We're rolling.
God/
Harry/
Where the hell are we?
(Richard Dean Anderson) A day in the life. l'm on my way to set.
l think it's Kit Lake that we're at. We've been here for about three days now.
Total exposure, some of the hottest days spent in Vancouver, British Columbia.
So for this entire week we'll be making this route.
As you can see, it's elegantly beautiful British Columbia.
lt's an alien Utopia. According to the scroll, it's supposed to be paradise.
What?
A long time ago some people from an advanced alien society...
they chucked it all and they formed this isolated Utopian community.
You know, Harry, it's not that l can't believe you lied to me again,
it's that you lied to me again/
l'm tired of runnin'. Why should l when l can have a chance of in paradise?
l see trees, Harry. You get that in Colorado.
(Richard Dean Anderson) On location. Let's cut our shots later.
But for now l gotta go through this slalom course, and drive with my left hand.
Oh!
And cut.
When we get around to here, pick up a piece. lt would help.
We'll pick up the speed. Come all the way round.
Then we're gonna come right in the back of your head.
We want you to go here and go...
We're just gonna go through it.
All right.
(director) And you hear a noise now.
And... action.
(director over megaphone) You hear the other noise.
Cut it. OK.
Cut.
How am l lookin'?
After ''action'' there is no stunt people in this shot.
Just Richard Dean Anderson in the little hut, redoing what he's been doing -
his dialogue and stuff - and the tumble across the floor.
''His dialogue''!
Synchronic...
At the same time as the bullets go across, that the effects guys have loaded.
We're gonna talk to you about that in a sec.
Richard's gonna have to be a little careful with that.
Scott's gonna talk to him.
This is gonna be good, isn't it?
Once the detonation of the wall has happened from the machine-gun fire...
Really good.
Tom is going to relieve himself of his machine gun and pull out a grenade.
He's gonna pull the pin on the grenade and he'll toss it in the vicinity of the hut.
We're not set for that explosion. We'll cut there.
All right? Those are the beats that we're gonna do. We'll do a dry run.
(Anderson) What you guys doin'?
We're doin' bullet hits in straw walls.
l just can't imagine cute little furry things making big powerful weapons.
- Hold that. Hold that there. - Holding. Holding, Bill.
This'd be number nine.
Beautiful.
Perfect.
Scott is now gonna tell you all,
for our benefit and for Mr Richard Dean Anderson and the camera operators,
what he's got happening there in the wall. Go ahead.
We've got 16 bullet hits starting around here and travelling left.
Some in the cage, some in here, some in here.
These are quite loud and they throw up debris.
So if you're close by, operating a camera, you must have face protection.
They're loud. Rick'll want earplugs, and anyone out here'll wanna plug their ears.
Nice delivery.
A healthy crew is a happy crew.
ln the frame. But you'll have to get out of the frame.
- lt's with you or Dan, whichever you want. - Rolling, or...?
l'll put dust hits along the wall. Rick can chase you out with them.
They'll be firecrackers, loud, but they'll be behind you.
OK, l'm already on the ground.
OK, good. l think we ought to drop back, we'll get set up for the wide.
Which is the first bullet hits and the outside bullet hits, and it'll include Rick.
l'll do a tighter shot from a raking angle so we can get all the hits closer,
and the wide one over... Tom.
We'll establish Tom, go through all that with Tom. Use Rick in that.
Come inside. Use Rick in this. And then we'll get 'em to blow up.
l gotta cover Tom tighter. Then Rick'll be done.
We'll let you know how it turns out.
- Scott, whenever you're ready. - Ready?
- Rehearsing? - Yeah.
Shit.
Rehearsal, and...
And action, Rick.
Hey!
Hey! lt was a Goa'uld!
He couldn't bring a weapon through that doorway, so he brought that plant.
lt's some kind of drug or something.
Maybe it was an experiment.
Maybe it was meant to make 'em all serve him. l don't know, but it all backfired.
Hey!
Can you hear me?
These people... they all killed themselves because of that plant.
You're paranoid.
lt's messin' with your head. l'm not tryin' to kill you.
(men make machine-gun noises)
(Anderson laughs)
l'm a dead man.
l guess the point of rehearsing is to actually rehearse, practise.
War is hell, huh? l gotta have my own makeup lady with me on the front line.
(man) So the big moment's coming. How do you feel?
Actually, l'm constipated today.
- (megaphone) Mr Gereghty? Are you set? - Of course.
You're ready? OK. We're gonna go hard on the gun, and hard on the wall.
Effects are hot, guns are hot. Here we go. This is picture.
- (woman) Picture's up. - Picture's up.
We're gonna roll.
(woman) Rolling. We'll have gunfire and effects. Plug your ears.
We're rolling with gunfire and effects.
- All set? - We're ready, Bill.
All right, and... action.
Hey/
Hey/ lt was a Goa'uld/
He couldn't bring a weapon through the doorway
so he brought a plant.
lt's some kind of drug or something.
Maybe it was an experiment.
Maybe it was supposed to get the people to serve him. l don't know, but it backfired.
These people...
they all killed each other because of that plant.
You're paranoid.
lt's messin' with your head.
l'm not tryin' to kill you.
- Cut it. - Nice, huh?
Pretty nice, boys. One take. Got it, boys.
l didn't even know we hit that.
- The grenade went right in, didn't it? - Nice toss.
When all is said and done, after all the years that we've been shooting Stargate,
it's been a good run. We've had a good time, made some fun stuff.
But ultimately, l just have one thing to say.
( circus music plays on organ)
Here's a change. The good part.
(music stops)
Thanks.
