Maybe, but do you talk like one? IF not, I am not impressed. I am kidding of course. I wish I remember the link, but there was a documentary about the making of Galaxy Quest. One part of the documentary focused on the hot termit.... I mean Thermian who had a broken translator (you know, the one who fell in love with the engineer (Monk). Apparently, when in the car the actress totally adlibbed the "YAYAYAYZA!" sound and, when interviewed, she said she regretted she didn't do it for another second or two. Interesting, fun, and useless fact.
@Jay Bond Speaking of "Monk", which was just mentioned, you might like that series. I know that you mentioned that you liked mysteries. Monk is your standard private detective show. He's a bit like Hercule Poirot, except he has EXTREME germophobia. He avoids touching things with his bare hands, etc.
"Never give up. Never surrender." Fun Fact: Despite frequent whining about his character Crewman Number Six being expendable and going to die, Guy Fleegman is the only crew member not to be shot and killed by Sarris during his surprise assault. Bonus Fact: Tim Allen admitted that he was quite star-struck when he met Sigourney Weaver, as he's a huge fan of Alien (1979). Allen even got Weaver to sign some of his Alien memorabilia between takes. She ultimately did.
She also took the role on the condition that she was a "dumb blonde." She specifically wanted to play the opposite of every other character she's done. They offered to even just have her natural brown hair, and she refused.
There is another fun fact. Guy gets a role as security chief on the new show. But in Star Trek:The Next Generation, the security chief dies in the first season.
Fred (Tony Shaloub) was originally written as a stoner. They took out most of the references to the devil's lettuce, but they decided to keep the laid back attitude. Fun fact: the in-universe TV show had the actors throw themselves around the set while the camera operator shook the camera, just like Star Trek used to do. But the command deck set for the "real" ship was built on an enormous gimbal, and the actors were actually thrown as the entire set shook like a violent earthquake. Just one of the ways they make the "real" ship feel more viscerally realistic vs the TV show ship, just like the two aspect ratio changes (4:3 to 16:9 when the convention is revealed, then 16:9 to 2.35:1 when Tim Allen is shot back to Earth in a goo pod). The actors and their characters are only loosely based on Star Trek. Tim Allen is Kirk/William Shatner, Alan Rickman is Spock/Leonard Nimoy, Sigourney Weaver is veeery distantly an Uhura/Nichelle Nichols expy, and casting Laredo as a child actor in the TV show era was a clear nod to Westley Crusher/Wil Wheaton from Star Trek: The Next Generation. But Tony Shaloub's character was a pure Galaxy Quest invention, and a lot of important Trek characters don't have Galaxy Quest representation.
Awesome, thanks! That makes a lot of sense for Fred. He definitely acted stoned. I can say, if I was stoned and all that was happening I'd be losing my mind. 😂
@@d3l3tes00n the scene where Sigourney Weaver says screw that is badly dubbed and if you watch her face she clearly said f*ck that. I can't unsee that scene now.
Shaloub was also the star of a tv show Monk. He was a PI who had memory loss due to the murder of his wife and got fired from his police job as a detective. It was a comedy drama.
Brandon's mum is so supportive, her attitude reminds me of my mum's when I overheard a conversation between her and our aunts. My siblings and I grew up watching anime and never grew out of it. Our aunts thought it was childish and absurd for almost-grown adults to still watch "cartoons", and go to conventions dressed up in ridiculous costumes. Our mum told them "better that than drugs and gangs" and she had always let us pursue our hobbies as long as they don't get in the way of school.
Galaxy Quest was probably the third or fourth best Star Trek movie of all time. This is said from someone who can vaguely remember some of the original broadcasts. "Rudimentary lathe" is a direct callback to where Kirk fought the Gorn captain one on one and had to construct a rudimentary hand cannon from iron-hard bamboo, saltpeter, sulfur, and diamonds/diamond dust.
I'm glad to see young people getting around to exploring our common film history, but hearing a grown man say 'I've never watched Star Trek' is like hearing him say 'I've never seen a naked woman.'
Haha I get it. 😂 Just never been much into sci-fi and the brief period in my life that I was, it was just the og Star Wars trilogy on repeat. I'm aware of Star Trek, I could probably name 20 characters and their actors and even get references certain episodes but all just from various pop culture tidbits picked up along the way.
One of my favourite jokes you missed was Weavers role in the original was lazily written so all she did was ask the computer questions and repeat its answers. So when the thermians built the ship the computer refused to answer anyone but her making her pointless role on the TV show absolutely vital to their survival. And she keeps repeating the computer out of habit.
Another awesome cult classic. I swear you're just picking all my old cult favourite movies to react to, don't get me wrong I'm glad they were recommended to you, as it's twice as entertaining both watching segments from great movies whilst witnessing first time reactions to it.
its a love letter to fan culture, and all sci fi. And its the best Star Trek movie, lol. but there are references to other sci fi in there. The part where Jason gets licked by the pig lizard is actually a Stargate reference.
Right on! I don't remember Stargate much but I recall watching the first couple seasons of the show and loved the first movie. Just wikipedia'd it, damn that show ran for a longer than I thought!
@@osnatashtaralevin8944 when Daniel gets woken up from unconsciousness by the Mammoth/Horse creature that dragged him over the dunes licking his face with its giant tongue.
It was fun watching you enjoy this movie. Yeah, you missed some stuff specific to Star Trek, I am sure, but there is enough for a general audience to have a good time. Yeah, Fred was stoned and had the munchies. That was Tony Shaloub of MIB (the head growing back alien) and Monk. All the characters were well-written, not stock, and all the actors nailed it. You can't help but feel happy afterwards. Great reaction!
Appreciate it. I really should have recognized Tony from MIB. I watched that movie on repeat when it came out! I am curious to check out some Star Trek but it's such a daunting task when there's so much out there. One day!
Enrico Colantoni (leader of the Thermians) was also memorable as the former sheriff in Veronica Mars(3 original seasons, a movie, and another season years later) and as a guest star in Person Of Interest.
Oh nice! I have never seen anything Veronica Mars but recall there being a lot of hype for its movie and return. I remember a big Kickstarter campaign or something.
I think this movie was tuned down to get PG rating or something. At 20:03, Sigourney's character says, "Well, screw that!" Her lips are clearly saying, "Well, fuck that!"
That guy in the back of that car is actor Tony Shaloub Yes he was that alien on the movie 🎥 Men In Black that his head blew up then grows a new one! He also plays a obsessive compulsive order detective on the tv 📺 show Monk!
The scene with the rock golem was filmed in Goblin Valley Utah. Fantastic place to visit! Great camping and hiking. And looks exactly like that. I highly recommend. It's very fun to play ailens there. But go in spring or fall otherwise it's way too hot or cold
Oh I've heard his name before but unfamiliar with him. I just looked up his IMDB and of all his movies I've only seen TMNT, Iron Man 2, and Charlie's Angels so I guess that's why I don't really know him. 😂 I'm sure that will change though as I keep making these videos.
@@JayBondReacts check him out in 7 Psychopaths and these other excellent watches: Moon, The Way Way Back, JoJo Rabbit, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (think this last one was his big breakout role)
...even Kevin McDonald from Kids in the Hall appears in last scene at Galaxy Quest conference and Justin Long's mom was none other than Susan from Seinfeld, George Costanza's wife who died licking envelopes! lol
"Galaxy Quest": The best "Star Trek" movie that Jar-Jar Abrams and Paramount didn't make. Sigourney Weaver liked the blonde wig so much that she wore it off set...all the way home.;)
This movie is a wonderful homage to Star Trek but still hilarious for those of us who aren't Trekkies, tho there are plenty of inside jokes for Trekkies, like all the stuff 'Dr Lazarus' (Alan Rickman) says to 'Commander Taggert' (Tim Allen). "I see you got your shirt off." (apparently William Shatner liked to show off his body whenever possible) At a Star Trek convention a couple years ago they had participants vote to rank all the Star Trek movies. Galaxy Quest was ranked as the 5th best Star Trek movie. The creators and stars of Star Trek love it too, and I believe it was Leonard Nemoy (not totally sure) who jokingly referred to Galaxy Quest as a 'documentary.'
This is based around the cast of the original Star Trek, but as a comedy version. However; this is known in the Star Trek universe as one of the best Star Trek movies ever made. Even some of the cast of TNG love this movie. There was a time when they did try to make a sequel or TV series, but after Alan Rickman died, this is no longer going to happen.
at the time, god knows why, many did not like this film. only now, after so long, it is getting recognition. I don't think we will be wrong if we call it a classic.
@@topomusicale5580 Yes it's a love letter and a parody. Being a parody is not a bad thing. In fact it's VERY hard to pull off a parody. So doing both. I think makesi t even better. In fact, I think it has almost as many memorable lines as "ghostbusters".
Aye, awesome! Just watched a New Zealand movie for another one of my channels, Black Sheep! 😂 My knowledge of NZ comes exclusively from Flight of the Conchords.
You know how you said the creature design reminds you of Stan Winston? All the practical stuff you see was done by him The pig lizard (inside out) being my favorite.
They are both toxic as all hell but honestly, print media is immediately dated the moment it exists. You can't get faster information than Twitter. 🤷♂️
@@JayBondReacts You can't get faster MISinformation, either! But yes, newspapers are a corollary to computer programs: "Any program, when running, is obsolete."
Hey Jay, the actor who played Mathasar was in the TV series Flashpoint and he played the character of Keith Mars, the father of the title character of " Veronica Mars"
Maybe you didn't "lose" the comedy, perhaps you just "missed" it; there's some subtle funniness in GQ. Your laugh, when some comedy hit your funny bone, was infectious!
That's a huge commitment so not sure I can do that tbh. 😂 Even just the original series has like 60+ 50 min episodes and I'd feel obligated to do do Next Generation which is 170+! 😂
@@JayBondReacts do it man. I had never watched Star Trek until about a year ago. I've now binged TOS (66-69), The Animated Series (73-75), The Next Generation (87-94), Deep Space Nine (93-99), Voyager (95-01, Enterprise (01-05), the JJ Abrams trilogy (09-16) and started Discovery (17-present), and theres more still. It was great all the way until the Trilogy in my opinion. Not that the newer stuff is bad, but it is different. So that's about 40 years of great Star Trek at least to watch. I don't think you'd regret it.
@@kyleoconnor5944 Wow, that's wild! We'll see. I don't think I could physically watch that much on top of everything that I currently want to keep up to date with.
@@JayBondReacts Because most of the Star Trek series are episodic (self contained and not something that has multi episode storylines or requires you to have seen previous ones) it is entirely possible to watch a sampling of 2-4 episodes per series and then go through the movies. The reactor Primate did a version of this. I'd be happy to assemble a watch list if you care to give it a go. (I've watched them all so many times that I could probably quote them all from memory) Or you could just follow his path. But he didn't start blending in episodes initially, so I would add a couple of 60s original series episodes to his list, especially the episode "Space Seed," which is helpful in following the films.
I'm sorry, but what ... you've never seen Star Trek ??!!?? 13 feature films and 12 TV series over the last 56 years, but you've never seen any of them. Sounds unbelievable to me.
Gotta say, I still read the local newspaper every day. Why strain your eyes to read stuff that has little to do with the world around you? Besides, I like having a more permanent record of some things.
That's fair. I guess it's the same reason books still exist even though eBooks are a thing. It just caught me off guard because I probably haven't even seen a news paper in years at this point.
Fun, nice reaction - When you're ready for a real Sci-Fi (and an excellent one at that), UNDER THE SKIN (2013) Scarlett Johansson. Maybe with a little less chat. Peace -
Haven't seen Under The Skin but that was on my list for personal watches. Not sure I'll react to it, but thanks for the recommendation. We'll see if I change my mind on that one.
@@JayBondReacts Or you can wait till somebody else does it first. And then all the reactors do it the next day. Much safer. Too bad. It's the coolest SF in decades. Stunning. Ah, well. So long.
Not sure why you're taking that personal. I have a list of about 150 movies I started this channel with the intent to do. This was recommended by friends IRL, not me reacting because someone else did it. Edit: For clarity, I did see that Jen did this movie recently but I watched this 2 weeks ago so it's coincidence. I document all my watches on Letterboxd: letterboxd.com/Bloodbath_TV/films/diary/
you should watch Star Trek. The 1st movie is slow but things pick up after. Or see the series to get the references most movies do. in most shows when they reference both Star Wars and Star Trek they normally get the facts about one of those movies wrong.
Woah, I didn't know they made 3 Star Trek movies (like the reboot ones). I feel like I'd miss out on all the callbacks from the shows and I definitely don't have time to catch up on all of that. Maybe I'll do the newer movies though! I do want to do some Star Wars as well as I've only seen the first 3 and episode 1 is a blur except for podracing.
@@JayBondReacts The New Star Trek movies make MORE call backs to the TV series then the original movies do Lets see Star Trek the Motion Picture : Plays as slow as 2001 a Space Odyssey and is a "Get the cast back together" film Sytar Trek II by far the best one makes a call back to the TOS episode "Space Seed" but you don't need to know it to follow it Star Trek 3 directly continues Star Trek II making past 2 required for part 3 and part 4 directly references part 3 , Part 4 is a lot of fun and has a setting and plot completely different from any other film in the franchise. Star Trek V can mostly stand on its own but is a bit sillier then normal Star trek VI loosely references Star Trek III but you don't need to see it to follow it. this movie sets up vital events to the rest of the franchise Generations references some events in Star Trek the Next Generation but can be enjoyed on its own and does events vital to the rest of the franchise First Contact refences the Episode Star Trek the Next Generation The Best of Both Worlds part 1 and 2 and heavily relies on you knowing that information Inserection tells its own story in a different setting then normal Nemesis sets in motion events vital to the reboots and to the rest of the franchise but otherwise can be viewed with little connection to the rest of the series even if it does reference stuff. The Star trek Reboot references multipole original series episodes in the end credits and includes facts fans know from the 6 movies and uses information set up in nemesis Star Trek In to Darkness repeats the plot of Star Trek II , still requires you to know Space Seed but alters the ending of the movie going in a direction Star trek II didn't go in. Star Trek beyond is its own story that does not lean topo heavily on information from other films The Movie Fanboys references many Star Wars films but includes super inaccurate Star Trek lore The Movie Free Enterprise references Star Trek while being inaccurate to Star Wars Star Wars episodes 4,5 and 6 were created to be viewed with NO other movies however when combined with episode 1,2,3,7,8,9, Roug One and Solo and any TV shows, books or movies the experience is enriched. star wars the force awakens does reference the old films a lot you also have to watch all Harry Potter films in order and while Marvel films don't all need to be watched in order it is a huge help to see them all before end game. MIB and Ghostusters and Bill and Ted all tell one good stand alone film then each follows up movies that lightly reference the other films with out needing you to know them. MIB and Ghostbusters have light connection to there cartoons but the cartoons are changed and separate Ghostbusters After Life does need you to have an emotional connection to the old cast where as MIB International is its own fully separate unconnected story James Bond 007 is a massive franchise where some films connect and some films stand alone. Austin Powers is connected The Planet of the apes is connected then rebooted but the reboots are connected too the 30s,40s, 50s Monster movies some connect, some do not Godzilla and King Kong some connect , some do not The two Tim Burton Batman films and the 2 after them try to connect but don't really and are separate from any other shows in fact none of the DC or Marvel movies connect to any cartoons or TV shows Spiderman reboots every 3rd movie with no TV connection Lego Batman and in to the Spidfervverse require you to know every thing those franchises did Back to the future connects all 3 films kits game and Cartoon series are unconnected the back to the future cartoon and game are separate canons TMNT every thing all in one multiverse but seeing the others only counts if you see the crossover specials police academy is 7 movies a TV series and cartoon with some characters who grow over time but you don't need to see them too in order. naked gun films you should see in order as they do have character growth gremlins has verry little connection between its two movies Short circuit it helps to see both movies. the 3rd story is actually av very long PSA not a movie Muppets have no continuity but the modern series does reference the 60s series a lot to create emotion jaws tries to have continuity but I don't think its needed. LotR you need to see every thing in order to get the full story Cheaper by the Dozen, Nutty Professor, Dr Doolittle , Father of the Pride, Parent trap and Freaky Friday are all films with multiple reboots that are all completely different stories between each reboot Dragon Ball Evalution, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, Jem, all tell stories that are different from there source material The Last Airbender tries to follow its cartoon series but breaks away from it a lot scooby Doo references its old series a lot and references the fandom's reactions Scoob references multiple cartoon shows Addams Family offers stories with no connection to the TV series and the live action and animation are separate stories and any Addams Family after the 2nd film is also separate Casper, the Lego movie, UHF, Ready Player One, Space Balls, Epic Movie, Disaster movie, Scary movie, Be kind rewind, Stay Tuned , reference multiple other films in jokes Pleasantville is about an original TV series that never existed on TV but like Galaxy Quest the characters know about the series.
