GALAXY QUEST - WTF Happened To This Movie?

- Hollywood has had its fair share of historically troubled productions. Whether it was casting changes, actor deaths, fired directors, in-production rewrites, constant delays, budget cuts or studio edits, these films had every intention to be a blockbuster, but were beset with unforeseen disasters. Sometimes huge hits, sometimes box office bombs.
In our latest episode we explore the 1999 surprise hit GALAXY QUEST, which had a long road to making it to the big screen. Starring Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Sam Rockwell, Tony Shalhoub, Daryl Mitchell, Enrico Colantoni, Justin Long and Missi Pyle, this riff on Star Trek, directed by Dean Parisot, eventually got over its hurdles and made a galactic splash at the box office. Now, if we could just get that sequel...

They "accidentally" made one of the best science fiction fandom movies EVER. Too funny. I love every bit of it. It's really spectacular.
I TOTALLY AGREE, It Was Really EXHILARATING EXTREMELY AWESOME 😎!!!!!
Watched it last night for the first time and it was insanely fun!
Great moment
Me op
best star trek movie.......isn't a star trek movie xD
"It respected the fans". Those were the good old days.
This has to be one of the best cast movies of all time, every single actor in it was brilliant, this movie had no business being this freakin good but here we are... what a great movie
I think it's really neat they encouraged improv. I heard someone say the scream when they see the aliens genuinely scared the shit out of Sigourney Weaver in the shot.
Galaxy Quest laughed with us, not at us. It was a thing of beauty and beauty can be hilarious.
Now whos laughing ;)
It was kind of laughing at the actors though. Although maybe they're redeemed in the film too, its not so gentle with them
Very well said.
You speak truth.
Sure. But it never laughed at the fans. Fans know deep down how ridiculous some of the things they love are, and sometimes that’s one of the reasons we love them.
But galaxy quest did someone almost unheard of now. It didn’t laugh at its fan base (fictional at the time). In recent years fans haven’t been respected very much. This really was a love letter.
This movie was so awesome. Every actor played the hell outta the roles.
I was amazed to hear that the studio exec actually called to apologize for not marketing the film properly. Even the studio didn't know what they had.
Pitch perfect casting & effects
Agreed!
I cant say much more. I will say. There could be a reproduction of it. An you could have an actual show. But we have one. So....I know why people aren't talking about it.The Orville is a really great show.
Agreed
To me, this is a masterpiece, the actors, the comedy, the drama, the story in general.
One of the best movies of this genre ever made. The cast was perfect, the effects still hold up to a large degree and the story is just unstoppable.
This movie did kick ass. Sigourney looked incredible.
Sex Sells is something for idiots.
It's even stated IN THE MOVIE that stupid fans only care
about sex sells and hot actors.
So you're an idiot, yes? No? Yes?
@Leo Martin yeah she was!😎✌
@@slevinchannel7589 Ooh.. we got a badass here.
@@slevinchannel7589 Sex didn't 'sell' the movie. THE MOVIE 'sold' the movie.
But I'm not dead. I absolutely will take a moment to appreciate the female form when presented with the opportunity to do so. It is a simple pleasure in life, one of the most basic, in fact. I could deny my nature, but what pleasure is there in that? It's not like my appreciation for an attractive woman harms anyone. And Leo Martin's initial remark is completely valid. Sigourney Weaver looks stunning.
I know some people seek to denigrate others for enjoying harmless, private indulgences, but I feel those individuals probably lead sad, pathetic lives and spew their derision out of jealousy. Or perhaps guilt. Or maybe both.
So, to sum it up, you're just a hateful little troll, yes? No? *_YES._*
Agreed!
Also, “I have one job on this ship! It’s stupid, but I’m gonna do it!”
I say this at work at least once a week.
Me too, lol
We all do, Diane, we all do....
It's a great quote.
You work on a ship?
@Ryan Hughes that and “This episode was badly written!”
Tim Allen was the PERFECT choice for the role ... loved this show
Tim Allen was good for the part like Seinfeld was good for his part in Seinfeld. There needs to be a "normal" person amidst all the of the comic relief that we can relate to.
This video failed to show the great acting in the scene where Taggert (Tim Alan) convinces the alien friend that they are “pretending”. Though it was briefly mentioned.
When they showed all thee other actors that they wanted to play that roll all I can say was nope.
Alan Rickman admitted in an interview that while he wasn't a fan of science fiction he signed on to do this movie as he found it to funny to pass up.
Yes may l
Alan be remberd
"WTF happened to Galaxy Quest?"
It got done,
and it was good.
As a Nerd:
I really want to know the political consequences and all that.
I mean, the People saw the Ship at the end of the movie fly though the city - no one will
believe it's just a flashy special effect.
I want to know what happens after the movie. Ok, yeah, they do make a new show - but
what does it all mean?
Am i the only one wondering about it like this?
@Hubert Farnsworth Well, they believe Biden won fairly and that's far less likely.
@@sladewilson9741 Your cult leader lost fair and square. Get over it, snowflake.
@@k1e2n3w4 Yup, totally fair and square. The fairest ever. So fair in fact that nothing has ever been more fair. That's why they stopped counting, made up lies, funnelled in 60k votes all for the cheater... Yup, so fair. It was so fair anyone who even thinks of calling it unfair goes blind in righteous fury.
@@sladewilson9741 If there was fraud, prove it. Otherwise, go away, snowflake.
Sam Rockwell's line: "Can you fashion some sort of rudimentary lathe?", for whatever reason just kills me every time.
Lathe is a funny word because of kind of just dissipates half way through like "bra"
Get off the line, Guy! Lol
It pays homage to Star Trek TOS Season 1 Ep. 18 "Arena" where Kirk develops a "rudimentary" canon from a hollow piece of bamboo-type wood and elements, he finds from the planet he is on, to make gun powder and defeat the Gorn.
It's a fantastic line and makes it even funnier when there's a source. I LOVE this movie!!!
Thank you, it feels good to be not the only one!
For the past 5 years or so, I've got this line in my head that I can't place no matter how hard I try. I thought it was "Ohh, that's not nice" when actually it was Sam Rockwell saying "Ohh, that's not right" in this movie. So glad I watched this documentary. Still a great film and better than a lot of movies that have been made since then. It would probably win an Oscar today. :O)
I love the fact that Galaxy Quest ranked higher in the list of Star Trek movies than some of the actual Star Trek movies.
It's the second best Start Trek Movie. Just ahead of the one with the whales and just behind Wrath of Khan.
imo
@bigevilworldwide1 Literally could not be more wrong. Have you even watched the movie?
bigevileworldwide1 - That may be the dumbest most off the mark comment I have ever read on the internet. It is not mocking the genre or the fanbase but rather respectfully acknowledging it albeit with humor.
@@delta7890 I appreciated star trek more after watching this film.
@bigevilworldwide1 it's not a deconstruction or satire of the genre, its a parody.. parodies use material they love and make a joke out of it while still paying proper homage to the source material. Great parodies encapsulate and cherish what makes it great as well as what makes it weird.
that movie was soo good in the theaters, everyone was cheering and laughing, sooo good! And it aged really really well. Never give up, never surrender!
Alan Rickman was a genius, I love his performance!
He was great in everything he was in, more often than not carrying the whole story, if not at least elevating it significantly.
I own the film, and when Rickman says his catchphrase to the dying alien who idolized him, I tear up. Every time. Every. Single. Time.
That's my favourite moment of the movie.
"Oh I see you've managed to get your shirt off!"
On the other side of the coin, the aliens running kills me every time. Stay well.🙂
It so cliche and yet. Like you i'm like omg the dust in this room. I'm not crying your crying!!!!
Lyon Reese I do too. I wait for that spot just so I can hear Alan Rickman speaking those heartwarming words.
When Saraas fires on the Protector, I love Guy saying "there's a red thingy.. coming towards a green thingy...I think we're the green thingy" So understated and showing how they really are just actors who have been mistaken for professional space explorers and heroes. Brilliant.
I had low expectations for this movie, but saw it in the theater. Amazingly good. Perfectly written, cast, and acted. This is one of my favorite movies. Just behind Major League, or tied, as best modern comedy movie.
Major league is fantastic. Though I do have to point out that it came out in 89 so idk if a 34 year old movie can be considered modern. Galaxy quest for that matter is 24 years old.
Both are great, I'm just not sure what qualifies as modern in this case.
"By Gramthar's hammer...what a savings"
Always gets me
This. Absolutely this.
Ah Alan - we still miss you. R.I.P.
Grabthar 😊
I remember my family looking for a movie to see in theatre. We saw the movie poster for Galaxy Quest at the theatre and decided to give it a chance. It became one of our favorite movies ever.
"Oh my god, I think he just experienced acting!"
Grade A backhanded compliment.
It is also very British and not meant unkindly, like it might be if an American said it. If you have British male friends, backhanders are about the only complements you are going to get.
@@TheToledoTrumpton😂
Shade was definitely thrown.
@@TheToledoTrumpton nope. The really funny thing is they do mean it.
I can see what Harold Ramis meant by “don’t cast anyone from sci-fi”. If Spiner, Frakes, Stewart or anyone from Trek was even in the background, it would pull me out of the film immediately. But Alien is SUCH a different film than either the fictional Galaxy Quest show or this movie that I never once thought “Oh. It’s Ripley.”
I missed Jonesy the cat 😸
well, not until the duct scene
I still lol to myself thinking of the line: "oh... those poor people" response to "Surely you don't think Gilligan's Island was real!"
The "historical documents" lol
Every one of Sam Rockwell's lines is hilarious, and his delivery is perfect.
His scream that genuinely scares sigourney weaver is hilarious 😂😂😂
My favorite line was in fact the "OH THAT'S NOT RIGHT!" bit, lol.
the running joke of him being crewman number six was hilarious throughout the entire movie
@@vodengc520 "DO I? DO I?"
I am continually amazed by all his great performances. This was no exception.
Galaxy Quest is an underrated masterpiece from the 90's, and one of the best Sci-Fi action adventure movies ever. It's Tim Allen's best as an action hero, Allan Rickman's (RIP) best as a supporting good guy, and among Sigourney Weaver's best.
Okay, settle down. It was a fun movie, but let's not get carried away. It's not a masterpiece by any stretch, nor is it anywhere close to being the best work by Weaver or Rickman. As for it being "Tim Allen's best as an action hero," what other action hero roles has he played?
You mean her breast 😎
@@johnbaxter3092
Okay, johnny boy, you calm the eff down, now. 227 likes to your 3. You may be right in a lot of ways, but so may the other guy. I love this movie a lot, just like Down Periscope. Very entertaining. Fun to watch. And I acknowledge whole-heartedly that just because a majority doesn't mean it's right, and that a lot of people may not open the replies section to most comments, 227-3 is quite a significant rift. Nice breakdown, however, on your part.
@@johnbaxter3092 As a long time Sci-Fi fan, I cannot begin to describe how much I love this movie! I don’t think you understand all the subtle references this movie makes (perhaps you do, but don't care) - humor is a very important element for me. If you prefer more serious/horror movies that is fine - it is subjective. I respect that you don’t think it is great, but I can only say I beg to differ! Each genre has its charm, and as a comedy Sci-fi this really is brilliant in my option.
Bloody brilliant movie. It was on free to air telly last night. We also have the dvd in the cabinet.
This movie literally saved my life. Just before watching it for the first time, my wife had commented, "If you say that "Darmok and Jilad at Tenagra" crap one more time, I shall kill you." I owe Alan Rickman a huge debt of gratitude.
Shaka. When the walls fell

"Let's get out of here before one of those things kills Guy!"
I don't even have a last name!!
They really needed to put him in a red shirt.
That was great
@@mattbutts8794 agreed and after he said I don't even have a last name zoom in on the red shirt and then pan out and everybody in the group is looking at the red shirt but they don't say anything maybe they look at each other
LOL! One of my favorite lines! =)
"I think he just experienced Acting..." probably the best line by Alan Rickman ever.
And it just feels so Alan Rickman-esque to drop a one-liner that's both a burn and a compliment.
@@jasonblalock4429 i can even hear it in his voice... and it makes me so sad.
Sounds like a line RDJ's character in Tropic Thunder would say about Ben Stiller's.
Nah, best line was “By Granthar’s Hammer.... what a saving....”
There's a similarly great quip from Laurence Olivier to Dustin Hoffman during the filming of Marathon Man. Dustin Hoffman arrived for shooting a bit worse for wear, so Olivier asked him how his week went. Hoffman tells him that he had stayed up for three days straight to shoot a scene because the script said the character had the look of someone who'd been up for three days. Olivier paused for a bit at the absurdity, and then said, "Why don’t you just try _acting?_ ”
Best line for me was about their response to the incredulity of “Gilligan’s Island” being a “historical document” saying with straight faces “Oh those poor people”...the film was a classic - thanks for the background to it...
Best line for me was Weaver totally buying into Sam Rockwell's "redshirt" mentality: "Let's get out of here before one of those things kills Guy!"
My favorite line was when Guy says, "Can you form some sort of rudimentary lathe". Hysterical! Definitely one of my favorite movies!
Hands down one of the greatest movies ever produced. Thank you Galaxy Quest cast, for providing us with this awesome homage to everything Trek.
Sigourney Weaver looked so damn hot in this movie.
@Daniel Rodriguez lol.I heard it matched the wig.
She looked surprisingly amazing as a blonde
I like her but what about a certain cute alien?
And...she was 50 at the time!!
Was amazed to see her in it. Glad she has a sense of humour.
I remember my sister and I went to see Galaxy Quest on its opening night upon its release. There were about 15 people in the theater. (The scene were Tommy brings the Interceptor out of dock, drifting to the side and having it screeching horribly remains one of the funniest scenes I have ever seen). We liked it so much, we went and saw it again the next weekend . . . and the place was packed.
I never heard of it when it was in the theaters at the time..I remember seeing Toy Story 2 and Any Given Sunday. If they would have released it in March, I think it would have made the 100 million mark.
Dominic Graziano In fact, I went with a friend to a theatre that was small because it was Gold Class and there was only room for a few people. But the others we met were SF fan friends and we rolled around laughing and enjoying because yes, we recognised ourselves in it!
I was part of the 'second wave'. I heard how awesome it was and decided to give it a go. I was not disappointed.
@@olliehopnoodle4628 i was p[art of theem both..i seen it a few times while it was on its run in nz
I saw it in the theaters with my brother. We both loved it. And it has remained a favorite ever since. I don't know for sure whether we saw it during the 'first wave' or 'second wave', although I suspect it was the first, but there was pretty good turnout in the seats.
Adding the character “Guy” to this movie was genius, they thought of every last detail to get this movie right .
Sam Rockwell just makes everything better. He was perfectly cast.
He's the foil-- he's just like Adam Eget to Norm Macdonald. Every good hero needs a clumsy and terrible sidekick, or bumbling fool lmao.
“We better get outta here before someone kills Guy....”
@@tishtashtishtash that was easily my favorite line in the movie...
Everyone always joked about the Star Trek 'redshirts'. If you are beaming down with the capt and the chief engineer, and you are wearing a red shirt... you know you are dying. Guy knew his fate. Poor guy did not even have a real first name ha ha
I have less than 10 DVDs, this is one of them. So funny and underappreciated in its time
This movie is such GOLD! Never been so excited about something I've watched like 2 million times
Galaxy Quest is one of my favorite movies. It's pure gold!
Galaxy Quest....Still better than 99.9% of modern "serious" Sci-fi movies.
Better than new trek and star wars by a long mile.
@Jeffery Amherst, I totally agree.
Sadly, true.
I had been sick for several days and was feeling cruddy. My sister was bored and wanted to do something. Our folks were stressed due to their jobs but felt sorry for me being stuck in bed for almost a week, so we decided we'd go to a movie. Mom wanted to see something else, but I really just wanted something fun & silly so we decided "Galaxy Quest" would be an okay enough experience to be worth the cheap matinee ticket prices. We periodically *still* talk about how much we all enjoyed this amazing movie. :-)
I remember the first time I saw Galaxy Quest. I'd never heard of it, before, and the blurb for it on Nextflix sounded interesting. I am so glad I took the time to watch this gem of a movie, and it will always remain a favorite of mine. (I have since lost track of how many times I've seen it, but I fully intend to buy the DVD so that I can watch it, again, whenever the mood strikes.)
Outstanding movie, outstanding cast. Their enthusiasm came shining through. Alan Rickman, God bless you. You are sorely missed.
By Grabthar's Hammer, I shall never give up, never surrender my love for this love letter to us, the fans of Galaxy Quest.
Travis King What a savings.
@@Custerd1Alan Rickman was genius in this film. And yes, Tim Allen acted well. As well as the rest of the cast.
Good video. As comprehensive as it was, you left an important detail out. The weekend it was released, I believe the studio or the distributor and the largest movie chain at the time had a dispute, which caused Galaxy Quest to not be in a lot of theaters across the country. Despite there being a theater where I lived, we had to drive forty minutes to see it. I'm not sure how much this cut into it box office, but I remember it was credited at the time as severely hurting the numbers.
A perfect song. A perfect book. A perfect movie. They are so rare in life. Galaxy Quest is a perfect movie.
This is a great movie.
Blends comedy, drama, sci fi, action, and homage brilliantly.
Cast is fantastic in it.
Everybody involved really made the most of the concept and script.
Perfect for the whole family really, something for everyone to enjoy.
Fun time and heartfelt.
Exactly how I think of this movie. I totally agree with everything you said.
So true, and you just wonder will Hollywood ever learn. Have a good and enthusiastic cast, an inspired capable directer. And no interference of the suits who know best and you end up with a good product.
The Orville is the true homage.
Most of all it's predicated on love and respect for the fans, instead of a desire to mock, belittle, and lecture them
Sometimes you find a comment that totally says it all... this is one of those times.
I loved the movie, it parodied Star Trek without being insulting.
I think it’s because it’s a loving parody, not a hateful one. It absolutely comes through that it comes from a place of love.
@@tookitogo I think Shatner would dissagree, but he deserves it!
@@deejarvisful Are you kidding? Supposedly, Tim Allen and Shatner became friends because of it.
@@tookitogo Right, it was a loving parody of Star Trek, as opposed to, say, everything J.J. Abrams did.
p3.orion Yep. To me, JJ Abrams is the King Midas of turning things to shit: everything he touches becomes a turd.
I remember seeing this the first time and being surprised at how good it was. I didn’t expect it to be so damn good.
I *so* love the "Historical Documents" motif.
"I see you managed to get your shirt off..." Alan Rickman, could deliver a line
Lmao
Rickman was wonderful in this
R I P sir
My favorite line from the whole movie.
I read that in his voice
@@muznick - Mine was "Oh, those poor people!"
Jason Nesmith, "Where are you going?"
Alexander Dane, "To see if there's a pub!"
Best line of the movie next to "Well fuck that!"
"Don't open that! It's an alien planet! Is there air? Youdunno!!!" Ah that's good stuff
That's what i think when i watch star wars
I love that he ends the rant by taking a huge gulp of air
Jeffrey seems ok
It was at that moment that I fell in love with Sam Rockwell.
@@seen203 Box of Moonlight made me a Rockwell fan and Galaxy Quest and Green Mile confirmed his amazing range.. let alone released at the same time.
Can’t imagine this movie with any other actors! To this day whenever I meet someone named Guy I hear inside my head, “Mmmm... GUY.” 😂
If I knew anybody named Guy, that would be their ringtone.
Thank goodness Robin Williams didn't get Allen's part.
The line from Crewman #6, Episode 82 that I use the most, is "Can you fashion some form or rudimentary lathe?"
@@Trollificusv2 "GET OFF THE LINE GUY" lol
"OHHHHTHATs not riiighttt".. i laff my ass off, every friggin time... u cant help it..
Miss Weaver has a habit of being unconventionally sexy in just about every role she's had. She is one attractive woman.
And looks AMAZING as a blonde!!!!!!
Like I said, a sexy blonde in a catsuit version....what's not to like.
Here...here!
You should see her in the movie "Ice Storm"...….HOT!!
Somewhat uncomfortably in Snow Cake. Oddly enough, also starring Alan Rickman.
6:25, Alan Rickman is still awesome even though he's no longer with us.
Amen to that!
Poorly worded my guy. Why does the fact he's no longer with us possibly not make him awesome? He's awesome period.
Alan Rickman was awesome, it's a shame he's no longer with us.
Every actor in this movie did their part in making it great. And, not to downplay or disrespect any of them; but a re-make of this movie without Alan Rickman as Alexander Dain WOULD be disrespectful and nothing short of a crime.
@@JohnnySnipshow That is because some people tend to believe that once you die, everything you were comes to an end.
3:50 I don't know what others think about "star power", but I was drawn to Galaxy Quest entirely because of Tim Allen. It was a great movie.
Same, this was a great time for Tim Allen. Home Improvement, The Santa Clause, etc.
I love 💘 this show. Alan Rickman's deep voice still gives me chills. He is definitely missed! RIP Alan! Tim Allen is so under rated, his dry sense of humor is priceless.
Actors he's worked with have all said that Tim Allen is an underrated actor.
i agree they both did so well in the film....when Alan Rickmans character finally accepted his role during the death of an alien and fan of him and he said the motto.....i couldnt believe i was feeling emotional during a comedy like this.....Alan was so amazing in anything he did he could switch on a dime and make you really feel the moment....and the chemistry or anti-chemistry i should say between Tim and Alan on the show was so funny.
@@mdub2000 It seems obvious, but having good actors who can convey that heart is really key. to a film's endurance. Marvel is smart not to rely exclusively on CGI and smart ass dialogue in its MCU, and bring in great actors even for relatively small roles - e.g. Mark Ruffalo, Sam Jackson - or literally small roles - i.e. Paul Rudd.
@@aquamarine99911 I agree....i loved all those actors even before they got into the MCU....especially Mark Ruffalo i was such a big fan and the whole thing he went through regarding the brain issue he overcame. Good actors can make a great script legendary by how they convey the spirit of that character.
" I see you managed to get your shirt off" oh god, I died...
Galaxy Quest and Tropic Thunder are great comedies with a similar premise and different settings.
Don't forget about "Three Amigos"!
@@SchlyterMia ah, thank you sir.
Well, except for the aliens. And starships. The satirical fan-base. Time travel. Severed human parts. Pyrotechnics. And the premise seemed also quite different…the only thing I can really think of is they were both very funny.
Tell it to Coach Tomato
Ummm a group of actors are thrown into a real life situation that mirrors what they play. They don't realize at first that things are real. Then they reach the point where they realize that everything is real and they have to stop being cowardly actors and really do what they've been pretending to do all these years?
You really don't see those similarities?
"Let's get out of here before one of these things kills Guy " LMAO!!!!!
One of our favorite lines as a family... dont know why but we just blurt it out randomly.
@@SynnJynn,us too! Lol
1Dudelove plucky?
Is there air???? You don't know!!!
@dmt does the rolling help? Lol
"And it exploded." How many takes to get it without him laughing during the scene?
Top ten favorite lines in any movie, the delivery gets me every time!
"Ahhhhhh,....young Laredo,..how you have grown ".
When I sold my house last year I donated most of my 350+ DVDs to my church's rummage sale. Galaxy Quest was one of the 7 that I kept.
Well now I feel obligated to ask what the titles of the other 6 you kept were.
We're still curious doug!
@@toxicvillain Stuart Little, The Green Mile, Toy Story 2, The Man on the Moon, Any Given Sunday and two extra Galaxy Quest copies.
The other 6 were Traci Lords early work.
saving them for firewood when the apocalypse hits?
This IS the most underrated film I can think of.
Hell yeah, I'm surprised people don't talk about it a lot more often.
With Mars Attacks coming a close second. Lost in Space & Red Planet were not of the same standard.
Army of darkness
This and Mystery Men for me
Predator 2
Saw this in theater opening night with my fellow Star Trek nerd friends. We cheered and laughed. It was freakin' awesome. .They captured lightning in a bottle with this film.
Something so great should never have a sequel.
20 years on and I still quote Guy directly with; "Oh... That's not right!"
Same. There's probably not a week goes by that I don't slip it in somewhere :)
or "Never Give Up Never Surrender"
still quote "and it exploded"
Has it been 20 years LOL!
I KNOW... don't remind me that I'm old.
lmao
I’m old enough to have watched the original Star Trek series while I was in high school - Galaxy Quest was a great, wonderful movie - it was fun, entertaining and had great characters. It was a rare gem found among a long list of mediocre and sometimes awful product that comes from Hollywood.👍👍🚀🚀👍👍
Linn Haramis : I so agree! This movie is fantastic. I also enjoyed the original Star Trek series as a teen in high school and my dad really liked it too........when it was cancelled, he was very ticked-off.
A tad older, I was working night shift when Star Trek was on. Found it when the reran it in the afternoon. Love Galaxy Quest !
Yup, me too!
I am a bit younger, but my mom was the Star Trek fan in the family and I remember her sitting us down with her so she would have an excuse to watch the show. LOL
The DVD for this movie stands proudly with my Star Trek movie DVDs on my shelf
Nearly pissed myself laughing when they turned the pig lizard inside out
This movie shows the care that some of the newer remakes of larger franchises lack.
Never give up, never surrender!
"Am I to late for Alexander's panic attack?"
"Let's get out of here before one of those things kills Guy"
"But the animal is inside out"
"And it exploded"
"This episode was badly written!"
Really is one of my favorites and very underrated. Great story and direction, plus the cast put it on the line and delivered a hilarious comedy that turned into a pretty damn good movie by the end.
"IT'S AN ALIEN PLANET! IS THERE AIR!?!? ..YOU DON'T KNOW!"
1999 was such an unbelievable year for movies. It's really a miracle that such a hard to pigeonhole project could get traction. I had heard that it was surprisingly good, so went to see it in the first week. You better believe I was part of that word of mouth that saved it. I praised it to many doubting friends, convincing them that they HAD to see it.
This still is one of my favorite films!
The story of this movie demonstrates that studio execs have NO CLUE who their audience is. "Oh, that's not right"...one of my favorite lines.
I think most of all it shows that you cannot really plan success and a lot of luck is involved. Studios should let the filmmakers do their job, for better or worse.
"Can you fashion a rudimentary lathe?"
"GET OFF THE LINE GUY!"
I saw this a few years ago dont know maybe 25 years . I thought it was the best film ever great actors brilliant script
I kind of wish they had made that TV series that was in development in 2015, but after the death of Alan Rickman in 2016, the series was scrapped, and even Sam Rockwell said it was a good concept, but it would never be the same without him.
Any more random facts that you want to type out that were in the video?
That aside, it would be kinda cool if they did a thing in memory of Rickman. Maybe have the characters be mourning the loss of the actor, give reference to the actors other roles that were overlooked due to his popularity on the show (in a non comedic way) and get licensing for what they can to edit in imagery of actual Alan Rickman footage. If done right, could be a great way to honor him, while acknowledging he won't be joining us for the next part of this journey

This was a movie I knew almost nothing about at the time. Was just looking for something to watch and came across it. Turned into one of those movies that you can watch over and over.
This type of movie should be made often. I really love this genre.
Sigourney Weaver never looked so good as she did in this show.
and Tim Allen? He was perfect for this role he is after all the one and only Buzz Lightyear.
Alan Rickman with his deadpan comments was perfect.
I loved the fact that she kept the wig on when not filming.
I can't imagine any of those other actors nailing it as well as Tim did.
Yes 🍒🍌
They had such great actors amd every single one nailed it
Springboard 19 If you need a washed up TV actor with a big ego, no one’s more perfect for that role than the tool man.
My 5 yr old daughter loved this movie so much that she borrowed my VHS copy of it and still has it to this day. That was over 15 years ago now.
One of the best Sci-Fi comedies ever made. I´m a huge fan of this movie.
Loved this movie. Actors playing roles they normally dont is just brilliant. One of the absolut best mix of
comedy and seriousness ever made.
I loved the crew's reaction when Laredo was piloting the ship out of space dock and scraping the sides.
I love Galaxy Quest, its a masterpiece
@Dom LS1 I think it's only within the last couple of years that I've seen it. I don't know why it wasn't on my radar until now. Perhaps because I thought it was a spoof film but it isn't. While there are obvious references, it is more akin to the Three Amigos, people who are just actors put into a real life situation.
@Dom LS1 But the space setting allows for a lot more possibilities. It still amazes me who they got for the cast. I'm glad they were all up for it.
Never give up! Never Surrender! Damn the resonance cannons, full speed ahead!
'By Grabthar's Hammer......what a savings' - just might be the best line in cinema.
Didn't know much about it when it hit screens back in '99 just after Christmas. Went with my sister and brother just out if interest and as something to do after we'd gotten together with our folks for the holiday. Had the time of our lives - and went straight back in to watch it again. Unforgettable moment - and an all-time favorite for all of us from that day on. Now, our kids get it and love it too (all on their own ;)
no sequel, we dont always need a sequel. leave quality alone.
You nailed it, or should I say, Neil'd it. (Sorry).
@@taketimeout2share 😂
Agreed.
What would you say to an alternate sequal where the Galaxy Quest show and crew were replaced by Firefly's.
I could see them do a sequel, and even have it revolve around Nesmith having to deal with Alexander Dane's (Dr. Lazarus) unexpected death, how it soured his passion for the revived (and now cancelled) Galaxy Quest show, and how the new adventure has to get him over this loss.
I'm glad they never made a sequel - it would've been impossible to top perfection. Galaxy Quest was simply brilliant - I must have watched it a dozen times now.
This was just epic to me , totally needs a sequel
Yes but... how could a sequel ever manage to be good enough?
@@Aurinkohirvi it would only work if they had the old cast .....prolly won’t work without Alan Rickman
@@Aurinkohirvi Benedict Cumberbatch playing an Alan Rickman brother or cousin character I think could patch it up. Just a fan suggestion here.
@@brandonk8948 Somebody mention Richard E Grant not too long ago.
I had the honour of meeting Enrico Colantoni (Mathesar) when my daughter worked on a movie with him.
He was very kind and welcoming and seemed delighted to talk about his experiences while shooting Galaxy Quest.
I asked him what it was like to meet Sigorney Weaver and Alan Rickman and he said that all the cast members were fun to be around. I asked him how he came up with the voice of Mathesar and he replied, “I just channeled my ‘inner alien’”.
He introduced me to his lovely wife and autographed my Galaxy Quest DVD. He wrote, “To Vera, Never Give Up, Never Surrender! Enrico Colantoni”
Of course it was a wonderful experience and I watch the movie at least a couple of times each year.
I even wrote an idea for a sequel starring Enrico, where HE plays a character that experiences an encounter with the true Thermians. As many cameos as possible by the other Galaxy Quest cast would naturally be included, but Mr. Rickmans passing made me lose interest.
If Mr. Rickmans family was agreeable, footage of him could be used when other characters referred to his tragic death, and that would be a way to explain his absence and allow the story to continue.
This is one of my all-time favorite movies. I don't know how they assembled such an incredible cast with such a limited budget. It still holds up quite well.
That man is effing brilliant. "you made a perfect Gumbo, but didn't invite anyone to dinner".
I wish we had more people who understood exactly what that means.
This has actually happened to a lot of really good movies, just because they didn't have faith in the film. It's sad, they don't even try sometimes.
Promotion is important, but in the end, movies still have to find their own audiences. Besides, Galaxy Quest made twice as much as it cost, so it was a success. What makes anyone think it should have done better?
Yup, an excellent way of putting it! The movie was so underrated!
@@tanuki2898 The studios tanked Idiocracy because they were worried about lawsuits from fast food chains. They didnt even bother to put it out in theaters.
That happens with a lot of movies that are pet projects which get tossed around. Like Treasure Planet, which was a pretty good movie but was really badly advertised.
This is one of those few movies I could watch over and over.
So underrated. Saw it as a kid and was blown away. Never got the cred it deserved.
Galaxy Quest: "A chillingly realistic documentary". - Sulu
"We gotta get out of here before one of those things kills guy!" "Is there air? You don't know". Ah, the unending joy I receive from this movie. I love it.
"it's the little things in life that we cherish most..." *smile*
LOL. I quote this line to this day. :D
The first quote from "Gwen" Sigourney Weaver is one of the funniest lines of any movie ever that goes unnoticed by most. Second would be off of "The Water Boy" when Paul says that Bobby is the heart and soul of the team and then John adds "And the only one who could've passed that test"!
The quote about Guy is one of my favourites in the movie along with 'minors not miners' 😂👍👏
Tracy S Doesn’t he hold his breath after saying “Is there air?” LOL
@@OurFantasyLife "Do I? Do I?"
The whole cast was perfect, but holy shit, I have never seen somebody play absolute disgust on a level even close to Rickman.
What a titan.
"I see you managed to get your shirt off."
I love this movie it's just so funny and intelligently done and all the cast were perfect in their roles.
I LOVED this movie. One of the most UNDERRATED flicks out there. A completely original parody idea. In an age where EVERYTHING is copied these days, this movie was super refreshing.
Not really an original idea, but it was so well done it deserves recognition. This movie is great.
J S I had never seen anything like it that comedically spoofed a sci-fi show like Star Trek. Unless you’re counting Spaceballs. But even then it’s two completely different movies.
@@PapiSorrels One example is how Futurama did it famously with DOOP, with star captain Zap Branigan and Kiff, as did a lot of other cartoons and comic books.
J S I see. Considering a few see those compared to movies. But I get your point.
@vestiphobe *eyeroll* I'm no Trekkie, and don't enjoy old Sci-fi all that much.... but cmon, you don't judge classics by modern standards
The best thing is that after all these years, this still plays well for fans new and old. That’s because it plays as an homage and satire. It’s damn fun.
I never get tired of it, the same with Pleasantville. For some odd reason both are never old had to me
Mark Holle I think it’s because it’s a loving parody, not a hateful one. It absolutely comes through that it comes from a place of love.
A really great trip back to the making and magic of Galaxy Quest. Thanks for putting this together you did the movie proud.
Fun Fact/Story:
After I watched this with my friends back then we decided to watch it a second time with the alien language on. Yes, the DVD had language track for the entire movie where everyone is speaking in this hilarious alien voice!
So, we were watching it and after a while the novelty wears off. Since we already know what will happen and what they say, we watched it as if this was our mother tongue. Then someone entered the room that didn't know the movie ... he watched us for some seconds, then shook his head, walked backwards and closed the door without saying anything!
He probably thought "Oh these nerds, what kind of silly crap are they doing again, who will ever understand them?" :)
And they you all laughed in Thermian. Alalalalalalala :-D
Awesome story! :D peace
