    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The scene when Tim Allen is in a men's room overhearing how the cast of Galaxy Quest are nobodies and all the co-stars can't stand him mirrors an actual event in William Shatner's life. He discovered the exact same things about himself when he attended a 1986 convention.
    • Goofs
      When Nesmith and DeMarco are in the engineering room aborting the self-destruct sequence, DeMarco's uniform goes from being zipped up before they press the blue button, to being unzipped immediately afterward. (The scene has been edited to remove a segment where DeMarco seduces one of Sarris' soldiers.)
    • Quotes

      Sir Alexander Dane: By Grabthar's hammer, by the suns of Worvan, you shall be avenged.

    • Crazy credits
      At the end of the closing credits, Enrico Colantoni, as Mathesar, says "Never give up... Never surrender!".
    • Alternate versions
      Regrettably, the 20th anniversary restoration recently screened at Paramount used the DVD version, thus it goes from 1.37 to 2.35, including the 20 minutes or so that are supposed to be shown at 1.85.

    By Grabthar's Hammer! What a movie
    The first thing that makes a good movie good is always a great story. The whole idea of actors from a long ago space series being mistaken for being the real deal by actual aliens is indeed ingenious.From there, you put together a top notch cast.They hit the nail on the head there. Tim Allen is a natural for the Jason Nesmith role.A great cast is nothing if they don't work well together.Not to worry.They are superb. This movie is an excellent twist on the old good vs.evil concept.There are movies whose ideas are so unique,you want to love them and not be disappointed.Take my word,Galaxy Quest delivers the goods.Warp speed!
