This movie launched one of the best Sci-FI TV series ever.

In this, Ra wasn't a god, just an advanced species playing god

As a stand alone movie, Stargate is good, the series makes the franchise one of the best sci-fi ever made.

"He's giving up his career, his future to stay here".... He was was.being laughed at by his peers.....homeless....two.suitcases of property. His future is in the toilet. A beautiful sexy wife...peaceful community not corrupted by bs of the time. There was no choice.

As a kid who loved Egyptian Mythology and Sci-Fi, this movie was one of my favorites growing up. The TV series “Stargate: SG1” takes it to another level. Fun fact: Stargate was the first film to ever have an official website on the internet

Let's clear up a few mistakes in your understanding: - Colonel O'Neil may be somewhat suicidal because of what happened with his kid, but he's still a military man defending his country/planet first. So, he's going to do the mission, and is willing to die for it. - Ra is not a woman. That's a guy. He has some very effeminate features. - Ra is not an actual god. Just an alien who was able to transfer themselves into a human body. The ease of repair makes it so they can live in them almost indefinitely. - Ra is actually the aliens name. When he came to earth he touted himself as a god (and with his advanced tech, the primitive society would believe it). Thus Egyptian mythology was created around aliens pretending to be gods. (Bonus with only a tiny spoiler from SG-1: Egyptian mythology isn't the only mythology created around an alien race. WATCH THE SHOW)

Im sure somebody pointed this out, but the actor playing Ra is male. He was cast because he could pull off an "androgynous" look, which makes sense because in Egyptian mythology, the gods are often androgynous or have both male and female forms

Seeing Daniel go through the Stargate on a big screen with a great sound system in the theater was incredible! One felt like they were going through with him.

Tears came to my eyes when the Stargate was activated, it brought back the nostalgia of all those years watching Richard Dean Anderson (the original MacGyver) and his team in countless adventures on the unforgettable Stargate SG-1 TV show that lasted 10 seasons and spawned 2 movies to conclude the series and 2 spinoff series. Great time to be a kid/teen.

Ra is Ra. The Egyptian god Ra was supposedly based on him, not the other way around, that was the point. Also he didn't had supernatural powers. He had a spaceship, a fancy dress and gadgets like the one used to fry brains (basically the same Joker has). Regarding an earlier comment, they wouldn't have "GTFOd instead of going exploring", they literally had to find the coordinates to return to Earth.

It’s funny how Ra’s backstory referred to a “boy, curious and without fear,” but Mary kept saying “she”. Jaye Davison was a great female impersonator.

Eric Avari is a supporting actor. In addition to playing Sharee's father he also appeared as the librarian in Brendan Frasier's The Mummy alongside Rachel Weisz. 😂 The symbol on Daniel Jackson's necklace is the Eye of Ra, the sun god. The Egyptian god in a tomb suit is a Jaffa. They are the warriors used as cannon fodder by the Goa'uld. The Goa'uld are alien parasites that possess host bodies in their conquest of other worlds using both the Stargate portal network and their own starships. The sarcophagus technology The Goa'uld use to prolong their lives and to heal any injury also affects them in a negative fashion. I got to see some of the costumes up close as well as behind the scenes stills for the Stargate Movie. The studios often use San Diego Comic Con to promote new movies or tv shows. 😂 You should give the pilot for SG-1 - Children of the gods - a view just to have a taste of the show based on the movie. 😂

I saw this in the theaters on release and rather liked it, I never could have guessed that it would spawn one of the longest running sci-fi franchises in television history, but the setting did end up being conducive to lots of world building when transferred to the small screen.

It's not a she, it's a he. (Ra) Daniel told the story that Ra found a young boy and took over his body.

The villain was played by Jaye Davidson, who did only 3 movies his entire career, and was Oscar nominated for the Neil Jordan-directed THE CRYING GAME (1992).

21:37 "Where is the Stargate here?" They walked through it when they arrived.

To think that this movie launched a decades long franchise that included multiple TV shows and movies

Horus, one of Ra’s guards, was played by Djimon Hounsou in one of his first movie roles

Ra is played by Jaye Davidson (a male) and confusing his gender is a meta joke in it's self. But I won't spoil it, if you know you know.

I know it probably won't happen, but if you're interested I highly recommend the series 'SG1' and even the spin-off of the spin-off 'Atlantis'. Stargate ran on TV about 15 years, with three shows and two other movies based on SG1. I do highly recommend you check them out someday! 😁

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." -Arthur C. Clarke.

There's another one you're familiar with. James Spader, who plays Daniel Jackson, is the voice of Ultron in Avengers: Age of Ultron.

One of my favorites. Stargate SG-1 is on of my favorite scifi series.

The TV series is the greatest show ever, as are the sequel series.

The TV series Stargate SG-1 picks up where this ends. Ra is dead. Imagine the soldiers' surprise when more alien guards march thru the Gate wearing different helmets than these. It's worth watching the series if only for yourself. The TV series also tweeks some concepts.

My dad loved the TV series Stargate SG-1 as he was a huge sci-fi fan. I miss him so much. 😢

James Spader who plays Daniel Jackson is the voice of Ultron in the mcu

8:09 "Oh, she found it. I thought she stole it." Potato, Potahto.

Richard Dean Anderson of "MacGyver" fame plays Colonel O'Neil on the "Stargate SG-1" television series.

YES!! ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES EVER! THIS CHANGED MY CHILDHOOD!

A lot of people agreed that there was so much more... that's why there was multiple TV series.

Now you just have 10 seasons of the TV show to watch! 🤣

Stargate Command is kind of like a vault...it is under the Cheyanne Mountain Complex...or NORAD.

I was lucky enough to see this in the cinema. The Egyptian motif and the soundtrack made it quite unique amongst other scifi movies. It looks gorgeous. I did enjoy the tv series as well.

Mary! If you're ever interested, the TV series based on this movie, "Stargate SG-1," was one of the most entertaining sci-fi series ever. It ran for ten years.

The whole “just needed to learn the vowels” is correct. Ancient Egyptians didn’t write down vowels, so all we got are consonants. The vowels we have to guess based on offshoots of the Egyptian language, but they could be very different, especially on another planet where the language evolved differently

The character Ra in this is male and the actor portraying him is male.

It is funny that so many people saw this movie when it first came out and got confused thinking it was TIME TRAVEL and NOT related at all to DISTANT PLANET travel. However, the TV series did MUCH BETTER at conveying the concept of "distant planets" as the key element to remember. AND, did a much better job at launching the "Star Gate Franchise" that STILL has a very active fanbase in discussions and at conventions.

sounds like Stargate SG1 would be right up your alley

If you like the movie, you’ll love the series!

"This god is pure evil" Me: " Worse ones come to mind like: Sokar, Anubis, Replicator Sam...."

Don't ever apologize for giving your honest opinion. One thing I really hate is when reactors say they love everything just to try to appease the masses.

Stargate SG1 expands the story Daniel Jackson and Jack O'Neil and history of God alien of Egyptian legends. you might enjoy a watch.

This has one of the most emotional and heartbreaking scenes with no real dialog. Jack had gone into his son's room to kill himself. The pain on Kurt Russell's face was so telling.

Did you know that the actor playing Daniel, James Spader was also the voice and character of Ultron in Avenger's Age of Ultron.

They made a bunch of changes for the show: - Instead of being in a distant galaxy, Abydos is actually fairly close to Earth. - Ra wasn’t humanoid. They’re actually snake-like parasites. - Pretty much everyone just speaks English in the show to avoid wasting valuable episode time on linguistics. The alien language was simplified to just a few words and phrases. - The Jaffa (alien warriors) now wear full body armor to avoid showing blood when they get shot. Sparks from bullet impacts are more rating-friendly

I love the part where they first emerge from the other side of the Stargate and Daniel turns around, sees the pyramid and says, "I knew it". The series that is based on this movie is also fantastic (actually several iterations of Stargate, but SG-1 is the best).

The Stargate storyline did have potential and that gave birth to the highly successful Stargate SG-1 TV series (10 seasons) and its spinoffs: Stargate Atlantis and Stargate Universe, plus the animated Stargate Infinity. As for Kurt Russell, he was was a child actor that became a teen heartthrob for Disney with films like The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes (1969), Now You See Him, Now You Don’t (1972), and The Strongest Man in the World (1975). He then transformed into an action star beginning with his iconic role in John Carpenter’s Escape from New York (1981). Needless to say, Russell is a diverse and quite a talented actor. He’s had a really successful career. I’d recommend the aforementioned Escape from New York, Silkwood (1983), Tequila Sunrise (1988), Tango & Cash (1989), Backdraft (1991), Captain Ron (1992), Tombstone (1993), and Executive Decision (1996). I think the earliest film I remember James Spader in was Tuff Turf (1985) with a very young Robert Downey, Jr., and Escape to Witch Mountain (1975) star, Kim Richards. He then went on to do Pretty in Pink (1986) with everybody’s teen crush, Molly Ringwald. He then did Mannequin (1987) with Kim Cattrall. But his breakout role was in Steven Soderbergh’s Sex, Lies, and Videotape (1989), which was also a breakout role for his costar, Andie MacDowell.

I saw this as a kid and realized Col O’Niel wouldn’t shoot because Ra was using human shields. How does a grown woman miss that obvious set up and call him a psycho?

If you ever decide to get into the series either on your channel or on your own time, I highly recommend that you watch Stargate: Children of the Gods which is the re-edited pilot episode that they made to smooth out of the rough edges of the pilot.

This movie launched a series much loved by sci-fi fans - several shows in fact. The first season effects leave a bit to be desired, and it took maybe have of the first season to get it's legs under it, but if you're a sci-fi fan I can say it is well worth a watch.

This is a movie that could use a reboot. Can you imagine Denis Villenueve doing Stargate?

James Spader voiced Ultron in Ironman 2.

The military has what is called: "inactive reserve". And while on it, you can be called up at any time. (So keep your uniforms in good working order and tailored)

Highly recommend following up with doing Stargate SG-1. It is well worth it.

if you enjoyed this check out the show Stargate SG-1 really fleshes out the characters expands the lore over 10 seasons (longest continuously aired sci fi show ever) and 2 more tv movies

Ra wasn't a god just a more advanced species than humans when they stumbled upon them so he portrayed himself as a god. “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Arthur C Clark

Seeing this opening day with the theatre have just installed and using the new dolby dtx sound system was incredible. The stargate sequence blew everyone away.

29:06 I highly recommend watching Stargate SG-1 it's a great continuation(with slight retconning) of the story though the characters are recasted. I'll say for his race Ra is actually pretty reasonable, evil certainly but far more reasonable than most of the rest.

I liked this movie. But you're right about it being a little slow paced, with good potential. That's probably why they made it into a TV series.

Kurt Russel's finest performance: The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes (1969)

As a kid I saw this in theatre's was classic my dream is to have worm hole technology

Awesome reactions to this superb sci-fi movie, Mary Cherry. English male model and actor Jaye Davidson played Ra in Stargate 1994. Jaye made his on screen debut in the classic film The Crying Game 1992, for which he received an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor Academy Award.

Glad you gave an honest opinion. Not everyone likes everything to the same degree. I liked the movie, but it wasn't great. I liked the series, but I'm a nerd and enjoy 90's sci-fi tv cheesiness. Keep being honest. It's more entertaining that way.

"Oh. she found it... I thought she stole it" clearly you've never been to a museum.

The intros for movies in different eras are usually due to whatever agreement the studios and the SAG union (Screen Actors Guild) etc have in place at that point. For instance, there might an agreement today whereby credits can be shown only at the end of the movie....or the rule might be that a certain type of credits must be displayed at the beginning of the movie. The intros usually have nothing to do with artistic expression....the types of intros are usually due to whatever agreement is in place between the workers' union and the movie studios. And as those agreements are oftentimes re-negotiated every few years, you will see intro credits change in movies/TV shows ever so often to reflect whatever agreement was in place at that time.

'Tomb suit,' I love it.

I don't think many people will hate your opinion. The movie is solid but the show is significantly better.

Monica Huppert was the MUA on the Stargate series, filmed here in Vancouver-that's why every planet they visited looked like a west coast forest! She was the union head for make-up, and has a pretty impressive catalogue of work. She's also a nice person!

Stargate was one of the first movies I can remember seeing in the cinema as a kid (my parents took me to see others before that, but they were usually boring so I don't remember them). It blew my mind that there could be aliens with advanced technology, who could travel across the galaxy, and who came to Earth in ancient times and took people away to be their slaves and etc., and I just thought the story was pretty cool. But more importantly, it made me think about those other sci-fi movies I'd watched before, made me think of them in a new light, and made me want to watch more sci-fi movies, read sci-fi books. Basically, this is the movie that got me hooked on sci-fi. And then a few years later I heard a rumour somewhere that they were making a Stargate TV series, which I watched religiously when it finally came on TV, and that's been my favourite TV series of all time. Highly recommended if you've got a spare couple of years to watch all the episodes of all the seasons and spin-offs.

The guy who directed independence day directed this. That's why the epic finales

The first scene outside of the TEMPLE with the TWO STANDING COLUMNS is still buried in the sand in the countryside of ARIZONA. It was made out of 2X4's & Painted PLYWOOD. The Doorway was only deep enough to HIDE THE ACTORS in the DARK SHADE as they walked out of the doorway. It would have COST TOO MUCH to tear it down & haul it away. That's HOLLYWOOD!

I'm surprised you couldn't find who did the makeup for the movie. The imdb site says the following about the makeup department: Lisa Collins ... makeup artist Denise Fischer ... additional hair stylist Lori Guidroz ... hair supervisor Ursula Hawks ... hairdresser (as Ursula Ward) Dennis Liddiard ... makeup artist: Mr. Russell Beth Buckwalter Miller ... key hair stylist (as Beth Miller) Greg Nelson ... key makeup artist Katherine Rees ... assistant hair stylist David P. Barton ... prosthetic eye creator (uncredited) Jake Garber ... special makeup effects artist (uncredited) Elvia Mante ... key makeup artist (uncredited)

Awesome reaction Mary!! Now you have to watch Stargate SG-1, Stargate The Ark Of Truth, Stargate Continuum, Stargate Atlantis and Stargate Universe!!

Dude! Best movie ever. First time I believed the theatrical version is better than the extended cut!

Please more Star Trek.

One of my favorite "popcorn" movies. A great movie for a lazy summer day when you don't want anything to heavy, but just some action/comedy.

The SG-1 TV show spinoff of the movie is, for the most part, faster. (Sorta has to be, with 45 useable min per episode.) It ran for 10 seasons. You probably won't want to wade thru all of it, but select episodes should be entertaining.

Ok let's go

Please continue with the Star Trek franchise.

30:25 "How to kill Ra?" Answer: Hoist him by his own petard.

James Spader (Jackson) was also in the MCU sort of. He was the voice of ultron . Another 90s gem! Keep it up Mary,

Horus is a god too (ra’s son)

"Looks great for 1994" People so often forget that Star Wars was 1977 and 2001: A Space Odyssey was 1968

Two of the actors from the movie reprise their roles in the show. The chief Kasuf and his son Skaara. One other actor (the guy who originally translated the cartouche) returns in a different role in Stargate: Atlantis

The slow pacing was because of the nature of the story. We are getting slow reveals, letting us know what the deal is with this Stargate thing. The slow pace gives you time to think and wonder for yourself, between different elements of the story being revealed. The TV series is less slow paced, but does keep some of the same feel. You will enjoy it.

What about more Star Trek reactions?

Star gate is prequel to star gate sg1 anlantes please do reation to start gate sg1

This is one time where the TV series based on the movie was much better than the original film. Except for the VFX, I still think the movie was better there.

The "healing tank" is actually a resurrection pod it can fix bodies even after death but it has severe side effects on one's conscience as it begins to erode and vanish over time with its frequent use.

This is just a little dip into the Stargate universe. There are serveral Stargate tv shows including Stargate SG-1 which has 10 seasons. Stargate Atlantis is also really good and goes for 5 seasons and has one of the earliest roles for Jason Mamoa

Ra wasn't really a god. People worshipped and feared him because of his technology.

Stargate went straight to VHS in the UK, well it did have a very limited release in a few cinemas I think. I got the VHS for my birthday in December 1994. I had just turned 14, watched it that day. It was awesome.

Stargate SG1 is a series with 10 seasons and continued with Stargate Atlantis with 5 seasons. i love stargate. its very long and interesting story and so many species

Stargate was heavily influenced by all of that "Chariots of the Gods" stuff by Erich von Däniken.

I just kept shaking my head at Mary sitting there misgendering Ra constantly.

"I have no idea what this is about... It's giving ancient Egypt" Stargate in a nutshell lol

Thank you for your honesty!

The whole idea behind the "Stargate" came from the Iconians from Star Trek.
