Galaxy Quest Quotes From The Parody Film

Galaxy Quest is a 1999 American sci-fi comedy film filled with hilarious one-liners, as you will see in these Galaxy Quest quotes.

The film is both a parody of and homage to various science-fiction films and series, especially Star Trek.

It was directed by Dean Parisot and written by David Howard and Robert Gordon. It’s got quite the comedy lineup with stars like Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Tony Shalhoub, Sam Rockwell, and Daryl Mitchell.

It chronicles the cast of a fictional and defunct cult television series called Galaxy Quest. They spend most of their days attending fan conventions and making various promotional appearances.

Jason Nesmith, the conceited star of the old show, lives for the attention. However, the other cast members—Gwen, Alexander, Fred, and Tommy—resent him (along with the state of their careers). That disdain comes across in a few of these Galaxy Quest quotes!

The cast members are drawn into a real interstellar conflict when actual aliens come to planet Earth. The aliens mistakenly think the series is an accurate documentary.
