This is my absolute favorite movie. I pretty much live by "it's the simple things in life you treasure," and I always say "hold, please" instead of "hang on." 😊
My favorite part is how it takes the plausibility of the story for the movie no better than the low production value of a cheap TV show. There are tounge in cheek things all through that make it a hack job, that they included one way or another: bad CGI, bad voice over, utterly implausibility and plot holes, ridiculousness about sciencey words, ridiculing the naivete of the fanbase, ridiculing the actors, the writers; the whole thing is a lampoon. But the satire is a light enough touch to be endearing, too. At one of the big Cons -- San Diego, I believe, a good while back -- there was an ongoing poll for the best Star Trek movies, and a write-in campaign for this movie swept the con and it took 5th. So *Galaxy Quest* has been honorarily named among the Top Five Star Trek Movies as a non-canon claim to fame ever since.

@@tvdroid22 well.....aside from the naughty language there's one part where Gwen seduces two of the atacking green aliens (I don't think the thing ever said what species they were supposed to be) by unzipping her uniform all the way.

He didn't say "oh, darn" (Signourney Weave didn't say "I'm repeating the darn computer" either.
A perfect movie, always re-watchable. It's the unofficial fan-choice for one of the top three Star Trek movies. This was a total love letter to Trek fans.
Enrico Colantoni (Mathesar) came up with the speech patterns and physical movements of the Thermians on his own. The director loved it, so Colantoni led classes for the other actors and background characters.
@@732ReviewCrew Sad but inspiring fact: The actor who plays Laredo, Daryl Mitchell was in a motorcycle accident in 2001 and was paralyzed from the waist down. Yet he 'never gave up, never surrendered'. He is still acting...last thing I saw him in was in Fear the Walking Dead..
There is a great documentary about this movie called "Never Surrender" that you should check out. This movie wasn't a hit in theaters, but it really picked up steam as a cult classic on DVD and streaming. They had planned on making a sequel but Alan Rickman's death sank those plans. It was originally meant for a PG-13 rating but idiot studio heads wanted a PG movie. That meant that Fred was only hinted as being high with the munchies all of the time.
@@732ReviewCrew There is more to it than that. I haven't seen the documentary yet, but the reason that Sigourney has a wardrobe malfunction is pretty dark and that was also removed for the ratings.
@732ReviewCrew They included he deleted scene of her unzipping her uniform. It's not really dark, just. She tries to seduce the aliens. I HIGHLY recommend the documentary. You learn how the alien race speech and behavior came about. This was 1999. He debut of Justin Long. Possibly the debut of Sam Rockwell (Guy) who also did The Shawshank Redemption that year. Darryl "Chill" Mitchell (Laredo) was in 10 Things I Hate About You as a teacher. He was later paralyzed in a car crash and continues to act from a wheelchair. You may know Missy Pyle from Dodgeball as the scary woman on Ben Stiller's team. Tony Shaloub (Chen) played the character as stoned. He was on Wings, the lead on Monk, and the alien gun dealer in Men in Black. Sarris is the late Robin Sachs, who makes a guest appearance on Buffy. No spoilers. Enrico Colantoni (Mathesar) was later Veronica Mars' dad, the lead in excellent Canadian SWAT style cop show Flashpoint, and a recurring character on Person of Interest. BTW, Alan Rickman is never shown without his headpiece, including in his own apartment.
Folks... This wasn't a parody! Mel Brooks' "Spaceballs" was a classic spoof of "Star Wars." And Lucas and Spielberg really deserve that! But this film is a homage to Star Trek, with a friendly wink. The creators called it, "a love letter to the nerds"...
i remember watching it at the cinema because we were late for the movie we wanted to see. no idea what that was. so zero expectations and i think one of our group had seen an advert and said it look crap. needless to say those zero or negative expectations were blown away. that's the best way to see things. so glad joe didn't hype it up or give any clues.
"Galaxy Quest": The best "Star Trek" movie Paramount didn't make. Sigourney Weaver signed on to play a Blonde. She "felt her IQ drop sharply" when she wore it...all the way home.;)
In the cut content for the movie they talk about how the original intent for the rock monster was to have it subtitled. His problem was with vibrations (sound) and so he reacted negatively whenever there was a lot of sound. When he crashes though the wall of the ship into space, for the fist time in his life, he is somewhere where there is no sound and he is finally at peace.
Re: actors trying to survive after being in cult sci-fi shows -- Alan Tudyk, who played Wash on Firefly, wasn't getting a lot of work after the show ended, versus Nathan Fillian who played Captain Mal and got all kinds of leading man roles afterward. Tudyk was appearing at sci-fi fan conventions to get some income and based on those experiences Tudyk co-produced a crowdfunded web series called "Con Man" where Tudyk basically plays himself, trying to get acting work and doing the convention circuit. The show appeared on Vimeo and a second season on ComicCon's streaming service, then was re-edited into half hour episodes and shown on the SciFi cable channel.
Makes sense! Some podcasts I (Mikey) listen to detail this. Especially for dub, background, and children shows actors. They are so screwed for things like.... Power Rangers. Powe Rangers grossed multi billions for their merchandise but the actors were paid nothing.
It's called the "Star Trek Curse". The cast of Star Trek were so typecast by their roles on Star Trek that they struggled to ever get another role. Nimoy's next gig after Star Trek (and Star Trek animated) was as the host of "In Search Of" and other than a few cameos and voicing Galvatron for the Transformer movie in 87 and the King in Disney's Atlantis only played Spock. His biggest post Star Trek roll was as the villain in Fringe (2008 FORTY years after TOS). He was able to work behind the camera after directing Star Trek 3 & 4. It was almost a decade before Shatner got another roll (TJ Hooker). His "recording career" was brief and he did "write" some sci-fi novels that they tried to make into a series in the 90s. His recurring role on Boston Legal didn't happen until this century. Walter Konig (Checkov) got some rolls in indie sci-fi/horror movies before his next Big Roll (on Babylon 5). George Takai did some voiceover work. Dohan never got another part, to my knowledge. The biggest boost for their careers was when the movies started production. And TNG followed suit. Other than Sir Patric Stewart, what other jobs did any of the cast ever work again? John Frakes started directing. They did voiceover work for Gargoyles. Levar Burton did a few more seasons of Reading Rainbow. Wil Weaton had a fun Tabletop game show on RUclips. And though it's called "the Star Trek curse" it's fairly typical of actors in sci-fi series from Stargate to Farscape. Sci-fi as a genre is generally frowned upon as something "less than" a real drama (even Soap actors can get rolls) and where your career goes to die. Maybe its because only "nerds" will be your fans? I don't know.
In the opinion of many of us, _Galaxy Quest_ is the greatest _Star Trek_ movie ever made. Is it parody? Yes, but... _Galaxy Quest_ is a loving parody. It acknowledges the impact of _Star Trek_ even as it makes gentle fun of _Trek's_ most iconic tropes. And more than that, _Galaxy Quest_ is a love letter to _Trek_ fans.
Who knew it was possible that the greatest parody of a genre could at the same time be the most perfect homage. It takes me back to my youth watching William Shatner roll around in the dust while the music drummed in "Dat. Dat. Dah. Dah. Dah. Daht. Dah. Dah. Dah." And attending the ascension of comic book conventions at the Holiday Inn before having to pay for signatures or lay down bread for a photo op at the mega cons. When $400 could land you an original page of Jack Kirby art. Hats off to everyone in the cast. Including Sam Rockwell and Alan Rickman, who surprised me with comedic skills I did not know they had. One odd bit... in the DVD release there's a frame cut from the film. In the beginning when Jason Nesmith is on all fours looking for his shoe he asks the "actors" to help him look for it, there is a shot from in front of him and them looking at him from behind. In the movie release there is a brief shot from their POV. A full on shot of Tim Allen's rear end facing them. In the moment, the audience doesn't know what's going on yet, and the shot is so outrageous that it tips us off that whatever story we thought this story was going to be, this was not going to be 'that' story. I get why it was cut. But I wish the Studio felt the audience was are mature enough to handle it. Although on reflection, given how the movie is absolute PERFECTion for kids and old folks like me who are 'kids' at heart, it was probably a perfect edit. "Oh. THAT'S not right!"
Most parodies throw the gags directly at audience-- the characters are in on the joke. Galaxy Quest is a genuine comedy, not a parody. The characters are reasonable people thrown into an insane situation and the fun comes from how the joke is played on them.
Tony Shalhoub was originally supposed to be stoned throughout the duration of the movie, but because the studio decided to make it a pg-13 release they had to cut around it. You can see other signs of the movie originally being rated R, like the dubbed over "f**k" that Sigourney Weaver says when they get to the chompers.
This movie is in my sanctuary collection because it's a timeless comedic classic that makes me giggle and laugh and feel good every time! It's very clever...each time you watch you'll notice something new/different that will tickle your funny bone...in my humble opinion.😅 So glad you guys reacted to this fun, underrated modern classic. Many giggles from Oregon...gracias a los tres amigos.☺💚
I love this movie and still funny. I think my favorite line is "it's an alien planet!...is there a AIR!?..YOU DON'T KNOW!" I think the funniest part of that is that he is technically right
There was a lot of swearing in the movie that was cut in post for the PG rating. The only thing left in was Sigorney Weaver's F-bomb which they dubbed over with "screw: If you look carefully you can see the dub.
You beat me to my lil' favorite trivia bit!😂I love Sigorney and this movie...wish they left that one F bomb in because I'd be screaming much worse if I had to run through those chompers!😂😂😂
See, I just always thought it was implied. He nails the performance. He reminds me of every other chill pothead I know, just going with the flow with a snack in hand ❤
Such a perfect movie, poking fun at all the tropes and clichés, but never in a mean-spirited way - it's laughing WITH the Star Trek / sci-fi fans, not AT them. Und just like Shaun of the Dead, it's not just a good spoof or parody, it's a good genre film in its own right. Even manages to get all emotional and dramatic with Mathesar and Quellek instead of just being a funny movie. Even the effects hold up surprisingly well.
For me, Robin Sachs' scenery-chewing villainy is up there with Bill Nighy's Davy Jones as among the greatest performances through full-body transformation.
This film is the greatest love letter to star trek ever written. Its a piss take, but its a loving one.And the utter contempt Rickman delivers his lines with its glorious.
When they were filming the part where they were sitting at the convention signing photos. Alan Rickman leaned over & said to Sigourney Weaver. "This is getting a little too real."
Terrific reaction! Really happy you guys loved it. I find that this movie really holds up to repeat views with its great cast. It also generates real pathos when Quellek dies. Some trivia: I do believe this was Justin Long's first role. Guy's scream when seeing the Thermians without their appearance generators was an ad lib. Enrico Colantoni (Mathesar) came up with the way the Thermians speak. Colantoni is also great in Veronica Mars and Person of Interest.
@@732ReviewCrew He took all the thermian actors to "alien school" for a whole week, where they practiced their mannerisms to truly look like squid people in human bodies. Truly genius stuff.
This is one of the most well-written comedies ever. Things get more and more ridiculous and then just when you're reaching the saturation point, BAM! they hit you right in the gut with a serious moment (Quellek's death, Mathazar saying they are the last of their race, the torture of the previous captain, etc). It's a real roller coaster to watch. Really glad you guys liked it. Perhaps it hit your editing room floor, but I'm a little surprised you didn't recognize Rainn Wilson from "The Office" in his role as Lahnk.
Love this movie!!! I think it is on some list(s) of 100 number of perfect movies. Never gets old watching it. Early roles for so many. Was a risk to cast Tim Allen at the time. But he was perfect. Alan Rickman! Tony Shalhoub!! Sam Rockwell !!! Sigourney Weaver!!!! Fun fact, a bonus content on the old DVD was a movie dub in the alien language.
One of the best Star Trek films...and that's official. Sigourney Weaver liked her blond wig so much that she took it home with her after the shoot. Tony Shalob's character is supposed to be stoned throughout the film and that's how he was originally written...hence the chilled-out character always eating snacks.
Alexander Dane (Alan Rickman's character) clearly started out as a stage actor ("Five curtain calls!"). He takes acting seriously; it's the most important thing in his life. That's why he suggests figuring out the rock monster's motivation; motivation is fundamental to an actor. But since being on _Galaxy Quest_ (the television series) he's been type cast and is unable to get acting jobs. He's reduced to getting minor fees from conventions and appearing at shopping center grand openings. And "that line" is the symbol of the thing that is preventing him from doing the only job he has ever wanted to do. No wonder he's bitter about it.
Something to keep in mind on rewatch, and I think was confirmed by Tony Shaloub, is that the reason Tech Sergeant Chen is so mellow is because he was super baked the whole time. That is why he is always snacking, he has the munchies. Due to rating I think the didn't want any overt allusion to drug use, even weed, so they just do it as subtext. Next to Brad Pitt in True Romance, Shaloub is probably my favorite onscreen stoner. The other thing about Chen is the subtext, that his name is Chen but the actor isn't Chinese or any of the subcultures that also have that common surname. So basically TS Chen is a non-asian actor in "yellow face" like David Carradine in the old show Kung Fu or other messed up representation in films up through the 90s or even early 00's. I think This movie and the Princess Bride are two perfect movies that should never be remade. I could see them doing a sequel to this movie though, if they had a really good script and if treh original director was willing. It wouldn't quite be the same without Alan Rickman (big RIP) but they could totally do something with it like 25y later. The show is rebooted in the end of this movie but that cast also basically introduced earth to its first alien species. I would 100% buy any of the characters as the leaders of a version of The United Federation of Planets from Star Trek for this world. All so much older now but Sam Rockwell is the only one who could still pull off being an action lead so it would be cool if he was like the new captain on the protector with the remaining cast coming back to deal with a new threat. But also maybe just don't because this movie us genius.
Kwai Chang Caine is half-Chinese, half-American so David Carradine wasn't exactly portraying "yellowface". The show was not "rebooted" at the end of the movie. It was continued. DO you even know what a reboot is? Roc Ingersoll can't be the captain on a Federation spaceship because he's not qualified. Get your $#!+ straight, man.
I am increasingly convinced that the tech sergeant Chen really was stoned the entire trip! this is such a great movie! some even say it's one of the top three Star Trek movies of all time.
Yes, he's stoned but they edited out those references. In the scene where the crew all goes to the ship the first time, he was buying snacks because he had munchies.
@@Timmayytoo Yeah, DreamWorks really pushed to get the movie a PG rating, which is also why Sigourney Weaver's precision f-bomb got dubbed into "well screw that".
Fandom did a documentary on this movie called Never Surrender, which features TNG's Wil Wheaton talking about the movie. They also did a very touching tribute to Alan Rickman. It really made me cry; it was so good. Amazon had it, but I'm my sure if it's still available. Must watch for Glace Galaxy Quest fans
@@732ReviewCrewThe Orville starts out as a spoof/love letter to Star Trek in season 1. By Season 3 it was the best Star Trek show that wasn't named Star Trek and became a real deal stand on its own 2 feet show
There was a late cut subplot which had the engineer high as a kite, hence why he takes everything in his stride (you can still see a puff of suspect smoke when his teleport pod arrives at the ship). Personally I think it's funnier that he just accepts everything happening because that's who he is.
There's a fan fiction story in Trek magazine in the 70's called "Visit to a Strange Planet Revisited" in which the crew and the actors who portray them swap place via transporter. I loved seeing the story brought to this frame.
There's another joke I think a lot of people miss. Fred's character is Asian, but he's not. Whenever his name is mentioned by the Thermians, or he's on camera in the context of the show, he squints his eyes, in reference to the offensive stereotype of "yellowface" used by white actors to play Asian characters. When Fred's first seen at the opening, he suddenly squints his eyes after saying, "It can't be stopped!". He does it the second time when the Thermians call him "Tech Seargent Chen", and the last time in the opening to the new Galaxy quest adventures when he looks up at the camera. It's one of those subtle jabs at older movies and shows.
Ms. Weaver proved to me in this film that she is a genius. If I had been asked to name the role that she could not play, prior to this, I would have said blonde air head. Ms. Weaver wins again.
David Howard about how he got the idea for the movie. "For example, when I wrote my draft, Captain Starshine... which became Galaxy Quest...I got the idea when I was in an IMAX film. I was waiting for the film to start, and the trailers for the coming attractions started, and there was a feature coming called Americans In Space. The voiceover for this trailer was Leonard Nimoy, and it took me a few minutes to recognize his voice. Then it just struck me, "Aw, that poor guy." I could just see these marketing guys putting this together saying, "Who could we get to do this?" "Oh, let's get William Shatner." "Oh no no, he's out of the country. Who else is there?" "Let's get Leonard Nimoy!" You know? The idea of being trapped in that world struck me as something potentially very funny. How do you walk away from that and decide, "No, I'm not going to do that anymore..."?
When they started making this film it actually was a parody of the original Star Trek... but because of licensing issues they had to drop Star Trek invent a new fake show to parody.
Tony Shalob's character is my edible gummy goal, to be completely uneffected by an incredible stressful environment and just go with the flow!!!😂😂😂😂 Edit: After further thought...I still agree with all of the above MINUS his attraction to octopus squid alien women...not one of my goals.😂
"Back after 18 years"... Why18 years? Deliberate homage to the gap between ST-TOS and ST-The Next Generation. i love that G/Quest is full of clever little things like that. Even their ships I.D. number starts with NTE "Not The Enterprise"
Unfortunately the studio execs wanted a PG rating so the movie lost one of the funniest jokes to ADR. When Tim Allen & Sigourney Weaver are in the "hallway of death" you hear Sigourney yell, "Screw that!" when she sees the hallway, but if you pay attention to her mouth she actually yelled, "Fuck that!" Would've been much funnier if they kept that in.
After all the dramatic theatrical work in the film, it just feels appropriate that the Oscar goes to Guy Fleegman (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri; 2017).
If you go back to the chompers scene and watch Sigourney Weaver's lips, you with notice that the original line was not, "Well screw that" like it is in the scene, however I am willing to bet that you will be able to tell what it actually was.
I don't know if it was in the version you watched, but the reason Gwen has her boobs almost out at one point is that when she and Jason reached the self-destruct, they were caught by two Thermians, but she went with the trope and distracted them by opening her shirt, which they found "strangely alluring", enabling Jason to kill them. This (plus her "F*** that") was retained in some VHS or DVD releases, although all the scenes showing that Fred was, indeed, stoned throughout were cut before any releases. The dynamics between Jason and the other actors (and some fans), implied for the original show and portrayed at the Convention, are not all that distant (though doubtless exaggerated) from the real life situation with William Shatner and the other actors of the original series Star Trek. (The "There's no God-damn ship!" incident reportedly happened at one ST con much as shown.)
Tony Schaloub's character (Tech Sarg. Chen) was supposed to be stoned the entire time. They cut out the actual drug use, when they went for the PG13 rating. They also cut the fact that he was a white actor playing a Chinese character (Schaloub is Lebenese) You can see a few times when he goes in to character, he squints.
In every Galaxy Quest reaction people ask why the guys in the bathroom shit-talk, despite the fact they paid for the convention. These are clearly Klingons peeing there, at least to my eyes. So either they sneaked in to make fun of the competition, or it´s a multi-con with Star Trek in the house.
Apparently it's a reference to the same thing happening to Shatner in a bathroom. It's how he found out the rest of the cast of ST-TOS hated him for hogging the limelight.

Enrico Colantoni (Mathesar) came up with the speech patterns and physical movements of the Thermians on his own. The director loved it, so Colantoni led classes for the other actors and background characters.
Brilliant 😊
The screams of Laredo and Guy are simply too funny!!!😂😂😂
Laredo being carried is peak
@@732ReviewCrew Sad but inspiring fact:
The actor who plays Laredo, Daryl Mitchell was in a motorcycle accident in 2001 and was paralyzed from the waist down. Yet he 'never gave up, never surrendered'. He is still acting...last thing I saw him in was in Fear the Walking Dead..
The greatest Star Trek movie ever made!!
There is a great documentary about this movie called "Never Surrender" that you should check out. This movie wasn't a hit in theaters, but it really picked up steam as a cult classic on DVD and streaming. They had planned on making a sequel but Alan Rickman's death sank those plans. It was originally meant for a PG-13 rating but idiot studio heads wanted a PG movie. That meant that Fred was only hinted as being high with the munchies all of the time.
Makes sense considering Sigourney says fuck but they censor her!
@@732ReviewCrew There is more to it than that. I haven't seen the documentary yet, but the reason that Sigourney has a wardrobe malfunction is pretty dark and that was also removed for the ratings.
@@732ReviewCrew The dub was so obvious, it seems like they wanted her original dialogue to be clear.
@732ReviewCrew They included he deleted scene of her unzipping her uniform. It's not really dark, just. She tries to seduce the aliens.
I HIGHLY recommend the documentary. You learn how the alien race speech and behavior came about.
This was 1999. He debut of Justin Long. Possibly the debut of Sam Rockwell (Guy) who also did The Shawshank Redemption that year. Darryl "Chill" Mitchell (Laredo) was in 10 Things I Hate About You as a teacher. He was later paralyzed in a car crash and continues to act from a wheelchair. You may know Missy Pyle from Dodgeball as the scary woman on Ben Stiller's team. Tony Shaloub (Chen) played the character as stoned. He was on Wings, the lead on Monk, and the alien gun dealer in Men in Black. Sarris is the late Robin Sachs, who makes a guest appearance on Buffy. No spoilers. Enrico Colantoni (Mathesar) was later Veronica Mars' dad, the lead in excellent Canadian SWAT style cop show Flashpoint, and a recurring character on Person of Interest.
BTW, Alan Rickman is never shown without his headpiece, including in his own apartment.
My idea for a sequel: They fight their actual "Mirror Universe" counterparts and they _all_ have beards, including Sigourney.
Folks... This wasn't a parody! Mel Brooks' "Spaceballs" was a classic spoof of "Star Wars." And Lucas and Spielberg really deserve that! But this film is a homage to Star Trek, with a friendly wink. The creators called it, "a love letter to the nerds"...

There's a cut scene that explains why Fred is so chill. Yes, it does involve some unlicensed pharmaceuticals.
One of my all time favorites! Great cast, well written, well acted, pretty good special effects, and as a whole the film still holds up today.
The entire film was amazing to us, and our limited Star Trek exposure! I've recommended it to all Trekkie friends
i remember watching it at the cinema because we were late for the movie we wanted to see. no idea what that was. so zero expectations and i think one of our group had seen an advert and said it look crap. needless to say those zero or negative expectations were blown away. that's the best way to see things. so glad joe didn't hype it up or give any clues.
"Galaxy Quest": The best "Star Trek" movie Paramount didn't make. Sigourney Weaver signed on to play a Blonde. She "felt her IQ drop sharply" when she wore it...all the way home.;)
I've rarely seen you all enjoy something this much. It was fun to see how much you loved it.
In the cut content for the movie they talk about how the original intent for the rock monster was to have it subtitled. His problem was with vibrations (sound) and so he reacted negatively whenever there was a lot of sound. When he crashes though the wall of the ship into space, for the fist time in his life, he is somewhere where there is no sound and he is finally at peace.
Re: actors trying to survive after being in cult sci-fi shows -- Alan Tudyk, who played Wash on Firefly, wasn't getting a lot of work after the show ended, versus Nathan Fillian who played Captain Mal and got all kinds of leading man roles afterward. Tudyk was appearing at sci-fi fan conventions to get some income and based on those experiences Tudyk co-produced a crowdfunded web series called "Con Man" where Tudyk basically plays himself, trying to get acting work and doing the convention circuit. The show appeared on Vimeo and a second season on ComicCon's streaming service, then was re-edited into half hour episodes and shown on the SciFi cable channel.
Makes sense! Some podcasts I (Mikey) listen to detail this. Especially for dub, background, and children shows actors. They are so screwed for things like.... Power Rangers. Powe Rangers grossed multi billions for their merchandise but the actors were paid nothing.
i LOVED Con Man
It's called the "Star Trek Curse".
The cast of Star Trek were so typecast by their roles on Star Trek that they struggled to ever get another role. Nimoy's next gig after Star Trek (and Star Trek animated) was as the host of "In Search Of" and other than a few cameos and voicing Galvatron for the Transformer movie in 87 and the King in Disney's Atlantis only played Spock. His biggest post Star Trek roll was as the villain in Fringe (2008 FORTY years after TOS). He was able to work behind the camera after directing Star Trek 3 & 4. It was almost a decade before Shatner got another roll (TJ Hooker). His "recording career" was brief and he did "write" some sci-fi novels that they tried to make into a series in the 90s. His recurring role on Boston Legal didn't happen until this century. Walter Konig (Checkov) got some rolls in indie sci-fi/horror movies before his next Big Roll (on Babylon 5). George Takai did some voiceover work. Dohan never got another part, to my knowledge.
The biggest boost for their careers was when the movies started production.
And TNG followed suit. Other than Sir Patric Stewart, what other jobs did any of the cast ever work again? John Frakes started directing. They did voiceover work for Gargoyles. Levar Burton did a few more seasons of Reading Rainbow. Wil Weaton had a fun Tabletop game show on RUclips.
And though it's called "the Star Trek curse" it's fairly typical of actors in sci-fi series from Stargate to Farscape. Sci-fi as a genre is generally frowned upon as something "less than" a real drama (even Soap actors can get rolls) and where your career goes to die. Maybe its because only "nerds" will be your fans? I don't know.

_Galaxy Quest_ was released in the U.S. on Christmas day, 1999.
In the opinion of many of us, _Galaxy Quest_ is the greatest _Star Trek_ movie ever made.
Is it parody? Yes, but... _Galaxy Quest_ is a loving parody. It acknowledges the impact of _Star Trek_ even as it makes gentle fun of _Trek's_ most iconic tropes. And more than that, _Galaxy Quest_ is a love letter to _Trek_ fans.
Who knew it was possible that the greatest parody of a genre could at the same time be the most perfect homage. It takes me back to my youth watching William Shatner roll around in the dust while the music drummed in "Dat. Dat. Dah. Dah. Dah. Daht. Dah. Dah. Dah." And attending the ascension of comic book conventions at the Holiday Inn before having to pay for signatures or lay down bread for a photo op at the mega cons. When $400 could land you an original page of Jack Kirby art. Hats off to everyone in the cast. Including Sam Rockwell and Alan Rickman, who surprised me with comedic skills I did not know they had.
One odd bit... in the DVD release there's a frame cut from the film. In the beginning when Jason Nesmith is on all fours looking for his shoe he asks the "actors" to help him look for it, there is a shot from in front of him and them looking at him from behind. In the movie release there is a brief shot from their POV. A full on shot of Tim Allen's rear end facing them. In the moment, the audience doesn't know what's going on yet, and the shot is so outrageous that it tips us off that whatever story we thought this story was going to be, this was not going to be 'that' story. I get why it was cut. But I wish the Studio felt the audience was are mature enough to handle it.
Although on reflection, given how the movie is absolute PERFECTion for kids and old folks like me who are 'kids' at heart, it was probably a perfect edit.
"Oh. THAT'S not right!"
This film is a masterpiece, and a testament to human artistry.
Most parodies throw the gags directly at audience-- the characters are in on the joke.
Galaxy Quest is a genuine comedy, not a parody. The characters are reasonable people thrown into an insane situation and the fun comes from how the joke is played on them.
@@BogeyTheBear I can be both.
I love the screen ratio changes in the movie. TV>Movie>Wide Screen.

It's "Don't open that! It's an alien planet! Is there air? You don't know!"
If you're going to quote something, GET IT RIGHT.
You're such an idjit.
Tony Shalhoub was originally supposed to be stoned throughout the duration of the movie, but because the studio decided to make it a pg-13 release they had to cut around it. You can see other signs of the movie originally being rated R, like the dubbed over "f**k" that Sigourney Weaver says when they get to the chompers.
There´s a wonderful 2019 documentary about the Galaxy Quest cult and lore 🙂
The ship is the NTE-3120 Protector... NTE means Not The Enterprise.
Thats amazing....
🎊 🎉
Thank you! This is one of my favorites. Thanks for what you do. May your views and likes always be equal.
Thank you! It has become our favorite too.
This movie is in my sanctuary collection because it's a timeless comedic classic that makes me giggle and laugh and feel good every time! It's very clever...each time you watch you'll notice something new/different that will tickle your funny bone...in my humble opinion.😅
So glad you guys reacted to this fun, underrated modern classic. Many giggles from Oregon...gracias a los tres amigos.☺💚
Thanks for joining us! It was so fun, if every parody was this good I would bust a rib laughing

There was a lot of swearing in the movie that was cut in post for the PG rating. The only thing left in was Sigorney Weaver's F-bomb which they dubbed over with "screw: If you look carefully you can see the dub.

See, I just always thought it was implied. He nails the performance. He reminds me of every other chill pothead I know, just going with the flow with a snack in hand ❤
Such a perfect movie, poking fun at all the tropes and clichés, but never in a mean-spirited way - it's laughing WITH the Star Trek / sci-fi fans, not AT them. Und just like Shaun of the Dead, it's not just a good spoof or parody, it's a good genre film in its own right. Even manages to get all emotional and dramatic with Mathesar and Quellek instead of just being a funny movie. Even the effects hold up surprisingly well.
The effects are amazing for a 1999 parody movie!
For me, Robin Sachs' scenery-chewing villainy is up there with Bill Nighy's Davy Jones as among the greatest performances through full-body transformation.
Seeing how much you all enjoyed this -- you should do the 1985 film "Clue". :)
Thats on the next poll!
This film is the greatest love letter to star trek ever written.
Its a piss take, but its a loving one.And the utter contempt Rickman delivers his lines with its glorious.

When they were filming the part where they were sitting at the convention signing photos. Alan Rickman leaned over & said to Sigourney Weaver. "This is getting a little too real."
Gone too soon : (
Terrific reaction! Really happy you guys loved it. I find that this movie really holds up to repeat views with its great cast. It also generates real pathos when Quellek dies.
Some trivia: I do believe this was Justin Long's first role. Guy's scream when seeing the Thermians without their appearance generators was an ad lib. Enrico Colantoni (Mathesar) came up with the way the Thermians speak. Colantoni is also great in Veronica Mars and Person of Interest.
It's amazing through and through. I'm gonna get Eddie to watch it now!
@@732ReviewCrew He took all the thermian actors to "alien school" for a whole week, where they practiced their mannerisms to truly look like squid people in human bodies. Truly genius stuff.
This is one of the most well-written comedies ever. Things get more and more ridiculous and then just when you're reaching the saturation point, BAM! they hit you right in the gut with a serious moment (Quellek's death, Mathazar saying they are the last of their race, the torture of the previous captain, etc). It's a real roller coaster to watch. Really glad you guys liked it. Perhaps it hit your editing room floor, but I'm a little surprised you didn't recognize Rainn Wilson from "The Office" in his role as Lahnk.
We did!! It should be in the beginning but maybe I forgot it. We all noticed at once
@@732ReviewCrew Ah, if it's there then I missed it. Hard to focus in the morning when the coffee cup is still full, LOL
Love this movie!!! I think it is on some list(s) of 100 number of perfect movies. Never gets old watching it. Early roles for so many. Was a risk to cast Tim Allen at the time. But he was perfect. Alan Rickman! Tony Shalhoub!! Sam Rockwell !!! Sigourney Weaver!!!! Fun fact, a bonus content on the old DVD was a movie dub in the alien language.
One of the best Star Trek films...and that's official. Sigourney Weaver liked her blond wig so much that she took it home with her after the shoot. Tony Shalob's character is supposed to be stoned throughout the film and that's how he was originally written...hence the chilled-out character always eating snacks.
Alexander Dane (Alan Rickman's character) clearly started out as a stage actor ("Five curtain calls!"). He takes acting seriously; it's the most important thing in his life. That's why he suggests figuring out the rock monster's motivation; motivation is fundamental to an actor. But since being on _Galaxy Quest_ (the television series) he's been type cast and is unable to get acting jobs. He's reduced to getting minor fees from conventions and appearing at shopping center grand openings. And "that line" is the symbol of the thing that is preventing him from doing the only job he has ever wanted to do. No wonder he's bitter about it.
We love this explanation. Thank you
Something to keep in mind on rewatch, and I think was confirmed by Tony Shaloub, is that the reason Tech Sergeant Chen is so mellow is because he was super baked the whole time. That is why he is always snacking, he has the munchies. Due to rating I think the didn't want any overt allusion to drug use, even weed, so they just do it as subtext. Next to Brad Pitt in True Romance, Shaloub is probably my favorite onscreen stoner. The other thing about Chen is the subtext, that his name is Chen but the actor isn't Chinese or any of the subcultures that also have that common surname. So basically TS Chen is a non-asian actor in "yellow face" like David Carradine in the old show Kung Fu or other messed up representation in films up through the 90s or even early 00's.
I think This movie and the Princess Bride are two perfect movies that should never be remade. I could see them doing a sequel to this movie though, if they had a really good script and if treh original director was willing. It wouldn't quite be the same without Alan Rickman (big RIP) but they could totally do something with it like 25y later. The show is rebooted in the end of this movie but that cast also basically introduced earth to its first alien species. I would 100% buy any of the characters as the leaders of a version of The United Federation of Planets from Star Trek for this world. All so much older now but Sam Rockwell is the only one who could still pull off being an action lead so it would be cool if he was like the new captain on the protector with the remaining cast coming back to deal with a new threat.
But also maybe just don't because this movie us genius.
Kwai Chang Caine is half-Chinese, half-American so David Carradine wasn't exactly portraying "yellowface".
The show was not "rebooted" at the end of the movie. It was continued. DO you even know what a reboot is?
Roc Ingersoll can't be the captain on a Federation spaceship because he's not qualified.
Get your $#!+ straight, man.
Oh - also, the dvd has an alternate audio track. The entire film dubbed into the alien language of the thermians.
That's amazing.
I am increasingly convinced that the tech sergeant Chen really was stoned the entire trip!
this is such a great movie! some even say it's one of the top three Star Trek movies of all time.
He absolutely is stoned!
Yes, he's stoned but they edited out those references. In the scene where the crew all goes to the ship the first time, he was buying snacks because he had munchies.
@@Timmayytoo Yeah, DreamWorks really pushed to get the movie a PG rating, which is also why Sigourney Weaver's precision f-bomb got dubbed into "well screw that".
Well, Guy does ask if he’s stoned near the end. :)
"Chen" is also supposed to an Asian character so every time someone calls him by name he squints his eyes, which is part of the parody.
I love movies too joe! Since i was 6 years old and saw my very first movie...STAR WARS in 1977 😊😊😊😊😊
Fandom did a documentary on this movie called Never Surrender, which features TNG's Wil Wheaton talking about the movie. They also did a very touching tribute to Alan Rickman. It really made me cry; it was so good. Amazon had it, but I'm my sure if it's still available. Must watch for Glace Galaxy Quest fans
Will do! Although we may cry too for Alan...
When you guys start a new TV series you need to consider The Orville and Resident Alien
I'll save this comment to add to the list of shows!!
@@732ReviewCrewThe Orville starts out as a spoof/love letter to Star Trek in season 1. By Season 3 it was the best Star Trek show that wasn't named Star Trek and became a real deal stand on its own 2 feet show
Resident Alien is so underrated...it's really good and fun.
I need to check out The Orville but I agree on Resident Alien. Alan Tudyk (the pilot on Firefly) is great on the show.
Bit of trivia: The actor playing the bad guy "Sarris" was the voice actor for Zaeed Massani in Mass Effect 2.
WHAT
There was a late cut subplot which had the engineer high as a kite, hence why he takes everything in his stride (you can still see a puff of suspect smoke when his teleport pod arrives at the ship). Personally I think it's funnier that he just accepts everything happening because that's who he is.
......⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️....
I should buy this on blu-ray
GALAXY QUEST came out 1999. and its still one of my favorites! even the CGI held up so well!
Amazingly well for it's time!

TIM ALLEN IS ACTUALLY STARTING A NEW SERIES!👍🏼👍🏼
There's a fan fiction story in Trek magazine in the 70's called "Visit to a Strange Planet Revisited" in which the crew and the actors who portray them swap place via transporter. I loved seeing the story brought to this frame.
I wish the producers would bring this movie back to theaters for a weekend for its 25th anniversary.
I would go see it in a heartbeat!
PLEASE
There's another joke I think a lot of people miss. Fred's character is Asian, but he's not. Whenever his name is mentioned by the Thermians, or he's on camera in the context of the show, he squints his eyes, in reference to the offensive stereotype of "yellowface" used by white actors to play Asian characters. When Fred's first seen at the opening, he suddenly squints his eyes after saying, "It can't be stopped!". He does it the second time when the Thermians call him "Tech Seargent Chen", and the last time in the opening to the new Galaxy quest adventures when he looks up at the camera. It's one of those subtle jabs at older movies and shows.
Definitely something we missed on first watch! During my edits I noticed it and the fans made it clear exactly why he does that.
If Fred did that today, his ass would be cancelled.
Sam Rockwell is brilliant in this film. When Fred is making out with the alien his face is a picture of” that’s not right”
And it's glorious.
"I'm just jazzed to be on the show"
Sam Rockwell is the most versatile actor in the cast. watch 'Mr. Right' "The Green Mile' "Moon' 'Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri' 'Vice'
Sam Rockwell and Alan Rickman for the win
Ms. Weaver proved to me in this film that she is a genius. If I had been asked to name the role that she could not play, prior to this, I would have said blonde air head. Ms. Weaver wins again.
Best female action star of all time!
David Howard about how he got the idea for the movie.
"For example, when I wrote my draft, Captain Starshine... which became Galaxy Quest...I got the idea when I was in an IMAX film. I was waiting for the film to start, and the trailers for the coming attractions started, and there was a feature coming called Americans In Space.
The voiceover for this trailer was Leonard Nimoy, and it took me a few minutes to recognize his voice. Then it just struck me, "Aw, that poor guy." I could just see these marketing guys putting this together saying, "Who could we get to do this?" "Oh, let's get William Shatner." "Oh no no, he's out of the country. Who else is there?" "Let's get Leonard Nimoy!" You know? The idea of being trapped in that world struck me as something potentially very funny. How do you walk away from that and decide, "No, I'm not going to do that anymore..."?
Good to be back with you, and a great reaction to such a fun movie!
Amazing movie! Once we realized what it was, Mikey couldn't stop laughing!
@@732ReviewCrew Yep, that helped set the tone! Oh, and have you seen _Dogma?_ That has another fine Alan Rickman performance in it.
Tony Shaloub is playing the exact opposite character as in his TV series Monk.
Guys, that character IS high. Watch the cloud of smoke come off of him just after he is teleported to the ship.
While editing I noticed all 4 who come before him have the smoke too, but yes he is high

-sounds of amazement -
When they started making this film it actually was a parody of the original Star Trek... but because of licensing issues they had to drop Star Trek invent a new fake show to parody.
Tony Shalob's character is my edible gummy goal, to be completely uneffected by an incredible stressful environment and just go with the flow!!!😂😂😂😂
Edit: After further thought...I still agree with all of the above MINUS his attraction to octopus squid alien women...not one of my goals.😂
"Back after 18 years"... Why18 years? Deliberate homage to the gap between ST-TOS and ST-The Next Generation. i love that G/Quest is full of clever little things like that. Even their ships I.D. number starts with NTE "Not The Enterprise"
Galaxy Quest ranks 5th on the list of best Star Trek movies
Unfortunately the studio execs wanted a PG rating so the movie lost one of the funniest jokes to ADR. When Tim Allen & Sigourney Weaver are in the "hallway of death" you hear Sigourney yell, "Screw that!" when she sees the hallway, but if you pay attention to her mouth she actually yelled, "Fuck that!" Would've been much funnier if they kept that in.
Aww, I don't find Galaxy Quest as a spoof. I think it's more of a humorous love letter
After all the dramatic theatrical work in the film, it just feels appropriate that the Oscar goes to Guy Fleegman (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri; 2017).
Don't you mean Security Chief 'Roc' Ingersol?????!!!
@@732ReviewCrewRoc Ingersol is the best name.
If you go back to the chompers scene and watch Sigourney Weaver's lips, you with notice that the original line was not, "Well screw that" like it is in the scene, however I am willing to bet that you will be able to tell what it actually was.
Although it has parody elements, I think it's more accurate to describe this movie as an homage.
Such an underrated movie! Did not get the advertising it deserved.
I had really hoped there would be a part 2
This is the perfect parody. It makes its subject funny while not making fun of its audience.
Dont open that ,is there air , it's an alian planet you dont know......
This is a better Star Trek movie than any of the new 'reboot' crap.
The ship called NTE stands for: Not the Enterprise. They wanted to make a fan film about star trek.
GUY IS A YOUNG SAM ROCKWELL😜😂😂👍🏼👍🏼
Tech SGT Chen was the REAL "scene stealing hack" he should have been looking out for.....
Every time I see tech Sgt Chens name I can only think of how they said it when they first met him ...
I don't know if it was in the version you watched, but the reason Gwen has her boobs almost out at one point is that when she and Jason reached the self-destruct, they were caught by two Thermians, but she went with the trope and distracted them by opening her shirt, which they found "strangely alluring", enabling Jason to kill them. This (plus her "F*** that") was retained in some VHS or DVD releases, although all the scenes showing that Fred was, indeed, stoned throughout were cut before any releases.
The dynamics between Jason and the other actors (and some fans), implied for the original show and portrayed at the Convention, are not all that distant (though doubtless exaggerated) from the real life situation with William Shatner and the other actors of the original series Star Trek. (The "There's no God-damn ship!" incident reportedly happened at one ST con much as shown.)
It was also shown in a deleted scene :3
One thing I've always wondered about: why did Brandon have all those fireworks at home?
For science!
Tony Schaloub's character (Tech Sarg. Chen) was supposed to be stoned the entire time. They cut out the actual drug use, when they went for the PG13 rating. They also cut the fact that he was a white actor playing a Chinese character (Schaloub is Lebenese) You can see a few times when he goes in to character, he squints.
Oh no that's terrible 😂(the squinting)
You should watch the deleted scenes, they make the movie so much better
If you liked Lazarus lunch, you should see his quarters
Oh no...
In every Galaxy Quest reaction people ask why the guys in the bathroom shit-talk, despite the fact they paid for the convention. These are clearly Klingons peeing there, at least to my eyes. So either they sneaked in to make fun of the competition, or it´s a multi-con with Star Trek in the house.
Apparently it's a reference to the same thing happening to Shatner in a bathroom. It's how he found out the rest of the cast of ST-TOS hated him for hogging the limelight.
