History Awesome / GalaxyQuest

'''Madison:''' ''(explosion as another missile hits the Protector)'' Armor almost gone, Jason!\\

-->'''Jason:''' Tommy… do you think you could get us ''closer'' to these mines?\\

* "And what ''you'' fail to realize is that my ship is ''dragging mines!''"
** Just before that:
--> '''Jason''': It doesn't take a great actor to recognize a bad one - you're sweating!

* Sarris gets one after he appears to be defeated, albeit a horrifying and dark one. He teleports onboard the Protector disguised as Fred and guns down the crew [[{{Irony}} (except Guy)]]. The ResetButton undid it, but he deserves credit for sheer vileness.

* A minor moment of in-universe awesome- the writers of the original show were so internally consistent that not only were the Thermians able to recreate all of the technology, but fans were able to figure out how the ship would work as well! Yes, they had silly things like the ducts or the Crushers that led to a pit of fire, but fans of the show were able to model it accurately enough to guide real people through the ship.

* Mathesar beating up Sarris [[CaneFu with a cane]] despite being put through brutal torture not too long ago?

* "And what ''you'' fail to realize is that my ship is [[spoiler:''dragging mines!'']]"

* "By Grabthar's hammer... by the suns of Worvan... you shall be ''avenged''." [[spoiler: Followed shortly by Alan Rickman killing an alien soldier with his bare hands, [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge and kicking prodigious amounts of ass in what can only be described as a berserk fury.]] Think about that for a moment. He's an actor, armed with nothing more than his fists and whatever he can get his hands on, up against a horde of battle hardened alien soldiers who have directed energy weapons and body armor. When we see him later, all evidence shows that he's ''winning''. Add to this the fact that he's inspired the Thermians to join him in the fight, and they start earning their ass-kicking credentials quite nicely.]]

* The self-destruct override [[spoiler:apparently failing only to kick in just before the timer reaches zero. Cue a moment of bewilderment for both characters and audience before Gwen [[LampshadeHanging hangs the metatextual lampshade]]: "It always [[MagicCountdown stops at one]] on the show."]] Payoff!
* Sarris gets one after he appears to be defeated, albeit a horrifying and dark one. [[spoiler:He teleports onboard the Protector disguised as Fred and guns down the crew [[{{Irony}} (except Guy)]]. The ResetButton undid it, but he deserves credit for sheer vileness]].
* Brandon (the fan who accidentally got the communicator) has one fairly late in the movie. When Captain Nesmith calls him to ask some technical questions about the ship, Brandon tries to explain that he knows it's not real, that it's only a show. The Captain cuts him off to tell him it's all real, to which he responds "OH I KNEW IT!!!!" And every Star Trek fan in the audience had a [=CMoA=] of "If only...".

** Mathesar [[spoiler:taking command of the Protector.]]

** Or how about Jason bowing before Mathesar in respect.

* In a deleted scene, Alexander uses all of his theatrical talent to try and figure out what could be the rock monster's motivation.
* Jason defeating Sarris once and for all - and this time, the rolling really does work!

* In a deleted scene, Alexander uses all of his theatrical talent to try and figure out what could be the rock monster's motivation.

--> '''Alexander:''' Oh my God. It's real.

--> (meanwhile, Rocky's throwing the soldiers around like toys)

* Most of the score is just a [[ThemeAndVariationsSoundtrack variation on the Galaxy Quest theme]], but it is absolutely [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FqlDo0ofcI glorious!]]

* While it doesn't happen in the movie, [[Website/SFDebris one guy]] happened upon the idea of scoring the scene of [[spoiler:the Omega 13 being activated and Nesmith [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong Setting Right What Once Went Wrong]]]] to Corey Hart's "Never Surrender". [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome Guess how well it works...]]
