Oh so that's why he has children, I always wondered why

He thought he was badass until Chris Hansen told him to have a seat.

C North Could be the case today with the hundreds of thousands of kids missing every year.

Perhaps not. This is not the TV show. I'm not sure whether they are even called Goa'uld. They are not snake like. We don't even know how they posses people. They looked like Asgard but are not that either. So, I doubt that there is actual jumping. More like a full transfer from body to body with a device. The snake form was later made for the TV show.

Not true, Ra is not a parasite in the movie. I dont understand why your incorrect comment got so many likes.

the one is Jackal is Ra human First prime is head of the Ra's Horus Guards

The truth that you wicked pigs cannot see! BLACK EGYPT

Agreed. They are stunning. Oscar worthy

masks and costumes are really awesome, but animation was pretty cheap, even for this year. the "mechanical" unmasking version of the serie is better in my point of view

@@armann04 That is the thing the movie did much better then the series. In the movie you can clearly identify the first prime by the armor (Jackal instead of Eagle). In the tv series they changed it so you can only identify the first prime when he removes his helmet. Then you can see that he has a golden persing instead of standard tato. It felt a little bit like a demotion. Not only that , they only gave those costumes to Apophis and Horus. All other system lords had thier jaffa without helmets all the time. The only different ones ware Sokar's which later became Apophis and Anubis. The only differance between the jaffa of the other system lords ware the tatos. Its like they stopped caring and went with it. Same goes for the different languages. Only in season 1 they cared about trying to learn languages and communicating properly (as it will be in reality). Then everybody started understanding SG1 by default and speaking english. Same goes for Atlantis , they didnt even bother incorporating Latin as the main language of Pegasus. Ironically season 1 had the lowest rating , even tho it was the most emersive in terms of world buiding with different armors, worlds and languages. One of the greatest tv series but they cut a lot of corners.

It's the only sci-fi based ancient Egypt myrh

"the voice effects, CGI was pure and perfect. even for today's standarts.." I get it, you love the movie, but you don't have to exaggerate just to show this.

The CGI was awful, what are you talking about? Terrible key-framing, lack of motion blur, and the almost 16-bit colour artifacts.

​@@JustinMcVicar lol you geek head... it was not on a Jurassic Park level - which still beats like all CGI - but it was definitely a really realistic one. Why? Because it felt natural, they did not overuse it, and they used it in the right scenes when it was really necessary. The key-framing and motion blur you are talking about is bullshit, not that makes a CGI feel realistic and natural, but rather the coloring, the movements, the original lighting. You can make a "realistic looking" CGI with today's standards, but most of the time they do not feel as natural as in this movie. Good example the Jurassic Park vs Jurassic World. The latter one felt shit compared to the 25 years old original, because of the shit unnatural vivid colors - blue and purple and rainbowfart -, the shit natural lightings - mostly daylight - combined with cheap CGI lighting effects, and the unnatural fast camera movements - since the viewers' brain know that a camera/spectator could not move that fast, that way like the crappy overeffected overmoved CGI.

@RFS Korolev Actually from Season 3 onward, the CGI was pretty damn decent. You should watchit again.

So true.

It's all about the bottom line now...to hell with a good movie...I cant remember the last time I went to a GOOD movie...smh.

I agree. But with the extreme attention to detail - why are all 3 moons the same as the Earth's moon?

Poor unemployed movie carpenters....

This is 1996. Had they had the technology, they would surely used some - or rather, quite extensive - digital enhancement. It's Roland Emmerich, after all.

The Crying game.

Jaye Davidson

He absolutely detested the role though. When the movie was done filming, he ripped his costume off and stormed away, in just his undies.

ioana berbece he reminds me of the guy from 300😂

Who should play Ra if they did a reboot? I was thinking maybe Luke Pasqualino or Mark Indelicato. They have a little of Jaye's androgynous look.

So did. I will never thank my parents for taking me to see it.

Akhenaten belived that he was the son of one and only sun god. Also is depicted with both male and female characteristics. Makes sense to me!

'Alien' = inbred and riddled with genetic disease.

@@SnowdropWood Or maybe just using a genetic trace long gone.

Nice observation.

He is the only Pharoah to believe in Monotheism..

I kinda thought Russell's character was like...oh, just some dude, now's my chance to kill his azz.

Practical effects, always superior.

Practical effects my dude. They age like fine wines, unlike cgi which ages like milk.

Most men will, cowards hide behind children in war all the time, look at religious extremists all over the near East that do it all the time. Unfortunately you can't let that stop you, the blood of those children are on their own hands for bringing them into combat.

Yet later he killed the kids with the nuke

@@houstoneuler And a cat, dont forget the cat

Because he rule over them. That's how he knows.

And maybe he uses them for rituals and sacrifices like we saw in Eyes wide shut

@Create Tube But it is....

Imagine the effect all this would have on people who were not trained from childhood to ask themselves, "Real or illusion? How was this done? What's the technology here?" People who did not grow up watching the Wizard ordering Dorothy to "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!"

The CGI helmet disappearing into his sideburns just makes me laugh out loud.

And this my friends, is the enemy do your duty and make Uncle Sam proud!

It's not a helmet. It's a death mask. They didn't wear it in life time. It's for the sarcophagus.

🤣🤣

Both movies were my first experienciences in the cinema theater(6 years old at the time). I remembered I had a lot night dreams over those fantastic films.

The Mask had hot, young Cameron Diaz.

Y'know, you can praise both movies instead of tearing one down. They were both fantastic in their own way. And both stand the test of time.

​@@grizzlymelon8376 I wasn't tearing The Mask down, my friend. The mask was a funny movie...I just think it was a histrionic comedy and also think that Stargate was way better.

@@grizzlymelon8376 I guess what he wanted to say, that he could miss this masterpiece if not coincidence. But yes, Mask is completely different movie, can't compare them.

Wrong because they where black not white arabs

@Pope McFartPop It's [current year] and you still use the [current year] meme?

You're all wrong. The ancient Egyptians were from Pakistan.

@Pope McFartPop It was more or less the same race it is now. Go look at ancient Egyptian art depicting themselves and their enemies the Nubians. The Nubians WERE black and are depicted as such in their art. Their own people are depicted as a MUCH lighter skin tone, akin to modern Egypt. If you think the ancient Egyptians were black, you are deluding yourself. You can literally look at their art for proof. Seriously, it it that hard to understand? The further north in Europe you get, the paler peoples skin is. The further south you go, the darker the skin gets. Is it REALLY that hard to believe that a region in between Europe and central Africa had people with darker skin than Europeans and lighter than most Africans?

@@PumpkinHoard Yeah for some reason people think Egyptians don't have their own people. They just had the misfortune of being invaded over and over again with the last one being the Arab invasion. So now you got all these people claiming they're really the real Egyptians. It's really bad with the hotep community.

Dónde la puedo ver ???

Now Stargate is 30 years old ( 1994 - 2024).

Factual comment of the year.

انها حضارتي

نعم ولكن كان كوشير اسامة محمد

This was a standard B-movie

@@Super165i B-movie? Maybe. But standard? Not in the least.

The director spoke in the commentary how grand it was and it reminded him of the staircases in the MGM movies of old.

He almost reminds me of an elf from Lord of the Rings.

It’s all the more impressive because Jaye Davidson, even though he’d just gotten an Oscar nomination for _The Crying Game_ at the time, doesn’t like to act and only did this movie because he sarcastically asked the producers for $1 million and they actually agreed.

The music helped a lot !!! Greetings from Brasil

@@siegfriedkleinmartins7816 Muito bom.

SG1 was done without the blessings of the original creators of this movie. They actively disowned SG1, they hated the show that much and thought the show ruined their concept. Essentially this movie and SG1 are two separate and unrelated entities. Ra, in this film, was the last of his kind- there are no others.

as much as i liked the movie, the series was better imo. seems a bit silly to disown it..

They disowned the series? Wow! That's so lame. I've lost respect for the original creators.

I understand their reasons though. I like the movie and the series. But if you consider the backstory of the movie, where Ra was supposed to be the last of his kind, a member from a long lost dieing race looking for immortality. It probably was never supposed to have more than just one. But the series pretty much made him the de facto leader of a galactic empire ruled by the Goa'uld. They follow two different principles really.

Ryan, imagine you make something, then someone comes along, and takes your ideas and completely twists them and bends them into something else without consulting you at all? Just runs off with your stuff. Yeah, I think you'd disown it too.

You’re absolutely right. And you forgot the brilliant David Arnold’ score. This movie is a killer.

Yes, that is very nifty how they did that.

the actor who played ra hated the whole thing though.

@@thehantavirus he hated being famous, which is a damned shame. He obviously had talent. He was nominated for an Oscar!

Are they black ? Wtf

Why?

I agree. As a young girl, I had such a crush on him, even though he didn’t look traditionally masculine. He looked beautiful and powerful and dangerous, in a way that draws you in-until you burn.

@@milo_thatch_incarnate I would say that he is very masculine, he radiates power, domination, confidence and determination. He then masterfully mixes these traits with his beauty which I find most astonishing. An absolutely amazing performance by the actor.

@@christianriddler5063 - It's been 2 years since I made that OG comment, and I would totally agree with you now. He uses his beauty in a _very_ masculine way, that's one of the things that makes it so cool. Thanks for replying! I forgot about this video, it was fun to revisit.

@@milo_thatch_incarnate No worries :)

I wanted a hat like that.

+Geoffroy Ganzin Me too! They don't make them like they used to do they!

Herb Bees I agree !

+Geoff le Geoff damn good memory for a 4 year old :p and what the hell were your parents thinking! I can't talk... my dad took me to see "deepstar six" when I was 8! god knows how the cinema let me in. To this day lobsters and shrimps give me the heebie-jeebies for a split second... until I tears it's head off and suck on the juices :p

I saw this in the theater when I was about 10 years old. I remember seeing another movie that was in the theater next to it, and you could hear the rumble of the stargate through the walls. It was epic.

I would have been 7 when I went and it made a big impact on me. There are a few amazing scenes but who's actually watched the whole film again? :P

the only other alien he fought was the thing

:D

kurt ..

Weird edits. They were so slow back then

Cause Kurt Russel’s middle name is Badass!😆

haha

Certainly Erick von Daniken is a fan too. He wrote "Were the Gods Astronauts?" This movie is strongly based on his hipothesis

@@siegfriedkleinmartins7816 thanks, I'll check it out.

I really wanna watch the series, but can't find any services that stream it in Norway. :(

Well, the CGI could use some work for this day ans age, but the idea is cool

@@seemslegit6203 Yes what’s missing is the camera travelling a million times an hour while mini cgi explosions go off around the helmets and mini cgi superheroes fly around zapping each other. Then it will fit into this day and age.

And how do you fit it in after SG1 and co?

Its funny, when i was a kid i believed aliens built the pyramids long before stargate was out.

So Kratos has to fight that too..

Shouldn't have taken the helmet off, wasn't coffee time yet.

@M x The canonical novelization says they went back to Abydos through transportation rings before the explosion.

Nothing wrong with Super Heroes but I agree with you on the concept of this movie being awesome!

And to this day I am still wondering where the hell the helmets are disappearing to...

@@pewpewsalote8802 For the human guards perhaps, but for Ra it morphs out of his head. Some kind of nano tech maybe.

That ware nano tech foldable helmets.. whatever

MrLTiger the first guard has a compartment on his right shoulder, it is just out of view when it retracts. The second guard has a compartment on the right...also just out of view.

For 1994, even the helmets disappearing was pretty cool.

He could be right. Bible doesn't say much but there was a whole advanced civilization between Abraham and Noah's time .

ahahaha Im not a fan of the ancient alien narrative but I would love to see how Giorgio could react if he is right. I think he would lose his mind

yes

Now we are free

WHOOO?

In the movie opening credits, he’s credited as “Djimon”

The one and only

lol that's a lot of tv watching.

Well you gotta remember, TV shows usually never have the budget of a major Hollywood movie, especially in the 90's. However, I do think the effects of the show got better in the later seasons.

i agree, season 3 and up got alot of upgrades

To be fair, the show was a great deal better than the movie anyway.

It wasn't..

The budget got considerable near the end, probably 7 figures an episode. In the episode where Mitchell and company save Teal'c from Baal's attempts to take over the Jaffa Council, they were able to do a 10 minute firefight sequence with nearly 40 people.

+Daniel Titley Ra looks so BADASS in this scene! Look at him, just sitting on this throne, like "Yeah...like a F**KIN' BOSS!"

+kingskid1985 BOSS INDEED MAN!! It's just beyond an epic induction to a villain.

+Dan24 I know right? personally I don't see how people can prefer the SG1 over the film. Reducing Ra's species to a parasitic worm is a huge misstep IMO. And the guards wearing full body chainmail in SG1 doesn't look half as good as they looked here with just their headpiece and loincloth/skirt thingies... I'm sure there's enough muscle men they could have hired as extras to fit the part without needing to cover them head to foot. Jaye Davidson cast to play Ra in the film is perfect. He's a god damn beautiful man "no homo" :P not that's there's any thing wrong with being homo... I'll just shut up. Anyways despite being very feminine looking he pulls the menacing part off to a T. God damn SG1... don't even get me started on the snake heads. It's like they got a child to design that thing. I live in hope they'll reboot the whole thing one day and it be more faithful to the film and with the original creator's blessing unlike SG1. Sorry SG1 fans that's just my opinion. I did quite like Atlantis though... probably because I wasn't constantly being reminded of how badly they messed up the Egyptian mythology themed side of things when the 1994 film got it so right. As for people saying SG1 had to reinvent Ra's specie and invent the "Goa'uld" to explain why there were other "system lords" becomes the film said Ra was the last of his race... well that's just bullshit. They either weren't paying attention or they never watched the original film. "a traveler... escaping from a dying world... specie becoming extinct" paraphrasing a bit, but nowhere does it say Ra was the last of his race. Once he found humans he could have taken some on his ship for his people to possess, or thousands through the stargate, or brought what was left of his people to earth. Only reasons I can see for them adding the "Goa'uld" was the series creators wanted to distinguish them from greys and use the greys as the "good" Asgardians. That or they were more fanes of "the puppet masters"... that came out the same year as stargate. Personally I don't think Goa'uld or Asgardians should have been introduced. They should have kept it purely Egyptian greys as Ra's specie. I would have begun a sequel series to the film with Osiris and Isis coming or sending forces to investigate the dissapearance/death of Ra. Had Seth leading a rebellion against Osiris and Isis assuming power. Loads of other ideals that would more closely reflect ancient Egyptian myths. Seth and his guards could have black stealth armour and be way more cool than the Tok'ra ever was in SG1. You could have introduce family drama by introducing Horus and throughing his parentage into question... maybe Isis wasn't as faithful to Osiris as official myth would have us believe...(so Horus will switch sides and have divided loyalties). Humans thrown in the mix trying to prevent the aliens going to war in our back yard as part of Ra's territory. If you must introduce a Samantha Carter type character... I originally through Sharon Stone would have been a good film version but hell it's been so long you may as well reboot the whole cast now so that doesn't matter. Doubt the originals like Kurt Russell and James Spader would want to reprise their roles. If they do then great. Instead of a total reboot, set a sequel after where 1994 film left off and have them pass the tourch to a new team if a follow up TV series is on the cards and the original film cast could cameo if they wanted. SG1 and Teal'c doesn't exist in my stargate vision :p Horus would more than fulfill that gap in my view. That's how I would do it... enough verbal dirrhea from me now XP sorry had this pent up in my for years.

abmong Dude, your whole comment were my thoughts exactly. Awesome. While I liked SG1, I love the movie over the series ( although I haven't watched Atlantis really only like 2 or 3 episodes but I haven't watched Stargate Universe and I don't plan to). But the Stargate reboot isn't happening tho, and honestly I think I'm a bit glad of that fact. Because, what if they screw the whole movie? That's what I'm afraid of although I'd love to see what happened after or rather what was supposed to happen in the first place before the TV series started. Have you ever read the books by Bill Mccay? They look like a good read and they're canon from what I've read. But one thing I can't understand it's why the SG1 fans still try to connect the series with the original 1994 movie when obviously they don't have much to do. The Goaulds aren't a thing in the movie, nor the Jaffas are. Like, I think they simply haven't even bothered to watch the movie. Ra's guards are humans. No pouch. And none of the elements from SG1 are a thing in the movie. So I think it's a waste of time trying to connect each other when it's clear SG1 is a parallel universe. And I couldn't agree more with you about the snakes helmets. Apophis's guards always looked rather funny to me than intimidating ( like the dudes in the movie). And another thing I really didn't get to like was the language used by the Jaffas in the series. Well, aren't they supposed to speak ancient egyptian or a similar dialect? Instead they use random words and phrases like Shol'va or whatever and would yell JAFFA KREE just because of the heck of it. Well I'm being too picky I guess lol

I found a book at school and they showed a progression image of how did that scene: it was STOP FREAKIN' MOTION

lol

Well,he's definitely a weasel since he hides behind children as human shields.

"Pizza time!"

It could also be that Ra's personal guard wasn't accustomed to people fighting back.

Korath, Ultron & Ego in one scene.

Yes he didn't age well. Like Kurt Russell.

@@AltoAngelo Yeah, close to 30 years changes you. Who knew...
