* BeamMeUpScotty: Well, the phrase in question is quoted correctly, but the way it was originally said isn't. Imitators of Creator/BrianBlessed (and Blessed himself) will often bellow "GORDON'S ALIVE!!!" as hard as they can, but in the movie Vultan is relatively subdued and more surprised than anything when saying it, more like "Gordon's ''alive?!''".

** Creator/TimothyDalton, especially considering the film also starred [[Creator/BrianBlessed]]. Dalton's performance actually does work to the benefit of the film, though, since it's not so much a ''bad'' movie as a very silly one. [[WordOfGod According to Dalton himself]], he did this intentionally on advice from Creator/MaxVonSydow. It also notably makes him the only person someone could take seriously as the leader of Mongo.
