Alan Rickman deserves so much credit for his performance in this film. He spends the whole movie negating his character and absolutely despising his most famous line. But when Quellek gets shot and is about to die, he speaks the line with so much meaning into every single word that it made a lot of people cry when they heard the line. Such an amazing actor.
Such wonderful acting 😢😊
By grabthars hammer... What an actor.
in all seriousness i think his finest bit of acting of all the roles Rickman has played has to be the pause in the line "by Grabthars hammer...........what a saving" the pause is just so pained, he looks almost unable to speak as he tries and fails to form the 'W'🤣
My favorite line of his is still “Miners not minors!”
@@AutoPilate you lost me?
When Sam Rockwell lets out that blood-curdling scream after being transported to the ship, apparently it wasn't in the script and he just improvised it for one of the takes. You can see Sigourney Weaver's reaction is 100% genuine - the way she jumps and pats her chest like she's having a heart attack, and the panic in her facial reaction which happens instantly, because it's truly just an unfiltered instinctual response. It's the kind of thing that's almost impossible for even a great actor to fake. The director loved how Rockwell's scream and Weaver's genuine shocked reaction really drove home the very moment this bunch of jaded, out-of-work actors suddenly realised they were really in space. And the audience really feel it as well.
Such a great film with so many awesome anecdotes behind it.
That scream was personally my favorite line in the whole movie.
Sam Rockwell just elevates everything he does
D*** i* man do bogus journey or get out of my face hole.
@@hyteclowlife He really does! I love him!
@@hyteclowlife Do I ? Do I ?
The guy who played Mathesar came up with the strange speech and mannerisms for his character and the director loved it so much he told all the alien actors to do what he was doing.
Not exactly. He did such a good job, the director loved it and setup and 'alien school' which the guy who played Malthasar taught to all the thermians.
Actually he was using voice-training exersizes as the basis for his character's speech patterns. The walking & clapping was practiced even as they made their way around the sets between takes.
@@TheMsLourdessame difference
@@kurtn4819again, same difference. The point is the director/writers/producers didn't come up with it
These are all accurate expansions of what I said which do not negate my simplification of the facts.
So happy you guys enjoyed this! This film was a "Love letter" to the "Star Trek" franchise and truly stands the test of time.
Also, this was one of those movies that was WAY better than anyone expected or thought it ever would be.
Including the likes of Patrick Stewart
it's better then any movie like this has any right to be :> I'm so happy hhe.
It’s my favourite Star Trek movie
Never give up
Couldn't have worded it better. I was expecting this movie to be decent at best. Turns out it was great! Love it!
Fun Fact: Chen's character was so calm because he was constantly high. The movie edited out his drug use and just left the "chill" attitude as a personality quirk. They did this to get a PG Rating. In the scene with the chompers/crushers, Sigourney says "F**K This!" But they changed it to "Screw This!"
They left in clues, though. Those cheez'n'crackers, and "Wow, the floors are so clean!" He's never without his munchies, too.
But it is very heavily implied. IYKYK.
I love that they only used ADR and it's still super obvious she originally swore. lol
There's a couple parts at the very beginning you can tell her edited too. Like when he says you're so full of it man you can tell he says shit
@@deirdrestatham5730 I think that was kind of a point as well. Just like the old shows at times.
Mathesar's "but why?" is one of the most heartbreaking line deliveries in cinema history.
Patrick Stewart, who of course played the great Captain Picard, went and saw this movie in the theater based on the recommendation of Jonathan Frakes (Commander Riker). Patrick said he was cracking up at how real it was for his life as a Trek actor, and just loved how brilliant everything was. This movie was even called a perfect movie by David Mamet, who was playwright and screenwriter. He mentioned it right along with The Godfather.
Yes. I’m in good company when I say that this is my favorite movie. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched it, and I still love it every time I see it again and notice a few new details.
George Takei (Mr. Sulu) was asked what he thought of this film. He responded "I think it's a chillingly realistic documentary." 🤣
He mentioned laughing about the shirt off line.
David Howard, who wrote the screenplay, was obviously very, VERY aware of the various quirks and rough patches in the relationships among the real cast members of 'Star Trek,' from the Shatner ego dynamic, to Nimoy's difficulty w/Spock, to redshirts being very predictably expendable... There were also more subtle touches.
For example, when 'Fred Kwan' warns the bridge crew that "the ship is breakin' apart and all that, just FYI," notice that his 'super-chilled' message delivery (of this extreme emergency) is the exact opposite of how the source - Montgomery Scott - would have done it (and was well-known for doing it). For example, briefly parodied by Jim Carey in 'Ace Ventura: Pet Detective,' ..." I •CAN'T• DO IT, CAPTAIN!! I DINT HAVE THE ••POWER••!!" ...Gwen's "six paragraphs about my boobs..." is almost certainly a blending of a number of characters from different Trek series, with Uhura and Seven-of-Nine being the big influences, but with touches of Troi and Dax thrown in.
(I've also heard that Jason Nesmith's overhearing, in a public restroom, that he's a laughing stock and despised by his castmates, reflects a real-life incident that happened to William Shatner while in a restroom at an actual convention.)
This was the first time I saw Sam Rockwell in a movie and he and Tony Shaloub absolutely steal every scene they are in.😂
Sam plays one of the "teenagers " in the first TMNT film
No lies detected
Rockwell is amazing in so much, you might like him in Hitchhikers Guide!
@@AbsoluteApril I have seen it, I became a fan of his after I saw this which was the first time I noticed him. He’s a great actor
@@bemasaberwyn55 he was a lead Teen in the hideout 😅😊
I love that the ships ID number NTE-3120 means "Not the Enterprise" Also the nod to Alien & Aliens when Sigourney says "Not ducts, why is it always ducts?"
Ducts also played a big part in several Star Trek episodes. It's a trope for everybody! But it being her character to say it was perfect.
The Protector was also designed to be the opposite of the Enterprise. Straight main hull with the nacelles in the shape of a saucer.
💙LOVE this movie!!! It's a great comedy, but when Quellek is shot & tells Dr. Lazarus (Alan Rickman) he has always looked upon him as a father, I tear up. Dr. Lazarus repeats the catchphrase he formerly loathed, but now it actually means something to him.
I bawled like a baby during that scene the first time I saw the movie.
I tear up every time
Thank you for mentioning that. I was going to do the same. Seeing Alan Rickman's character say his lin and, genuinely, mean it for the first time was so powerful. As was the look on the alien's face as he died. It must have been like receiving the benediction of your God.
@@crystalfire5564 Yup, me too, even on reacts, this movie makes me laugh AND cry, everytime -> what a great movie and great actors (all of them).
Alexander learned the lesson Disney, the MCU, and pretty much the rest of Hollywood are beginning to learn; it's not about the craft after all. It's about the _audience_ .
Don't know if anyone has mentioned but after the 1st Star Trek series but before the movies Leonard Nimoy wrote a book called I Am Not Spock because he was tired of being type cast and not being able to get other work and especially everyone always asking him to say his famous line "Live Long and Prosper" but after the movies he grew to realize just how special and important the character was to people and how enduring the legacy would be and he wrote another book called I Am Spock, obviously Alan Rickman's character and his relationship with his legacy and his initial rejection and then acceptance of his famous "By Grabthar's Hammer..." line is supposed to be a direct reference to this which is great.
This movie has no right to be as good as it is. Such a classic!
I think this movie and Kung Fu Panda shared the same lightning in the bottle lol both movies that have no business being as good as they are
Alan Rickman's delivery on "You will be avenged" was downright cold-blooded and Shakespearean.
Alan Rickman was the perfect choice to play that character too, being a former stage actor. Like Patrick Stewart playing Picard, it brings a certain gravitas to the character that you can't get elsewhere.
Pretty sure others have mentioned this already but it's a good story worth repeating;
Originally Patrick Stewart (who played Jean luc Picard on Star Trek TNG) Didn't want to see this movie because he thought it would be a satire making fun of it. But a co-star contacted him telling him he HAD to go see it. Luckily, Patrick Stewart ended up loving the film, and felt it was really heartwarming that the ones who really save the day at the end were the fans of the show.
My forever go-to about this is ‘oh to be someone in that theater watching with him’.
He probably liked it because of the industry references. Also because it makes fun but not in an unappreciative way.
Imagine how amazing it would have been to be in an audience watching Galaxy Quest while Patrick Stewart laughs his ass off next to you.
As a life long Star Trek fan, and veteran of many conventions, this could have been a disaster, but the details were so lovingly and accurately done you couldn't help but love it! Then adding the excellent script, effects, and performances on top made it just perfect. It truly was a love letter to fandom.
This is def a love letter to Star Trek. And you are right about such shows helping people. If you’re a young man in search of a father figure role model, you could do a lot worse than Captain Kirk and Captain Picard.
I did have a great father figure, Tim Allen. As Tim the toolman Taylor, and from last standing. That is a man, that i could look up to, and Thats why i love most of Tim allens movie
@@Buster-cv4zk he’s a good man, agree
James Doohan (Scotty on TOS) used to tell a story at conventions about a suicidal fan who had reached out to him as a sort of last cry for help. They became regular correspondents, and she eventually turned her life around and became an engineer like Scotty.
I'll drink to that 🍻
Or Mister Spock!
Can't talk about Tim Allen without bringing up this masterpiece. Definitely one of the best *parody* movies of it's time, and even better that you don't need to be a Trekkie to enjoy this movie!
Tommy was initially supposed to be the same age as everyone else, but the crew were so impressed by Daryl Mitchell's audition that he was retooled to be a child prodigy in the original show (and incidentally making him the equivalent of Wesley Crusher).
Too bad Wesley crusher was one of the most annoying characters ever... And I can't say I'm a fan of the actor as an adult either he seems really pretentious and full of himself. I was really glad that he stopped doing the D and D stuff with penny Arcade at the pax conferences he was super annoying in them.
@@0potionyou should look up him talking about Picard. It's the most disengious, cringe thing ever.
@@DiggitySlice I used to really never be on the "Fuck Wil Wheaton" train, and never understood why he was disliked.
But my god, after seeing the unholy levels of cringe shilling he did for Picard and such, my complete and total respect for the man evaporated. There's selling out, and then there's *selling out* , and he did the 2nd one.
The level of just sheer doe-eyed, saccharine praise from him, and in the interviews and talk shows and such, was a new level of ass kissing for a show he's not even really a part of. Just ugh, truly cringe--and I hate using that word at all. But watch one clip of him talking about Picard, and just try not to physically cringe--it's impossible lol
While I figure anything in the Hollywood world could be fake, I heard that Wheaton wrote a book about his experiences and said that he was basically forced in to acting by his parents, who were very emotionally abusive to him and his siblings. So when the Next Generation cast supported him and were great to him he saw them as a surrogate family, even though they didn’t know about his home life. And yes, you can’t always trust a “tell all” book, but it certainly follows that he may have a reason to really love his former cast members. Just throwing that out there.
@@joeconcepts5552 I'm a little confused where anyone talke bad about his relationship with the cast. I'm talking about him on a personal level as an adult. And by the way if I were to write a tell all book, And compare my early childhood to his early childhood I guarantee mine would be worse than his. A rough childhood is not an excuse to be a douchebag as an adult.
Enrico Colantoni is so great as the lead alien, his facial acting having to be so over the top and silly and yet makes us feel the real emotions coming from his character, this movie is such a cult classic for me. And I do have a soft spot for a fellow Canadian 🇨🇦🍁
Galaxy Quest is not only the perfect love letter to Star Trek, but also to all sci fi fandoms for all sci fi films. You are right in that the movie could have come off super corny and cheesy, but it was so well written and so well cast that it comes off as genuine. Characters were extremely well written, the comedy was on point and the special effects still mostly hold up even today. The fact that they went with a lot of practical effects made the film that much better. GQ is one of my favorite movies of all time, and it’s extremely rewatchable.
"Miners, not minors!!!"
Idk why, but that one cracks me up so much. 😂 Hilarious movie.
That's the best line in the movie! Totally underrated!
mine is when he goes in search of a pub! 🤣🤣🤣
What really sells it is that Fred has no idea what Alexander even means by this statement.
A little detail is that Jason did know Guy's last name when they were on the planet. He called him Fleegman. Don't know if it was a deliberate thing by the writers, but he must have been listening properly when Guy introduced himself earlier. Either that or he knew the show so well that he recognized him!
My favorite quote is when they first got to the planet and someone just casually opens the door on the space ship and guy is like "Is there air on this planet? YOU DON'T KNOW!"
“Hey! Don’t open that! It’s an alien planet, is there air?!? You don’t know!” My late son used to quote that all the time. It’s my favorite part.
My other favorite: "You construct a weapon. Look around, can you form some sort of rudimentary lathe."
Way to go, you guys just stumbled into a little known jem of a movie.
Thanks for all your funny commentary and unforgettable moments.
I'm shocked you two aren't more popular on youtube, but I'm rootin' for ya!
This is one of the few movies that combine satire, homage and brilliant screenwriting and execution to set it among the very best in a small field.
Love this. You're right about it not being a spoof, per se. It's more of a love letter to all the classic Sci fi shows and fans. Such a great movie.
"Galaxy Quest": The best "Star Trek" movie that Paramount didn't make. As a long time "Star Trek" fan, I found this movie to be funny and delightful, made by people "who get it," unlike the "official 'star trek' sausage makers." Sigourney Weaver signed on to play a Blonde semi-Bimbo. She felt her IQ dropping every time she wore the Blonde wig...all the way home. Is this a re-upload? If so, I get the over-the-top reactions.
Its because of it being such that it actual gets acknowledge as a Star Trek film by many fans
As a lover of Star Trek, this movie is fucking phenomenal. It feels like when your best friend roasts you, playfully mean and painfully accurate 😂
Cause I died...IN EPISODE 81
😂😂😂
By far one of my favorite films ever.
By Grabthars Hammer......... What a savings 😂
13:57 Sarris was played by Robin Sachs. Robin was in the Lost World: Jurassic Park (Mr Bowman), Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Ethan Rayne), and Babylon 5 (he played multiple roles there), but was mostly a character actor making appearances in TV shows up until the 2000s when he went right to mostly vocal work. Galaxy Quest was perhaps his biggest role in film. Yet he nailed it quite well.
He passed away in 2013, but his last work was voicing Zaeed Massani in Mass Effect 3.
thats where i remember him from.. i knew he was in ME3!! just wasnt sure who lol
I've been a Star Trek fan my entire life - almost to the degree of Brandon in the film - and saw this movie in theaters the night it opened. When Tim Allan's character gets in contact with Justin Long's Brandon for information on how to navigate the ship and shut down the reactor, I couldn't help but think of what a geek I was because I had a Deep Space Nine technical manual sitting in the back seat of my car out in the theater parking lot! This film was SUCH a trip!
About a year after the release of this film I attended a Sci-Fi convention in Springfield, MA where Robin Sachs (Sarris) was one of the guests. My (at the time) 8 year old daughter formed a friendship with the actor, both commiserating on how scary Sarris looked and having phasers battles together. One of my fondest convention memories.
Apparently, Miss Weaver liked her blond wig so much that she took it off-set with her. By the way, the NTE on the ship's registration stands for "Not The Enterprise".
Sarras is Robin Sachs, who was Ethan Rayne in the "Buffy the Vampire" series.
By Grabthar's Hammer.. what a reaction!
They cut this from PG-13 down to plain PG to show it in more theaters. Side effect of that; Tony Shalloub (Fred) is CLEARLY high as a kite the whole time but it just never gets mentioned in this cut.
Thank God, I've always wondered about that........
And the "screw that" which is definitely not what is said...
Originally they wanted it to be R
There is actually a scene where someone says under their breath "are you high?" Its right before they beam the rock monster up.
One detail I missed on my first viewing way back when was that Alan Rickman's character, who hated playing Dr. Lazarus and wanted nothing to do with the character anymore, also kept wearing his headpiece even when home alone because it just second nature to him :P
I love this movie and enjoy it no matter how many times I watch. So well done, so funny, and with a superlative cast. I was of the era that made the original Star Trek a hit in reruns, and this is such a loving homage to that series.
Galaxy Quest is one of the most perfect movies ever made. The cast, the direction, the design, the script, everything coalesces into a whole that is more than the sum of its parts. There is a fantastic documentary about it called "Never Surrender", that I highly recommend watching if you can get a hold of it.
One of my favourite movies. Favourite line “it turned inside out……..And it exploded.”
The transporter accident is a nod to the very first Star Trek movie with the original cast. While in space dock, the transporter in the newly built Enterprise is only being used for non-living matter because it’s malfunctioning. The one time they tried to use it for people was deadly: “What materialized didn’t live long. Fortunately.” The pile of organic goo on the Protector even looked similar.
My wife and I LOVE this movie, its so sad that it never popped off when it released. Would have loved to see it get more sequels or what not. Way ahead of its time, think of The Orville now. This movie had great special effects and make-up for what is was too.
Tony Shalhoub character Tech Sergeant Chen is supposed to be Asian but the actor in the TV show Fred Kwan was not Asian. He is doing "Asian eyes" when he is squinting. He is also a stoner but they cut that part out. That is why he is so nonchalant and more accepting of the situation than the other cast.
Apparently Enrico Colantoni (Mathesar) came up with many of the mannerisms and vocal style, doing them in the audition got him the part.
Not just that. The casters loved Colantoni's ideas so much that they showed his audition to all the other actors who auditioned for the thermian roles.
This is a great movie. If you buy the DVD, one of the languages you can choose is the Thermian language. And if you click on the omega 13 symbol on the main menu, the menu animation goes back 13 seconds.
14:00 The villain is actually played by the late great Robin Sachs. You probably remember him as the voice of Zaeed Massani from the original Mass Effect trilogy, but he also showed up in both Buffy and Babylon 5 as well.
Thank you. I was going to mention that, but I couldn’t remember the actor’s name. I knew him best as Ethan Rayne on Buffy The Vampire Slayer. A very good actor.
HOLY SHIT he played Zaeed?? That's fantastic!!
Woot! Mass Effect loooove! RIP Mr. Sachs!
Saris: You fool! You fail to realize that with your armor gone, my ship will tear through yours like tissue paper!
Jason: and what YOU failed to realize is that MY ship is DRAGGING MINES!
I love that line so much!
You guys really nailed the parallel between the Thermians and fandom in your end comments. You always bring out something about the movie that other reactors miss.
Movie I had 0 expectations of despite it's all star cast, and love letter to all things science fiction. It made me love Rickman and Sigourney even more. Just all smiles to see you both get this gem in your brain :)
Galaxy Quest is one of the best Movies ever made
Just superbly well crafted every tiny detail was meticulously planned
this movie is so much better when you find out Tony sahloub's character is supposed to be high during the entire movie. this is one of my favorite movies.
I think of this as an homage to Star Trek. Not a parody or making fun of it. It’s pure love for the genre.
I'm a Star Trek Fan since Night One "The Man Trap" and I can say Trekkies LOVE this Film AND the Star Trek Actors LOVE this film!
It’s making fun of it, but it’s also paying tribute to it. That’s what’s beautiful about it. It walks a fine line of honoring this type of show, a Star Trek type show. While at the same time being able to poke fun at little things with it.
The movie, I think, is also successful because it blends humor and drama. There are moments where you laugh in moments where you’re choking back tears. That’s what makes a good movie. Having that balance.
So we have Adrian monk, Professor Snape, Tool man Tim, and pretty low-top blonde...
I'd trust this team to the ends of time
Blonde Ripley. Or Dana Barrett
If you ever get a hold of the physical DVD for this movie one of the language options is "Thermian" and the whole movie is in their high pitch squeal.
This was fun! I have this movie memorized! 😅 Glad you guys enjoyed it!
One of the most underrated movies ever. Legit was dope.
I was 16 when I saw this in theaters. I loved every minute of it. Every actors performance was spot on, u got the SiFi/Con homage, and the FX were on point for it's time. Even manages to tug on the heart strings while knocking your socks off at the same damn time. This films nothing but a good time.
I really liked this movie a lot. Well written, well shot, good actors, fantastic effects/costumes and a good story. Solid film
Allen and Rickman are parodying Shatner and Nimoy in so many ways. A friend from High School was one of the original 'Trekkies' and would go to a number of conventions - he said Shatner was regarded very much this way, especially after the success of the first movie; the fans loved him and the cast held him in great disdain (for the Ham he was) - Nimoy would NOT participate in any conventions for his sheer hatred of Shatner (from an informed source, not me).
Loved Sam Rockwell at the ending scene. It was such dry humor and as a British person, we think Americans don’t have dry sarcastic humor, but Sam has lol. It’s just that smile he does at the camera lmfao, love it x
$15 a pop for an autograph HAHAHA. I'm going to a con in 2 weeks and autographs are $40-$80 each
In real life, when Gilligan's Island was first airing, there WERE people that called into the station demanding "Why don't you go save those people?!". The Thermians believing the same thing, is a funny easter egg rooted in history.
This movie reminds me of Weird Al's parody songs. It makes fun of the tropes, but respects the source material.
One of the best things to come out of this movie. Patrick Stewart, Captain Picard from TNG, didnt want to see it, he thought it was spoofing/making fun of Star Trek. Johnathan Frakes, Commander William Riker, calls him up and says "You have to see this film on a Saturday night in a packed theatre". So Stewart goes to watch the film. According to Stewart himself no one in that theatre laughed longer or louder than he did. He absolutely LOVES this film. He has said it is a great homage to everything that made/makes Star Trek great, especially the fans love and passion for the IP.
Although it ended up getting cut from the final version of the film there's a missing scene where Chen does a bunch of drugs before they transport on the ship. That's why he was late and that's also why he's so chill through the movie.
You can still see some smoke billowing around him after he is released from the transporter gel on the space dock.
There's also a scene missing that explained Gwen's open cleavage in the later scenes.
The intended version would be somewhat raunchier, hadn't they gone for a lower rating. Maybe it is time for a director's cut?
Bummer!
The scenes with the space mines, those were a nod to the movie classic: The last Starfighter. As for this movie, there have been on & off talks of making it into a series throughout the years, but they never go anywhere beyond talks.
Let’s get out of here before one of those things kills Guy!
The actor who played Sarris refers to his character as "Attila the Crab." 🤣
This movie is S-Tier! So wholesome, satirical, and just all around fun. Soooooo good❤
Can't think of a movie I've wanted to watch more with you guys.
My headcanon is that with the bad guy killed they were able to safely rejoin with their alien friends and now go on real space adventures, helping earth gain new understanding of technology and the universe while the whole thing is broadcasted back to earth as a sort of reality tv show.
Kwan (Tony Shalhoub) is so calm because he's stoned. It's never explicitly spelled out, which makes me think it was the actor's choice, but you'll notice he's always chill and always has some sort of snack food with him.
This was my dad's favorite movie that was a Star Trek spoof since he was a big treky fan as they call Star trek fans and I love this movie as well and of course since his father's day sadly my dad passed away in March but I know how much he had love for this film Rest in Peace Dad and Happy Father's Day from heaven
So much fun.
Alan Rickman can be anyone.
Exactly.
Yep, he's so good, he can even be an exceptional thief or a loathsome professor.
@@eatsmylifeYT
Sheriff of Nottingham
"Do you mind, I'm a little busy here." 😂😂😂
Oh good lord, I can hear you two cackling already.
Great movie, with a fantastic cast all-araound, but Alan Rickman is just too darn perfect.
the main alien actor is such a good actor. makes a fantastic alien.
Best Sci-Fi Homage (?) ever ... 🧐🤣🤣🤣🤓👍👊
This is one of my favorite movies, I’m SO EXCITED you guys are checking it out!!!
I love that Guy character's on the new show not only got a last name, but a nickname as well. LOL.
Clearly the plucky comic relief!
I love the fact that Tony Shalhoub's character is so "out there" (high), that after the rest of the cast has disappeared and he is left behind, he doesn't know what's going on, but he takes the leftover transport for the hell of it.
Also the gag that in the 80's he was high as a kite on cocaine, but in the late 90's it's weed. 😀
I'm very happy you're enjoying it!
The actor playing the Thermians' leader came up with their voices, walk, and everything during his audition.
"Guy" was Wild Bill in The Green Mile.
The character of Fred was high for the entire movie.
The fanboy's mom was George's fiancee on Seinfeld.
I’m stunned you’ve not seen this before. It’s one of my favorites, it’s the first time I realized Tim Allen is actually a handsome man.
It’s not really making fun, it’s more if a Shoebox Card love letter to fans.
I’m surprised you didn’t key in on this, Fred is high the entire movie. That’s why he’s so chill and constantly munching. They had to remove references to the actual drug in order to get the rating they wanted. Watch again with that in mind, it’s a different time.
the Greatest Star Trek movie ever
The Thermians walk like puppets because they copied it off Thunderbirds Which came out the year before Galaxy Quest (Star Trek).
I loved thunderbirds ever since I saw the thunderbirds are go movie on VHS as a kid almost 20 years ago!
I love this movie so much! The kid who plays as Brandon is Justin Long and he was in the movie Jeepers Creepers which is definitely a must watch movie if you haven't seen it yet ❤❤❤❤
The director of Jeepers Creepers (Victor Salva) is a convicted pedophile. So no it isn't a must see...
11:10 Probably my favorite moment in the film because it is a reaction any normal person would have when going from the back of a car to a space ship on the other side of the galaxy in less then 20minutes and be greeted by tentacle aliens with probes.
I adore this film, so I'm happy you enjoyed yourselves. It's such a trip to see this stellar cast enjoying themselves.
This movie is so fun from start to finish. Great for the whole family. Never give up, never surrender!
I LOVE the energy guys. With some folks doing reactions they could be cardboard cut outs for 3/4 of the movie they're watching. There's no question what parts your were enjoying, what parts you were moved by... NEW SUB right here!! Never give up... (don't leave me hangin') 😁
"Let's get out of here before one of those things kills Guy!"
The perfect Star Trek and sci-fi homage. It's even considered unofficial Trek.
It's one transporter accident away from being canon...
Anyone recognize Rainn Wilson as one of the alien characters?
Interesting choice for Tony Shalhoub to squint at the Thermians upon being addressed as Sargeant Chen and during the ending TV show credits. I didn’t notice until the 5th rewatch.
Watch CLERKS... then MALLRATS
I love this movie so much! The Thermians are the best movie aliens ever.
This is the first movie for many people. The alien who says “….and it exploded.” That’s the same actor who recruits Wade for Ajax’s project that turns him into Deadpool.
Like all the best parodies, it obviously loves the source material (instead of sneering at it). Another good example is Austin Powers v. James Bond.
Affectionate Parody it's the term.
BTW you can visit the rock planet! That part was filmed in Goblin Valley Utah. It looks just like that.... minus the mining equipment and actual aliens lol. It's a very cool place! As close to an alien planet as you can get.
