Literally a “perfect movie”, critically acclaimed at least
This film is truly a love letter to Star Trek and scifi fandoms in general.
It was also borrowing from Three Amigos.
@@44excaliburNow That's Funny!
I hate Star Trek, but I love this movie lol
How many Battlestar episodes did she get smacked while flying through space?
When it first came out I knew a lot less about fandoms, so I didn't properly appreciate the shippers in the audience losing their minds when the captain kissed Gwen.
I know Rickman is praised.. And rightfully so for the film.. but I always loved his arc the he, "won't say that stupid line." And then when he finally does brings such a grace and gravitas to that moment that could have come off so cheesy but just nails me in the chest HARD every single time.. Bravo good sir.
for me, that moment is the focal point of the whole movie.
In the hands of a lesser actor, that would have been cheesy af with NO redeeming quality, but yes, Rickman hit that one out of the park
Excellent villain(Die Hard), antihero(Harry Potter series), and hero(GQ).
Any film that can make you laugh AND cry deserves all the plaudits. A classic.
I actually teared up a little when we see that Yeoman Johnson was made an official member of the crew and TV series as the security chief.
It was funny when Jane Doe got a role, but the fact that he got a role means that the entire cast went to bat for him.
That was really touching, considering how disconnected they all were at the beginning of the movie
My favorite part of Alex saying the "By Grabthar's Hammer" line to Quellek was that he finally realized how much that line meant to people, and he finally gave it the respect and gravitas it deserved.
It plays so well. Alexander is so done with Dr Lazarus and that 'stupid line', that when he delivers it with all the gravitas that Alan Rickman can muster (while wearing that silly headpiece 🤣🤣🤣), it just crushes.
I absolutely Love Sigourney Weavers line "Lets get out of here before one of those things kills Guy" Its like her character is scared but she thinks if she transposes the danger onto Guy, like in the show, then the worst that might happen is Guy gets killed. Sigourney Weavers delivery is brilliant ;D
Well, no. She is starting to understand that he IS the disposable "extra". The lines between reality and the show are truly becoming blurred... but they are aware if it.
@@chriskelly3481exactly. That’s what she meant.
@@chriskelly3481 Well thats your interoperation I think mines funnier, and it is a comedy after all. He cant be both a "disposable extra" and cared about by Sigourney Weavers character at the same time. She's leading the charge to get out of there, and despite the fact Guy is standing right behind her she doesn't even look at him, she's far more concerned about the "minors" and her own safety.
She's transposing all the danger of the the disposable star trek extras trope onto Guy that he had been talking about, almost willing it to pan out that way if it they do attack The humour is how disposable Guy is and how shallow she is in that moment of danger.
@@rocketmunkey1to be honest with you, I never thought of it that way, I always thought of it as humorous because of the ridiculousness of the situation. Like it’s a forgone conclusion that guy is the one in the most danger and will likely die. But that’s just me.
@@geeebuttersnap2433 Thats fair enough but I just don't see any humour in that on its own, Her character being slightly shallow in that moment by pushing all the risk on Guy injects an emotional and personality aspect into it, which is what I think makes it funny. You need emotion and personality in any good writing including comedy.
"And it exploded." ALWAYS gets a laugh from me...
Comics out there, remember that...
I do truly love the episodes where Mrs. Movies actually enjoys the movie.
When he asks the Thermians to help look for his shoe and they all start looking up at the ceiling, that is such a subtle but genius thing. It cracks me up every time.
Only one actor did this and the rest copied
It makes perfect sense. They have tentacles not feet
" When he asks the Thermians to help look for his shoe " was he wearing boxers or briefs?
@@clutchpedalreturnsprg7710 neither 🤭
@@uffda3937 Hello, I was afraid that was the case.
Guy's scream when they arrive at the ship is hilarious. What makes it even better is Gwen's reaction. Sigourney CLEARLY did not know Sam Rockwell was going to do that and she nearly jumps out of her skin. That's not acting - that's being in the moment!
This is a flawless gem of a film. The "Never Surrender" documentary is every bit as good and a perfect companion to this movie.
I never noticed her in that shot. That makes it all the more better.
Apparently that was not part of the script, it was Sam Rockwell throwing that in there for effect, and Sigourney's jump scare was real.
Speaking of Sigourney, when she says "Well screw that!" after exiting the chompers you can CLEARLY see that she's actually saying something else...
@@ChannelReuploads9451Yes, it was ad-libbed.
@@CaseytifySam also supposedly ad-libbed the “IS THERE AIR?? YOU DON’T KNOW!” bit 😂
One thing that gets overlooked and is rarely remembered because everything is digital now....BUT the special edition DVD had an "Omega 13" option after you watched the movie all the way through.
The option rebooted the disc...aka sent you back 13 seconds.
The best story to come out of Galaxy Quest actually involves Star Trek Actors. Patrick Stewart didnt want to see it at first, he thought from what had been put out there that it was going to make fun of Star Trek, in a harsh way. Well one night Johnathan Frakes calls up stewart and says "You HAVE to see this movie on a weekend in a packed theatre". So Stewart went out the next weekend to watch the movie. According to him no one in the theatre laughed as hard or loud as he did, he absolutely LOVES the film. He sees it as a tribute and homage to Star Trek and to what has kept Trek going all these years, the Fans.
Verified fact. I believe Frakes or Stewart told this story in an interview.
Brent Spiner (Data) noted somewhere that they should have done an episode like this on TNG. He's not wrong.
@@Madbandit77 Nah, man, Id have to disagree with that. What aspect of the movie did he suggest replicating? An alien species that learned from Earths television broadcasts? Sure, I can see that. Maybe. But to integrate ST fandom into the canon of the show? Big fat NO from me.
@@leesweets4110 The idea of cultural contamination was a staple of Original Star Trek, as e.g. in "A Piece of the Action", where a whole planet copied The Chicago Mobs of the 1920s from a book that they found in a crashed ship.
Also, some self-referential stories were already there:
Deep Space NIne had an episode ("Far Beyond the Stars"), where the whole crew suddenly were SF writers in the 1950s, one of them writing a novel about a black man leading a space station …
@Madbandit77 He says In the Amazon prime documentary Never Surrender: A Galaxy Quest Documentary "Why didn't we do this?"
One thing that few people notice is that Jason actually refers to Guy as "Fleegman" at one point on the desert planet. Since Guy never got around to actually _telling_ them his last name this time around, this implies that Jason heard it way back when they were filming episode 81 and has remembered it ever since, even though Guy's role was a one-off and he got killed off 5 minutes into the episode. Yes, Jason is vain and self-centered, but he also possesses a fair amount of people skills, even if he mostly uses them in self-serving ways.
There's actually a bit in the novelization for the film where guy actually yells out that his last name is fleagman so he can't be killed.
"The Orville" might be the closest thing for a tv show version of Galaxy Quest.
My favorite story fo this is that Tim Allen was overwhelmed by Enrico Colantoni's performance during the scene where Malthazar is being tortured and Taggert is forced to tell him the truth about the crew. He had to take a break in his trailer it made him so upset and Alan Rickman quipped "He just experienced acting for the first time."
And yeah, Fred's stoned the whole time, they just cut out the parts that made it explicit probably for the rating.
One of the best comedies ever and a personal favorite. I'm not sure I've ever seen Mrs. Movies laugh this much. Glad you enjoyed it!
Enrico was absolutely STELLAR in Person of Interest, as a Mob Boss.
Also you will recognise one of the other Thermians, as The Recruiter in Deadpool who tells Wade about the mutant program to cure the cancer. Jed Rees. He has been around since the early 90's in 21 Jump Street.
@@ChannelReuploads9451 Rainn wilson is also one of the Thermians
@@ChannelReuploads9451 He's pretty great in almost everything he does. I still think his performance in Veronica Mars is one of the main reasons for the show's rather devoted fan base.
@@ChannelReuploads9451I always think of Jed in the Chris Isaacs show.
@@ChannelReuploads9451 Ted from Scrubs is a Thermian too
Mathazar's voice was based on a vocal exercise he learned in acting school. Basically, it was him just speaking every word in a loud monotone. They liked it so much, it became the speech pattern for all the Thermians.
They also use atypical inflection to make their cadence odd.
My friend Bill Chott has a small part in this movie I always get a smile whenever I see the scene. Fun fact : the ship is called the NTE- Protector, the NTE stood for Not The Enterprise.
Beat me to it. LOL
It's the NSEA-Protector, but it's number is NTE-3120
This film is widely regarded as one of the top 5 Star Trek films. Now that shows you how well this movie resonated with the fans of Star Trek. As many say it's a love letter to Trek. Fun Fact: Enrico Colantoni (Mathezar) pretty much made up the voice, the mannerisms, etc. of the Thermians. The director was so blown away by Enrico's reading that he had the rest of the Thermian cast copy and learn from him.
Wrath of Khan 1, Galaxy quest 2
Fun Fact is verified truth. I can confirm, if anyone wanted confirmation.
@@eolsunder i remember for a while, every time there was a poll..Galaxy Quest was voted THE best Trek movie of all time. Happened over and over again. And as a massive Trekkie, i have to agree. It's the best, though Wrath of Khan comes pretty damn close. Star Trek Beyond is also pretty damn underrated imo. Definitely the most "Star Treky" of the Kelvin movies. Which aren't bad at all. Except for the third act of Into Darkness. Which kinda ruins the rest of that film. But hey, different timeline, so it's fine. And the comic book which told that version of Khan's origin makes Into Darkness slightly better. Though still pretty bad towards the end.
@@TomGallagherSuperboyBeyond The reboot movies are universally trash. I would literally rather watch Nemesis.
@@rabid_si Opinion.
Alan Rickman was phenomenal in this movie. Sam Rockwell was in two movies that year, Galaxy Quest and the Green Mile. It shows just how versatile he is.
He's a true talent. I don't know what his personal life is like, but you can't fault his acting - he has never been bad in anything I've seen.
Tim Allen went to infinity and beyond in this movie for sure
In the anniversary disc, Tim Allen said that there websites dedicated to hating Tim Allen, and even they liked him in "Galaxy Quest."
The Trek actors all loved this too. George Takei called it a chillingly realistic documentary.
Pervert social justice warrior George said it disparagingly though. The only thing "chilling" about it is the realism of fandom, which is another way of saying he mocks the very people that gave him fame, fortune and platform.
@@leesweets4110 🙄
Takei: I think it's a chillingly realistic documentary [laughs]. The details in it, I recognized every one of them. It is a powerful piece of documentary filmmaking. And I do believe that when we get kidnapped by aliens, it's going to be the genuine, true Star Trek fans who will save the day. ... I was rolling in the aisles. And [star] Tim Allen had that Shatner-esque swagger down pat. And I roared when the shirt came off, and [co-star] Sigourney [Weaver] rolls her eyes and says, 'There goes that shirt again.' ...How often did we hear that on the set? [Laughs.]
@@Stile4aly Alan Rickman, "I see you got your shirt off !".
@@leesweets4110 George is very openly gay, not a pervert. He campaigns openly for people to get fair treatment - that's what social justice MEANS. So why give him a hard time?
@@theaikidoka Pervert, thats what I said. Social justice is marxist unfair treatment, libtard. We were already equal under the law; there is no need for sjw bullshhiit that tries to diminish the rights of others and give special privilege's to the few.
Every character is my favorite and every shot, every line is my favorite. I saw this in the theater in 1999 with my wife. It never gets old, never gives up, never surrenders.
Tony was just so perfect throughout…and Sam also.
The entire cast really did a great job.
Oddly enough, this flick actually got me INTO Star Trek. This is such a god damn gem of a movie.
Same way that Emperor TTS got me into warhammer 40k.
Glad you joined the star trek family. I got hooked as a kid back in the late 70s.
This is one of the greatest movies of all time. I remember seeing it in theaters and I swear that when I saw it, it was not the "screw that" dubbed version
yea i remember going to see it and had no idea what the film was about never heard of it, but at the theater i saw a poster that had Tim on it and went oh! its Tim lets go see this.
13:23 The best part is Sam Rockwell improvised screaming, so Sigourney Weaver's flinching was real.
I bet she kicked his arse when they called 'cut'...
Apparently the lead alien is the reason for most of their physical mannerisms. He did his audition fully in character with all the weird quirks and the they loved it so much, they made the other aliens act the same way!
As a life long Trekker I absolutely adore this movie. You can tell it's made with genuine affection for the source material and the fans while still being able to poke fun at both. But it also works as a really good adventure in its own right. Damn shame we never got a sequel but I'm also happy that this exists as a single perfect entity. Never give up, never surrender! 😁
" ....and it exploded.." that line gets me ever time.😂😂😂
You should watch the documentary about this, even just on your own time and not a reaction. It's called Never Surrender: A Galaxy Quest Documentary. It's a really good insight on how this film was made and it's cultural impact today. I think also in the documentary they mentioned that Tony Shalhoub's character is just high that's why he's like that
Interesting that I live in a world where my favorite Star Trek movie is not a Star Trek movie, but Galaxy Quest -- possibly the best and most loving parody of a film franchise. No favorite actors - it truly was an all-star ensemble. Special kudos to Enrico Colantoni (Malthesar) for essentially coming up with all the alien mannerisms that were used by the actors playing the Termites? Dalmatians? ...Thermians.
@Average_Sociopathyou people never get tired of mentioning Discovery everytime, everywhere? It's like you're obsessed. Its kind of a sad thing to be when you hate something. Move on
I was about to do something else and then, "Oooh, GalaxyQuest!" I'll always stop for a GalaxyQuest reaction. This is a movie that never gets old. Like Big Trouble in Little China or CLUE.
Definitely in my top 10! Point of trivia is that Rainn Wilson had a prior commitment he could get out of so rather than write him out completely, you just didn’t see him again.
Re: “Gwen” and her shirt, in a deleted scene she opened her shirt to distract the enemy guys. But with that cut out, her shirt was just opened rather having to refill all her parts.
A part 2 was planned, but when Rickman died they all thought it just wouldn’t be the same.
I would have liked to see a sequel to this. Maybe have some “behind the scenes” stuff on the new series, confirming the fan theory that they got a new series as a means of keeping them quiet about there being actual intelligent life in space. Maybe “Jane Doe” secretly provides the government with guidance in developing new space exploration technologies? Things like that? Lots of possibilities.
@@Thundarr100 My guess would have been, they just prepare for a cinematic movie from the show when Thermians show up again and take the whole film set on location.
And maybe throw some FBI agents in there, too, the X-Files was still big at that time.
That's the most realistic premise...
...the most fantastic one (literally and colloquially) would be they adopted the starship technology from the wreck, built a real version of the Protector, and the cast is part of a reality TV series where they do _actual_ space adventures now.
The whole cast is amazing. One of my favorites of all time. I quote it often. My favorite is hands down Guy Fleegman.
I love that Guy is the only one on the bridge that doesn't get shot by Serras 😅
@@LordVolkovthe irony
No lie, this is legitimately my favorite movie ever. So glad you all got to watch this!
“Miners not Minors” is my favourite line in the movie 😂
As English is not my first language I hear no difference between the two words. Is there a difference at all?
@@cucublueberry8078 Miners means people who work in a Mine. Minors means children. Hope that helps 🙂
@@sarahbroom1636 I know what it means.
I just don't hear an acoustic difference. That's what I've been asking. If you can HEAR a difference.
@@cucublueberry8078 oh sorry. No you don’t hear a difference they sound the same, that’s why it’s funny in the movie.
Star Trek is easily one of my favorite shows and this is such a love letter to the fans. One of my favorite movies
This was honestly one of my favorite movies growing up as a kid. I watched it countless times I felt like young Justin Long.
When Enrico auditioned for the part he did the whole walk and voice. The Director loved it so much he had the alien actors mimic what Enrico did
Probably the greatest love letters of all time. It’s cool to see you guys watch this film, take care!
" By Grabthar's Hammer, by the Suns of Warvan, you shall be avenged "
But what about the savings?
I remember being at a convention and watching the alternate version on the DVD that has dubbed alien voices for everyone in the whole film.... I don't remember ever laughing so hard with a group of people before.
Sam does really steal every scene!!! Even in the background, he’s in full character!!! When he screams arriving to the ship, Sigourney’s jump is a real reaction!
I’ve been a Star Trek fan my whole life and like most of us do consider this a Star Trek movie 🖖❤
All of the characters were perfectly cast & the script was excellent. One of my Top 5 movies of all time.
The actor for Sirrus, was Robin Sachs, who is more known for being "Rupert", Giles' nemesis in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the one who keeps calling Giles, "Ripper".
Tim Allen got top billing so people would say, "This should be funny", but the other five stole the movie from him. What a great cast. It's sad a sequel was never made because we lost Alan so early. It would have been a blast.
Considering how terrible the industry has gotten, I'd expect a sequel. Anything remotely good and sequel appropriate is going to get a chance.
@@st0n3p0ny I beg to differ. How do you come to the conclusion of your second sentence after acknowledging the state of the industry in your first sentence? A sequel would absolutely suck, precisely because the industry is out of ideas - which is why they'd make a sequel in the first place instead of original content. Except it would have bad writing, it would be chalked full of liberal propaganda and marxist identity politics. All actors would be recast with black gay female immigrant paraplegics just so they can say they did it. They produce garbage content they KNOW is garbage content because of ESG scores, appealing to niche demographics, and propagandizing the people, and thats all the reason they need. Good content is difficult and requires paying real talent.
@Drew The Galaxy Quest movie came out in 1999. Rickman passed in 2016. They had 17 years to make a sequel. His passing was not the reason they didnt make a sequel.
@@leesweets4110 you're preaching to the choir Lee... BTTF will be "rebooted" any day now with trans Doc and Marty in an interracial man-boy-love relationship, and one of them will be in a wheel chair, and when it completely bombs Rotten Tomatoes will give it a 97% and claim people didn't see it because they're racist and sexist blah blah blah...
But the tide has already turned. With technology being cheaper and cheaper every day, and crowd sourced funding available for independent productions, the barriers to entry are gone.
Tim Allen is a Conservative. And he has enough clout to push DreamWorks to make it happen.
Be of good cheer my dude, everyone can see that no BS classic movies, made to be entertaining and not to push nonsense politics, are killing it. The demand is off the charts. Top Gun, Sound Of Freedom, people actually go to these abandoned ghost town movie theaters to see them. Woke Snow White probably won't even be released... the pendulum swings and we're about to move in to an epic Renaissance era for movies/TV. Galaxy Quest was a dud in theaters, but it would be one of the biggest movies of the year I'd it came out today. People would rave about it. I predict a sequel. No idea who fills in for the Rickman part, but, it's going to happen.
There IS a new sequel series coming to streaming - once the strikes are over - with Gwen training a new crew.
Alan Rickman was lost way too soon. He's absolutely brilliant as the super computer in "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and this sci-fi homage. Everybody remembers him in the best Christmas movie ever made (Die Hard) and as Severus Snape in Harry Potter. But he was great in small roles, also.
The less about the latter franchise the better but true.
@@christopherb501
Ever heard of truly madly deeply?
Great movie with him in it
@@alanmike6883yes, with the obnoxious Juliet Stevenson.🤮
You should definitely catch "Never Surrender", a documentary about Galaxy Quest.
I forgot how fun this movie is.
Not just a Star Trek parody, but one that Patrick Stewart expected to hate, but ended up absolutely loving.
There was supposed to be a scene cut of Tony's character smoking a joint just before they got teleported to the ship. He was a stoner and played it that way but the movie got edited by the studio making it more family friendly. Sigourney's "screw this' line was dubbed over but Tony's entire character was played 'high' so they just cut references to his usage.
I love Jason's surprised and satisfied smile after defeating Sarris's ship. He realized that he actually had it in himself.
This is the really interesting history about Tony Shaloub's character being the way that he is, quoted by Shaloub.
"That was an interesting situation, too. I had first gone in to meet the director for the role of Guy Fleegman, Sam Rockwell’s part. Crewman #6. That was the initial meeting. And then I found out a little while later that Sam was going to do that, and that was great. And then Dean called me up and said, “We would like you to do this guy Fred Kwan.” And I said, “Well, no, that’s an Asian guy. I can’t play an Asian guy! Why don’t you get an Asian guy? There’s a lot of guys out there who could knock this out of the park!” He said, “No, no, no, we think you should do this thing.” And I said [Sighs.] “Well, I can’t play an Asian guy. I won’t play an Asian guy. But I will play a guy who plays an Asian guy.”
So Dean said to me, “Why don’t you take a look at the pilot for Kung Fu?” You know, the David Carradine show? “Because that was a guy who wasn’t an Asian guy playing an Asian guy.” This got really convoluted. [Laughs.] So I watched David Carradine, and then we found out that there was this rumor-I don’t think it was a rumor, I think it was a legend-that David Carradine just smoked a lot of weed on that show. That was the thing. That’s how he was able to channel that kind of Zen, unflappable character. So we decided, “Well, maybe that’s what happened to Fred, too: He just became this kind of burnout.” And then we just kind of rewrote it as we went along. Dean and the writers, we just kind of made it up as we went along, based on that idea: that he’d smoked an enormous amount of pot.
This film does get to another level of funny with you two guys 😂😂😂
I'm a STAR TREK fan for over 30 years and I love this movie! 🖖😌
i forgot sam rockwell was in this. he's so underrated. i personally have him in my top 3 favourite actors of all time.
This is such a great homage film to sci-fi, I’m glad that in these later years it’s being recognized for how good it is and how so many enjoy it.
If I’m feeling crappy, this is one of those I put on.
I remember going to see this movie in theaters. I was really worried it was going to make fun of Star Trek, but instead it was more of a homage, and it was fantastic.
Love that you pointed out the "Well FUCK THAT" overdub - I've read both ways (that they intended that all along vs. they were forced to censor it), but I don't care - it was a laugh out loud scene the first time I saw it in the theater! Great scene in one of the most surprisingly good movies I've ever seen!
They weren’t forced to censor it, the studio decided to seek a PG rating instead of PG-13 to help the movie reach a wider audience and they dubbed it, but didn’t shoot an alternate, so it’s so obvious. Just one of the quirks that makes this movie amazing
The casting director really earned their pay on this one. Not only the top line cast, but even most of the Thermians have gone on to be constantly working and in some cases get iconic roles of their own. Plus Justin Long.
I saw this the first day it was released before it was pulled and recut to PG.
Fred smokes a bowl throughout the entire movie. (see how it fits)
Look at her lips and you can see Sigourney say "FUCK THAT" at 'the chompers'.
It was hilarious. It deserves an original reissue.
Awww I was robbed of an R rated version? I'd like to see that 😊
@@TheCrazyCanuck420 Watch Sigourneys mouth, she does say "Fuck that !". Mr Movies called it out. I think Mrs Movies missed it initially.
The film was NEVER pulled and recut. You never saw the version you claim, unless you were sat in the editing suite 8 months prior to the release of the movie. Why lie? Lool.
@@wiseguy100 "We had lunch with Sigourney [Weaver] who was telling us that there actually used to be an R-rated version of that movie which was awesome. It was the director’s cut and it was R-rated and everybody was swearing and there were sex scenes, and the whole thing. They didn’t know what to do with it, so they had to re-edit the whole thing and made it what it is today. We were like, ‘How do we get our hands on the R-rated version of Galaxy Quest?’ She said ‘I don’t know!’ and we were like, ‘Come on, Sigourney!’
@@ChannelReuploads9451 I know that there was originally an R Rated version. I wasn't disputing that. I was calling out the OP on seeing it before it was pulled and recut. The original edit (which was never a complete edit btw) was NEVER shown in a theatre, or anywhere else, to the public. The scenes were shot, but never assembled into a working edit. Anyone that tells you otherwise, is mis-remembering, just going with what others say on the internet, like a 'Mandela effect', or, just flat out lying.
Tony was clearly my favorite character because of his attitude towards it all. Sigourney would be a second because she is Sigourney, after all. Also, she had some of the best lines. I guess because she is a sci fi legend they could not resist having her take a few shots at the genre. I never really thought about who my favorite alien was.
Just a brilliant script! Great casting and just a fun time! So glad people are finding this movie! My fav jokes are "miners not minors".. and " let's get out of here before one of those things kills guy!".. just so funny! Everyone is my fav!!
For a long time I thought Tony Shalhoob's character was always so calm because Scotty was always so over-excited and dramatic. After about 10 rewatches I finally figured out he was just stoned 🤣
Thanks for viewing this movie! Galaxy Quest is one of my favorites. You guys reaction was priceless! Thanks for all the great content. 🤠👍
"And it exploded..."
An iconic line delivery.
Love this film every time I watch it. Rickman's performance reminds me that you NEED to watch Kevin Smith's Dogma. Brilliant
Is that one of those Jay and Silent Bob stoner doucherrbag movies?
Mr and Mrs. Movies should watch Clerks first.
One of our familie's favorite movies. My daughters loved watching this growing up. Im glad the studios decided to go with PG13 version. Great reaction as always ❤😊
@13:23 If u noticed, Sigourney got spooked by Sam's unexpected scream. She obviously didn't expect that. 😂😂😂
Tony Shaloub's character is actually stoned the entire movie. You can see smoke coming out of his pod when he is transported to the ship. He showed up on set with that brown paper bag full of snacks and told the director, "I think my character is in here." They didn't hire him for lines, since he had the fewest of the cast, they hired him because of his physical comedy.
whenever i see a savings deal I always think (in a dull voice) "by grabthars hammer....... what a savings" LMAO
A classic in every sense of the word. Great film.
Definitely recommend Three Amigos too! Did this same plot line first.
How did they film this? Every single time Rainn Wilson speaks, I crack up. I have acting training, and I wouldn't make it through a scene with him. LMAO
Great reaction! This movie is always a pleasant surprise.
What I loved was afterward; when a bunch of friends cosplayed as Thermians for Comic-Con(don't know the year). Rainn Wilson apparently adopted them as his entourage for part of the weekend. Currently still looking for the video(s)of that; especially one where they were all watching Galaxy Quest together and just being Thermians. 😎👍
It saddens me how so few people react to Enrico Colantoni. Did no youtubers ever watch "Just Shoot Me", "Flashpoint" or "Veronica Mars"?
Anyway, the guy is amazing as Mathesar! Hilarious and touching. He was the one who came up with all the mannerisms. The director told the rest of the Thermians to just do what Enrico does, because he thought it was so damn funny. 😁
I've seen the latter. It stunned me when I first rewatched this and was, "Wait...haven't I seen you some- holy sh**, Veronica's dad???"
I only just noticed and I've repeat watched for years. When taken to the ship in the first place, when guy screams, look at Sigourney. She almost jumped through the roof
One of the funniest movies ever. I miss Alan Rickman!!
It may not mean much, but when I get off work you guys are my favorite show to watch! ☺️
I watched this as a kid knowing jack about Trek; only watched a few TNG episodes in passing my parents had on. Don't think I ever made a Trek connection back at the time. This was instantly one of the best movies I had ever seen, and having watched nearly all of the Trek that was out at the time now, I'm so happy that the experience has only gotten richer, and completely holds up.
Sooo glad I found this channel - you two are the most adorable couple and your reviews are always candid and fun.
It's... almost like watching a movie with your mates.
Oh, and Galaxy Quest is the legit funniest SF comedy ever made, and an all-time classic.
By the Hammer of Grabthar... what a savings.
"By Grapthars hammer by the sons of Morvan you shall be avenged" This movie is incredible enough said!Grwat reaction guys😊So many memorable moments and quotes haha "Her translator is broken" "Shrieks and screams" "Okie dokie"😂
Also"Bears beets battlestar galactica"😂
I saw this in the theater with my brother. We had low expectations going in and it was top 5 of all time when it was over. Incredible cast, great script, and the VFX still hold up.
24:05 - Oh, he's got more than just snacks in that "snack bag." I swear, Shaloub's character is so totally high this entire film.
As a fan of star trek, I love this movie so much. 😄
1:42 quest hits the most perfect note that was a superb toning.-Ernie Moore Jr.
Finally you watched this comedy gem!
The reason that Tony Shaloub was so chill was that he just smoked a joint. The studio made the director cut that scene. Once you know that, all his behavior makes sense.
Also, the studio insisted on editing the word fuck and made Sigourney Weaver say screw instead. The director was so annoyed he left the original take in so everyone knows what she said.
They were making a PG-13 movie and the studio realized that they could make a couple small cuts to get a PG release for all the weekend family money.
@Verasoul yeah, you are right, but I am getting sick and tired about all decisions being strictly on a monetary basis and not letting the director make the movie they want. The last time I checked, I'm also a consumer. In fact, I probably go to more movies than any other of the demographics. I want to see a creative genius' vision and not something done by a studio committee.
Tony Shaloub / Fred Kwan play TSgt. Chen on the show and whenever Fred is reminded of his character he... squints. Subtle commentary.
@@arandomnamegoeshere yeah, he didn't want to play an Asian character so they included the line "Kwan isn't even my real name" and he took inspiration from David Carradine who played Kwai Chang Caine. It's rumored that Carradine got through it by being high all the time so they included that in his character.
@@peterlenihan1613 It's very sad that Director's Cuts for PG+13 versions of PG movies don't exist.
"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."
Can not really choose a favourite from the good guys, though Mathesar is brilliant. My favourite of the movie may well be Robin Sachs as General Sarris. A distinguished actor in his own right both in the UK & US though you could never recognise him as Sarris. He also had played in the Star Trek TV series - THOUGH of course he may well come into second place behind Alan Rickman, so brilliant in everything he did. Have admired him since I first noticed him in Truly, Madly, Deeply. Worth watching, like "Ghost" but the English version. Both made in 1990
Robin, who passed away some years ago, is also best known for playing devious warlock Ethan Rayne on some episodes of "Buffy The Vampire Slayer".
I listened to a reviewer that made the point that Galaxy Quest isn't just a parody or a tribute - its a meta-commentary about the fandom, cast and crew, and is done from a place of real love and affection for Trek and sci-fi in general. And I love all the actor's performances in this movie, everyone hits the mark perfectly.
"OH, SCREW THAT!" My favorite moment in science fiction ever.
36:13 "Bold choice"... indeed, I can't think of anything boulder!
Enrico Colantoni (who played Mathesar) based his speech patterns off a vocal practice he did before auditions
You guys realize the gag with Tony shalhoub's character is that he was stoned with the munchies the entire time.
_You blew it!_
The DVD has the alternate audio soundtrack of all actors speaking in _Thermian._
_Ar, ar, raaaa!_
A hilarious end of a hilarious movie!
"Well fuck that" is my alltime favorite Sigourney Weaver moment. It could only be topped if she had had gotten her wish to film the final confrontation from Alien while completely nude. She did get the opportunity for that during A Map of the World.
Enrico Calantoni (head Thermian) invented the alien mannerisms and held classes for the other actors. Supposedly, Tony Schaloub's (spl) character was high through the whole movie as his coping mechanism for forced early retirement. He was also named Chen so when the aliens called him out he squinted his eyes to stay in character. Love the movie and you guys did a great reaction. Thanks.
Yes, Officer Chen was stoned. This was filmed as an R rated movie and the studio changed their minds. The scene with the joint was cut. Also, the idea of Tony Shaloub playing a guy named Chen was poking fun at David Carridine in Kung Fu.
@@curtismartin2866
My good man, I think you will find they were poking fun at Chekov from the original Star Trek show. He was supposed to be Russian, but obviously wasn't. "Nuclear Wessels" is a famous phrase that he used that is not at all Russian. Yeah, yeah.. it's the future and accents change over time and that's always the canonical reason but there's no way that was a conscious choice when it was filmed. Sticks out like a sore thumb.
The thing that you are thinking about is that "Tony Shaloub" got inspiration for acting stoned from David Carridine's performance in "kung fu: the legend continues", but it didn't have anything to do with the race-swap, that was the scriptwriter.
@@Towelgravy I've read specificly that they were trying to spoof the whole obviously not Asian thing and that Kung Fu was part of that. And the internet is always right.... 🙄
@@curtismartin2866 True, that means we are both right then anyways lol. To me, this is a spoof of science fiction.. so I look to the science fiction shows to see what they spoofed. I don't see any connection between "Galaxy quest" and "kung fu", other than this.. so I wouldn't have compared the two in any way except for the actor talking about it after.
@@Towelgravy there may have been something on the cutting room floor. This was filmed as a R rated movie and the studio changed their mind.
Tony Shalhoub is just so nonchalant about everything and I love it LOL 😂
The character is supposed to be high, but the studio wanted the film to be PG-13.
as said, Chen was supposed to be permanently stoned, hence why he was so chill and always eating.
His calm delivery of horrible engineering news with Thermians flying around and blowing up behind him is too funny.
