This has to be one of the best cast movies of all time, every single actor in it was brilliant, this movie had no business being this freakin good but here we are... what a great movie
I think it's really neat they encouraged improv. I heard someone say the scream when they see the aliens genuinely scared the shit out of Sigourney Weaver in the shot.
I cant say much more. I will say. There could be a reproduction of it. An you could have an actual show. But we have one. So....I know why people aren't talking about it.The Orville is a really great show.
Sure. But it never laughed at the fans. Fans know deep down how ridiculous some of the things they love are, and sometimes that’s one of the reasons we love them. But galaxy quest did someone almost unheard of now. It didn’t laugh at its fan base (fictional at the time). In recent years fans haven’t been respected very much. This really was a love letter.
Sex Sells is something for idiots. It's even stated IN THE MOVIE that stupid fans only care about sex sells and hot actors. So you're an idiot, yes? No? Yes?
@@slevinchannel7589 Sex didn't 'sell' the movie. THE MOVIE 'sold' the movie. But I'm not dead. I absolutely will take a moment to appreciate the female form when presented with the opportunity to do so. It is a simple pleasure in life, one of the most basic, in fact. I could deny my nature, but what pleasure is there in that? It's not like my appreciation for an attractive woman harms anyone. And Leo Martin's initial remark is completely valid. Sigourney Weaver looks stunning. I know some people seek to denigrate others for enjoying harmless, private indulgences, but I feel those individuals probably lead sad, pathetic lives and spew their derision out of jealousy. Or perhaps guilt. Or maybe both. So, to sum it up, you're just a hateful little troll, yes? No? *_YES._*

Tim Allen was good for the part like Seinfeld was good for his part in Seinfeld. There needs to be a "normal" person amidst all the of the comic relief that we can relate to.
This video failed to show the great acting in the scene where Taggert (Tim Alan) convinces the alien friend that they are “pretending”. Though it was briefly mentioned.
that movie was soo good in the theaters, everyone was cheering and laughing, sooo good! And it aged really really well. Never give up, never surrender!
I remember my sister and I went to see Galaxy Quest on its opening night upon its release. There were about 15 people in the theater. (The scene were Tommy brings the Interceptor out of dock, drifting to the side and having it screeching horribly remains one of the funniest scenes I have ever seen). We liked it so much, we went and saw it again the next weekend . . . and the place was packed.
I never heard of it when it was in the theaters at the time..I remember seeing Toy Story 2 and Any Given Sunday. If they would have released it in March, I think it would have made the 100 million mark.
Dominic Graziano In fact, I went with a friend to a theatre that was small because it was Gold Class and there was only room for a few people. But the others we met were SF fan friends and we rolled around laughing and enjoying because yes, we recognised ourselves in it!
I saw it in the theaters with my brother. We both loved it. And it has remained a favorite ever since. I don't know for sure whether we saw it during the 'first wave' or 'second wave', although I suspect it was the first, but there was pretty good turnout in the seats.
It pays homage to Star Trek TOS Season 1 Ep. 18 "Arena" where Kirk develops a "rudimentary" canon from a hollow piece of bamboo-type wood and elements, he finds from the planet he is on, to make gun powder and defeat the Gorn. It's a fantastic line and makes it even funnier when there's a source. I LOVE this movie!!!
For the past 5 years or so, I've got this line in my head that I can't place no matter how hard I try. I thought it was "Ohh, that's not nice" when actually it was Sam Rockwell saying "Ohh, that's not right" in this movie. So glad I watched this documentary. Still a great film and better than a lot of movies that have been made since then. It would probably win an Oscar today. :O)
When Saraas fires on the Protector, I love Guy saying "there's a red thingy.. coming towards a green thingy...I think we're the green thingy" So understated and showing how they really are just actors who have been mistaken for professional space explorers and heroes. Brilliant.
I had low expectations for this movie, but saw it in the theater. Amazingly good. Perfectly written, cast, and acted. This is one of my favorite movies. Just behind Major League, or tied, as best modern comedy movie.
Major league is fantastic. Though I do have to point out that it came out in 89 so idk if a 34 year old movie can be considered modern. Galaxy quest for that matter is 24 years old. Both are great, I'm just not sure what qualifies as modern in this case.
Galaxy Quest is an underrated masterpiece from the 90's, and one of the best Sci-Fi action adventure movies ever. It's Tim Allen's best as an action hero, Allan Rickman's (RIP) best as a supporting good guy, and among Sigourney Weaver's best.
Okay, settle down. It was a fun movie, but let's not get carried away. It's not a masterpiece by any stretch, nor is it anywhere close to being the best work by Weaver or Rickman. As for it being "Tim Allen's best as an action hero," what other action hero roles has he played?
@@johnbaxter3092 Okay, johnny boy, you calm the eff down, now. 227 likes to your 3. You may be right in a lot of ways, but so may the other guy. I love this movie a lot, just like Down Periscope. Very entertaining. Fun to watch. And I acknowledge whole-heartedly that just because a majority doesn't mean it's right, and that a lot of people may not open the replies section to most comments, 227-3 is quite a significant rift. Nice breakdown, however, on your part.
@@johnbaxter3092 As a long time Sci-Fi fan, I cannot begin to describe how much I love this movie! I don’t think you understand all the subtle references this movie makes (perhaps you do, but don't care) - humor is a very important element for me. If you prefer more serious/horror movies that is fine - it is subjective. I respect that you don’t think it is great, but I can only say I beg to differ! Each genre has its charm, and as a comedy Sci-fi this really is brilliant in my option.
bigevileworldwide1 - That may be the dumbest most off the mark comment I have ever read on the internet. It is not mocking the genre or the fanbase but rather respectfully acknowledging it albeit with humor.
@bigevilworldwide1 it's not a deconstruction or satire of the genre, its a parody.. parodies use material they love and make a joke out of it while still paying proper homage to the source material. Great parodies encapsulate and cherish what makes it great as well as what makes it weird.
This is a great movie. Blends comedy, drama, sci fi, action, and homage brilliantly. Cast is fantastic in it. Everybody involved really made the most of the concept and script. Perfect for the whole family really, something for everyone to enjoy. Fun time and heartfelt.
So true, and you just wonder will Hollywood ever learn. Have a good and enthusiastic cast, an inspired capable directer. And no interference of the suits who know best and you end up with a good product.
Best line for me was about their response to the incredulity of “Gilligan’s Island” being a “historical document” saying with straight faces “Oh those poor people”...the film was a classic - thanks for the background to it...
@@mattbutts8794 agreed and after he said I don't even have a last name zoom in on the red shirt and then pan out and everybody in the group is looking at the red shirt but they don't say anything maybe they look at each other
I remember my family looking for a movie to see in theatre. We saw the movie poster for Galaxy Quest at the theatre and decided to give it a chance. It became one of our favorite movies ever.
Everyone always joked about the Star Trek 'redshirts'. If you are beaming down with the capt and the chief engineer, and you are wearing a red shirt... you know you are dying. Guy knew his fate. Poor guy did not even have a real first name ha ha
I can see what Harold Ramis meant by “don’t cast anyone from sci-fi”. If Spiner, Frakes, Stewart or anyone from Trek was even in the background, it would pull me out of the film immediately. But Alien is SUCH a different film than either the fictional Galaxy Quest show or this movie that I never once thought “Oh. It’s Ripley.”
Well, except for the aliens. And starships. The satirical fan-base. Time travel. Severed human parts. Pyrotechnics. And the premise seemed also quite different…the only thing I can really think of is they were both very funny.
Ummm a group of actors are thrown into a real life situation that mirrors what they play. They don't realize at first that things are real. Then they reach the point where they realize that everything is real and they have to stop being cowardly actors and really do what they've been pretending to do all these years? You really don't see those similarities?
Good video. As comprehensive as it was, you left an important detail out. The weekend it was released, I believe the studio or the distributor and the largest movie chain at the time had a dispute, which caused Galaxy Quest to not be in a lot of theaters across the country. Despite there being a theater where I lived, we had to drive forty minutes to see it. I'm not sure how much this cut into it box office, but I remember it was credited at the time as severely hurting the numbers.
This movie literally saved my life. Just before watching it for the first time, my wife had commented, "If you say that "Darmok and Jilad at Tenagra" crap one more time, I shall kill you." I owe Alan Rickman a huge debt of gratitude.
@Dom LS1 I think it's only within the last couple of years that I've seen it. I don't know why it wasn't on my radar until now. Perhaps because I thought it was a spoof film but it isn't. While there are obvious references, it is more akin to the Three Amigos, people who are just actors put into a real life situation.
Sigourney Weaver never looked so good as she did in this show. and Tim Allen? He was perfect for this role he is after all the one and only Buzz Lightyear. Alan Rickman with his deadpan comments was perfect.
Every actor in this movie did their part in making it great. And, not to downplay or disrespect any of them; but a re-make of this movie without Alan Rickman as Alexander Dain WOULD be disrespectful and nothing short of a crime.
I remember the first time I saw Galaxy Quest. I'd never heard of it, before, and the blurb for it on Nextflix sounded interesting. I am so glad I took the time to watch this gem of a movie, and it will always remain a favorite of mine. (I have since lost track of how many times I've seen it, but I fully intend to buy the DVD so that I can watch it, again, whenever the mood strikes.)
"We gotta get out of here before one of those things kills guy!" "Is there air? You don't know". Ah, the unending joy I receive from this movie. I love it.
The first quote from "Gwen" Sigourney Weaver is one of the funniest lines of any movie ever that goes unnoticed by most. Second would be off of "The Water Boy" when Paul says that Bobby is the heart and soul of the team and then John adds "And the only one who could've passed that test"!
I had been sick for several days and was feeling cruddy. My sister was bored and wanted to do something. Our folks were stressed due to their jobs but felt sorry for me being stuck in bed for almost a week, so we decided we'd go to a movie. Mom wanted to see something else, but I really just wanted something fun & silly so we decided "Galaxy Quest" would be an okay enough experience to be worth the cheap matinee ticket prices. We periodically *still* talk about how much we all enjoyed this amazing movie. :-)
I’m old enough to have watched the original Star Trek series while I was in high school - Galaxy Quest was a great, wonderful movie - it was fun, entertaining and had great characters. It was a rare gem found among a long list of mediocre and sometimes awful product that comes from Hollywood.👍👍🚀🚀👍👍
Linn Haramis : I so agree! This movie is fantastic. I also enjoyed the original Star Trek series as a teen in high school and my dad really liked it too........when it was cancelled, he was very ticked-off.
I am a bit younger, but my mom was the Star Trek fan in the family and I remember her sitting us down with her so she would have an excuse to watch the show. LOL
To be honest, we love this parody, only because it respects the source and its fans. Back then it was extremely easy to make some terrible "comedy" which laughs out of everything you love about Star trek, and uses dumb one-dimensional stereotypes of fans. GalaxyQuest was a great because it avoided quick and easy mockery. Remove all jokes, and you still get a good Sci-fi movie on its own.
I love 💘 this show. Alan Rickman's deep voice still gives me chills. He is definitely missed! RIP Alan! Tim Allen is so under rated, his dry sense of humor is priceless.
i agree they both did so well in the film....when Alan Rickmans character finally accepted his role during the death of an alien and fan of him and he said the motto.....i couldnt believe i was feeling emotional during a comedy like this.....Alan was so amazing in anything he did he could switch on a dime and make you really feel the moment....and the chemistry or anti-chemistry i should say between Tim and Alan on the show was so funny.
@@mdub2000 It seems obvious, but having good actors who can convey that heart is really key. to a film's endurance. Marvel is smart not to rely exclusively on CGI and smart ass dialogue in its MCU, and bring in great actors even for relatively small roles - e.g. Mark Ruffalo, Sam Jackson - or literally small roles - i.e. Paul Rudd.
@@aquamarine99911 I agree....i loved all those actors even before they got into the MCU....especially Mark Ruffalo i was such a big fan and the whole thing he went through regarding the brain issue he overcame. Good actors can make a great script legendary by how they convey the spirit of that character.
This is one of my all-time favorite movies. I don't know how they assembled such an incredible cast with such a limited budget. It still holds up quite well.
I kind of wish they had made that TV series that was in development in 2015, but after the death of Alan Rickman in 2016, the series was scrapped, and even Sam Rockwell said it was a good concept, but it would never be the same without him.
That aside, it would be kinda cool if they did a thing in memory of Rickman. Maybe have the characters be mourning the loss of the actor, give reference to the actors other roles that were overlooked due to his popularity on the show (in a non comedic way) and get licensing for what they can to edit in imagery of actual Alan Rickman footage. If done right, could be a great way to honor him, while acknowledging he won't be joining us for the next part of this journey
"Am I to late for Alexander's panic attack?" "Let's get out of here before one of those things kills Guy" "But the animal is inside out" "And it exploded" "This episode was badly written!" Really is one of my favorites and very underrated. Great story and direction, plus the cast put it on the line and delivered a hilarious comedy that turned into a pretty damn good movie by the end.
I LOVED this movie. One of the most UNDERRATED flicks out there. A completely original parody idea. In an age where EVERYTHING is copied these days, this movie was super refreshing.
J S I had never seen anything like it that comedically spoofed a sci-fi show like Star Trek. Unless you’re counting Spaceballs. But even then it’s two completely different movies.
@@PapiSorrels One example is how Futurama did it famously with DOOP, with star captain Zap Branigan and Kiff, as did a lot of other cartoons and comic books.
I'm glad they never made a sequel - it would've been impossible to top perfection. Galaxy Quest was simply brilliant - I must have watched it a dozen times now.
I could see them do a sequel, and even have it revolve around Nesmith having to deal with Alexander Dane's (Dr. Lazarus) unexpected death, how it soured his passion for the revived (and now cancelled) Galaxy Quest show, and how the new adventure has to get him over this loss.
"its a rock! it doesnt have any vulnerable spots!" "i know! look around you, can you form some sort of rudimentary lathe?" lmao! this movie has so many memorable one liners. and its really difficult to say who was the best actor. they were all so awesome. definitely one of the most underrated comedies of all time.
We suggest the construction of a rudimentary lathe as the solution for every problem in our home. I don't know who I liked better, Rockwell or Rickman. And of course, Tony Shaloub! This movie succeeds on every level. Love it!!
When this movie came out, everyone I talked to - even the nerds who actually liked 'Star Wars' and 'Trek' - looked at me like I was nuts for recommending this to them.
There’s about ten movies, that if I happen to come across while flipping through the channels, I end up watching it. Galaxy quest is one of those movies.
My family calls them the 'drop the remotes'.. as in drop the remote control. It doesn't matter what part of the movie it's on.. we're gonna watch it. Shawshank Redemption is one of them. Beetlejuice is another. Ghostbusters. Back to the Future. And of course this one. You get the idea. 👍🏻😊
Fun Fact/Story: After I watched this with my friends back then we decided to watch it a second time with the alien language on. Yes, the DVD had language track for the entire movie where everyone is speaking in this hilarious alien voice! So, we were watching it and after a while the novelty wears off. Since we already know what will happen and what they say, we watched it as if this was our mother tongue. Then someone entered the room that didn't know the movie ... he watched us for some seconds, then shook his head, walked backwards and closed the door without saying anything! He probably thought "Oh these nerds, what kind of silly crap are they doing again, who will ever understand them?" :)
When this came out in '99, I remember NOT wanting to watch this - until a buddy of mine highly recommend it! A few months later I bought my first DVD player... galaxy quests the first DVD I've ever purchased.
@@Clwalker00 Many of the population audience won't be able to go see that (R) movie. Sure millions will be garnered but millions will be not made by those that are minors. It might be a sticky situation if a new movie got made. And with death and some actors getting old, well I see it with a new batch of actors. Nope, no sequel for this movie just like no sequel was made for Gone With The Wind. Once was plenty any new movie would FALL FLAT, my opinion.
@@timothyball4906 I mean like a directors Unrated blu ray. I would snap that up in a heartbeat. And no... no sequal. One and done worked very well for this movie :)
I think most of all it shows that you cannot really plan success and a lot of luck is involved. Studios should let the filmmakers do their job, for better or worse.
The best thing is that after all these years, this still plays well for fans new and old. That’s because it plays as an homage and satire. It’s damn fun.
1999 was such an unbelievable year for movies. It's really a miracle that such a hard to pigeonhole project could get traction. I had heard that it was surprisingly good, so went to see it in the first week. You better believe I was part of that word of mouth that saved it. I praised it to many doubting friends, convincing them that they HAD to see it.
@Wparker6804 That was the joke. The character he was playing was on something. He was overly mellow, took everything in stride and constantly had the munchies. Tony wasn't on pot. His character was. It's called "acting".
I (a long time Trek Uniform wearing convention attendee all the way back to when Dragon Con was only in 1 hotel) got to see this movie in the theaters. I remember laughing so much during the convention scenes people where looking at me. It will always be one of my most favorite of all movies.
Saw this in theater opening night with my fellow Star Trek nerd friends. We cheered and laughed. It was freakin' awesome. .They captured lightning in a bottle with this film.
That man is effing brilliant. "you made a perfect Gumbo, but didn't invite anyone to dinner". I wish we had more people who understood exactly what that means.
Promotion is important, but in the end, movies still have to find their own audiences. Besides, Galaxy Quest made twice as much as it cost, so it was a success. What makes anyone think it should have done better?
@@tanuki2898 The studios tanked Idiocracy because they were worried about lawsuits from fast food chains. They didnt even bother to put it out in theaters.
That happens with a lot of movies that are pet projects which get tossed around. Like Treasure Planet, which was a pretty good movie but was really badly advertised.
@@jamied1579 Goddamn, wasnt Sigourney still making Aliens movies when Galaxy Quest came out? She was 100% butch in the Aliens franchise, which makes sense for her character and setting, but in Galaxy Quest she basically was playing the past prime milf, who during her prime (when that show was running) was obviously a super hottie. I remember watching this movie and going, "wtf thats Ripley, she looks damn hot".
"Listen ... they're telling me that the the uh generators won't take it. The ship is breaking apart and all that. Just fyi ... " That scene kills me everytime.
What kills me is that moment when he walks through the background of a scene murmuring "The floors are so clean!" That's one of the most perfect stoner moments I've ever seen on film. It's EXACTLY what a weed smoker would say.
@@normturner4849 Or when he first arrives on their ship in the 'pod' and his line is an underplayed "Well that's a hell of a thing", still eating a snack.
btw, one of the funniest scenes was him trying to give himself up as an immigrant cabbie in the movie quick change"" with bill murray,geena davis and randy quaid
I bought it here on RUclips and have watched it well over 30 times. It never gets old. I still laugh at the jokes and cry at the end when the commander salutes Branden and his friends. By far my favorite movie.
@@ladygroan I thought Warvan was a legendary planet from a multi-sun system! I seem to remember that the English subtitles put it like this. Though I could be horribly mistaken...

Galaxy Quest is an underrated masterpiece from the 90's, and one of the best Sci-Fi action adventure movies ever. It's Tim Allen's best as an action hero, Allan Rickman's (RIP) best as a supporting good guy, and among Sigourney Weaver's best.
Okay, settle down. It was a fun movie, but let's not get carried away. It's not a masterpiece by any stretch, nor is it anywhere close to being the best work by Weaver or Rickman. As for it being "Tim Allen's best as an action hero," what other action hero roles has he played?
You mean her breast 😎

Okay, johnny boy, you calm the eff down, now. 227 likes to your 3. You may be right in a lot of ways, but so may the other guy. I love this movie a lot, just like Down Periscope. Very entertaining. Fun to watch. And I acknowledge whole-heartedly that just because a majority doesn't mean it's right, and that a lot of people may not open the replies section to most comments, 227-3 is quite a significant rift. Nice breakdown, however, on your part.
@@johnbaxter3092 As a long time Sci-Fi fan, I cannot begin to describe how much I love this movie! I don’t think you understand all the subtle references this movie makes (perhaps you do, but don't care) - humor is a very important element for me. If you prefer more serious/horror movies that is fine - it is subjective. I respect that you don’t think it is great, but I can only say I beg to differ! Each genre has its charm, and as a comedy Sci-fi this really is brilliant in my option.
Bloody brilliant movie. It was on free to air telly last night. We also have the dvd in the cabinet.
I love the fact that Galaxy Quest ranked higher in the list of Star Trek movies than some of the actual Star Trek movies.
It's the second best Start Trek Movie. Just ahead of the one with the whales and just behind Wrath of Khan.
imo
@bigevilworldwide1 Literally could not be more wrong. Have you even watched the movie?
bigevileworldwide1 - That may be the dumbest most off the mark comment I have ever read on the internet. It is not mocking the genre or the fanbase but rather respectfully acknowledging it albeit with humor.
@@delta7890 I appreciated star trek more after watching this film.
@bigevilworldwide1 it's not a deconstruction or satire of the genre, its a parody.. parodies use material they love and make a joke out of it while still paying proper homage to the source material. Great parodies encapsulate and cherish what makes it great as well as what makes it weird.
Alan Rickman was a genius, I love his performance!
He was great in everything he was in, more often than not carrying the whole story, if not at least elevating it significantly.
Outstanding movie, outstanding cast. Their enthusiasm came shining through. Alan Rickman, God bless you. You are sorely missed.
This is a great movie.
Blends comedy, drama, sci fi, action, and homage brilliantly.
Cast is fantastic in it.
Everybody involved really made the most of the concept and script.
Perfect for the whole family really, something for everyone to enjoy.
Fun time and heartfelt.
Exactly how I think of this movie. I totally agree with everything you said.
So true, and you just wonder will Hollywood ever learn. Have a good and enthusiastic cast, an inspired capable directer. And no interference of the suits who know best and you end up with a good product.
The Orville is the true homage.
Most of all it's predicated on love and respect for the fans, instead of a desire to mock, belittle, and lecture them
Sometimes you find a comment that totally says it all... this is one of those times.
"By Gramthar's hammer...what a savings"
Always gets me
This. Absolutely this.
Ah Alan - we still miss you. R.I.P.
Grabthar 😊
I own the film, and when Rickman says his catchphrase to the dying alien who idolized him, I tear up. Every time. Every. Single. Time.
That's my favourite moment of the movie.
"Oh I see you've managed to get your shirt off!"
On the other side of the coin, the aliens running kills me every time. Stay well.🙂
It so cliche and yet. Like you i'm like omg the dust in this room. I'm not crying your crying!!!!
Lyon Reese I do too. I wait for that spot just so I can hear Alan Rickman speaking those heartwarming words.
Miss Weaver has a habit of being unconventionally sexy in just about every role she's had. She is one attractive woman.
And looks AMAZING as a blonde!!!!!!
Like I said, a sexy blonde in a catsuit version....what's not to like.
Here...here!
You should see her in the movie "Ice Storm"...….HOT!!
Somewhat uncomfortably in Snow Cake. Oddly enough, also starring Alan Rickman.
Hands down one of the greatest movies ever produced. Thank you Galaxy Quest cast, for providing us with this awesome homage to everything Trek.
Galaxy Quest is one of my favorite movies. It's pure gold!
Best line for me was about their response to the incredulity of “Gilligan’s Island” being a “historical document” saying with straight faces “Oh those poor people”...the film was a classic - thanks for the background to it...
Best line for me was Weaver totally buying into Sam Rockwell's "redshirt" mentality: "Let's get out of here before one of those things kills Guy!"
My favorite line was when Guy says, "Can you form some sort of rudimentary lathe". Hysterical! Definitely one of my favorite movies!
"Let's get out of here before one of those things kills Guy!"
I don't even have a last name!!
They really needed to put him in a red shirt.
That was great
@@mattbutts8794 agreed and after he said I don't even have a last name zoom in on the red shirt and then pan out and everybody in the group is looking at the red shirt but they don't say anything maybe they look at each other
LOL! One of my favorite lines! =)
I remember my family looking for a movie to see in theatre. We saw the movie poster for Galaxy Quest at the theatre and decided to give it a chance. It became one of our favorite movies ever.
Adding the character “Guy” to this movie was genius, they thought of every last detail to get this movie right .
Sam Rockwell just makes everything better. He was perfectly cast.
He's the foil-- he's just like Adam Eget to Norm Macdonald. Every good hero needs a clumsy and terrible sidekick, or bumbling fool lmao.
“We better get outta here before someone kills Guy....”
@@tishtashtishtash that was easily my favorite line in the movie...
Everyone always joked about the Star Trek 'redshirts'. If you are beaming down with the capt and the chief engineer, and you are wearing a red shirt... you know you are dying. Guy knew his fate. Poor guy did not even have a real first name ha ha
I can see what Harold Ramis meant by “don’t cast anyone from sci-fi”. If Spiner, Frakes, Stewart or anyone from Trek was even in the background, it would pull me out of the film immediately. But Alien is SUCH a different film than either the fictional Galaxy Quest show or this movie that I never once thought “Oh. It’s Ripley.”
I missed Jonesy the cat 😸
well, not until the duct scene
Galaxy Quest and Tropic Thunder are great comedies with a similar premise and different settings.
Don't forget about "Three Amigos"!
@@SchlyterMia ah, thank you sir.
Well, except for the aliens. And starships. The satirical fan-base. Time travel. Severed human parts. Pyrotechnics. And the premise seemed also quite different…the only thing I can really think of is they were both very funny.
Tell it to Coach Tomato
Ummm a group of actors are thrown into a real life situation that mirrors what they play. They don't realize at first that things are real. Then they reach the point where they realize that everything is real and they have to stop being cowardly actors and really do what they've been pretending to do all these years?
You really don't see those similarities?
Galaxy Quest....Still better than 99.9% of modern "serious" Sci-fi movies.
Better than new trek and star wars by a long mile.
@Jeffery Amherst, I totally agree.
Sadly, true.
Good video. As comprehensive as it was, you left an important detail out. The weekend it was released, I believe the studio or the distributor and the largest movie chain at the time had a dispute, which caused Galaxy Quest to not be in a lot of theaters across the country. Despite there being a theater where I lived, we had to drive forty minutes to see it. I'm not sure how much this cut into it box office, but I remember it was credited at the time as severely hurting the numbers.
I loved the movie, it parodied Star Trek without being insulting.
I think it’s because it’s a loving parody, not a hateful one. It absolutely comes through that it comes from a place of love.
@@tookitogo I think Shatner would dissagree, but he deserves it!
@@deejarvisful Are you kidding? Supposedly, Tim Allen and Shatner became friends because of it.
@@tookitogo Right, it was a loving parody of Star Trek, as opposed to, say, everything J.J. Abrams did.
p3.orion Yep. To me, JJ Abrams is the King Midas of turning things to shit: everything he touches becomes a turd.
By Grabthar's Hammer, I shall never give up, never surrender my love for this love letter to us, the fans of Galaxy Quest.
Travis King What a savings.
@@Custerd1Alan Rickman was genius in this film. And yes, Tim Allen acted well. As well as the rest of the cast.
This movie literally saved my life. Just before watching it for the first time, my wife had commented, "If you say that "Darmok and Jilad at Tenagra" crap one more time, I shall kill you." I owe Alan Rickman a huge debt of gratitude.

@Dom LS1 I think it's only within the last couple of years that I've seen it. I don't know why it wasn't on my radar until now. Perhaps because I thought it was a spoof film but it isn't. While there are obvious references, it is more akin to the Three Amigos, people who are just actors put into a real life situation.
@Dom LS1 But the space setting allows for a lot more possibilities. It still amazes me who they got for the cast. I'm glad they were all up for it.
Never give up! Never Surrender! Damn the resonance cannons, full speed ahead!
Sigourney Weaver never looked so good as she did in this show.
and Tim Allen? He was perfect for this role he is after all the one and only Buzz Lightyear.
Alan Rickman with his deadpan comments was perfect.
I loved the fact that she kept the wig on when not filming.
I can't imagine any of those other actors nailing it as well as Tim did.
Yes 🍒🍌
They had such great actors amd every single one nailed it
Springboard 19 If you need a washed up TV actor with a big ego, no one’s more perfect for that role than the tool man.
This movie is such GOLD! Never been so excited about something I've watched like 2 million times
6:25, Alan Rickman is still awesome even though he's no longer with us.
Amen to that!
Poorly worded my guy. Why does the fact he's no longer with us possibly not make him awesome? He's awesome period.
Alan Rickman was awesome, it's a shame he's no longer with us.
Every actor in this movie did their part in making it great. And, not to downplay or disrespect any of them; but a re-make of this movie without Alan Rickman as Alexander Dain WOULD be disrespectful and nothing short of a crime.

I remember the first time I saw Galaxy Quest. I'd never heard of it, before, and the blurb for it on Nextflix sounded interesting. I am so glad I took the time to watch this gem of a movie, and it will always remain a favorite of mine. (I have since lost track of how many times I've seen it, but I fully intend to buy the DVD so that I can watch it, again, whenever the mood strikes.)
This movie shows the care that some of the newer remakes of larger franchises lack.
Never give up, never surrender!
"We gotta get out of here before one of those things kills guy!" "Is there air? You don't know". Ah, the unending joy I receive from this movie. I love it.
"it's the little things in life that we cherish most..." *smile*
LOL. I quote this line to this day. :D
The first quote from "Gwen" Sigourney Weaver is one of the funniest lines of any movie ever that goes unnoticed by most. Second would be off of "The Water Boy" when Paul says that Bobby is the heart and soul of the team and then John adds "And the only one who could've passed that test"!
The quote about Guy is one of my favourites in the movie along with 'minors not miners' 😂👍👏

I had been sick for several days and was feeling cruddy. My sister was bored and wanted to do something. Our folks were stressed due to their jobs but felt sorry for me being stuck in bed for almost a week, so we decided we'd go to a movie. Mom wanted to see something else, but I really just wanted something fun & silly so we decided "Galaxy Quest" would be an okay enough experience to be worth the cheap matinee ticket prices. We periodically *still* talk about how much we all enjoyed this amazing movie. :-)
I’m old enough to have watched the original Star Trek series while I was in high school - Galaxy Quest was a great, wonderful movie - it was fun, entertaining and had great characters. It was a rare gem found among a long list of mediocre and sometimes awful product that comes from Hollywood.👍👍🚀🚀👍👍
Linn Haramis : I so agree! This movie is fantastic. I also enjoyed the original Star Trek series as a teen in high school and my dad really liked it too........when it was cancelled, he was very ticked-off.
A tad older, I was working night shift when Star Trek was on. Found it when the reran it in the afternoon. Love Galaxy Quest !
Yup, me too!
I am a bit younger, but my mom was the Star Trek fan in the family and I remember her sitting us down with her so she would have an excuse to watch the show. LOL
This IS the most underrated film I can think of.
Hell yeah, I'm surprised people don't talk about it a lot more often.
With Mars Attacks coming a close second. Lost in Space & Red Planet were not of the same standard.
Army of darkness
This and Mystery Men for me
Predator 2
I have less than 10 DVDs, this is one of them. So funny and underappreciated in its time
I loved the crew's reaction when Laredo was piloting the ship out of space dock and scraping the sides.
As a life long Trek-ie, I loved this under-rated movie! How could a Star trek fan not love a Parody of Star Trek!
As another life long Trek Fan: I'd say that "parody" is closer to the real thing than any of the new stuff made recently ... ;)
My aunt lived on Borg Drive in Sandy Utah, back when I wrote TNG.
Jay Bird You couldn’t- because it was a an affectionate TRIBUTE, not a parody! 🙂
To be honest, we love this parody, only because it respects the source and its fans. Back then it was extremely easy to make some terrible "comedy" which laughs out of everything you love about Star trek, and uses dumb one-dimensional stereotypes of fans. GalaxyQuest was a great because it avoided quick and easy mockery. Remove all jokes, and you still get a good Sci-fi movie on its own.
I love 💘 this show. Alan Rickman's deep voice still gives me chills. He is definitely missed! RIP Alan! Tim Allen is so under rated, his dry sense of humor is priceless.
Actors he's worked with have all said that Tim Allen is an underrated actor.
i agree they both did so well in the film....when Alan Rickmans character finally accepted his role during the death of an alien and fan of him and he said the motto.....i couldnt believe i was feeling emotional during a comedy like this.....Alan was so amazing in anything he did he could switch on a dime and make you really feel the moment....and the chemistry or anti-chemistry i should say between Tim and Alan on the show was so funny.
@@mdub2000 It seems obvious, but having good actors who can convey that heart is really key. to a film's endurance. Marvel is smart not to rely exclusively on CGI and smart ass dialogue in its MCU, and bring in great actors even for relatively small roles - e.g. Mark Ruffalo, Sam Jackson - or literally small roles - i.e. Paul Rudd.
@@aquamarine99911 I agree....i loved all those actors even before they got into the MCU....especially Mark Ruffalo i was such a big fan and the whole thing he went through regarding the brain issue he overcame. Good actors can make a great script legendary by how they convey the spirit of that character.
" I see you managed to get your shirt off" oh god, I died...
20 years on and I still quote Guy directly with; "Oh... That's not right!"

or "Never Give Up Never Surrender"
still quote "and it exploded"
Has it been 20 years LOL!
I KNOW... don't remind me that I'm old.

This is one of my all-time favorite movies. I don't know how they assembled such an incredible cast with such a limited budget. It still holds up quite well.
A perfect song. A perfect book. A perfect movie. They are so rare in life. Galaxy Quest is a perfect movie.
I kind of wish they had made that TV series that was in development in 2015, but after the death of Alan Rickman in 2016, the series was scrapped, and even Sam Rockwell said it was a good concept, but it would never be the same without him.
Any more random facts that you want to type out that were in the video?
That aside, it would be kinda cool if they did a thing in memory of Rickman. Maybe have the characters be mourning the loss of the actor, give reference to the actors other roles that were overlooked due to his popularity on the show (in a non comedic way) and get licensing for what they can to edit in imagery of actual Alan Rickman footage. If done right, could be a great way to honor him, while acknowledging he won't be joining us for the next part of this journey

Not really an original idea, but it was so well done it deserves recognition. This movie is great.

You nailed it, or should I say, Neil'd it. (Sorry).
@@taketimeout2share 😂
Agreed.
What would you say to an alternate sequal where the Galaxy Quest show and crew were replaced by Firefly's.
I could see them do a sequel, and even have it revolve around Nesmith having to deal with Alexander Dane's (Dr. Lazarus) unexpected death, how it soured his passion for the revived (and now cancelled) Galaxy Quest show, and how the new adventure has to get him over this loss.
"its a rock! it doesnt have any vulnerable spots!" "i know! look around you, can you form some sort of rudimentary lathe?" lmao! this movie has so many memorable one liners. and its really difficult to say who was the best actor. they were all so awesome. definitely one of the most underrated comedies of all time.

So, we were watching it and after a while the novelty wears off. Since we already know what will happen and what they say, we watched it as if this was our mother tongue. Then someone entered the room that didn't know the movie ... he watched us for some seconds, then shook his head, walked backwards and closed the door without saying anything!

What kills me is that moment when he walks through the background of a scene murmuring "The floors are so clean!" That's one of the most perfect stoner moments I've ever seen on film. It's EXACTLY what a weed smoker would say.
@@normturner4849 Or when he first arrives on their ship in the 'pod' and his line is an underplayed "Well that's a hell of a thing", still eating a snack.
btw, one of the funniest scenes was him trying to give himself up as an immigrant cabbie in the movie quick change"" with bill murray,geena davis and randy quaid
Nearly pissed myself laughing when they turned the pig lizard inside out
This is 1 of those movies I need to go ahead and sit down and watch. I've only ever heard good things about it.
Do it now. "Dew it!"
I bought it here on RUclips and have watched it well over 30 times. It never gets old. I still laugh at the jokes and cry at the end when the commander salutes Branden and his friends. By far my favorite movie.
@@Jane-yg3vz Try "Fanboys". It is basically this for Star Wars.
Jane And it is also a movie that, even from a technical standpoint, has held extremely well.
You are in for a treat ! I loved it, I am a proud Sci-Fi nerd, and laughed laughed my ass off hysterically the 1st time i saw this.
The greasy bag of snacks!! Little details like that really made this movie shine.
Loved this movie. Actors playing roles they normally dont is just brilliant. One of the absolut best mix of
comedy and seriousness ever made.
By grabthar's hammer, this was an amazing movie.
By the sons of Warvan, I do agree !
Wait... I thought that was "By the suns of Warvan..." =?
@@tomf3150 Okay - I thought it was Morvan, but it's been a while since I watched it. But I LOVE this movie...
@@MasterSandman You've lost me!
@@ladygroan I thought Warvan was a legendary planet from a multi-sun system!
I seem to remember that the English subtitles put it like this.
Though I could be horribly mistaken...
I've been looking around, and the interwebz is quite divided.
But both "The Hollywood Reporter and IMDB are quoting the line as "...by the suns of Warvan, you shall be avenged!" 🤔
