Stargate (film)/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Adaptation Displacement]]: The series is more widely known to audiences than the film that inspired it, partly because the [[The Other Darrin|original cast]] got replaced in all subsequent entries.

* [[Cliché Storm]]: Roger Ebert's review boiled every element of the movie to this, right down to the snare-drum "military" music as Daniel arrives at headquarters.

* [[Special Effects Failure]]: Retroactive example from the [[Blu Ray]] edition. The picture quality is so much higher than when the movie was filmed that you can see the wires holding up the Death Gliders (especially during close-ups on the pilots.

* [[Values Dissonance]]: You have to admit that all those scantily-clad children running around Ra's ship would [[Paedo Hunt|raise eyebrows if it were done today]]. Yes, apparently ''1994'' was a more innocent time. Either that or they wanted to give Ra an implied push across the [[Moral Event Horizon]].

** Given how he has them trained to use themselves as human shields for him and has his own little Child-Emperor theme going, it's likely it was a different horizon they were aiming for.

** Still an improvement over reality considering Ancient Egyptian children generally went around [[National Geographic Nudity|completely nude aside from jewelry]].

** You'd think so, but Ra in Egyptian mythology was ''supposed'' to be somewhat androgynous.

** Jaye did come across as appropriately creepy.
