Galaxy Quest (1999)

Edit this Page
Dean Parisot Director previously directed Home Fries

An ensemble of washed out sci-fi actors encounter an alien race that have re-created, in detail, the ship and technology from their canceled show, "Galaxy Quest". The aliens believe the actors to be the people they portray on the show, and they need their help.

Trivia:

Instead of ripping off the standard Star Trek "Swooosh-thweep" sound for their automatic doors, the NSEA Protector's automatic doors were given the same "Tweeep-Clunk" sound effect as the doors in the original version of the video game Ultimate Doom (1993).

5 More Trivia
Reference: The Shadow

Beryllium spheres (which are the power source for the NSEA protector in Galaxy Quest) are used as a trigger mechanism for the "implosion/explosion device" in this movie.
