* ChangedMyMindKid: When the soldiers go to try and fight Ra at the end of the movie, the leader of the local population refuses to help. Later, when most of the squad (and the few locals who came to help anyway) are surrounded and facing defeat, he shows up at the head of a large fighting force and turns the tide of the battle.

* DeadHatShot: Near the climax of the movie, most of the surviving soldiers are trying to fight Ra's guards with the help of some local teenagers. When one of the teenagers is shot, we don't see his body, just his hat (a helmet he borrowed from one of the soldiers) rolling away.

A recon team led by Colonel Jack O'Neil (Creator/KurtRussell), and with Jackson along to reopen the gate from the other side, finds an Egyptian-style pyramid and primitive human society. While Jackson is struggling to identify the correct symbols to get the team back to Earth, the SufficientlyAdvancedAlien Ra (supposedly the same entity as the Egyptian god of the sun) appears on a humongous pyramid-like starship, using the alien pyramid as a landing pad. Declaring his intentions to eliminate [[Film/AttackOfTheEyeCreatures the Eartheans]], it forces the team to cooperate with the natives to free them from Ra's tyrannical control.

* WhateverHappenedToTheMouse: Ra's backstory establishes that his homeworld and entire species were dying before he stumbled across ancient Earth. While he survived by taking a human host, the fate of his species is left unresolved. ''SG-1'' will seize on this danging loose end and make it one of the catalysts of the spinoff show.

* AnchoredTeleportation: In the novelization, the ring teleportation system from Ra's ship into the pyramid only worked if there was something to be [[SwapTeleportation swapped]] on the other side. When Daniel and O'Neill get the idea to send the nuclear bomb rigged by Ra to the ship, the mechanism doesn't work until Ra's child servants are on the pad, swapping the two.

** Justified in that Ra does not trust his human slaves with more advanced technology or techniques given he does not even allow them to read or write to avoid another rebellion like on Earth, and their meagre output is likely sufficient for his needs.

* PetTheDog: About the only time any of the military members of the team treat Jackson with any kind of sympathy is after he first exits the Stargate, [[TeleportationSickness covered in frost and disoriented]] from the transport process. Even so, they probably only give him said sympathy because they just dealt with that themselves moments before. It's definitely justified, given that right after this, he admits that he made some really dumb assumptions about being able to get them home again, and has stranded them.

** Knowing how Daniel identifies the 7th symbol on Earth, (recognizing it as a pyramid with the sun over it), finding which of the symbols on Abydos is the 7th one should be easy - it's also a pyramid, this time with the planet's three moons. In fact it should be even simpler for Daniel as this symbol actually has the vertical line from the apex of the pyramid to the top moon, which Daniel expected to see between the Sun and the Pyramid on Earth's gate.
