"Stargate" 25 Years Later...

James Spader (as Daniel Jackson) and Kurt Russell (as Jack O’Neil) in the original “Stargate” movie.

The San Francisco Chronicle has written a tribute to “Stargate” in recognition of its 25th Anniversary - 25 years since Jack O’Neil, as played by Kurt Russell, and Daniel Jackson, as played by Michael Shanks, stepped through the stargate.

Per the website:

“Director Roland Emmerich and producer Dean Devin may have made their most prominent impact crater on the cultural landscape via “Independence Day” in 1996, but they earned their place in many a heart two years earlier via the charmingly goofy “Stargate.”

Primarily remembered today as the mothership that launched 15-plus seasons of television spin-offs, the original movie was itself something of a phenomenon when it was released 25 years ago.”
