Stargate is real underrated masterpiece with unique storyline, visual effects and acting. James Spader was perfect for this film - believable and really phenomenal acting. Kurt Russell, Viveca Lindfors, Alexis Cruz, Erick Avari and Mili Avital did a great job too. The 90's were really the Best era. Other underrated SCI-FI films of that era - Lawnmower Man, Alien 3, Virtuosity, Space Truckers, FutureSport, RoboCop 2, The Time Shifters, The Arrival, Mimic, Sphere
thats because those mutant sg-1 freaks are to dumb to understand the movie and the series are completely unrelated
in the film ra was the last of his race and a humanoid alien who transferd his soul into the egyptian boy according to the novel cos his own body was dying
That makes sense HOWEVER Ra got a new host so why would he in that instance where he´s about to die change back into the first host??
From what can gather its never explained in the tv-series and most fans think that it might have something to do with an artistic license or something like that.
I think when they originally made the movie, the idea of the worm-parasite Goa'uld wasn't in the design for the story. It might have come later, when they were developing the TV series. The idea most likely came from an early concept that was rejected for the movie, or it was adapted from the scene where Ra's history is revealed and he was described as a "parasite".
Artistic license is the wrong term, for this was conceived before the TV series had been conceptualized.
In this older version, the alien was "melded"/merged into the human body, and he was the last of his race. This scene shows the alien leaving the host body and attempting to escape.
The TV series changed everything in the story, rendering most of the original material irrelevant.
Hard to say, and quite likely not a mistake. The writers couldn't imagine how this human-sized creature could possess and reside within a human body, and they thought that the idea of a serpentine parasite was more plausible.
Also, it allowed them to make Ra's kind numerous and work within the framework of "funny-voiced, glowing-eyed people" that was quite in vogue back then, and the story structure they had in mind.

That's true, but the movie's canon no longer matters. MGM owns the rights to the franchise, and they say SG-1 etc. is the continuation of the movie, so therefore it is.
There is no getting around that fact. The movie is different because it was before Stargate was reinvented by MGM, so it is a relic of now irrelevant material.
Given the success of the franchise, it would be fair to say that Stargate was "corrected" from its original, rough, and ultimately inferior form.
I meant when you compared them side by side, seeing as though there is a lot more story behind the series. I probably did word it wrong but you dont have to get angry about it.
Are you talking about further DVD movies for SG-1 and SGA, or the oft-proposed "Original" sequels? If it is former, then you are right.
If its the latter, it looks like those will never be made. No official word has appeared since 2006, and MGM has a history of rejecting Devlin's attempts. MGM appears to prefer their TV franchise to making those risky sequels.
We may like the movie, but a lot of people don't. Many critics have panned it, and most people hate Devlin's and Emmerich's work.
You idiot... ITS THE SERIES THAT ARE MAJORLY INNACCURATE!! I hate all the series, Ra is not a goauld he's powerfully psionic and telepathic read the books! And also a really ancient alien. the books written by Bill McCay may be innacurate with what Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin want; but its a far better universe than SG-1, Atlantis, and Universe. Anyone who hates the series which bastardized the movie please give this a thumbs up Khonsu the Killer Rules!
Stargate was originally supposed to be a trilogy, but they never made the rest. instead they made the TV show, and the TV show made up the idea of the Goa'uld. So in the movie, they didn't have the idea of the Goa'uld yet, so That glowing thing was his true form.
@Rrmlsou He was leaving the boy's body and becoming ethereal so he could take another host. that's far better than a pathetic little snake called a goa'uld. He was destroyed because the process was too long.
@Rrmlsou He was showing his true form? remember the scene when he was explaining his origin... the bright scary thing that possessed the boy.... that looks like a woman.
... where is your god now?

To bad the the trilogy this movie originally was intended to be got cancelled.
From what i could read they had set it up to be quite interesting.
I suppose they could still do it if they went for directly to DVD.
As for the Series both Stargate SG1 and Atlantis was great BUT the latest Stargate Universe is one of the most crappy series EVER.
Ok so you want it to be about the persons rather then just action fine then have interesting persons in it because at the moment you do not.

There is one problem with the series The Goa´uld are shown to be worms.
HOWEVER when Ra is shown in his final scene he reverts back not into the worm but the alien seen in brief flashback.
So in a way it could be said that making Ra a Goa´uld was a mistake or making the Goa´uld worm might have been the real mistake here.
