Stargate- best of Ra

[magpiestudent]

He has an otherworldly, androgynous beauty with an ugly arrogance and contempt. They perfectly cast Ra. Great villain.

[videowatcher]

The only one of the the Goa'uld that really sells the *God* bit. It's the *attitude* . The others all rush around and shout like insecure children, Ra exudes confidence and *power*

Amazing movie for its time. I really admire how well they have made the masks/helmets, the alien technology, costumes and the sets. This deserves more awards.

[SammEater]

Dude had 5 minutes of screentime and was more imposing and godlike than half of the Goa Ulds in SG1, the only one that got close was Anubis and maybe Apophis before he got nerfed. lol

[ungraded_treasures]

I like how the soldiers wear technology and Ra is something completely different

[nicoleackerman]

You really cannot tell what gender or race he is which is kind of cool. He could have career in indie films with his look.

[Yoctopory]

One of the best movie villains of all time.

[laabitres]

Still the coolest looking of the system lords, i loved the fact that he looked like both man and woman

[Elitesolider]

I just love how ra voice is out of place of the boy he possessed gives you a creepy vibe of someone in something that does not belong and I am watching the show for the first time I really hope he makes reappearance.

The ra helmets looked so much better than the snake ones

[Партизанка]

Râ is the confident brother Apophis always envied 😅

Jaye Davidson was great in this role. Aside from the already known old story of the 1 million dollar request and difficulties with the actor on set i read a recent interview with the Director where he states that Davidson was actually having problems with drugs and that all hell broke loose when his assistant stole them. Dead Devlin (the writer) also said that Jaye Davidson thanked him for not cutting him out of the movie. In this same interview i was surprised to know that originally and during filming RA wasn't supposed to be an alien but a human that reigned over the slaves on behalf of the aliens, they later made him into an alien and added the eyes and deep voice to make him scarier. It's weird, they must have also made additional scenes since Daniel Jackson in the movie clearly explains RA's origin

Jay Davidson: During his acting career, he said that his androgynous look alienated him within the gay community; he stated that gay men "love very masculine men. And I'm not a very masculine person. I'm reasonably thin. I have long hair, which isn't very popular with gay men."

Also how Jay Davidson made me gay at 14yo:

I love how they went to the effort to have the aliens speak a different language. The TV show was not so attentive.

[AmanDa-klfv]

At @3:12 Ra giving the Tau'ri a reasonable survival tip, bury the gate and let it stay buried, so his Spiecies mates (at least the ones that survived and came to power) wouldn't even know of their existence. Also he's basicly saying: Don't meddle in our internal affairs, wich the SGC literally did for the most part of the first 8 seasons of SG1. they meddled in the Goa'uld affairs. (Wich even the Tollans and Tok'ra point out once)

[arthorim]

I had the opportunity to watch it in the theater at the time when it came out. very impressed! Then when i saw the tv show SG1 it was amazing.

[adarcus]

I like how even the little character details in Dr Jackson and O'Neill are both on their knees in different positions. Jackson is sitting fully which is more indicative of somebody who's not immediately preparing to do something. O'Neil is up on his knees an easy position from which to lunge in any direction and much better for keeping blood flow circulating through the body and therefore preventing your feet from going to sleep.

I used to watch Stargate with my grandma. I loved her alot she was like a mom to me. Shes gone now but i just finished Stargate on Prime and know that i watched these episodes with my grandma in the past. It makes me wonder....has she ever seen this movie ?
I know i want to now

[_Morri_]

I don't like the series at all, but I love the crap out of the movie. And Ra absolutely kills it for me (in a good way). So - damn - hot.

[reginaldweeks]

This was an AWESOME movie... Kurt Russell is si underrated
