Little mistakes - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

Hi!
I hope I'm at the correct section. Has anybody noticed these little funny mistakes or rather differences between the Stargate movie and the series?
For example:
Catherine Langford shows Daniel in the movie (JS) a photo of himself as he is about one year old, maybe even younger, and a man and a woman. Daniels says that this would be his foster parents.
In the series we get to know that Daniel's parents died in New York when he was already eight years old...

Movie: On a certifikate it says Tyler O'Neil (Jack's son)
Series: First his son's called Charly, second O'Neill is written with two 'l'

Movie: The Stargate's located in Creek Mountain, Colorado
Series: Cheyenne Mountain

The Abydos-address is different in movie and series.

Movie: Abydos is in the Kalean-galaxy
Series: Sam in the pilot, COTG: In spite of the planet-displacement, we still can dial to Abydos, cos within the Stargate-network, Abydos is nearest to earth
in the fifth race she says: Othalla is beyond the stargate-network, even outside our galaxy...

Okay, this were just a few differences I noticed.
Anybody who saw more?...

Greetings

Shau'ri/Sha're
lt.col. Adam Kawalsky/maj. Charles Kawalsky

And I think that also Ferretti wasn't major in the film.
In film Ra was one of the last members of his parasitical race which was on the edge of an extinction and in series the galaxy is full of Goa'ulds.

Yeah, I noticed the Sha'uri/Sha're thing, but I haven't noticed the other things. Cool!
:rolly2:

What about the biggest one of all -- Daniel's "head" change? -- they may have changed his body as well, but we don't get to see that!

Chilly · 25th May 2001, 08:12 AM

Other little differences:

* spelling of O'Neil/O'Neill

* how the staff weapons works (Ra's had sort of a zap effect when you push people)

* whether (or not) Kawalsky knew Jack before the first Abydos mission

How about the Goa'uld. In the film the Goa'uld wear their helmets in order to keep from their subjects the fact that they are not really gods. Yet in the series th Goa'uld show off their faces right left and center.

summershake · 2nd June 2001, 11:15 AM

Yeah, good point!
:rolly2:

Come on people, other ideas...

Hex_20 · 5th June 2001, 10:05 AM

It is true that the Goa'uld show their faces all the time but in the Pilot Episode of SG-1 , Apophis was wearing a helmut when he visited Earth and Abydos .

Indiana · 5th June 2001, 12:42 PM

However, he then retracted the helmet to reveal his face. He revealed his face on Abydos and on Earth. On earth he revealed his face and as he left his eyes glowed and General Hammond observed this.

On Abydos he als did the same. Now I often wonder at the point just after the attack on Abydos when the young Abydonian tells Danile that it was RA he saw. Now, was the boy confusing the helmet that Apophis wore with the one RA wore? That seems pretty strange because Ra's mask was the same color as the rest of the Horus Guards. Or perhaps the young boy belived that it was Ra. Perhaps Ra was the only Goa'uld to visit Abydos becuase it was his territory and planet. If this was so then prhaps the boy could have saw the Goa'uld design helmets and immediately thought, "RA!"

Now, if it was not the Helmet that made the boy think that Apophis was RA, but the face, then that is a flaw. The only people who could nptice that Peter Williams (Apophis) and Jaye Davidson (RA) bore similar faces would be Daniel and any Goa'uld who had seen RA's face. This young boy that told Daniel that it was RA who attacked them could not have been able to have said that Apophis looked like RA becuase RA and his servants did not reveal their faces to any of their subjects. To do so would reveal that they were not gods, but only man.

Hex_20 · 5th June 2001, 01:02 PM

Good point,

Maybe Apophis wanted to make a point and scare the people of both Abydos and Earth that RA was not killed but returns

summershake · 5th June 2001, 05:51 PM

Yeah!
Yesterday I watched the movie again and I saw two new flaws, I think:
First, all Jaffa have pouches to wear the goa'uld larvas in! In the movie no Jaffa had any pouch although we can see their stomachs.
And the second thing is: In the movie Ra was an alien and we can see him while Daniel explains Jack the whole thing in the cave. Ra looks like a little gray alien with sharp teeth. How could his looks change so much to look like the goa'uld in the series?

Indiana · 5th June 2001, 06:45 PM

On your first point. The personal Guards of RA were not Jaffa. There is no flaw here.

On the point of RA's appearance in the movie. That was just a deliberate change. They did it to fit in to their parasite, wormy, snake idea. However, RA in the movie does look rather like the Unas, don't you think.
