STARGATE (1994): Space Pyramids, Cocking Galore & Kurt's Not Fun

This week on Rewind Classic Movies, GB and AJ revisit Stargate (1994) - a film that launched one of the biggest TV sci-fi franchises of all time, despite mixed reviews and a surprisingly grim leading man.

We dig into:

• Why Kurt Russell is not having fun
• James Spader’s Jon Bon Jovi vibes
• Jay Davidson’s emotional reaction to his villainous turn as Ra
• Practical effects that still impress and visual choices that really don’t
• How a planned movie trilogy quietly became a TV phenomenon

Is Stargate an underrated classic, or a fascinating misfire held together by ambition and production design?

Dial the gate. Let’s find out.
