So I was bored one day and started watching stargate and RA played by Jaye Davidson took my breath away. The crazy thing is I'm straight but something about Jayes presence in that movie got me hooked and I wanted to know more about him. For the rest of that day I was looking him up online and couldn't get enough of him. Their is just something about his look and acting that was of another world like he was truly an Egyptian God. He could of been huge but obviously that's not what he wanted which I respect. Another thing I liked was that he had no experience of acting but played Ra so perfectly.
+031ish You should see him in The Crying Game. He's absolutely majestic. It's too bad we were deprived of his art, but I wish he ultimately found happiness outside of the acting world.
+031ish He was one my childhood crushes (alongside Kimberly from Power Rangers, Shania Twain, and Jesse from Full House), by the time I saw Stargate, I knew I was bisexual. But Ra confirmed that my favorite type of man are those that look like beautiful women (sadly one in millions)
The only problem it depicts a dark picture of nighty Egyptian Gods which is not true. Great Egypt has created civilization, welfare and order ionour planet, too.
I regard this as Emmerich's best work, much due to the Ra character and Jaye Davidson's acting. Ra's features, manner of speech, and movement are all alluring. Rarely are male villains written with a seductive energy to them. It's so hard to keep my eyes off of him.
The Fox "Ra's features, manner of speech, and movement are all alluring. Rarely are male villains written with a seductive energy to them. It's so hard to keep my eyes off of him.", like Scar from the Lion King (coincidentally that same year).
+The Fox Yeah, Emmerichs' first big Hollywood-flick was also his best. I mean, Independence Day remains a big guilty pleasure, but Stargate is still the better film overall.
Brilliant comment. Jays was an acting genius, like the great silent stars Valentino and Garbo. He could convey so much feminine power with his expressions, and it became true art. As you said, this is Emmerich's best film because Jaye Davidson takes it to another level.
Messylin It's regrettable that he disliked the experience of working on films so much. Supposedly hated the fame that came with it, and so his two major movie appearances are this and The Crying Game.
Even though he’s speaking a conlang made from pieces of a modern decedent of ancient Egyptian you could understand the essence of Ra’s every feeling and thought. Jaye was perfect in this role!!
@@ILikeMyPrivacytbt Ra was a Goa'uld Supreme System Lord, his previous host was the Asgard named Famrir. Ra was never controlled by an evil Asgard, it is the other way around.
@@angelhernandez7636 Was beautiful, now not so much. His words were that gay like masculine men and he was androgynous too much, he cut of his hair and got tatoos, he destroyed him self and his beauty just so other gays would like him. Gues gays are not as much tolerant as they say.
@@Arianeria Are you fucking kidding me?! This movie was TWENTY FOUR fucking years ago! Who in the hell still looks the same after 24 years?! I was also an androgynous looking guy back then. Male model & actor. And just like Jaye..who is a friend of mine..I have changed over the years due to natural ageing..growing in intelligence..and changes in taste, style and personality. That's life! Not changing is stagnant and being dead. It's all about growth and moving forward to experience new things and keep growing as a human being. And the LGBT community is no different than that. I would never want to go back to being that pretty and androgynous boy I used to be 24yrs ago. Straight guys taste in women change over time too. So do women's taste in men. That has nothing to do with tolerance. And we all make changes to attract sexual partners. Nothing wrong with that either. You are judging Jaye with unfair and unrealistic standards. And I have seen what he looks like today and he is hotter and more beautiful than ever..and a good human being too. And that's more than most of us can hope for. Be happy that he is happy..and stop the criticism and unrealistic standards of beauty that force so many people today to have plastic surgery and be depressed that they can't always look like they did in their 20's.
Tech 83 Studio yeah he had a few tantrums while working due to the garments not working correctly and being very uncomfortable so he ripped a few off and threw things around and walked out. glad they made it work though its a memorable performance
I watched this as a kid and enjoyed it, but watching it again as an adult, I have so much more appreciation for Jaye as Ra. He could have been the later child for androgyny, before it even became a fad in modern pop culture. It’s interesting that the casting for the rest of this movie is so generic, but the casting for Ra is so out of the box-and perfect. He’s *so young,* and not traditionally masculine at all. He’s beautiful, and dangerous, and sensual, and powerful. And again, it’s so surprising that he played the combination of ALL of those traits so perfectly, at such a young age! Truly great movies are the ones you can love on a surface level as a child, and then appreciate on multiple new levels as an adult.
Jaye Davidson really did stand out in this film. In _The Crying Game,_ I believe he was outshone by Forest Whitaker's stellar performance and the "surprise" ending.
Damn.....ra is my kryptonite...so sad that this is my one and only villain love. I watch jaye davidson's role in stargate aaaaall the time. So fu**ing beautiful. He really killed this role.....holy shiznit!!!
im deeply in love wuth his voice, i imagine all ancient egyptian gods voices to sound like that, i wonder what langauge he is speaking?? but the actor has such presence so sexy
It's a conlang, sort of. Ancient Egyptian if it wouldn't have become extinct, and presumably if it wouldn't have developed into Demotic and then Coptic.
Sorry, but the movie and the tv show are two different universes. I know the tv show tries to connect with the movie, but Ra was not a Goa-uld, nor was he Asgard. The Asgard may be slowly dying, but the movie suggests urgency - as if death for his entire race was imminent. Besides, the species ra came from looks very different from Asgardians. Not 'what they used to look like before the cloning' but rather.... a completely different species. I really like the tv show, but it does not hold a candle to the movie. The concepts in the movie are just superior.The idea that Ra is some mad scientist from another world in which the planet and his entire race were dying... is better than a bunch of slugs on a primitive world somehow managed to infect some species of other primitive lifeforms and then ....somehow spread throughout the galaxy? It's vague at best. Movie is better, hands down. Besides, as much as I love the light Star trek tone of SG-1... darker, grittier concepts like that expressed in the movie are simply more mature, more adult and far more what you would expect from the universe. Ra didn't take over Earth out of spite, or even a desire to rule. He wanted to cheat death forever and so ruling humanity just became a necessity. Sure, he became incredibly arrogant and began to see himself as a god... but underneath it all, he knew it was just propaganda -a control mechanism to ensure he has the shit he needs to survive forever. It's just a classic story of a scientist driven mad by loss, hellbound of gaining immortality. The other is...arrogant slug parasites that don't even so much as use domination as a control mechanism..but arte actually stupid enough to believe that they are gods and should be worshipped. There's a huge different. Goa-uld on their own are primitive creatures, like those things in the tv show Origins. Animalistic and nothing more. Ra in rthe movie? Now that's a true villain. not merely some ignorant parasite, but truly cunning and highly intelligent. Sorry to rant so much, but I can't help myself when people praise the tv show more than the movie. The movie was 18+ Stargate. The tv show was for a younger audience, although the nudity in the pilot episode was nice... but obviously was immediately tonned down.
@@Kelmire1 the goauld aren't really "primitive", in fact there are some that show how actually smart and advanced they actually are, with baal as the primary example. They only really enjoy playing the part of gods to technologically inferior humans, and without impending threats to their status quo they have become stagnant as a society, then add the negative effects of a prolonged usage of the sarcophagus that results in them becoming much more aggressive and their "moral compass" being corrupted and that's how they became what they are in the show. I do agree on the fact that tv show and movie are different, like they were set in alternate realities, but the huge advantage the tv show has is the incredible amount of content it has, with sg1 alone having 10 whole seasons and the whole thing having 17 seasons and 2 additional movies (3 movies if we count Origins as well, but not having seen it I can't really judge it. I heard it's awfull). There really isn't that much of a difference in depth between the movie and the tv show, and the only reason the latter feels more lighthearted is probably because of some comedic moments, which don't erase the significance of the themes being explored
Jaye Davidson lo he Admirado como un gran Personaje Egipcio,su papel como RA es Espectacular y da la Impresion de ser de la Epoca Faraonica..no una Casualidad haber sido Elegido para Representar un dios tan Importante como Ra.El es un muchacho muy Elegante y su Caracterizacion y Vestiduras,su Mirada y Actuacion lo colocan entre mis Actores preferidos..y esa Pelicula una de mis Favoritas..
So I know im overthinking this, but as a fan of both the original movie and SG-1, something occurred to me while watching this. We can very clearly see that Ra is not a Goa'uld. Now of course this is because the writers of SG1 decided to go with that parasitic tapeworm idea instead, but what i find interesting is that not only does his form in the movie look similar to the Asgards, his story is basically the same as well; that of a dying race looking to extend their own life. So I'm thinking that he was in fact an Asgard who figured out how to transfer his consciousness into a human body. It fits since Ra was suppose to be vastly more powerful than all the other System Lords. And perhaps he decided to build ships with a different aesthetic so that the other Asgardians wouldn't realize he was actually one of their own
I hadn’t noticed that about him looking like an Asgard before. But it’s neat how they kind of played off the fully parasitic nature of the Goa’uld in that he claimed to have created the society which could be how they explained in SG-1 the Goa’uld and System Lords didn’t actually invent any tech but rather stole it from other civilizations and repurposed it to meet their needs. So it left the door open for the Ancients/Alteans to have come before Ra but that wouldn’t fit the normal narrative that Ra would have to tell as a god. Seems the developers of the TV show actually paid attention to the movie it was based on for once in Hollywood history, which could be why the entire Stargate franchise was so freaking awesome. Everything blended well, and intermingled perfectly for the most part. Dang I wish they would go ahead and get the reboot or whatever going at Amazon.
@@jacob_90s I had plenty of joy seeing the movie in the theater as a kid. But the tv series was cheesey..."Goa'uld" give me a freaking break 😂 In the movie, there were NO "system lords" or "symbiotes" or whatever other bs.
I wished the series had armor effect like in the movie. Seamless retractable metal armor. Looks so cool. Lost in space with friends dude had something similar fighting alien spiders.
Around the same time the Ancients returned to Earth from the Pegasus Galaxy via the planet's first Stargate in Antarctica. (The one seen in the movie was brought to Earth from another planet because he considered the Antarctica Gate inaccessible due to the icy conditions).
Even within the same blood type, there are enough Zootopia to sort through. These Zootopia Gameplays Zootopia MetaVerse Universe Galaxy Gameplays also have been cancelled ended.
I wonder how much knowledge Ra managed steal from his Asgard host. The Goauld didnt make any huge leap technologically near that time so either the blending didnt work very well and we know that's true given it nearly killed him and he desperately needed a new host it's possible no real information was gleaned. 2nd option is he learned everything he could of asgard knowledge including incredible secrets and managed to database it somewhere... but where? The information was fairly bew when the gate was opened to abydos so its likely Ra was studying all that he could but was the data stored solely on the ship that blew up over abydos which of course means its lost forever or was it sent to other computers and facilities run by his goauld underlings? The latter I imagine to be true and it's either sitting doing nothing noe the goauld were beaten or some low level snake head is scuttling around in the shadows with powerful tech that could maybe give them the advantage they need to become players in the game of....... 'The Wilky Way' 😈
una de mis peliculas favoritas de ciencia ficcion, tambien soy amante de la cultura egipcia y su historia, igual su mitologia; me gusta mucho este personaje Ra, y Jaye Davidson lo hizo muy bien, me encanta su androginia y que es un ser a la vez joven(en su apariencia fisica)y a la vez un ser muy antiguo, aunque en lugar de ser un dios solar como lo era esta deidad en la mitologia egipcia, lo ponen como un demonio, en algunas partes es como un angel; o en este caso es como una especie de parasito o vampiro que se aprovecha de los seres humanos para esclavizarlos en toda la extension de la palabra, de todas formas muy buena actuacion por parte de este chavo que se lleva toda la pelicula, ¿por cierto que fue de Jaye Davidson? salio en 2 que 3 peliculas y desaparecio, ¿que hace ahora?.
Creo que sigue trabajando en el sector de la moda(siempre fue asistente, creo). El año pasado se casó con su pareja, Thomas Clarke, y celebraron la boda en Alicante.
I don't remember the "North African Desert 8000 B.C" scene from the movie. When Daniel explains to his group about the history of Ra by using the paintings on the wall, this scene was shown as a flashback but not like this. Is it some kind of deleted prologue scene ?
The original opening of the movie, restored in the Director's cut. They also restored another scene where the General explains the contingency plan to O'Neil (using the bomb to destroy the Stargate if the other side turns hostile).
8:12 im confused. in the wall writings its interpreted that when he arrived on earth there were already people there. yet here he said he created the civilization ? so he did not create the people only their civilization ?
Here's my theory, I don't know, if it was ever confirmed, or not, but you know how Ra arrived on Abydos at the time the team with O'Neil and Jackson did? My theory is this. He left Earth in the Ancien Egypt era and since then was on his way to Abydos. Evidence number 1. His ship was of a lighter build, than those later in the show, he might not even have hyperdrive. Sure the show made it clear all large ships are fitted with hyperdrive engines, but the movie was made before the establishing of the lore, so in that "reality" hyperdrives didn't exist. So if it had no hyperdrive, then it had to go slowly all the way. And in the movie Abydos was very far away, something about the other end of known universe, or stuff. That's a really really long way for a ship without hyperdrive. Evidence number 2. We see him upon arrival leaving the sarcophagus. Why would he need to use it, if not as a stasis pod for a long travel? Before the lore of the show, Ra was a different kind of alien and he was said to be the last one of his dying race. So there's no need to cruise around bickering with the other system lords, who weren't existing in the movie. And with no fights, there's no other need to use the sarcophagus, definitely not for repairs of his body, since he wasn't fighting anyone. So the humans rebelled against him and during his long travel from Earth to Abydos, they developed on technological and cultural level, until 2 wars were fought and the gate in Ghiza was found and later activated by Daniel Jackson's efforts. The humans took the shortcut to Abydos, while Ra had to take the longer road.
I always wondered if that necklace was actually Ra's, and it was stolen in the uprising on earth. Then he actually remembered it 10,000 years later and took it back. He was wearing it later in the movie.
@mchibly Maybe, I do not know much about this religion, but I think that instead of "good and evil" gods, there was "peace and chaos" gods. And chaos is not always bad.
let's translate what Anubis says 5:23 Don't you even think about it! 5:26 that's... it! You... Mon-ster!!! 5:30 Ra: STOP STABBING HIM AND LET ME CHECK!!!!! I guess i got it right. if you think the translation is wrong... help me translate what Anubis says while stabbing Jack O'Neill and Ra stands up and looks at Anubis.
I know is three years late love the movie. Anubis: Don’t even think about it Anubis: How.....Dare You....dis-respect Ra: STOP RIGHT NOW AND BACK OFF Ra: STAY DOWN I recon that’s sounds more likely to me as in how they would talk
Hold on, i'm somewhat confused. This is same Egyptian boy whose body was used by Ra as a host for itself 8000 years ago? I thought the Gou'uld would need a new body, in less than a quarter of that time. I mean, I know that once the host becomes what it is, it would have extended youth and longevity, but not for such a long period of time, right?
I think that Host body thing was somewhat cleared, with Ra's previous body being an Asgard. And already an injured one. And Asgard mutations could be a hell to repair already. And I know this was a retcon, or even considered non canon. It's Wiki... And a sort of extention to a board game (which is not canon, I think)... and Reddit... whatever. Just jumping in before a butthurt fan, who starts to call everyone stupid, because noone knows this "well known fact".
The movie and the tv show are different universes. The tv show tries to connect the two, but it is still two completely different universes. Ra was not an Asgard, because the Asgard were 'slowly' dying over thousands of years. Ra's species were imminently dying. Plus in the show, the Asgard knew humanity existed. In the movie, Ra had to roam several galaxies almost aimlessly until he finally 'discovered' huamnity. I love the tv show, but the movie's concepts are far superior. Despite what the tv says or tries to say.. it's all bullshit. Ra is not a goauld and the goauld are not a thing in the movie. It's heavily implied that Ra and his immediate family are quite literally the last of his race. His species being long sinced extinct. So don't try to connect the movie and the tv show There is no connection. Like, at all. They both have stargates and there's a planet called Abydos, that's about it. SG-1 tries to be a sequel, but by retconning so much? It is not a sequel; it's a reboot.

These are all Planets infected with SimCity technological hacks, in a Zootopia Gameplay, in a Zootopia Multi-Player with all sorts of infections outside of SimCity, and Zootopia non-sense Multi-PETS Gameplays.
Ra is the last of the Elohim - aka the last surviving Anunnaki from the Sumerian pantheon of “gods.” He’s the Yahweh of the Bible. Same script different cast. This film is a bio drama of our ancient past. An illustration of how technology is perceived as supernatural - and the misuse of that knowledge to control an entire world.
Great comment. What do you mean it is perceived as supernatural? He's clearly using man-made devices in front of them and not his mind or word to do his will...
I remembered the first time I watched that movie. I was a little boy I think 5 or 6. Despite the voice if I wasn t told anything, I would have sworn that it s a girl.
You're correct. He's a biological woman with male reproductive organs. A hybrid, androgynous, non human, monster species like most on earth are. Ancient, impure, corrupted bloodlines allowed to reproduce age after age...

6:08 Ra has a Kara kesh on his foot. Imagine if he lifted his foot up to scramble someone's brains.
Strange fetish
I think that's just fancy footwear not a ribbon device.

@migns no probs ^^ :)
So I know im overthinking this, but as a fan of both the original movie and SG-1, something occurred to me while watching this. We can very clearly see that Ra is not a Goa'uld. Now of course this is because the writers of SG1 decided to go with that parasitic tapeworm idea instead, but what i find interesting is that not only does his form in the movie look similar to the Asgards, his story is basically the same as well; that of a dying race looking to extend their own life. So I'm thinking that he was in fact an Asgard who figured out how to transfer his consciousness into a human body. It fits since Ra was suppose to be vastly more powerful than all the other System Lords. And perhaps he decided to build ships with a different aesthetic so that the other Asgardians wouldn't realize he was actually one of their own
I hadn’t noticed that about him looking like an Asgard before. But it’s neat how they kind of played off the fully parasitic nature of the Goa’uld in that he claimed to have created the society which could be how they explained in SG-1 the Goa’uld and System Lords didn’t actually invent any tech but rather stole it from other civilizations and repurposed it to meet their needs. So it left the door open for the Ancients/Alteans to have come before Ra but that wouldn’t fit the normal narrative that Ra would have to tell as a god. Seems the developers of the TV show actually paid attention to the movie it was based on for once in Hollywood history, which could be why the entire Stargate franchise was so freaking awesome. Everything blended well, and intermingled perfectly for the most part. Dang I wish they would go ahead and get the reboot or whatever going at Amazon.
Sorry, but the tv series was cheesey low-budget retconned nonsense. NONE of that was in the original movie, and the movie is all that matters.
@@ct92404 you have no joy in your soul my friend
@@jacob_90s I had plenty of joy seeing the movie in the theater as a kid. But the tv series was cheesey..."Goa'uld" give me a freaking break 😂
In the movie, there were NO "system lords" or "symbiotes" or whatever other bs.
@ Kurt Russel was macht er da ?
There's a spelling mistake in the subtitles it says son instead of soon at 7:56
I wished the series had armor effect like in the movie. Seamless retractable metal armor. Looks so cool. Lost in space with friends dude had something similar fighting alien spiders.
This guy remind of Alberti Popaj got my Friend Sandra on Beauty Night.
Around the same time the Ancients returned to Earth from the Pegasus Galaxy via the planet's first Stargate in Antarctica. (The one seen in the movie was brought to Earth from another planet because he considered the Antarctica Gate inaccessible due to the icy conditions).
Jaye is such a silly savage
Even within the same blood type, there are enough Zootopia to sort through. These Zootopia Gameplays Zootopia MetaVerse Universe Galaxy Gameplays also have been cancelled ended.
I wonder how much knowledge Ra managed steal from his Asgard host. The Goauld didnt make any huge leap technologically near that time so either the blending didnt work very well and we know that's true given it nearly killed him and he desperately needed a new host it's possible no real information was gleaned. 2nd option is he learned everything he could of asgard knowledge including incredible secrets and managed to database it somewhere... but where? The information was fairly bew when the gate was opened to abydos so its likely Ra was studying all that he could but was the data stored solely on the ship that blew up over abydos which of course means its lost forever or was it sent to other computers and facilities run by his goauld underlings? The latter I imagine to be true and it's either sitting doing nothing noe the goauld were beaten or some low level snake head is scuttling around in the shadows with powerful tech that could maybe give them the advantage they need to become players in the game of....... 'The Wilky Way' 😈
Quando assisti o filme no cinema não reparei que Jackson falava o idioma alienígena😉
I am jealous of you Mr. Ra. You steal even straight guys. Why????😭😭😭.
◼️◾🔥◾◼️ I can understand why; he looked like a VERY BEAUTIFUL female, and I'm a straight man saying it.
@smukase Alright thanks, nice to hear a mature response on youtube, not used to hearing them haha
una de mis peliculas favoritas de ciencia ficcion, tambien soy amante de la cultura egipcia y su historia, igual su mitologia; me gusta mucho este personaje Ra, y Jaye Davidson lo hizo muy bien, me encanta su androginia y que es un ser a la vez joven(en su apariencia fisica)y a la vez un ser muy antiguo, aunque en lugar de ser un dios solar como lo era esta deidad en la mitologia egipcia, lo ponen como un demonio, en algunas partes es como un angel; o en este caso es como una especie de parasito o vampiro que se aprovecha de los seres humanos para esclavizarlos en toda la extension de la palabra, de todas formas muy buena actuacion por parte de este chavo que se lleva toda la pelicula, ¿por cierto que fue de Jaye Davidson? salio en 2 que 3 peliculas y desaparecio, ¿que hace ahora?.
Creo que sigue trabajando en el sector de la moda(siempre fue asistente, creo). El año pasado se casó con su pareja, Thomas Clarke, y celebraron la boda en Alicante.
Jaye is a good Character...
I don't remember the "North African Desert 8000 B.C" scene from the movie. When Daniel explains to his group about the history of Ra by using the paintings on the wall, this scene was shown as a flashback but not like this. Is it some kind of deleted prologue scene ?
Probably just edited that way by @Caliemha....
The original opening of the movie, restored in the Director's cut. They also restored another scene where the General explains the contingency plan to O'Neil (using the bomb to destroy the Stargate if the other side turns hostile).
This what every girl wanted Draco Malfoy to grow up to be.
Really? I didn't think much about how he grew up.
He does such a goid job at being ra!!!
8:12 im confused. in the wall writings its interpreted that when he arrived on earth there were already people there. yet here he said he created the civilization ? so he did not create the people only their civilization ?
i see
Here's my theory, I don't know, if it was ever confirmed, or not, but you know how Ra arrived on Abydos at the time the team with O'Neil and Jackson did? My theory is this. He left Earth in the Ancien Egypt era and since then was on his way to Abydos.
Evidence number 1. His ship was of a lighter build, than those later in the show, he might not even have hyperdrive. Sure the show made it clear all large ships are fitted with hyperdrive engines, but the movie was made before the establishing of the lore, so in that "reality" hyperdrives didn't exist. So if it had no hyperdrive, then it had to go slowly all the way. And in the movie Abydos was very far away, something about the other end of known universe, or stuff. That's a really really long way for a ship without hyperdrive.
Evidence number 2. We see him upon arrival leaving the sarcophagus. Why would he need to use it, if not as a stasis pod for a long travel? Before the lore of the show, Ra was a different kind of alien and he was said to be the last one of his dying race. So there's no need to cruise around bickering with the other system lords, who weren't existing in the movie. And with no fights, there's no other need to use the sarcophagus, definitely not for repairs of his body, since he wasn't fighting anyone.
So the humans rebelled against him and during his long travel from Earth to Abydos, they developed on technological and cultural level, until 2 wars were fought and the gate in Ghiza was found and later activated by Daniel Jackson's efforts. The humans took the shortcut to Abydos, while Ra had to take the longer road.
BANNI WEEEEEEH
Jaye Davidson played in the movie, The Crying Game.
Gordon 's alive!!!
I always wondered if that necklace was actually Ra's, and it was stolen in the uprising on earth. Then he actually remembered it 10,000 years later and took it back. He was wearing it later in the movie.
That's an intriguing thought. His memory is beyond eidetic considering most folks forget stuff in their 40s.
@mchibly Maybe, I do not know much about this religion, but I think that instead of "good and evil" gods, there was "peace and chaos" gods. And chaos is not always bad.
Light
did Jaye Davidson did anymore movies after this?
No, he didn’t want to be in the acting business. He did however have a small role in a 2009 movie called “The Borghilde Project”.
Anyone see the theory Ra was also an Asgard that used serpents for enslavement of hosts
The setting is incorrect. The area that is now desert around Egypt was not desert 8,000 years ago.
I explained.. Punishments will still be doubt.. I give You the option to be favorited in after life ...
let's translate what Anubis says
5:23 Don't you even think about it!
5:26 that's... it! You... Mon-ster!!!
5:30 Ra: STOP STABBING HIM AND LET ME CHECK!!!!!
I guess i got it right. if you think the translation is wrong...
help me translate what Anubis says while stabbing Jack O'Neill and Ra stands up and looks at Anubis.
I know is three years late love the movie.
Anubis: Don’t even think about it
Anubis: How.....Dare You....dis-respect
Ra: STOP RIGHT NOW AND BACK OFF
Ra: STAY DOWN
I recon that’s sounds more likely to me as in how they would talk
what kind of language it is? does it exist, or is it just an invention of creators of this movie? :)
This is also NOT a Yo Baseball Game Time-Line War Gameplay.
Hold on, i'm somewhat confused. This is same Egyptian boy whose body was used by Ra as a host for itself 8000 years ago? I thought the Gou'uld would need a new body, in less than a quarter of that time. I mean, I know that once the host becomes what it is, it would have extended youth and longevity, but not for such a long period of time, right?
I think that Host body thing was somewhat cleared, with Ra's previous body being an Asgard. And already an injured one. And Asgard mutations could be a hell to repair already. And I know this was a retcon, or even considered non canon. It's Wiki... And a sort of extention to a board game (which is not canon, I think)... and Reddit... whatever. Just jumping in before a butthurt fan, who starts to call everyone stupid, because noone knows this "well known fact".
akso Ra's host was quite young, this could also help
The movie and the tv show are different universes. The tv show tries to connect the two, but it is still two completely different universes. Ra was not an Asgard, because the Asgard were 'slowly' dying over thousands of years. Ra's species were imminently dying. Plus in the show, the Asgard knew humanity existed. In the movie, Ra had to roam several galaxies almost aimlessly until he finally 'discovered' huamnity.
I love the tv show, but the movie's concepts are far superior. Despite what the tv says or tries to say.. it's all bullshit. Ra is not a goauld and the goauld are not a thing in the movie. It's heavily implied that Ra and his immediate family are quite literally the last of his race. His species being long sinced extinct.
So don't try to connect the movie and the tv show There is no connection. Like, at all. They both have stargates and there's a planet called Abydos, that's about it. SG-1 tries to be a sequel, but by retconning so much? It is not a sequel; it's a reboot.
Sutekh: "Evil?! Your Evil is my good! I am "Sutekh The Destroyer." Where I tread I leave nothing but dust........... and darkness..................... I find that good....."
5:05 I'm curious as to how much of an actual plan he had
I act humble because I am humble.. When Im restored don't say we did it.. Do your job ..
These are all Planets infected with SimCity technological hacks, in a Zootopia Gameplay, in a Zootopia Multi-Player with all sorts of infections outside of SimCity, and Zootopia non-sense Multi-PETS Gameplays.

RaizenToguro no it didn't he he just didn't like the fame that came with it
That boy in the front is the creepiest looking child who ever lived
Djimon Hounsou looked like a baby in this movie.
This movie is just an episode of Doctor Who without the Doctor.
Ra is the last of the Elohim - aka the last surviving Anunnaki from the Sumerian pantheon of “gods.”
He’s the Yahweh of the Bible. Same script different cast. This film is a bio drama of our ancient past. An illustration of how technology is perceived as supernatural - and the misuse of that knowledge to control an entire world.
Great comment. What do you mean it is perceived as supernatural? He's clearly using man-made devices in front of them and not his mind or word to do his will...
BULLSHIT THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD JESUS CHRIST
@@jenniferbeatty7545 Yeah but to the ancient people that would have looked supernatural
Just false
Ra, так не пойдёт, я предупреждают.
4:57 Kurt Russel was macht er da ?
"There can be only one" highlander anyone?
You said it !
Who knows Jay Davidson...... NOBODY.
Thats Dad
True story lol
I remembered the first time I watched that movie. I was a little boy I think 5 or 6. Despite the voice if I wasn t told anything, I would have sworn that it s a girl.
You're correct. He's a biological woman with male reproductive organs. A hybrid, androgynous, non human, monster species like most on earth are. Ancient, impure, corrupted bloodlines allowed to reproduce age after age...
@@jenniferbeatty7545 No Jaye is a dude with due organs. He just looks androgynous in the movie. Spewing lies about them only makes you look bad.
