If there is any chance you can do a reaction to Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis, that would be amazing!

[@MrJturner74]

Now you can react to the series.

[@zillalordstudios5409]

Stargate was originally a book series or just a book, (I forget), which was set thousands, maybe millions of years in the past, on different planets across the universe. The story focused on god-like beings who created the Stargate technology of which the aliens in this movie use. The book has almost nothing to do with this movie other than the technology. I guess you could say it’s sort of a prequel to the movie’s story. These god-like entity’s actually inspired the Aliens to take on the Egyptian God motif.

[@thinkbeyond3457]

@zillalordstudios5409 I would think based on The Gods of Eden, which many credit as the beginning of the modern "ancient astronaut theory".

[@jerardoalvarado5526]

Stargate being described as “I think this is a show also” is the understatement of the century of the week😅😅

@@w1975bI really liked the change. For me, it made them even more of a threat. Remember episodes 2 & 3. Also, remember the whole reason Daniel stuck around or the motivation O’Neil to keep going through the gate.

[@oldschoolde5183]

I can’t recommend this Stargate TV series enough.

[@mnomadvfx]

Yeah but no. The show gimps Jackson's more general scientific intelligence (which is very evident in the film) simply to give Carter a niche to fill so that she isn't just a female version of O'Neill in her own segments. I get that the film was very male character heavy and the show needed some 'feminine energy' to balance it, but they didn't need to cut a major film character off at the knees to do it. Not to mention that Carter stood out as a very ridiculous character to me. She seemed to be potentially a very gifted scientist who basically pisses away her true potential to play GI Jane because she has massive daddy issues. There's one episode where she has a full blown expert in naquada reactors in her care - and instead of allowing the expert to show and tell her what to do, Carter turns it into some event of self discovery competition and turns the elegant and lightweight reactor design of the Orbanians into a chunky, HEAVY reactor that is likely less efficient. Tell me that doesn't sound patently stupid when the whole point of the stargate program is to acquire tech and allies to help fight the Goa'uld?! The plot hole just gets wider with every passing episode that they continue to use this same chunky design that Carter created herself.... just no. They seem to be so desperate to give Carter agency that they introduce these kind of major plot holes and never bother to fix them later. The film was PERFECT for what it was meant to be - a piece of entertainment based on quasi scifi fantasy pseudo history interpretations of ancient Egyptian archaeology.

[@reallollabunny]

this whole thread is absolute gold! this movie just made it to my watch list ^^ it is obvious, though - they are too much alike. I am guessing that Daniel might have become an inspiration of the nerdy hottie in general. James Spader gave that character one hell of a start. I absolutely adore Michael Shanks and he becomes a powerhouse of his own right later in the series but James Spader gave the character the exact right amount of awkwardness and depth that it needed to thrive. I am glad that SG-1 S01 has Michael attempt to play Daniel as close to Spader's version as possible - it made the transition easier (in the other direction too - I believe I saw the series before the movie)

It may simply be that I have always loved this movie, but I think this is my favorite reaction from the team. Especially the way the two of you offered your analysis of every aspect of the film. Since it was mentioned that their language wasn't given with translations, I wonder if either of noticed that once James Spader's character finally worked out the language and understood them, the subtitles were finally on screen and now we understand them, too. So glad you got this reaction on the channel. Thanks, guys!

[@jonathanpowell7256]

The pilot of the TV series Stargate: SG-1 had three aims: 1.Get Daniel Jackson back 2. Set up the Bad guy and 3. Establish that the Stargate goes to many different worlds. Erik Avari. The show ran for 10 years and spawned 2 spin-offs Stargate: Atlantis & Stargate: Universe, and an animated series. In the extended cut of the movie we see a scene of General West showing Colonel O'Neil the remains of a palace guard that was found near the Stargate, so in that version the militiary are more aware of what the threat is.

[@Darkstar72SR]

I think that the biggest overlooked idea that this movie puts forward is that the alien Ra didn’t steal his name from Egyptian mythology, it’s the other way around. He and his Jaffa (soldiers) inspired the lore of the Egyptian gods and myth’s. Remember, Ra was on Earth 10,000 years ago. The Great Pyramids and Egyptian culture are only supposed to be around 5,000 years old.

[@RaptorNX01]

the pyramids were supposed to be around then, they were used as landing pads, but yeah, egyptian culture people are familiar with came around later. presumably rising from the ashes of the revolution that ousted their gods. tho its interesting how they ended up adopting those gods again anyway. I wonder if it was a case of them building a society, but then over time smaller sects, possibly worshipers of the old gods, took over.

[@matthewgillies7509]

​​@@RaptorNX01the argument in the film is that there's some evidence that the culture is older than previously believed. Specifically, modern historians and theories have it that Egyptian culture arose following environmental and human migration changes in the region after the end of the last Ice Age. There is archaeological evidence for longtime human habitation in areas of the Sahara and elsewhere that is now completely inhospitable, but 7000 to 10,000 years ago would have been totally different to today. As such, the theory is that the Egyptians moved along the Nile following the increased rate of desertification, hence the high sophistication early on. In the film and the TV series, this is because of a few thousand years of Goa'uld domination and influence.

[@michaelconnor1542]

Every few months we learn something new, that indicates that the pyramids and especially the Sphinx, are far older than previously thought. Modern Egyptians are not the descendants of the Builders. Ancient Egyptians had bone structures closer to Europeans. According to a highly regarded geologist who specializes in erosion. The evidence shows that the Spirit is no less than 12,000 years old, and could older than 24k.

[@ryanhampson673]

What’s really wild is there are ancient Egyptian records that have the names of their kings going back 40,000 years. Probably just mythology but what if there was a civilization during the last ice age and it was wiped out during the events of the younger dryas catastrophe.

The show does not exist to me. Only the movie. I love the movie so much and wished they had made a sequel.

[@jdunivant1]

​@@DornishQueenhave you watched the shows?

[@RaptorNX01]

I think its just a case of the show expanding things so much that when talking about "Stargate" in general the movie kinda gets drowned out because there is just so much to talk about. everything even slightly hinted at in the film gets fully explored in the show. and stuff that the show brought to the table was way beyond the scope of the film. its like how in star trek, until the JJ films and the new trek shows, most people would have no idea who Captain Pike was. even tho he was literally the first main character of all of star trek.

[@dvc1190]

The only other show I can think of where the show was more successful than the movie is Cobra Kai. There are a lot of people that watch Cobra Kai without having watched Karate Kid. The difference is Cobra Kai will not let you forget that there is a movie that came before Cobra Kai. It constantly reminds you. Also, Karate Kid had several sequels. Idk, maybe it’s a bad comparison 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@dvc1190]

Actually, I think a better example is Flipper. I didn’t even know it was an adaptation of a movie until I looked it up on Wikipedia. Another is Friday Night Lights. My point is that Stargate being forgotten when the show is so popular might not be that strange.

The cool thing about the language the people on the other planet speak is that the way Daniel learns it is accurate, as is his comment about getting the vowels right. Ancient Egyptians only wrote down consonants, not vowels (similar to Hebrew). While Egyptologists are reasonably certain about how the consonants sounded, the vowels that are between them are largely a guess based on distant descendants of the language. So once he was able to pick up the basics of the vowels from Shau’ri, he was able to converse with the locals thanks to his existing knowledge of Ancient Egyptian

Unfortunately yes - later episodes of the show confirm Jack was at home when his son was playing with his gun. It was unsupervised, unintended, and fundamentally shattered his family and his outlook moving forward. He was close to following his son into death.

@@rileygoogoo1825 I feel like Jon saw it idk. We can get a show react 🤔

[@rayloc420]

Coy and jon is my favorite team. LOVED their dcau series

[@LenaDee666]

Watched the movie so many times!!! Grew up on every thing with STAR in its name. Stagrgate SG1 became super fast one of my all-time favorite shows!!! They did an amazing job of continuing the story of the movie

[@eawhite782]

Fantastic reaction! So glad that you two loved the movie, it's one of my favorite sci-fi movies and lead to one of my favorite sci-fi shows. You guys should definitely check out Stargate SG-1! Such an amazing show! Atlantis is fun as well and Universe, while taking a different tone, is still good.

[@carlosrvra]

The “guy from Gotham”, Richard Kind, REALLY put his comedic chops on display in a 90s(?) Michael J. Fox sitcom called SPIN CITY.

[@cosmo588]

James Spader is so finnnee in this. Great reaction guys!

[@JohnSmith-wl8ts]

Coy nailed it exactly, this movie and the series was loved by the older comic con going nerds. Most of us still go to cons!. I met the actor who plays Jack o'Neill in the tv show at a convention in Australia, such a nice guy. We got 10 years of the tv series, it was really well done as was the Atlantis series that followed it which Jason Momoa was known for. They are tied together, there was also a couple tv movies from the SG1 to wrap it up.

[@jgarcia4721]

I love how Coy is like "this is great sci-fi" and its just getting started ❤

[@wardenm]

One of my biggest complaints in sci-fi / fantasy is often how the MC will just magically know the local language and customs for no given rhyme nor reason. Absolutely adored how organically it was handled in this and given such depth.

[@SE7ENFX]

I still have this on VHS somewhere. 😂

[@cernik9]

Same😅

[@SE7ENFX]

@@cernik9 my gf keeps telling me to get rid of all the tapes and dvds. I can’t. 😂

[@VergilTheLegendaryDarkSlayer]

​@@SE7ENFXtapes are somewhat understandable, but the DVD's? Why get rid of those?

[@SE7ENFX]

@@VergilTheLegendaryDarkSlayer I have 3 book shelves double stacked with them and they take up so much space. Honestly I can’t remember the last time I used one but spent so long collecting them I can’t get rid of them.

[@VergilTheLegendaryDarkSlayer]

@@SE7ENFX wow, so it sounds like your GF wants to use those bookshelves then, so buy your GF a bookshelf if she brings it up again

[@GenXCellent1970]

How exciting to see such a great reaction to a film i saw in the theatre, and you having the same reaction i also had decades ago was awesome. I still remember how much the audience loved it, one of the best.

[@yotuel9064]

If you like the movie... you'll be happy to discover that this spawned a 10 seasons series with spin off series with multiple seasons (on of them run in pararell and have characters that visit each other) and a few more movies.

[@krisztianunpronounceable]

Admittedly, it would take a few years to get through it all

[@RaptorNX01]

I would happily follow that multi-year journey with them. and they could always do 2 eps per reaction.

[@LibertineDeSade]

I LOVE your guys' reaction to this. Stargate is one of my all-time favorite movies. And the first show in the franchise, SG-1 is my absolute favorite show ever. I hope you guys consider reacting to the shows. I really like your commentary here.

[@someonedifferent198]

For reference I am a 39 year old Dutch lady. I believe for me it started with SG1 (the show), but obviously fell in love with the movie to in retrospect. I show was on late at night in the Netherlands. I found the movie later. Oh the times when everything was not just one click away.

[@DavidPilcher83]

Hey guys, I love your channel. I love the whole team and the ride along with all your first timers. This is a classic, I loved this movie from the first time I saw it, which was in theaters with my parents when I was 11 years old lol. Good times. It even spun off a slew of TV shows which I also enjoy. Sci fi nerd here. Keep up the good work!

[@joshpeveto805]

Imo one of the most unappreciated sci-fi movies ever. Will forever be a classic

[@natbrookes85]

you two have become my favourite reaction duo. ive never seen stargate so this is a first for me too. loving the reactions.

[@thevagrantgaming]

Stargate isn’t a movie or a show. It’s a religion for real ones.

[@kristal9355]

this effect in the theaters made people physically ill. It was incredible to see

[@PreMal2023]

Cool. Do you have any idea how they did that?

[@kristal9355]

@@PreMal2023 Im fairly sure the visuals were the key there. Flashes and motions as the rollercoaster cloud tunnel sequence started, so many people left the theater, needed air, got dizzy, and some people barfed. I felt sorry for them, as they left so early, they miss all of the movie.

[@kristinab3838]

I remember Speed Racer triggered people's epilepsy. I do remember having to close me eyes watching it cuz visuals goy me dizzy.

[@markjameson01]

I have loved this film since I saw it at release, it was great to see how much you enjoyed it, even now at 52 years of age it is still one of my favourite films.

[@LivinDeLife86]

We definitely need to see Andrew watch Lost Boys!

[@johnspartan5515]

The "space buffalo" definitely looks Jim Henson inspired. The face reminds me of one of the mystics in the Dark Crystal when i watched it in the theater many years ago (yeah, im that old😂).

[@Mugthraka]

The Script idea for Stargate started when an Writter made a book about how the Great Pyramids of Gyza, where in fact Alien landing zones for their ships or something like that. So the guy who wrote the script found it interesting and started to write a script with this in mind The whole "Ancient men din't have the technology to move multi tones stones on large distance back then, so they must have been aided by aliens" is not something that dates only from a Joe Rogan podcast with a Hack "scientist" as Guest, its a "theory" that as been around for decades. And this movie kickstarted the production of one of the greatest TV shows of all times, Stargate SG1.

[@RaptorNX01]

the funny part is, it was still ancient men that built the pyramids, it was just the aliens had more advanced whips. lol

[@tvdroid22]

What's really wild is how seamlessly Micheal Shanks took up the role of Dr. Jackson on SG1. Atlantis ran 5yrs as a spin-off of SG1, which ran 10 years. SGU, don't ask. Richard Dean Anderson (Macgyver) played O'neill differently that Russell, but it worked.

[@garyballard179]

Anderson's portrayal works so well despite the differences because of how the movie leaves off of Russell's version. O'Neil is changed by the events of the movie, and has a new way of looking at life, but we don't really get to see fully how that plays out after he steps back through the Stargate. Anderson's version picks up a year later, after he's returned to normal life, having adjusted and (mostly) gotten over his son's death. So it fits that the character would be more open and alive, in what we can only imagine how he was before the movie.

[@PilsnerGrip]

Cool to see people having fun with this movie from completely different angle than a 7 year old me back in the day :D

[@NylonStrap]

The explosion ring in the nuclear blast actually precedes the one in Star Wars. The original Star Wars Death Star explosion did not have that ring, but was added on in 1997 during the Special Edition

[@josesoto-ec2my]

With that haircut I always thought Kurt Russell looked like Colonel Guile from Street Fighter.

[@Pendy555]

I know you said you try to cut down on comic book references but don't ever stop. I find your knowledge and references about them fascinating as I was never much of a comic book person myself. I always appreciate what you bring to the table with those references.

[@TheOnlyHawkeye666]

Amazing quality movie for the time it was made, great acting and production quality! Also paved the way for one of my favorite sci-fi tv shows ever...... Stargate SG-1!!!!!

[@sashabowerbank5445]

Would love to see you react to Wolf and The Lost Boys. You two together are definitely my favourite pairing. I feel like you both approach films the same way with an emotive reaction but then a logical analysis at the end which is aso interesting to eatch, your observations are top tier and i watch alot of reactors. Only discovered Reel Rejects a few days ago and ive been binging my way through your backlist. Great as always, this film is such an unsung hero for hillywood

[@Elios0000]

GOT to watch SG-1 now!

[@squirrelbuddi]

This was huge when it came out. Once the series came out, the fan base became very divided, and then its relevance died quite dramatically. Went from hearing about it everywhere to never hearing about it again in a blink. It was kinda sad.

[@andrewhelmer6853]

Great movie and an amazing duo to watch it with . Only 3 minutes in and Andrew and Coy are already dropping deep entertainment industry cuts from memory. Ridiculously impressive !

[@edudario1974]

I watched this movie in 94. Didn't know anything about it, not even seen a trailer. But I was walking and saw the poster at the cinema and I thought: A strange light beam between a pyramid and a ring in the sky, plus the name of the movie: Stargate and said to myself, " I have to watch this movie" It's great, great action movie, for everyone, one of my favorite movies of all times. Before Emmerich went obssesed with tsunamis, tornados and earthquakes. We need this nowadays. Movie industry sucks in these days. I want the 90's back and the 80's !!

[@michaelconnor1542]

SOLDIER is a must for Kurt Russel fans. He says almost nothing. All of his acting is in his face and physicality.

[@WinterSo1dier]

Another great sci-fi with Kurt Russell is the movie “Soldier”, has Jason Lee in it as well.

[@maximprikhodko8204]

Richard Kind was also in Stargate Atlantis :)

[@eliechaya9690]

Love from Belgium 🇧🇪 ❤ Saw this one back then and my wife can’t sleep without watching one of the episode of the consecutive show

[@Ramos--re1pp]

Love this movie and like when these two react with each other. Human encyclopedias of films.

[@Theuncontrolled]

James and Jaye acting their pants off in that brief exchange between Daniel and Ra. The presence both have, Daniel knowing he's intelligent enough to be a threat and Ra seeing that Daniel is more of a threat than the military.

[@walfiend2]

If you want a hidden gem of a sci-fi movie and to see how much of an amazing actor Kurt Russel is, without using dialog, you should watch Soldier. He as maybe 3 lines of dialog through-out the movie but you completely understand his emotional journey. This was a fantastic react, and I'm glad you guys got to discover what a truly special movie Stargate is.

[@hinesmaster99]

Wolf was a cool werewolf movie
