Yeah you have most of it in that compilation…But

as previously ststaed there is the computer screen shots of James Spader “Last known location - Egypt”

and there is another quite long shot of a death glider circling around the exterior of the pyramid ship as when I did that video I did not have season 3 or 2, I cannot remember. this clip is about 8 seconds.

The problem though with these clips from the movie that MGM spliced into the show SG-1 is that the PAL versions which I have those clips are hard coded interlaced where as the rest of the shots are progressive scan. So I don’t know if the SG1 series in the US was released in NTSC interlaced as then these could be de-interlaced to remove all the Blurred frames. That would be my shout on it, at least get the original series 1 in US NTSC DVD to see if the majority movie snatched shots can be de-interlaced… probably can pick it up fairly cheap? Thw new release with CGI updates removes a lot of the movie snatched shots from Children of the gods pilot.

The brief audio clips are from the Stargate CD rom however the mov files are old mov’s and VLC seems to no longer support the audio codec for it. It;s nothing particularly special it’s ambient announcements from an early version in the Military base and when they get to the pyramid there is some very brief radio chatter ambient noise. They might run in Media Player classic I’m not sure though. Also from the CD rom contains a nice font for the subtitles I am assuming that they are the original theatrical subtitles which you would get on a flim print.

It would be interesting to see if those fonts made it onto a TV version. would be a nice restoration to do rather than the bland dvd or bluray player generated fonts

When I was messing around with the film I had an idea to infuse a bit more Egytptian mummy horror to it and Russell Mulachy Tales of the mummy or Talos the mummy might be a good resource for that.

There is an extended cut with extra scenes of Christopher Lee and basically the tents and the dig site look identical to the ones in Stargate there is also some interesting ancient Egypt flashbacks which also might help with that aspect if you feel like giving it a bit of Hammer Horror feel 😃 The film is quite crap but there are some quite good bits at the Dig site and the Egypt flash Backs. The main idea here was when Daniel Recounts the uprising against Ra instead of showing repeated shots from the end of the film you could show ancient Egypt instead. But this could also be used when Daniel is ressurected to show the Healing sarcophagus also infuses things from the past when brought back to life.
