Too many movies where the antagonist just blows up in a warehouse and all we get is an exterior shot. I love it when you get the payoff of the antagonist getting a few moments to realize they've been well and truly bested!
@sonicguyver7445
I still love this ending so much. The bomb being teleported in and Ra can only stand there. Not enough time to prime the rings before it goes off. All he can do is watch the last five seconds of his ancient life tick away. And that music playing as it happens still hits just right.
@shusterandy
Even though this came out before both these movies. This feels like the mummy meets independence day.
@josefmazzeo6628
The nuke delivery scene here and the one in Independence Day are both equally epic - the look on their faces!
@xMandalorex
This clip never gets old.... it's amazing when you look at it, because Ra thinks someone Dan or jack are coming up to kill him - YET HE SEES A NUKE instead.
@Foebane72
I love the way that the TV series carried on the iconic elements of this movie: The Stargates, the pyramid-shaped ships, the glowy-eyed gods, the sarcophagi, and those wonderful Transporter Rings!

These immortal words helped solidify the moment that jumpstarted the greatest adventure in science fiction history: "I've got an idea!"
@SirMac13
1:39 is the main reason I love movie soundtracks so much. I get goosebumps listening to this even after 24 years! My favorite scene of the movie!

@stonewallperformance
The moment when Daniel and Jack are together trying to figure out how to disarm the bomb then both get the same idea to transport it to Ra's ship really highlighted just how much the two characters really worked well together despite being absolutely polar opposites. It is a chemistry I am really glad they continued to develop in SG1 as well considering that in any kind of other situation, a person like Jack would not even bother to associate with someone like Daniel but they end up together in this circumstance and end up really being able to work so well together.

Originally, the film was going to have the nuke timer count down, then cut to the planet when everyone watched Ra's ship explode. Emmerich decided to add the FX of Ra howling as he was snuffed out because he believed the audience wanted to watch him suffer a bit before being blasted to atoms. He's a very wise man. Thank you, Mr. Emmerich! 😯😃😄😆😁
@TheAlexis4444
This movie's set design, costumes, and realistic themes from history are amazing. I loved it. And it shows the real form of the dying/old alien at the end when he is being destroyed. But what a stylish God he was before then...
@girlgarde
Seeing Ra's bodyguards desperately fight to avoid being killed even though it was hopeless for them was emotionally satisfying as they finally got what was coming to them at the hands of their victims.
@BlackDiamond2718
Brilliant move showing how they outsmarted the system lords. Plus i love that they kept the ring transport sound.
@AtenRa
According to the novelization, alien Ra is leaving his human body in an attempt to transport back down to the planet and attach to a new host. Apparently the alien form can move faster than humans, but not fast enough here since the rings just finished transporting the bomb and would take a while to re-activate. Jaye Davidson's body was supposed to rapidly age to its proper age as Ra leaves it, a withered husk, but I guess the SFX were too expensive.
@armistice_front
my father rented this when I was eight. I never really paid attention to the plot. the only things that I remember here was how they opened the stargate, the glasses guy using chocolate bars to befriend the locals and the armadillo meal that they said "tastes like chicken". I might watch it again to understand it better.

@CaffeinePanda
Man, they did love their shockwave explosions in the 90s didn't they.
@Ragitsu
Ra's true form with the solar disk behind him is quite the shot!
