Stargate (12/12) Movie CLIP - Jackson Decides to Stay (1994) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Deciding to stay behind with Sha'uri, Jackson (James Spader) says goodbye to O'Neil (Kurt Russell) and the soldiers before they return home.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
This lucrative, elephantine-budgeted sci-fi opus paved the way for director Roland Emmerich's mega-hit Independence Day (1996). The story commences in Giza, Egypt, circa 1928, where an archaeological expedition unearths an ancient ring with cryptic hieroglyphs. The film then moves to the present day, where Egyptologist Daniel Jackson (James Spader) is busily trying to convince a group of skeptics that the pyramids were not built by man, but by an extraterrestrial force. After the lecture, a military man approaches him and offers him a job translating the said ring; its inscriptions actually constitute a map to a massive stargate (or interstellar portal). The army sends over resident crackpot colonel Jack O'Neill (Kurt Russell) to travel through the stargate and see what's on the other side; Jackson accompanies him, and the two men turn up in a desert planet on the other side of the universe, with three moons in its sky. The world in question is ruled by Ra (Jaye Davidson), a hermaphroditic Egyptian sun god, who oppresses hordes of slave workers. Jackson and O'Neill then join forces to help the said workers revolt against their oppressor.

Lol imagine that mission debrief. Dude who never smiles comes back, alone, with a big smile on his face talking about killing an Egyptian god with a nuke

[TheWinterShadow]

Intellectual history + action + a bit of tasteful modern effects = An engaging, memorable and underrated movie.

[angrypredator]

Is it me, or were musical scores just so damn better in the 1990s?

[KinnyRiddle]

When O'Neil (Kurt Russell) smiles in this scene, that was the moment he stopped being stiff and became the cheerful O'Neill (with two L's) (Richard Dean Anderson) in SG-1 with a sense of humour and started his moving on from the guilt of his son's death.

[nickg]

back when movies appealed to the sense of wonder rather than complex unnecessary drama

[readerofmanga]

This scene where O'Neil leaves but Daniel stays, the story continues with SG.1. This is a great movie and continues with a great TV series.

[Tigerman]

I like how Kasuf is there, with his son, to see them off and learn the Stargate is a physical device and not Ra’s power.

[ReconRaptor]

"I'll be seeing you around, Dr. Jackson"

[Timepiece]

And they say Roland Emmerich sucks. He made this masterpiece.

[ThisLeprechaunWrites]

This beats most of the sci-fi movies now and the Stargate series. This was just classic.

[Tigerman]

The director said “We had to through that effect in one more time.” It was met with cheers and applause in the theatre

[ArgyleGroove]

One of the most satisfying final scenes ever.

[GhostLink]

A relatively simple movie plot, that expanded into 3 different shows. Amazing.

[Bimfirestarter]

Saw this movie twice the 2nd day of its release when I first saw it -Saturday October 29th, 1994. 6 times during its theatrical run. Scrolling across the comments here I see things like "What an ending!" and "90s films had that sense of wonder movies don't have now" and "Soundtracks were better in the "90s!"
And I fully agree.

[frederalbacon]

I always loved that the bond forged by two different people in this movie translated so well to the TV show. RDA and Shanks took this bond and ran with it, and it worked better than they could have imagined.

[stevefrench]

Even though the series wasn't planned when this was scored, the sense of wonder and adventure from the soundtrack really gave an open ending feeling at the time but then it bridged perfectly with what we were given with SG-1.
I got shivers from both knowing what follows AND in retrospect just running the imagination run wild in the context of the movie alone.
Masterful score.

[PoserAddictsLLC]

For those asking if Jackson was based on Milo Thatch in Disney's Atlantis -- Atlantis was released in 2001, Stargate in 1994. So the Disney film stole tons of ideas from Stargate. I believe even Milo Thatch had allergies, was a smart guy but a misfit in the museums, wore big round glasses, was bullied, found the love of his life among an ancient civilization, stayed with her and married her eventually. And like Daniel sending the Ra Necklace back to Katharine, Milo sent his benefactor an energy Atlantean Necklace back.

Seems like Disney's Atlantis was pretty much a complete rip-off of Stargate.

[philosophera]

And thus a legendary sci fi show was born ..

[ViewTube_Emperor_of_Mankind]

This must've been such a fantastic experience in the theaters.. gods I wish I was old enough back then

[lordgoro]

LOVE the gate sound effects COMBINED with epic music! AMAZING!!
