The movie is about the washed-up stars of a fictional 1978–1982 TV series called Galaxy Quest (a parody of the original Star Trek series that also includes elements of Star Trek: The Next Generation).

Plot summary

Between 1978 and 1982, the adventures of the crew of the NSEA Protector were viewed by enthusiastic audiences of the television series Galaxy Quest. Eighteen years later, the stars of the show have been reduced to convention appearances and store grand-openings. Most are variously resentful, embittered, jealous, or resigned. The only cast member who derives any sort of pleasure from the adoration of the doting fans is Jason Nesmith, the egomaniacal star and "commander" of the crew, who laps up their continuing devotion. He overhears some comments that he is now considered a laughing stock which leaves him in a tailspin and a drinking binge. Year 1978 (MCMLXXVIII) was a common year starting on Sunday (link displays the 1978 Gregorian calendar). ... Year 1982 (MCMLXXXII) was a common year starting on Friday (link displays the 1982 Gregorian calendar). ... Look up adventure in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ...

At one convention, Jason is approached to discuss what he assumes to be a personal appearance in an amateur episode by a group of fans disguised as aliens. They send a limosine to pick him up and take him to what he takes to be their production studio; there, Jason is impressed by the high production values of their starship set, which are unusual for an amateur effort. Jason steps into his role as Captain, and summarily orders his crew to fire upon the "evil alien overlord" Sarris, who appears on the Bridge viewscreen. When he asks to go home, he is sent through the interplanetary space in a gelatinous transportation "pod." Only then does he realize that he really was in outer space. It is revealed that Mathesar (Enrico Colantoni) and the other "fans" are Thermians (played by Missi Pyle, Rainn Wilson, Patrick Breen, and Jed Rees), a peaceful, naïve, cephalopod-like alien race who, having received twenty-year-old transmissions of Galaxy Quest (as well as other shows such as Gilligan's Island) from Earth, and having no concept of fiction, have interpreted the show as "historical documents". They have structured their entire society around the "teachings" of the series, going so far as to build an exact replica of the Protector. Special devices allow them to appear in human form, though their speech and mannerisms are never quite human.

Jason loves the idea of being regarded as a hero by a bona fide alien race and therefore recruits his reluctant fellow actors into joining him as his "crew". In the process of rushing to find them, he accidentally exchanges the communicator the Thermians gave him with a toy version of it held by an avid young fan of the show named Brandon. Unfortunately, just as the new Protector is real, so is Sarris, a ruthless reptilian warlord engaged in a genocidal war of annihilation wherein the Thermians are his targets. The actors, in order to help the Thermians, must fulfill their television roles. In return for the Thermians' safety, Sarris demands the "Omega 13," a device the Thermians built in the bowels of the Protector, again copied from the show. Unfortunately, the Omega 13 was used only in the cliffhanger at the end of the series' final episode, which had no sequel, so that no one has any idea of its function.

After a battle against Sarris and his crew, the Thermian Protector is heavily damaged by autohoming mines which they encounter in space. A new Beryllium sphere is needed to revive the main power systems. The crew land on an alien planet, where they must evade a group of small, goblin-like predators in order to obtain the sphere. Jason, who is last in the line of escape, is left behind. He is captured by the native predators, who invoke a monster formed of animated rock to kill him. He evades this monster and is ultimately beamed out by his fellow actor Fred Kwan, who had played Tech Sergeant Chen in the television series. For other uses, see Battle (disambiguation). ...

Eventually, the ship is overrun by their enemies. Jason tries to save his fellow actors by admitting, under duress, that the television series Galaxy Quest was a "deception". Sarris, amused, orders his Lieutenant Lathe (Wayne Pére) to have the Protector's core to be overloaded and an oxygen seal to be opened into the chambers where the Thermians are held. He then orders the actors to be expelled into space. Sir Alexander Dane, the actor who had played the character of Doctor Lazarus in the group's program, engages in a mock fight with Jason, confusing their captors and providing opportunity whereby to escape. The crew then embark to rescue the Thermians and destroy Sarris: Jason and his fellow actor Gwen DeMarco move to stop the core from imploding, while Alexander and the Thermian Quellek attempt to save the rest of the Thermians; Fred and his temporary sidekick Guy Fleegman defeat Sarris' soldiers, and Tommy Webber, who had played the pilot in their television series, fulfills his role.

Jason uses Thermian communicators to contact Brandon and his equally enthusiastic friends, who have more knowledge of the Protector than any other human. Brandon guides Jason and Gwen through the Protector's dangerous inner systems and thence to the core's control center. En route, Brandon reveals that the Omega 13 is either a gigantic bomb or a device that transports the users back in time 13 seconds — enough time wherein to change one mistake. They reach the core, but fail to shut it down; however, because the ship is built to the exact specifications of the ship portrayed in the television series the core does not implode, but shuts off by itself with only one second to spare.

Meanwhile, Alexander and Quellek complete their mission by rescuing the Thermians from asphyxiation. Quellek is subsequently killed by one of Sarris' soldiers. Alexander, because Quellek had idolized his character, assumes the role of Doctor Lazarus openly by reciting the latter's vow of vengeance and attacking Quellek's killer. Fred and Guy complete their mission by destroying Sarris' soldiers, accompanied by the female Thermian called Laliari, who is mutually infatuated with Fred.

After the crew save the Thermians and free the ship, they confront Sarris again. As before, the Protector is pummeled by Sarris' mighty flagship; Jason, anticipating the fight, orders Tommy to fly near the mines, sending them chasing after the Protector. The Protector then flies toward Sarris' ship, which is rushing toward it face-to-face. Jason, at the last available moment, orders evasion; at this, the mines following the Protector collide with Sarris' ship, destroying it. For other uses, see Face (disambiguation). ...

The crew returns to the command deck to celebrate their victory. Sarris, disguised as Fred, enters the control cabin and attacks the crew. Most are killed; but before Sarris can kill all of them, Jason orders Mathesar to "activate the Omega 13", which sends him back 13 seconds in time. Jason attacks the disguised Sarris and strips him of his weapon. When Sarris reveals a knife, Mathesar knocks him insensate. For other uses, see Weapon (disambiguation). ...

The ship cannot land; therefore those aboard it separate the command deck from the ship and land it on Earth, where it crashes into a parking lot, through the side of a building and onto the stage of a Galaxy Quest convention, where fans await the missing actors. The crew step one by one onto a stage, where they face their fans. Sarris emerges behind them, whereupon Jason anticlimactically disintegrates him, to thunderous applause. The remaining Thermians fly away in their Protector to rebuild their civilization. Laliari stays behind in order to live with Fred, from whom she cannot bear to be parted.

Some time later, the crew of the Protector star in a sequel of Galaxy Quest, called Galaxy Quest: the Journey Continues. Laliari and Guy, as well as the rest of the actors, assume prominent roles. The film ends as the Protector zooms off into outer space once more.

Main characters

The cast of Galaxy Quest. Lef to right: Sam Rockwell; Alan Rickman; Tim Allen; Daryl Mitchell{background}; Sigourney Weaver;Tony Shalhoub;

• Commander/Captain Peter Quincy Taggart (both titles are used), played by Jason Nesmith (Tim Allen), is an analogue of James T. Kirk/William Shatner; Taggart has a reputation for losing his shirt at the flimsiest excuse, rolling on the ground during combat, and making pithy speeches at the drop of a hat, while Nesmith is an egomaniac who regards himself as the core of Galaxy Quest, and tells fans to "get a life", parodying William Shatner's famous appearance on Saturday Night Live.
• Dr. Lazarus of Tev'Meck, played by Sir Alexander Dane (Alan Rickman), is a member of an alien species renowned for vast and prudent intellect; he is deeply intelligent and has psionic abilities. Additionally, he has a non-standard weapon and a pretentious catchphrase: "By Grabthar's hammer, by the sons of Warvan, you shall be avenged!". In these regards, he parodies Spock and possibly Worf. Similarly, his surname is that of a person who came back from the dead (Lazarus), as did Spock. In reality, Sir Alexander Dane is a tired ex-RSC actor who resents his typecasting and despises his role, both as a second-in-command overshadowed by Jason's character and in reaction to his signature line. In this regard, he combines elements of Leonard Nimoy and a rather skewed portrayal of Patrick Stewart (or possibly a reference to Sir Alec Guinness). Lazarus' speeches often reflect a pseudo-religious bent, in the manner of Benjamin Sisko, Kira Nerys and Chakotay. Alexander Dane is never seen without his prosthetic skullcap, (even when he is alone at home), though near the end of the film, his hair begins to stick through the damaged prosthesis.
• Lieutenant Tawny Madison, played by Gwen DiMarco (Sigourney Weaver), is the Computer Officer of the Protector and performs communications duties. Her job boils down to communicating with the ship's computer, which no other crewmember can do. She is a composite of a number of Star Trek women, most obviously Lt. Uhura, who also was a communications officer. Like them, she also wears a form-fitting uniform, which causes her some embarrassment as a result of people's attention to her bosom. In this respect, she parodies Deanna Troi who, according to actress Marina Sirtis existed to make the show sexier, and Yeoman Janice Rand (Grace Lee Whitney) who graced the set of Star Trek's original series and was referred to in an early TV Guide review as a "Playboy Bunny-type waitress". In the semi-canonical promotional material for the film at least, Gwen sees herself as a trailblazer, and defends the importance of her admittedly "stupid job" — her pronouncements are similar to some of Nichelle Nichols'. The role is an in-joke for Sigourney Weaver, who became famous playing the super tough heroine Ellen Ripley in the Alien film series, the first of which was filmed at the same time as the fictional Galaxy Quest TV series (1979). Whereas Ripley was either the sole survivor or the sole-survivor-but-one of the Alien's murderous rampages, thanks to her intelligence, courage, and physical strength, Weaver described her Galaxy Quest character as the "anti-Ripley" - a stereotypical, stupid, golden-haired woman who has a needless task.
• Tech Sergeant Chen, played by Fred Kwan (Tony Shalhoub) is in charge of the engine room, and is the operator of the "digital conveyor" (like Trek's transporter). His name, Chen, is a common Chinese name, even though Shalhoub is a Lebanese American playing a Korean actor. This parodies the often muddled national identities of Star Trek: For instance, the name Noonien Soong has a puzzlingly Hindi/Chinese/Korean sound to it, though its owner is demonstrably none of the above, while Jean-Luc Picard's upper-class British English accent is somewhat mysterious given his French origins. The most likely inspiration for the character was the original Star Trek chief engineer, Montgomery Scott, who was played by a Canadian actor, James Doohan, with a more-or-less Scottish accent. Kirk's continual (though never actually spoken) line "Beam me up, Scotty!" finds an echo in Jason Nesmith's desperate plea, "Digitize me, Fred!". However, actor Fred Kwan treats most situations with incredible mellowness (with one exception), in contrast to Scotty's often frantic warnings of impending doom. His relaxed approach also recalls DeForest Kelley; even when he's been transported bodily through the vastness of space, he says only "That was a hell of a thing." Chen's ambiguous nationality may also be partly based on that of Lt. Hikaru Sulu.
• Lieutenant Laredo, played by Tommy Webber (Daryl Mitchell as an adult and Corbin Bleu as a 9-year old-child), is the very young 'boy wonder' helmsman, similar to Wesley Crusher or Will Robinson. Webber is also a parody of the many child actors who were unable to sustain their popularity as adults.
• Crewman Number 6, played by Guy Fleegman (Sam Rockwell), begins the story as a "Questerian" (Trekkie) and small-time actor who still lives with his mother. His claim to fame is his appearance in one episode of the series — as a redshirt who was killed by a lava monster before the first commercial. Although he is at first thrilled to be "in the show", when Sarris attacks and the Protector is threatened, Guy becomes convinced that he, as a glorified extra, will be the first crewmate to die, and he spends most of the movie fretting about his impending demise. Perhaps by design, in one climactic scene, Fleegman is the only major character not injured. When the series is revived at the end of the movie, a much more self-confident Fleegman becomes part of the principal cast - as Security Chief "Roc" Ingersol. This character is an homage to Guy Vardaman who worked on Star Trek: The Next Generation. [1]
• General Roth'h'ar Sarris (Robin Sachs), the evil reptilian villain, bears the name of highbrow film critic Andrew Sarris[2]. Sarris seeks to steal the Omega 13 device from the Thermians. Like General Chang in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, he has an eyepatch bolted into his skull.
• Brandon (Justin Long), a devoted Galaxy Quest fan who is first brushed aside by Jason Nesmith, then called on for help. His encyclopedic knowledge of the show allows him to provide vital assistance to Nesmith and the crew. On the DVD cast menu, the actor is erroneously identified as "Brandon Long." He is strikingly similar to real life Star Trek fan, Gabriel Köerner, who became a minor celebrity due to his prominent profile in the 1997 documentary, Trekkies.

The movie parodied everything from the technology of Star Trek to the Star Trek fan conventions. Science fiction conventions are gatherings of the community of fans (called science fiction fandom) of various forms of speculative fiction including science fiction and fantasy. ...

Because Galaxy Quest is an acknowledged homage to Star Trek, there are a variety of correspondences between the world of Galaxy Quest and the world of Star Trek. The television program within the film, Galaxy Quest, is set around the starship NSEA Protector, an instrument of the National Space Exploration Administration: thinly veiled replicas of the USS Enterprise and Starfleet (or the United Federation of Planets), respectively. A comparison of the Enterprise with other ships and buildings (see image description for more detail) The USS Enterprise, (NCC-1701) is a fictional starship in the television series Star Trek, which chronicles the vessels mission to explore strange new worlds; to seek out new life and new civilizations... This article needs additional references or sources for verification. ... This article or section does not adequately cite its references or sources. ...

This homage even extended to the original marketing of the movie, including a promotional website (Travis Latke's Galaxy Quest Vaults) intentionally designed to look like a poorly constructed fan website, with "screen captures" and poor HTML coding. HTML, an initialism of Hypertext Markup Language, is the predominant markup language for web pages. ...

The NSEA Protector

• The NSEA Protector is based on Star Trek's USS Enterprise, but in opposite structural form. Whereas the Enterprise has a curved (saucer) command section and two cylindrical warp nacelles, the Protector has a cylindrical command section and two curved engines. The Protector also has at least one shuttlecraft that looks similar to those of the Enterprise (and which has markings in the same typesetting as the Enterprise's shuttlecraft in the Star Trek movies). The underside of the Protector also has several technical markings (a series of multi-colored rectangles, circles, etc.) that correspond to similar markings on the original 11-foot U.S.S. Enterprise model that was donated to the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum after the original Star Trek series was cancelled.
• The NTE part of the Protector's registration number (NTE-3120 as opposed to the Enterprise's NCC-1701), ostensibly alludes to some sort of similar space federation, but in reality stands for "Not the Enterprise," according to visual effects co-supervisor Bill George in a 2000 interview with Cinefex magazine.^[1]
• The Protector leaving spacedock, grinding and denting its hull as it goes, is a mock tribute to the lengthy sequence in Star Trek: The Motion Picture where Admiral Kirk first sees the refitted Enterprise. This "tour shot" and slow departure from Spacedock was repeated numerous times in Star Trek, including Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, the episode "All Good Things..." in Star Trek: The Next Generation, and the launching of the Enterprise B in Star Trek: Generations. It was also repeated in the episode "Broken Bow" in Star Trek: Enterprise, which aired several years after the release of Galaxy Quest.
• Galaxy Quest parodies the Star Trek fan descriptive term war between "trekkie" and "trekker." Galaxy Quest fans are referred to by the (derogatory) term "Questies" and the more accepted term "Questarians."
• The Protector can separate into two parts, in the manner of the Enterprise-D's saucer separation of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
• The Protector is assisted by a network of service ducts, similar to the Jefferies tubes. Weaver's character even complains the prevalence of the use of the service ducts in the movie, ("Ducts, why is it always ducts?")
• The VOX communicators used by the Protector crew flip open, as did the original Star Trek's communicators. On Star Trek, they flipped up, in Galaxy Quest they flipped down.
• Portable scanners are also used on an away mission that look very much like the tricorders used in the Star Trek original television series. However, because of the ludicrous amount of bleeping lights and "technological" markers, Dr. Lazarus is unsure whether he's holding it the right way or if it is actually upside down.
• The Protector's matter-energy technology, the 'Digital Conveyor', is a standard science fiction teleporter, and so is necessarily similar to the Star Trek transporter. As the transporter's activating verb was "Energize," the digitizer is engaged with the command "Digitize." The digitizer's malfunction also echoes a frequent Star Trek plot device (this may also be a reference to a teleported baboon that is reintegrated inside-out in David Cronenberg's The Fly). In a case of "art imitates art," the untested nature of the "matter transporter" was a plot thread that ran through several early episodes of the prequel Star Trek: Enterprise.
• The Thermians take the Galaxy Quest TV show as the basis for their entire society, as in the TOS episode, "A Piece of the Action," where aliens copy gangland Chicago after a book describing it is accidentally left behind, and the TNG episode "The Royale" where aliens construct a false reality based on a casino-themed novel for an astronaut whom they accidentally stranded on their planet.
• The Galaxy Quest relaunch TV series ("Galaxy Quest: The Journey Continues") takes place "eighteen years after the original adventure"; Star Trek: The Next Generation was launched eighteen years after the original Star Trek series was cancelled.
• The Galaxy Quest score is dramatic and brassy, parodying Star Trek scores, notably the theme for The Next Generation. When the series was re-released, the score was upgraded to a more orchestral rendition, as in the case of "Trek" movies and later series Deep Space Nine and Voyager. Ironically, the Galaxy Quest theme is used in the Internet video series Star Trek: Hidden Frontier.
• Facing an enormous rock monster, Nesmith is advised to "fashion some sort of rudimentary lathe." This echoes a variety of incidents in Star Trek (particularly the original series episode "Arena") in which a crew member constructs an elaborate piece of equipment from few materials. This could also be seen as an allusion to Tim Allen's comedy series Home Improvement. The concept of fighting a rock monster is also from an early script for Star Trek V: The Final Frontier where William Shatner wanted ten rock creatures to pursue Kirk, Spock and McCoy on the surface of the alien planet. Studio cutbacks forced him to drop it to two rock monsters, then one, and finally eliminated the idea completely in the finished product.
• At the Galaxy Quest convention, there is a shy girl who imagines a romance between Madison and Taggart, referencing the common phenomenon of shipping. Also at the conventions are numerous aliens and costumes that are inspired by Star Trek. For example, three mock-Klingons are visible in the bathroom when Taggart enters near the beginning of the film. Near the end of the film, a Galaxy Quest fan can clearly be seen giving the famous Vulcan "Live Long and Prosper" salute.
• The Beryllium sphere, used to power the Protector, was a real-life component of the original Fat Man atomic bomb detonated over Nagasaki in World War II. The 1994 Universal film adaptation of The Shadow also used the Beryllium sphere as a plot device in the development of a bomb for the War Department. The Beryllium sphere, named after the fourth element of the periodic table, may also be a parody of Star Trek's dilithium crystals, which take their name from lithium, the third element.
• Jason loses his shirt during battle with the rock monster. In Star Trek, Captain Kirk frequently lost his shirt during battle with aliens and/or rogue crewmen. Di Marco comments that Jason loses his shirt in the series for no apparent reason and that he has had romantic relations with "every slave girl and moon princess" ever featured on the show.
• The basic plot of Galaxy Quest is very much like the 1986 comedy ¡Three Amigos!. Both movies involve actors who go somewhere thinking they are being called upon to do their act, only to learn they have unwittingly been recruited, by people who didn't realize that "it was only a movie", to help defend them from an outside menace. The plot also echoes the real person fiction fan fiction stories: "Visit to a Weird Planet", or the inside story behind the antagonism of a certain network toward a certain segment of the population" by Jean Lorrah and Willard F. Hunt^[2] and "Visit to a Weird Planet, Revisited" by Ruth Berman.^[3] In both of these stories the plot device includes a misadventure of the Star Trek-series actors (Shatner, Nimoy, and Kelley) when they are inadvertently beamed into the real U.S.S. Enterprise -- exchanging places with the 'real' Kirk, Spock and McCoy who are simultaneously transported to the set of the Star Trek series.
• Nesmith's warming up to the Galaxy Quest fans and embracing their dedication to the show, as well as his aura of apology to the cast mirrors William Shatner's own change of attitude. He has commented in interviews that he has apologised frequently to his castmates for his egotism during the original run of Star Trek.
• Sarris's ship looks very much like the enemy craft in the TOS episode "The Doomsday Machine".
• The Thermians sport decidedly Vulcan- and Romulan-style haircuts.
• The Thermians mention to the crew that they had programmed their "food synthesizers" to each crew member's home planet's cuisine. This is an obvious parody of Star Trek's replicators.
• The command section crash-landing on Earth is a reference to the Enterprise-D's saucer section crash landing in Star Trek Generations.
• Darryl Mitchel's character Laredo takes the controls of the Thermian's Protector and exclaims, "Hey -- this thing -- and this thingy -- I remember I had it all worked out!" alludes to several instances of the Star Trek original series characters insisting on working particular controls in established ways that they decided upon to maintain consistency and Gene Roddenberry's famous "believability factor", all as described in Stephen E. Whitfield's book "The Making of Star Trek".

Reaction quotes from Star Trek actors

• I had originally not wanted to see Galaxy Quest because I heard that it was making fun of Star Trek and then Jonathan Frakes rang me up and said ‘You must not miss this movie! See it on a Saturday night in a full theatre.’ And I did and of course I found it was brilliant. Brilliant. No one laughed louder or longer in the cinema than I did, but the idea that the ship was saved and all of our heroes in that movie were saved simply by the fact that there were fans who did understand the scientific principles on which the ship worked was absolutely wonderful. And it was both funny and also touching in that it paid tribute to the dedication of these fans. — Patrick Stewart^[4]
• I've had flashbacks of Galaxy Quest at the many conventions I've gone to since the movie came out. I thought it was an absolute laugh-a-minute. — Tim Russ^[5]
• I thought it was very funny, and I thought the audience that they portrayed was totally real, but the actors that they were pretending to be were totally unrecognizable. Certainly I don't know what Tim Allen was doing. He seemed to be the head of a group of actors and for the life of me I was trying to understand who he was imitating. The only one I recognized was the girl playing Nichelle Nichols. — William Shatner^[6], tongue-in-cheek, setting himself up.
• Yes, I have seen Galaxy Quest and no, it's not really like that. — Casey Biggs^[7]
• I loved Galaxy Quest. I thought it was brilliant satire, not only of Trek, but of fandom in general. The only thing I wish they had done was cast me in it, and have me play a freaky fanboy who keeps screaming at the actor who played "the kid" about how awful it was that there was a kid on the spaceship. Alas. — Wil Wheaton^[8].
• I think it's a chillingly realistic documentary [laughs]. The details in it, I recognized every one of them. It is a powerful piece of documentary filmmaking. And I do believe that when we get kidnapped by aliens, it's going to be the genuine, true Star Trek fans who will save the day. ... I was rolling in the aisles. And [star] Tim Allen had that Shatner-esque swagger down pat. And I roared when the shirt came off, and [co-star] Sigourney [Weaver] rolls her eyes and says, 'There goes that shirt again.' ... How often did we hear that on the set? [Laughs.] - George Takei^[9]

Trivia

• The film employed an unusual technique involving the use of multiple aspect ratios. Although the entire film was shot in anamorphic, in theaters the first 20 minutes were framed and presented in the standard 1.85:1 aspect ratio, with the remainder of the film in the 2.39:1 "scope" ratio. The change occurs when the dome opens over Jason Nesmith and he realizes that he really is in space. For the DVD, the film was presented in the 2.39:1 ratio throughout. This is not unlike the color change in the 1939 movie The Wizard of Oz. The technique was also very like the effect employed in the 1983 Douglas Trumball film Brainstorm where the "virtual reality" sequences were photographed in Super Panavision 70 with a wide aspect ratio of 2.2:1, while the rest of the film was shot in standard 35 mm with an aspect ratio of 1.66:1.
• In order to get a "PG" rating the film was edited down from its darker original version. Also, Gwen's line "Screw that!" (when they reach the chompers) is obviously a redub — she can be clearly seen saying "Fuck that!" — and Tommy's line "You are so full of it, man!" (backstage at the convention) was dubbed over "You are so full of shit, man!"
• Susan Egan, the voice of Meg in Disney's Hercules, is credited as playing the character "Teek." However, Susan Egan never actually appeared in the film. While she was set to appear, the character was dropped somewhere during script changes, yet the name still appeared on cast list and therefore in the final credits.
• Usually, as in the case of Star Trek, when there is an explosion, the camera would tilt to one side and the actors would fall to the other, creating the visual effect of the set rolling and the actors reacting (an effect often called the Irwin Allen rock-and-roll by film buffs). However, the Protector bridge set was built on hydraulic rams (or 'Gimble'), so when an explosion supposedly occurred, the set would actually (and very suddenly) rock to one side, vibrate wildly and throw the actors out of their seats. According to interviews on the DVD release of the film, the effect was so real that it actually frightened (and injured) several of the main cast. Although not used in Star Trek series or movie productions at the time Galaxy Quest was made, the technique was finally employed for the tenth Trek movie, Star Trek Nemesis, though many reviews of that film still made reference (erroneously) to the supposedly 'fake' visual effect as it appeared onscreen.
• There was going to be a reference to Alexander Dane having been knighted by Queen Elizabeth, but Alan Rickman felt it was inconsistent with the character, and asked that it be changed. Whereas all references to the knighting were removed, Rickman is still credited as playing "Sir Alexander Dane" in the ending credits. [3]
• Rainn Wilson held one of his first acting roles in this film. His only speaking lines come in the limousine scene.
• Directly after Guy Fleegman was yelling about the crew not being able to recite his last name, Tim Allen orders the crewmate, using his last name "Fleegman".
• Portions of the movie were filmed in Goblin Valley State Park, Utah, USA.
• The Region 1 DVD release of the film included an alternate audio track in which dialogue from the film is overdubbed in the aliens' "Thermian" language.
• The Region 1 DVD release also contains an "Omega 13" selection on the main menu. When selected, the Omega 13 device is seen activating and the opening sequence to the main menu is rewound and then replayed.
