Galaxy Quest - (1999) for anyone that used to watch Captain Kirk /Star Trek

[mysteryowl]

I watched this movie for the 1st time last year and I laughed so hard the movie had to be paused periodically.
I could not stop laughing! I was laughing so hard I could not hear the movie.
And no, I was not on anything.

If you know about the Star Trek series from way-back with Captain Kirk, and you have not seen Galaxy Quest, watch this movie without seeing a trailer. The trailer ruins the surprises.

My subsequent viewings were still funny, but not nothing compared to the first time.
I will always remember it.

Have you seen it?
It is a cult classic.

Galaxy Quest

[John1956PA]

1. I bought it on VHS tape twenty years ago. The transporter scene had me in stitches.

I still think of the exciting ending every so often.

[mysteryowl]

2. I am laughing now just thinking about the movie.

The transporter was sooooo funny! It was acted so well! Those actors were spot on!

Yep, really good ending. The whole movie is so good.

Kirk fighting and just happens to have his shirt torn off.
But of course there needed to be one of those scenes!

[Bayard]

3. A favorite!

Total parody of Star Trek, and funny as hell. I especially enjoyed Alan Rickman. He was a great actor in so many movies.

If you liked Galaxy Quest, you may want to check out, Buckaroo Bonzai, another favorite. Its hilarious, especially John Lithgow.

6. Thanks for the movie tip.

I just checked and the library does not have it.
I will look for it.

Yes, GQ is one of the best parodies I have seen.

32. Youtube, Pluto and Tubi have Buckaroo Bonzai

Free on youtube, tubitv.com and pluto.tv. $4 rental from Apple's iTunes/TV store

21. Buckaroo is a wild, strange movie with a really creative 'look' to the aliens.

If you ever see the name "John Small Berries", that's where it's from. Also John Bigbooté, who hates being called John Big Booty.

25. Buckaroo Bonzai!

"Just remember, wherever you go, there you are!" I think now that must be my favorite movie line, hope I got it right

Galaxy Quest was so much fun, great recommendation! 😊

[Bayard]

36. "Laugh while you can, monkey boy!"

[pansypoo53219]

4. so much better than the 1 w/ the raccoon. i couldn't finish that 1.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

5. Oh, my god, I'd forgotten about that movie.

Absolutely wonderful! I need to see it again.

[mysteryowl]

7. Glad to refresh your memory.

It is perfect time to see a movie that you will forget all your worries!

[FalloutShelter]

8. This is one of my all time favorite movies.

Fun fact... It is also one of David Mamet's four perfect films:
Dodsworth, The Godfather, A Place in The Sun, and GALAXY QUEST.

[mysteryowl]

9. Yep, a cult classic.

[FalloutShelter]

10. Have you seen the making-of doc-

Never Give Up, Never Surrender?
It is also terrific for GQ geeks.

[mysteryowl]

11. That can be my protest sign tomorrow!

It will say "ICE OUT"

the other side will be

"Never Give Up, Never Surrender"

[FalloutShelter]

13. LOVE THAT!

[blm]

12. My favorite guilty pleasure movie.

Actually, no guilt, at all.

[mysteryowl]

14. Just pure fun!

But viewers would need to fully understand the old Star Trek, that is what makes it so funny.
Well, the actors and the story line is done so well!

[Beartracks]

15. Absolute comedy gold for even a casual Trek fan.

[mysteryowl]

16. Oh good, that is nice to hear. A casual original star treky fan works too.

[Beartracks]

37. Oh - haha! I didn't mean that *I* was merely a casual Trek fan! :)

I've been a Trekker all my life!

=================

[mysteryowl]

38. No, I understood what you meant.

[mwmisses4289]

17. Absolute gold.

I haven't seen it in awhile; with a three day weekend coming up, it might be time to rewatch it.

[hunter]

18. One of my favorite Star Trek movies...

... madly funny and a wonderful tribute to the original series.

[intrepidity]

19. I look for it on DVD whenever I go to Goodwill

Fingers crossed I eventually find it.

[mysteryowl]

20. Have you seen it yet?

[intrepidity]

23. Oh my, yes. Several times.

I just want to own it, lol.

[mysteryowl]

24. Awesome!

[StoolPigeon]

35. You can get it at ebay

Blu-ray: about $10
4K: about $20

[mysteryowl]

22. Just one more...

Sigourney Weaver's character... her uniform top opens (intentionally) and she shimmies her shoulders.

It was so tacky!

[LetMyPeopleVote]

26. I watched this movie when it first came out

It is a great movie

[Ilsa]

27. Either Jonathan Frakes called Patrick Stewart, or

one of the other STNG headliners called another to pass the word along to go see it, it was so funny.

My kids still look up at the ceiling when I ask them to look for their shoes.

It really is a feel good movie!

[mysteryowl]

39. I think he is "Guy number 5" or something like that.

He didn't have a name, so he expected to die!

[Ilsa]

41. Guy #5 had some great lines!

I wish I could remember who from STNG called whom from STNG to recommend the the movie.

I may have to watch it tonight to get my mood rebalanced after today's shooting.

[mysteryowl]

42. "Who from STNG"

I don't know what that means. What is STNG?

Yes, a good movie to watch to clear oneself.

[Ilsa]

43. Star Trek (the) Next Generation nt

[IbogaProject]

28. One of the greats

Great story and solid performances. And so funny.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

29. Yes..its a great parody if trek

[markodochartaigh]

30. I saw Galaxy Quest

when it was first in theaters. I really enjoyed but I've only seen it once since. It's probably time for another rewatch.

[Tasmanian Devil]

31. "We'll do that!"

Wonderful movie. There are so many lines from it that we've adopted into our daily banter.

Have watched it so many times now, never gets old!

[Grumpy Old Guy]

33. Great movie!

I loved Sigourney Weaver as a blonde. Poor Sam Rockwell was a red shirt, expecting to always get killed in the first scene.

[LogDog75]

34. A good example of a paradoy

Sigourney Weaver's character nailed Lt. Uhura role in Star Trek when she said:

"Look, I have one job on this lou'ssy ship. It's stupid, but I'm gonna do it, OK?"

[mysteryowl]

40. "Look, I have one job on this lou'ssy ship. It's stupid, but I'm gonna do it, OK?"

That is precious!
So fun you could remember the line! It is a great line!

[ProfessorGAC]

44. I Enjoyed It Immensely

I've watched it now & then since it hit cable back in the day.
Holds up.
The kid fans are great in it.
