 Everytime I see Ra's guards appear for the first time, I'm like, 'JAFFA! KREE!'

[@madcinder257]

This is actually a good spot to watch the movie, since you didn't watch it first. Watching it before There But For The Grace Of God is a good call.

[@markm4033]

I first saw Stargate a few months after it's release. I didn't get too much into it. When the series came on in the Sci Fi channel, I thought it was going to be dumb. I started watching more and got into it. Bought the directors cut Movie and I have all 9 seasons of SG1 and all 4 seasons and movies of Stargate Atlantis. Love the series!

[@Luciphell]

You can't compare this to the show. When this came out there wasn't even an idea for a show yet. Which is why Ra is the last of his unnamed species, and not a Goauld as seen in the show.

[@zvimur]

Also, instead of being a parasite controlling a body, movie Gouauld is some sort of shapeshifter (watch Ra just before explosion).

[@Siegbert85]

It's not necessarily wrong info. It's what the ancient people who were settled on Abydos believed. They didn't know about other Goa'Ulds, why would they... they were told that Ra was their god and that's it. They also wouldn't know about the snake thing.

[@Skeensh3]

When you said "Ra Power" 😆 makes me want to remember that pun

[@oldwebshooter]

I prefer the film to the series. The series ends up moving totally away from the Stargate's importance and it just becomes a mode of transport. Which to me took away all the magic of the Stargate itself.

[@k.a.p.x3642]

I know I'm very late but remember this man 4:21 if you plan to watch Stargate Atlantis.

[@Fuguer]

Now you should watch the Buffy The Vampire Slayer moviethat started oit all.

[@JamesDatWork]

No one ever talks about the kids that likely got destroyed aboard RA's ship.

[@dcsportsmark4996]

Not many reactions to this movie online. Thanks for posting. 🙏🙏🙏
