YMMV: Galaxy Quest
  • Complete Monster: Unsurprisingly, Sarris, the genocidal warlord with a penchant for Cold-Blooded Torture, ticks off all five of this trope's criteria with considerable aplomb.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: After Tommy is injured badly, he screams in pain after his arm is broken. Daryl Mitchell, the actor playing Tommy, was in a motorcycle accident and was left paralyzed because of it. Now watch the scene with this fact in mind...
  • Hilarious in Hindsight:
    • When Tony Shalhoub's character has to operate the digital conveyor, and he talks about the thing he did with his hands...
    • Similarly, same character's rather out-of-nowhere remark on how impressively clean the floors are in the alien spaceship.
    • Also, Shepherd is fighting Gorignak (the rock monster), and remarks that he "doesn't have any weak points." The line becomes especially ironic when Gorignak later makes a kind-of reappearance in Metroid Prime, where its revealed that it does have a weakness (using the thermal visor to locate the weak phazon ore, expose it with firepower, and then finishing it off with firepower while using the combat visor.
  • Large Ham:
  • Retroactive Recognition:
  • Squick: The aforementioned Naughty Tentacles, plus the Teleporter Accident.
  • Tear Jerker: Surprisingly, this movie has some emotionally powerful moments, not the least of which is when Jason is forced by Sarris to explain the concept of TV shows to Mathesar, who looks absolutely devastated.
    • The death of Quellek, including Alexander's last words to him.
