After the ''SG-1'' television series got a greenlight from MGM, the original [[Stargate (device)|stargate devidedevice]] prop was considered to be re-used. The prop was found on a studio backlot, weather-beaten beyond usability for the TV series. A cast was made instead, and several new stargate props were constructed from it for use in the gate room and on-___location shooting. Unlike the TV ___location gate, the gate in the gateroom can spin, although the original movie gate did not have computer programs and had to be turned by crew members. {{fact|date=April 2007}} <!-- I can't provide citations from official sources for this section, but they exist (probably DVD commentaries).

* The [[chevron (Stargate)|chevron]]s in the ''Stargate'' film do not glow as they do in the series.
