Stargate (film)/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


    • Then he beams up the atomic weapon on board the departing Goa'uld ship using the severed hand! Just in Time, too.
    • O'Neil has spent most of the movie depressed over the death of his son, so he's been reluctant to really get into it. Thing is, he's played by Kurt Russell, so we spend the whole movie just waiting for him to bust out. Finally, during the third act, it happens. A caravan comes to Ra's temple, and the Horus guards are checking everyone, pulling back their hoods. We see villager after villager...and then one of them turns out to be Jack, who points an MP5 at the guard.

Jack: Hey. How you doing? *blows guard away*

      • In a bit of Fridge Brilliance, O'Neil getting it together neatly steers the character's personality into Richard Dean Anderson's later, much-better-known, goofy wise-cracking take on him.
  • Also from the original movie, Kasuf leading the villagers at the end to finally rebel against Ra's rule. I have no idea what the hell he's yelling on top of that hill, but damn if it isn't awesome.
  • I thought Daniel's getting Shau'ri to a sarcophagus and nonchalantly turning around to blast Ra with a staff weapon were pretty darn awesome, too, especially considering where he started at the beginning of the movie. Dude doesn't lack bravery.
