"By Grabthar's hammer... what a savings." That is still to this day one of my favorite movie line deliveries. The amount of vitriol and self loathing Rickman was able to squeeze into that line is absolutely amazing.
+Nitpicking Nerd Basic scriptwriting. It goes through a three-part sequence of meaning: first the empty bravado of the original TV line, then the horrible experience at the stereo store, and lastly the redemptive declaration to Quailig. Triple beats are one of the basics of writing a movie.
One of things that Galaxy Quest doesn't get enough credit for is being very accessible to people who haven't watched Star Trek. I have never seen an episode yet I understood pretty much every joke. Even if Star Trek itself didn't exist, the plot to the movie still works because of the excellent world-building.
They didn't skimp! They got ILM for the space effects and Stan Winston for the aliens and creatures. The CGI is amazingly good too, considering how hit-and-miss it was back then.
"Is there air? You don't know!" One of the few films to ever actually address this rather important factor when landing on a new planet. So many good moments in this, and one of my favorite Rickman performances.
I think my favorite part is when Rickman is like "Could they be miners?" Shalhoub "Sure. They must be 3 years old." Then Rickman responds "Miners. Not minors!" and Shalhoub says back "You lost me." lol
This movie is simply amazing in every way, giving a tongue in cheek poke at fandom and at the same time be a homage to that same fandom. The actors all do an amazing job, perfectly balancing slightly over the top performances with glorious professionalism, not to mention that each of these characters have more substance, story arc and soul than what all the characters in modern Star Trek and Star Wars have put together. And then there's Alan Rickman.... It still breaks my heart that he's not with us anymore, such a great actor. His passing was a true loss, he truely was one of a kind.
I have long said what makes this movie so brilliant is that it mocks so much of fan and science fiction culture, and then turns around and uses it at every turn, including using the fans to save the day. And even when it is mocking them, you still get the feeling that the writers are themselves those kind of fans so they are doing it with so much love. It's never mean or vicious, allowing us to laugh at ourselves.
Alan Rickman was one of my all time favourite actors, my hubby and I used to say he'd be the ideal person to go out to dinner with. He died 6 months after my husband, of exactly the same thing. Hope they finally did get that dinner. Man, I love this movie!!
Honestly, when Alan Rickman sadly passed, everyone was posting about what Snape meant to them or Hans Gruber being awesome but it was Dr. Lazarus, for me... Truly underappreciated film
That's what was funny about everything written about him when he died, no mention it little mention is galaxy quest. I can't even watch him in Harry Potter without thinking" hey! It's Dr Lazarus!"
I love how this movie combined nerd culture along with satirizing Hollywood. My favorite moment is when Sigourney's character blows up because someone says that it's annoying that she keeps repeating the computer. "Look, I have ONE job on this lousy ship! It's stupid, but I'm going to do it! Okay?!"
@@RedstoneCommand You might not know working rules in Hollywood. I think he was refering to that (and that line might refer to that)... There's a guy to bring a glass of water, and NOBODY ELSE can do it, and he has NOTHING ELSE to do...
@spencerkagen1386 the originating script has a hard R rating. Really blood n' guts and everyone was supposed to swear like a boat of sailors. The scene with the crushers still has the footage where Weaver says "Well, F--- that." but was recorded over in ADR.
"The greatest Iago of a generation, and look what I am reduced to" - Alan Rickman (Galaxy Quest) "Thirteen years with the Royal Shakespeare Company, and look what I am reduced to." - Patrick Stewart (Star Trek: The Next Generation) Yup, he really said that while on all fours, trying to talk to (in his words) "the oil slick that ate Denise Crosby".
@@mja2317 The X-Men were anything but little known. It was actually the book that kept Marvel from completely folding for years. Not to mention it was a hit cartoon series in the 90’s, years before the movie came out. I’m not saying this makes sense out of Stewart’s decision to play Prof.X, just that it wasn’t an obscure property at the time.
I re-watched this movie after Rickman died. I wanted to see him in a movie where he wasn't a bad guy, or who died in the end. It's funny hearing in interviews how much he loved this role, even though he played a character he HATED his role.
This is such an amazing movie. It strikes the perfect balance of not taking itself seriously while simultaneously giving an emotional story with sincere performances. And what a perfect cast.
They've stayed friends over the years. Quellek's actor was even one of the last of the crew to see Alan alive. He just claimed he'd had a stroke. He didn't want them to worry.
Well, then hello Joshua. Although I'm more of a Voyager fan who thinks TNG and Enterprise was also pretty good. Also also, I don't hate this move, but I think it was only okay.
@@devenjordan9667 My dad is the opposite. Been a Trek fan all his life and hated this the first time he saw it. Now he just kind of tolerates it when I insist on pulling it out.
When my late husband or I would get into a situation where one of us was randomly pushing buttons, trying to figure out how something worked, the other one, after fruitlessly urging caution and consultation with the directions, would inevitably shout, "Is there air!? Do we know?" We'd laugh, then the other person would usually go back to pushing buttons randomly to see what happens.
There's a cinemagic near me that plays old movies on thursdays. They did this a few weeks ago. They played Indiana Jones, Spaceballs, Gremlins, tons of old '80s movies. And they have beer.
"Hey, I'm on the brute squad." "You ARE the brute squad!" Frickin love that movie. And you're right, the fact that it doesn't get more recognition is inconceivable! :-)
One of my favorite trailers you guys have done in a long time, Alan Rickman is an absolute treasure in this movie, and this is honestly one of my favorite Sam Rockwell performances.
Interesting fact: the scene in this movie when Tim Allen overhears the haters in the restroom was based on an actual encounter in which William Shatner was in a restroom at a convention and overheard two teens dissing Star Trek.
@@TearingDownIdols Might not have been a Star Trek convention, per se, but a more general convention, like GenCon. Invite multiple panels from different shows, Star Trek, Lost in Space, Babylon 5, etc.
One of the few movies that I can watch again and again and still find funny. This one and Pink Panther Strikes Again both are brilliant and absolutely hilarious.
One of the sad things you guys missed in this documentary, was how much the stars of OTHER sci fi shows, like Babylon 5, Farscape, et al loved this movie because it was so true about the actors. The guys at B5 never stopped talking about it.
The review this brilliant movie deserves. My favourite moment (of many) is when Rickman's character revisits his tired old "Grabthar's hammer" catchphrase on the death of his alien friend, but this time manages to imbue it with so much emotion. Genius.
"The crew even includes the Mythbusters"... well, y'know, they WERE always bringing up how they had "more than 30 years of special effects experience between them".
I adore this movie and always rewatch it. Guy's insecurity like the sitcom, Fred's calm attitude and romance with Laliari, Laredo getting told to learn flying when the ships in danger, dinner, the kids getting blown off, and the great, late Alan Rickman who I have loved since seeing him in Prince of Thieves.
Such a genius job making comedy with all the different personality types in this film. Rickmans serious theatrics, Rockwells arrogance and paranoia, Shaloubs chill, and the rest...not to mention the Thermians and fans. What an amazing feat to put this all together.
I remember in my youth accidentally watching this movie. I can't remember but me and group of my friends were supposed to see this other high budget movie, but, tickets were sold out, so we ended up watching Galaxy Quest. I was going in not expecting much, and was actually expecting to be a boring movie, but OH BOY was i wrong, i was surprised during that time how much i enjoyed it. My expectations were low, but the movie turned out to be great, and STILL watching this movie till this day.
@@FinisiusMaximus How can you? The whole movie was full of swearing until they retroactively decided to make it PG-13 and used the TV-friendly ADR for the theatrical release.
@@sirien.neiris I saw the original on UK TV many years ago so it's certainly around, but my DVD only has the redubbed version. Perhaps both versions were released and I just happened to end up with the PG version?
Film was originally supposed to be rated R, but if I remember right they changed their minds during the editing process because it didn't add anything/fit the tone properly.
The only honest trailer that made me tear up. Alan Rickman, gone but not forgotten. Say: "You broke the ship, YOU BROKE THE BLOODY SHIP!" in his accent, please
Sam Rockwell said they were trying to work out everyone's schedule to do a sequel series on a streaming service, where the Thermians would reunite the crew again, but then Alan Rickman died and the sequel series was put on indefinite hold.
Please say: "Does the rolling help?" It's always been a favorite line of mine from this movie. XD I've always loved the hell out of this movie. It's brilliant.
"The crew even had the Mythbusters..." *pauses video* Wait a second.... Adam Savage (model maker: ILM) Grant Imahara *(chief model maker: ILM)* Was Grant........Adams boss?????
I count myself blessed for having grown up with this movie. We had it on VHS and when our video player packed it in, it was playing this movie. I can't think of a better way to go
I was so ready to laugh and laugh at this long awaited Honest Trailer for one of the best movies of all time, period. And I did until you said "the late great Alan Rickman" and then the rest of it got really blurry for some reason.
Also, someone started cutting onions right away. I think I was just upset that no movie has come close to the epic perfection that was Galaxy Quest. The A-list cast made a great movie legendary. I'm honored to have experienced it.
Just rewatched this yesterday. lol this movie still gives me goosebumps. Especially when they find out the ship is real. Never give up never surrender!!!
I saw this movie in a random cable channel without any expectation, and I just love it! This was one of the best rent choices that you could have made in a blockbuster store on that time.
My dad showed this to me when I was little, before I even ever watched an episode of Star Trek, and it was one of the best things I ever watched. (I guess it makes sense that I watch Honest Trailers for movies ive never seen)
Me, lying: I almost cried at when he gave a hardcore thank you to Alan Rickman Me, being honest: I shed a tear when he gave a hardcore thank you to Alan Rickman
Dude, I caught this in the middle of the day on like Comedy Central or something and fell in love. Don't ever remember seeing trailers for this in theaters, would have loved to see it on the big screen.
What always amazed me about this is how a widely differing in style actors blended so perfectly in this flick, it really is underrated, its funny, good action, and good story, actually better than some Star Trek originals.
@@edwarddore7617 From the Galaxy Quest Wiki page: “Acclaimed writer-director David Mamet, in his book Bambi vs. Godzilla: On the Nature, Purpose, and Practice of the Movie Business, included Galaxy Quest in a list of four "perfect" films, along with The Godfather, A Place in the Sun and Dodsworth.”
This movie was so funny. Perfect Star Trek parody. I remember seeing it with my dad (huge Star Trek fan) in theaters when I was 13 and he was just roaring with laughter.
I remember hearing that after this thing came out, Jonathan Frakes flat-out told Patrick Stewart to get to a packed theater on a Friday night to see it. :-)
"By Grabthar's hammer... what a savings." That is still to this day one of my favorite movie line deliveries. The amount of vitriol and self loathing Rickman was able to squeeze into that line is absolutely amazing.
I loved how in the end he said it with love to his fan
It certainly prepared him well for Snape.
I agree completely. Even the phrase, "what a savings" is so baffling to me and is played so straight, I absolutely adore it.
+Kelarys Funny has to be played straight in order to be really good. Humor, like horror, lives in the listener's mind.

Love the respect they gave to Alan by not giving him a joke title. 🤗
In an Honest Trailer about a movie about the power of fan-mania they realized what rabid fans would have done to their channel if they had.
@@MandleRoss or maybe they just respect the man for his tremendous talent. also the fact that he was an all around stand up guy.

True. But that’s at least partly because almost everything from ST got copied a thousand times by other shows.
"My character doesn't even have a name, I'm just 'guy'!"
Painfully underrated flick.
"You have a name Guy."
"DO I? DO I?!"
@@KnightsaysNi lmfao man I gotta see this again!
"My character's not even important enough for a last name!"
Guy's breakdown in the shuttle is one of the funniest scenes ever.
"Is there air?! You don't know!"
That has to the most positive honest trailer Screen junkies has ever published.
And I agree completely.
Because even Screen Junkies couldn't talk bad about this movie
Their Honest Trailer for the first Guardians of the Galaxy was also pretty positive.
What I like about Honest Trailers is that they're really fair and... honest.
When a movie is good they acknowledge it.
Deadpool was also very positive.
The visual effects on this movie held up really well. Considering its 20 years old and a comedy.
They didn't skimp! They got ILM for the space effects and Stan Winston for the aliens and creatures. The CGI is amazingly good too, considering how hit-and-miss it was back then.
I saw it again just recently, and they really, really do. I was amazed.
So true,better than a lot of movies nowadays..
Spaceballs also had great effects
It never felt like a 20 year old movie until you pointed out.....damn time flies
"Is there air? You don't know!"
One of the few films to ever actually address this rather important factor when landing on a new planet. So many good moments in this, and one of my favorite Rickman performances.

"And when your movie needs a bumbling washed-up TV actor with a massive ego, you call Tim Allen." 1:25 😂😂
Also, The Marvelous Mr. Monk was PERFECT!
It never dawned on me that Monk was in this movie, although I love both.
@@jimscribner8314 wow. This movie is why I watched Monk!
I didn't get the The Marvelous Mr. Monk until I saw your comment! 🤦🏽♀️ I love him in TMMM
This movie was groundbreaking:
The nerd doesn't even wear glasses!
Must have been illegal at the time, too. ;-)
"That's not what she said" Oh sheeit I never noticed that XD
I remember the f-bomb dropping in the theater. The whole audience just fell the hell out. Great moment.
@@FinisiusMaximus How can you? The whole movie was full of swearing until they retroactively decided to make it PG-13 and used the TV-friendly ADR for the theatrical release.
@@jsharp1701 is the original to be found?
@@sirien.neiris I saw the original on UK TV many years ago so it's certainly around, but my DVD only has the redubbed version. Perhaps both versions were released and I just happened to end up with the PG version?
Film was originally supposed to be rated R, but if I remember right they changed their minds during the editing process because it didn't add anything/fit the tone properly.
The only honest trailer that made me tear up. Alan Rickman, gone but not forgotten.
Say: "You broke the ship, YOU BROKE THE BLOODY SHIP!" in his accent, please
Yes! Say it!!
It's really hard to laugh and cry at the same time, but I managed it.
Absolutely love Galaxy Quest. It hardly gets talked about enough in the sci-fi community. The screenplay is a work of genius.
Not often you see a movie full of talent. Well executed, with actors and directors who seem to have loved making it.
“For all we know that’s Destiny’s Child”😂😂
Imagine a spinoff series that’s just the Thermians going around acting like they’re the Enterprise crew and being really bad at it.
Thats discovery isnt it?
@@spodula basically.
@@spodula truer words have never been written
@@spodula
😂 👍
Sam Rockwell said they were trying to work out everyone's schedule to do a sequel series on a streaming service, where the Thermians would reunite the crew again, but then Alan Rickman died and the sequel series was put on indefinite hold.
Please say: "Does the rolling help?"
It's always been a favorite line of mine from this movie. XD I've always loved the hell out of this movie. It's brilliant.
"that was a hell of a thing"
Mine is “I see you managed to get your shirt off” 😂🤣
It helps!
Where's your gun?
I honestly get a little misty every time I hear “by Grabthar’s hammer....”
"... What a savings."
For serious.
One of the best and most underrated movies in an already legendary year full of great movies.
After watching this trailer, I ordered “Never Surrender” and then just rewatched Galaxy Quest. My eyes are leaking!
3:42 I hoped you guys would do this, but I never expected you’d actually do it. This man was a legend 🙌🏼❤️
"Is this movie genius or did I just smoke whatever Tony Shalhoub is on?" Hah! Love this movie, love this commentary. :3
That cracked me up. Haha
“Just a hardcore thank you to Alan Rickman”. Pour one out, Internet.
The Alan Rickman comment.
I'm not crying. You're crying.
"Wait, is The Orville ripping off Star Trek or Galaxy Quest?"
Don't feel bad The Orville doesn't know.
Top 10 questions science can't answer
Simple answer: YES!!!
Why not both?
_All_ of Star Trek, which _includes_ Galaxy Quest.
The creator says Orville is an homage to Star Trek but with a comedic twist.
'Tis the season to respect Alan Rickman's dive off of the Yakatomi building.
i will be watching Hans take the plunge in 5 days (its my Christmas Tradition)
Honest trailers needs to do a honest trailer for “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.”
YES!
Agreed
or Babylon 5. I've always preferred the original over the copy...
Yeees!!
@@sirien.neiris Lol naw. B5 sucked.
I literally teared when Alan Rickman said "By Grabthar's Hammer, by the Sons Of Warvan , you shall be avenged"
By Grabthar's hammer... wh- wh- wwh-- whaaat a savings
By Grabthar's Hammer... you couldn't wait for your shirt to come off?
a line that any true nerd knows by heart and can quote at any given moment of crisis or emotional distress...and truly mean it
When he stepped into his role while Quillik was dying. Brilliant actor all around. Missing him, bigtime.
"The crew even had the Mythbusters..."
*pauses video*
Wait a second....
Adam Savage (model maker: ILM)
Grant Imahara *(chief model maker: ILM)*
Was Grant........Adams boss?????
He made Craig Ferguson's robot skeleton sidekick.
Grant is a robotics expert, so it makes sense he would be in charge for that project.
I count myself blessed for having grown up with this movie. We had it on VHS and when our video player packed it in, it was playing this movie. I can't think of a better way to go
Please say: "By Grabthar's hammer, by the suns of Worvan, you shall be avenged."
pretty sur hes dun it ova da yrs. ...
He won’t do it. He won’t say that stupid line ONE MORE TIME!
@@Blucham The show must go on.
Love the repartee!
Please say "By Grabthar's hammer... what a trailer."
They couldn’t even make fun of it... that’s how you know it’s quality
Honest Trailers: Thank you, Alan Rickman.
Alan Rickman: Obviously....
Ob..vious...ly.
Exactly how it sounds in my mind 😂
"Hey get a room guys"
"Woe!"
"Hey Fred"
"Hey Fred"
"Oh, That's not right ! "
I was so ready to laugh and laugh at this long awaited Honest Trailer for one of the best movies of all time, period. And I did until you said "the late great Alan Rickman" and then the rest of it got really blurry for some reason.
Also, someone started cutting onions right away. I think I was just upset that no movie has come close to the epic perfection that was Galaxy Quest. The A-list cast made a great movie legendary. I'm honored to have experienced it.
I know, cant explain it. The video must lose quality after a bit.
I blame you Honest Trailers.
Just rewatched this yesterday. lol this movie still gives me goosebumps. Especially when they find out the ship is real. Never give up never surrender!!!
"Nipley" almost made me spit out my coffee 😂
I love that I got this comment to 69.
"Let's get out of here before one of those things kills Guy!"
Best movie ever
I saw this movie in a random cable channel without any expectation, and I just love it!
This was one of the best rent choices that you could have made in a blockbuster store on that time.
"Just a hardcore thank you to Alan Rickman" Did...did I just get feelings from an Honest Trailer?!
My guess at the title was “Farce Scape.” So proud of you all for being able to make Never Surrender.
You know you lived your life right when the Honest Trailers guy is giving you props👌
"Let's get out of here before one of those things kills Guy."
Alot of the jokes in this movie is very subtle.. thats one of my favourite lines. Really brilliant movie
"Where are you going?"
"To see if there's a PUB!"
My dad showed this to me when I was little, before I even ever watched an episode of Star Trek, and it was one of the best things I ever watched. (I guess it makes sense that I watch Honest Trailers for movies ive never seen)
Me, lying: I almost cried at when he gave a hardcore thank you to Alan Rickman
Me, being honest: I shed a tear when he gave a hardcore thank you to Alan Rickman
Same, also how are you in every comment section I ever go in.
Same you are not alone
I also shed a tear whenever Alan rickman got mentioned
If anyone deserves a tear for a heartfelt thank you, it's Rickman
Dude, I caught this in the middle of the day on like Comedy Central or something and fell in love. Don't ever remember seeing trailers for this in theaters, would have loved to see it on the big screen.
Really, one of the best films made ... I watch it at least twice a year.
What always amazed me about this is how a widely differing in style actors blended so perfectly in this flick, it really is underrated, its funny, good action, and good story, actually better than some Star Trek originals.
such a fabulous movie - and it is true, everyone who sees it, loves it!
Mmm, not everyone. Although I'm probably gonna revisit it.
I remember when my boyfriend told me: "Wait, you haven't seen this movie? You're gonna love it". He was right :D
@@alandgomez5905 it is silly fun, but you have to like silly
@@IvyHilts :)
Yeah, just about everyone.
David Mamet said that Galaxy Quest is one of the best films ever made.
Amazing. That guy's no slouch.
Did he really?
@@edwarddore7617 From the Galaxy Quest Wiki page: “Acclaimed writer-director David Mamet, in his book Bambi vs. Godzilla: On the Nature, Purpose, and Practice of the Movie Business, included Galaxy Quest in a list of four "perfect" films, along with The Godfather, A Place in the Sun and Dodsworth.”
This movie was so funny. Perfect Star Trek parody.
I remember seeing it with my dad (huge Star Trek fan) in theaters when I was 13 and he was just roaring with laughter.
So does anyone else say "by grapthar's hammer what a savings" in Rickmans tone when they see a crappy sale?
frebuf I'm still waiting for someone to get that reference when I do. :(
Every time Menards has their 11% off sales...
No.
No.... *looks down and kicks a rock* because I can't do the voice.
I remember hearing that after this thing came out, Jonathan Frakes flat-out told Patrick Stewart to get to a packed theater on a Friday night to see it. :-)
