Cassie: "It looks like Tattoine ..." Me: (wipes tear from eye) ...she's come so far.🤣

"This is a Big Trouble in Little China moment" is the most proud I've ever been of her

"So this guy created Earth, they're saying?" Not quite. He _discovered_ Earth and its humans and found out that his technology could repair human bodies quite easily, so he transferred his dying self into a human body to become effectively immortal. He then ruled over the Egyptians, and he kidnapped a bunch of them and brought them to this new planet to mine its ore for him -- but when he was away, the Earth humans rebelled and made their gate inoperable, which prevented him from being able to return to Earth.

Richard Dean Anderson's portrayal of the character is awesome because while he is funny and goofy the majority of the time, there are moments where he gets deadly serious and you can sense it. He's a very underrated actor.

The thing that made Stargate SG-1 so unique is that it was us, present day humans from the 1990s, going up against Aliens. There weren't any spaceships (at first). There was just the Stargate, which allowed us to go anywhere, basically. The show had to change some things from the movie, to make it all work, but I prefer what the show did. If you start watching SG-1, while also watching TNG, then I think I just died and went to Heaven.

Stargate SG-1 has over 200 episodes but it's absolutely brilliant. Richard Dean Anderson as Jack O'niell and Michael Shanks as Daniel Jackson have just some of the best chemistry on television and the show delivers with both sci-fi action and a hefty dose of laughs.

So it's set just between Brendan Fraser finding the Mummy and Harrison Ford finding the Ark of the Covenant. Busy times in Egypt.

KZfaqr of many years, same age as you. Would like to thankyou for your very honest and non acted reactions. This is what people want to see, normal people reacting honestly and not putting on an act. it's like trying to find a needle in a haystack these days. Kudos to your success

"Oh...he's going to put her in the "bring-her-back-to-lifer" thingie!" My absolute favorite new Cassie euphemism. 😁

As a polyglot this movie has my absolute favorite linguistics joke of all time. When Jackson is about to tell the story about how the people became enslaved he's asked "I thought you didn't speak the language?" and he replies "Oh, it's easy once you know the vowels." Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs are only the consonants, we have no idea what the vowels are so they have to take their best guesses on what a shockingly large amount of stuff is actually saying. I can guarantee that joke goes over 99.999% of audiences heads but it still cracks me up.

When I was in college, a radio station had a call in question. I don't remember what it was, but I called in and answered it correctly. My prize was a DVD copy of this movie. I hadn't seen it before, but I enjoyed it very much. I was so happy when he was able to bring her back to life. "Go, Sha'uri. It's ya birthday!"

The series of stargate SG-1 is bright light in the sci fi world. While most new sci fi are overfilled with interpersonal drama that only wears the guise of sci fi, sg-1 actually appeals to the adventure/mystery/sci fi demographic in a real sense.

In the TV show it was Richard Dean Anderson who was quoted as "That is O''Neill with two L's, that other guy has no sense of humor" talking about Kurt Russel in the movie

James Spader and William Shatner were AWESOME together on "Boston Legal." Hilarious and at the same time very touching.

"No!!! Dangerous!!! " Grabbing the MP5, with his finger on the trigger, and pointing it directly at the kid.

As a writer, it's always interesting to get the perspective of an average member of the audience during a first time viewing. Thank you for doing these. It's very helpful to know when you understand something, vs when you do not understand something. When you get a joke, when you don't. I love taking breaks and watching these vids of yours. Thanks.

I haven't watched the movie in ages but SG-1 and Atlantis remain at the very tippy top of my fav TV-shows of all time. I've rewatched both shows several times. They have that perfect mix of self aware silliness (not so much at the very beginning, but it grows into it) and seriousness.

Kusaf ( The Leader/ Father) is played by Erick Avari. He was in The Mummy, The Chosen and numerous other things. He's a great actor.

One of the most important movies of my childhood! My entire family has a lifelong obsession with the Stargate TV shows, and this was how it all started. I remember how excited we were when the show was announced, and we still rewatch it religiously. 😄 I highly recommend watching the show or at least the pilot movie! It's like a precursor to Star Trek where a more flawed, contemporary society takes the first steps to one day hopefully becoming something like Star Trek.

The old lady who appeared early in the film was the late Viveca Lindfors. She played Bedelia in one of the short stories in Creepshow (1982). She died in 1995 and Stargate was one of her very last films.

As a realist, I don't expect Cassie to watch 10 seasons of SG-1, let alone Atlantis and Universe. But I'd LOVE to see her react to at least the pilot TV episode, or Season 1.

Did you notice one of the soldiers was played by French Stewart who played "Harry" in 3rd rock from the sun !

I've noticed a lot of movies these days when you watch them on streaming don't have subtitles when it's some sort of alien language but I remember on the DVDs or watching in the movie theaters they had a translation because it was part of the story

I actually met James Spader in Richmond VA when he was filming Lincoln. It was at a rite aid and he was there with his family who was sick at the time so he didn’t want pictures or attention drawn to them, but he still talked to me and it was a positive experience, nice guy. He was not rude and took the time to say hi and explain why he needed to lay low and go.

The Stargate TV series (1997-2007) was filmed in Vancouver and starred 2 Canadian actors (Amanda Tapping & Michael Shanks)

Honestly, SG-1 built upon this movie... and did it better. One of the few times a TV show based upon a movie improved upon the original.

So fun fact, the effects for the Stargate activation (typically referred to as the vwoosh by fans) along with the vortex that appears behind it were created with practical effects. They filled a clear container with water and shot pressurised air into it to create that explosion of bubbles effect. They then put a fan at the bottom of the container to create the vortex. They proceeded to super-impose both shots on the Stargate. Credit to both James Spader and Kurt Russell, they may not have been entirely invested in the material of the script, but they still gave the roles their best performances. Also, David Arnold - who scored the music for the film - has provided the music on two other Roland Emerich films, Independence Day and the 1998 Godzilla. He also worked on the scores for three of Pearce Brosnan's Bond movies as well as the first two of Daniel Craig's Bond films. Man has mad talent.

Great movie. Remember watching it in cinema. Someone said about it that time: Cost 50 million, looks 100 million and made 200 million in the box office. Spot on. Great movie with a great Kurt Russell. "Breakdown" is a great underrated gem of his. Or "Executive Decision".

Spader is such a chameleon. His roles from Lincoln, Blacklist, Pretty in Pink, Secretary, Less than Zero, and here on Stargate is so diverse. His hyper-intelligent take on Daniel Jackson made them reprise the 'character' for the series.

Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis are two of my favourite TV series. They expand the Stargate lore so well and provide a rich history. I recommend it and the chemistry of the SG-1 team is so good that they make it easy to get invested in their adventures. For crying out loud - Jack O'Neill Well, I do speak 23 different languages, pick one - Daniel Jackson Indeed - Teal'c You know, you blow up one sun and suddenly everyone expects you to walk on water - Sam Carter

22:25 "Nani wey ya-sachayya." (You have come here to destroy me.) 23:41 I don't remember the exact wording in the subtitles, but Skaara asked Sha'uri why Ra was punishing them, and she told him something I don't remember, then asked about Daniel. Then Kasuf, the elder who covers a dead villager's body in the next shot, tells Skaara that they should not have helped the strangers (the Terrans, aka Daniel and the Air Force personnel). 24:06 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qtOKnKqXsbzXaKs.htmlsi=ZdP6QCTHtIE3LzGw

One of my teachers at UCLA was the technical advisor on this film. He also wrote the Egyptian word-script which is the foreign language in this film.

STARGATE SG-1!!! STARGATE SG-1!!! STARGATE SG-1!!! 😍

The TV show establishes that Jack told the army that they destroyed the gate on the other side. The Earth Gate is basically put into storage as everyone assumed it only went to one location.

I remember my mom dropped me off at the local theater so I could watch this. I was like 10 and I don’t recall anyone else being in there with me. Loved it. And James Spader is now one of my favorite actors because Boston Legal and Blacklist.

Ill say this. If you EVER do a full watch through of ANY Sci-Fi TV series Stargate SG-1 is IMO one of the top choices. It has one of if not the most internally consistent worlds, meaning rules they set up during season 1 still apply in season 8, and has some of the best story telling of any Sci-Fi series ever released. Now unfortunately you dont get Kurt Russell back but you do get a EXCELLENT replacement in Richard Dean Anderson, aka the OG MacGyver.

I was blown away by the special effects when I saw it in the cinema, that and the concept of dialling the Gate at the start. There was a narrow window when Stargate could've been made, when the special effects were good enough but people still found the concept of rotary phones natural. A great film but it spun off an even better TV series.

22:08 It's an Anubis soldier.A jackal head representing the Egyptian god Anubis (a Goauld murdered by his peers 2000 years ago). It is the Prima of Râ (the soldier who is his right arm) Râ is at the top of the pyramidal hierarchy of the Goa'ulds (name given to the species of alien in the series). Given this fact, he could have soldiers headed by Anubis, and Horus (soldiers with head of Falcon,which represent the god Hôrus, who protected the family of Râ). Stargate has a very extensive and complex lore behind it, especially since the saga includes 3 films and 3 series. The majority of Goa'ulds are ruthless, a few, rare, are more moderate or even friendly. For the translation of the Egyptian language, the subtitles must be activated I think.

Richard Dean Anderson's Jack O'Neill is absolutely brilliant in the series. Love his references to McGuiver throughout the series 🤣🤣

The scene where they finally open the Stargate is so epic.

I love how Daniel casually corrects the translation with little effort.

one of my favorite movies and actors. It led to my favorite tv series ever, Stargate SG-1 and then led into Stargate Atlantis. Stargate tv series is the longest Syfy show ever, meaning, to never take a break. Straight through 10 years. Miss it. Remember, O'neil said he was there in case they succeed. His own mission , going to the other side is to close the gate so aliens cant come to earth. HIS mission not telling the others is to set the bomb, and get back to earth all of them . He didnt create earth he was a alien. Earth was original domain. Years later the tv series takes off from where the movie ended. Jack O'neil is now Richard Dean Anderson who is hilarious and great ( the original macgyver) and then the supporting cast which were amazing. Spader doesn't come back but his replacement, Michael Shanks, is insanely good. Sam Carter.. It is so worth binging. Then , once you get through 10 seasons, it leads you into stargate atlantis.

"Douche canoe" I've forgotten that amazing phrase, thank you for the reminder!!

In 1994, when Stargate came out in theaters, it was the most anticipated and hyped movie for nearly an entire year before it was released.

Ra’s guards are Horus (falcon heads) and the leader wears a jackal head which represents Anubis.

What made stargate so special was that a single idea of a wormhole could spawn millions of stories.

I love how this movie launched one of the best Sci-Fi absolute rip of shows of all time, then two sequels!

Saw Star Wars many times in the theater in ‘77, have all the OG toys. Grew up on with TOS on tv in reruns, watched TNG and am a die hard Voyager & Enterprise fan. But even with all that, Stargate is my favorite and my happy place, especially SG-1. They walk the line of being just self-aware enough, and believable enough, for it to work. It’s a real gem. My second fav is definitely Wormhole eXtreme though.

My ex-wife and I saw Stargate at the theater when it was released. It is still to this day one of my favorite movies of all time, and that's saying a lot because I'm about to turn 70!

James Spader series you were talking about is "The Blacklist" as Raymond 'Red' Reddington. James Spader was also in a great satirical lawyer series with William Shatner called "Boston Legal"

I forgot there's a "Kowolski" in this, but there's always a Kowalski in like every American military style movie. I guess it's the most common Polish last name.

This was the first movie I watched as a kid at the cinema , the SFX of going through the Stargate on the big screen blew my mind like a VR rollercoaster

Loved this movie as a kid. I admit it was about 2 or 3 seasons into the TV series before I sat down and finally watched that. Now, the Stargate universe is one of my absolute favorites.

After the movie, Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin talked about doing a sequel but that never materialised and they moved onto other projects. Meanwhile the Stargate project ended up in the hands of the guys who went on to produce the TV show, which starts off one year after the events of the movie and ran for ten seasons, with a couple of TV movies and the two spinoff series Stargate Atlantis and Stargate Universe.

It's a crime that this was never continued in cinema. What an absolutely insanely epic trilogy of crazy proportions this could be. I wouldnt want them to do it today, though, it would be woked to death.

SG-1 is one of my favorite tv shows growing up, Canadian actor Michael Shanks takes over Spader's role of Daniel Jackson, and Richard Dean Anderson (of the original MacGyver series) takes over Russel's role of Jack O'neil.

Stargate is one of my favorite universes. Just like Star Trek it's mostly really smart people cooperating well. Atlantis is probably my favorite but they are all great in their own way. I have rewatched SG-1 almost as many times as I've rewatched Buffy. Oh and yes, nearly all good TV sci-fi in the late 90s and to some extent still today was all made in Canada. Stargate, Battlestar Galactica (best TV show ever made), The Expanse, The Travelers, personal favorite Van Helsing and countless more. All having Canadian actors and guest stars that you would probably recognize even more than me.

I remember when Stargate came out. Every day I saw the poster in front at the local theater when I returned home by bus. When the film was released VHS, I rented it and watched with my family. My father was so enthusiastic at the end that he said: "Where did you get this movie from?" 😄

I still binge and rewatch the television show now and again. Peak late 90s TV.

Oh man watching the Stargate TV show with your dad sounds like a great memory

My favorite James Spader role is in "Boston Legal" His chemistry with William Shatner is amazing!

Catherine is played by Viveca Lindfors, a Swedish actress who had a career going back to the 1940s, including “The Adventures of Don Juan” with Errol Flynn. She’s also in “The Sure Thing” with John Cusack and Daphne Zuniga, which should be on your “to see” list.

There’s a meme out there I love about this. ‘Joined Space Force. Still got deployed to the effin desert.’

James Spader is an amazing actor. Absolutely loved him in Stargate and Boston Legal.

Richard Dean Anderson only took the role on Stargate SG-1 after he insisted they give O'Neil a sense of humor. He thought it would be boring trying to play Russell's stoic, brooding version of O'Neil every week. Jack was at a conference one time and he mentioned to someone that there was another Jack O'Neil, but "he spells his name with two L's." in reference to the movie. lol

22:43 Looks like Cassie just proved Arthur C. Clarke right *”Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”*

Ok... now in prep for the show. Russell Dean Anderson (the original MacGyver) will take over playing Jack O'Neill, he's a lot funner. Think of it like the Big Trouble, Little China reference becoming his primary personality. Michael Shanks will take over playing Daniel Jackson from James Spader. He's actually going to do an incredible job of being very much like him (even though he's clearly younger), eventually he will make the character his own but it comes across as incredible character development. The cast from Abydos, will reprisal their roles. Now there will be minor (and I stress minor) lore changes between them, Abydos is now not on the other side of the universe but only a few dozen light years away (one of the closest stars). This was done make the space travel more believable (Ra's ship shouldn't have been able to go that far in just 10,000 years). The alien design for Ra's species gets changed (saved budget and made them taking over human bodies more believable too... the alien design is more parasitic now) You will also get 2 other new leads. Samantha "Sam" Carter, played by Amanda Tapping, who is both a fighter pilot and physicist. She'll become one of the best written female characters in a science fiction series ever. The actress actually told the writers to just writer her as a regular character and let her figure out how to add the femininity that would be occasionally needed. Plus she was huge on as close to accurate science as possible, so she didn't come off as an idiot spewing babble because she knew fans would care. This resulted in the writers hiring real physicist. The actress also went on to producing and directing episodes in later years too. After that doing the same with other scifi/fantasy TV series too. Then Teal'c, an human hybrid warrior of another Egyptian "God", who realizes they're not gods and hates serving them but sees no alternatives besides slowly building his own resistance movement. The pilot, and first 5 seasons, were made by Showtime, the next 5 and spin-offs [and direct to DVD films] were made by Sci-Fi (later Sy-Fy) Channel. Anyways Showtime wanted nudity, it's only in the pilot episode though, so prepare for some extra editing in two scenes. However the producers (and were against it from the beginning but you can't tell the people paying for the show no unless it's gonna lose them viewers) and test audiences hated the nudity (so thankfully they could tell Showtime they tried it but it didn't work), so it won't repeat. Stargate SG1, Stargate Atlantis, and Stargate Universe all get better with nearly every season. So give each time, they all get better and better. I will say Universe has a darker tone than the other 2. It nearly rivals Star Trek, Star Wars, and Dr Who in the amount of content it has... and Amazon just bought the rights, and they're figuring out right now how to bring back the series. It's only not happened yet because of covid and then the writing/acting strikes.

I watched this in Korea with subtitles when I was around 13, I think. My mom took me and my brother to the video tape rental shop in the neighborhood time to time back then. We got to watch so many Disney's, and Hollywood movies. For some reason I chose stargate and I LOVED it right away. It Immediately became one of my favorite movies. Then we moved to US few years later and I got to watch the entire TV series starting from Season 5 or 6 and re-runs of the previous seasons. I could not wait for the new episodes on Fridays. I was glued to the TV for hours when the Scifi channel was doing a marathon for a day or something. I learned so many expressions from the show. Where else would I learn when to say something like "For crying out loud!!" or "Indeed." Also, the fact that they are team of people who has different professions helped widening my vocabulary spectrum as well. I mean if you watch something like House MD, they almost always talk about medical stuff, and almost nothing else, but SG-1 had a Soldier whose vocab is colorful, a archeologist who does not shut up, a scientist who speaks, well, science, and a jaffa who does not speak much.

"Give my regards to King Tut, asshole." Very good movie that launched one of the best Sci-Fi series ever, "Stargate SG-1"! Highly recommend checking out the series when and if you have the time, great cast with amazing chemistry, not to mention great writers, creators who actually wanted the show to be as scientifically accurate as possible, despite the whole premise of the show being based entirely on theoretical physics. Also, if you like Kurt Russell you really should watch his performance in "Soldier" (1998), barely says anything the whole movie, but even then his acting is just astonishing... That and his character is a BADASS!

22:40 "They've got magic?" Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. -Arthur C. Clarke's third law

22:03 The moons here are just 2 super-imposed copies of our own moon at two different angles LOL

Lol, near the Hollywood Sign and behind the Griffith Park Observatory, there's a back road that goes into a tunnel. The producers used props to make it look like the access to the military facility in this movie. I remember it so well because I grew up in that neighborhood (Los Feliz, The Greek Theater, etc.)

"Who's a nerd now?" with the hand gesture to push the thick glasses back up on the ridge of her nose. Solid 90's reference. Has she really been pretending to discovering nerd culture while being a nerd this whole time?

Ra keeps the kids around so that he has a viable host to inhabit if his present body is too badly damaged, or if his sarcophagus fails to reinvigorate him. It's something that most of his species do as a precautionary measure.

I watched this movie when I was a kid, with my Dad and then when the TV Series came out, we watched it every Friday night. Some of my most cherished memories of my Dad are because of this franchise.

21:07 "Can we just try . . . a bunch of different symbols and . . . _hope_ it works?" Yep! Flaw in the script there. There are only, what, 30 symbols on the gate? So it wouldn't take them very long to try them all. It's not like they'd have to try every combination of all seven symbols, which is what they were facing before Jackson found the carving. (Of course, there are other events now in motion that would complicate things regardless!)

Incredible movie that spawned my favorite tv-show of all time.

Whoa, Cassie is finally getting deep into the sci-fi genre!😮👏

The Blacklist was the tv show with spader being called Red, he was also great in Boston Legal.

The "high priest" in the village also portrays the head librarian in Cairo in The Mummy with Brendan Frazier and Rachel Weisz

Another sci-fi series journey begins.... I guarantee you will love Stargate, Cassie! This precedes one of the best sci-fi television series of all time, Stargate SG-1, followed by Stargate Atlantis and then Stargate Universe.

Ok, how do we get her to watch all of Stargate lmao

It's such a great idea for a movie. Then came the show. It adds so much more lore to the story. It is TOTALLY worth it!!

In 1994 this was such an out-of-the-blue, standalone scifi movie and it was great. I'm so glad they didn't make a sequel and I'm equally glad they made Stargate SG-1. In my head-canon it's in a parallel universe to the movie because there are some minor changes that make it work better as a serial.

6:10 Mark! That officer plays a country music singer in an episode of "Star Trek: The Next Generation"! 😂

Spader was also the voice of Ultron in the MCU, as well as being the lead n the show The Blacklist.

The ending scene is awesome and nostalgic. Saying goodbye after becoming unexpected friends and then crossing the portal to new adventures.

34:06 - all your questions are answered in SG-1!

One of the COOLEST Things about the Stargate itself is that the massive jet of silver liquid and the opening spiral that fires out of the gate when it first open where all PRACTICLE EFFECTS! Done with a simple trick of shooting into reflective clear water at an angle! So glad you're watching this classic! Enjoy!

I watched this when it came out. I was in linguistics school and a bunch of us went together. We laughed when the guy said, "you're the linguist, talk to them" because that is exactly how people think about linguists.

I love the movie, but to me it’s particularly special because it inspired my favorite tv series of all time, Stargate: SG-1. I know 10 seasons may seem daunting but it’s truly an amazing sci-fi series with compelling characters, and I hope you’ll one day watch it from the start.

Kowalski. She had to mention those penguins. I laughed every time they said his name. 😂

Great movie with an even better TV series called Stargate SG1(10 great seasons), Stargate Atlantis(Jason Mamoa"Ronin" of Aquaman is a big part of the series!), didn't really watch Stargate Universe. I loved this movie!

It's funny that she feels bad about not recognizing actors in certain roles she liked, but it's probably the highest compliment you can pay an actor.

I have very warm memories of watching the TV show. JAFFA, KREE.

This was a Roland Emmerich film, same director as Independence Day that he made 2 years later after this. Thats why the individual spacecraft look so similar between these two films

Been waiting a long time for this reaction video. Remember seeing this movie as a kid. Fell in love with the TV show years later. Really hope we get some more Stargate in our future.

I was in Hollywood in 1994 and they had the Stargate hoisted above the box office of the Grauman’s Chinese Theater with a laser shooting through.

Can we just take a moment to recognise the amazing score by David Arnold. Whats even more amazing is that this is his first big score. Amazing work.

The show you were looking for Cassie in the beginning is „The Blacklist“! There is where James Spader is Raymond „Red“ Reddington, a brilliant and smooth criminal that “helps” the FBI solve some cases, and help himself of course with it! A very good show most of the time!
