After the ''SG-1'' television series got a greenlight from MGM, the original [[Stargate (device)|stargate device]] 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. {{factFact|date=April 2007}} <!-- I can't provide citations from official sources for this section, but they exist (probably DVD commentaries).

More subtle differences between the film's stargate and the stargate in ''SG-1'' include:
* The [[chevron (Stargate)|chevron]]s in the ''Stargate'' film do not glow as they do in the series.

There are some differences between the film and the TV series, and some canon facts from the film were simply ignored by the TV series.
* In the ''Stargate'' film, Ra is the last of an unnamed race, which is a humanoid species with large black eyes and a lack of facial features, not very dissimilar to the [[Asgard]]. In ''SG-1'' however, Ra is one of many "[[Goa'uld]] [[System Lord]]s," who are a race of parasitic snake-like creatures.
