* Whereas the film's Stargate resides in the fictional military facility located in Creek Mountain, the Stargate in ''SG-1'' is in the [[Cheyenne Mountain]] military complex.<ref name=bbc.co.uk />

* 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 (Stargate)|Asgard]]. In ''SG-1'' however, Ra is one of many "[[Goa'uld]] [[System Lord]]s," who are a race of parasitic snake-like creatures.<ref name=gwfaq /><ref name=nytimes />

* In the film, the [[planet]] [[Abydos (Stargate)|Abydos]] resides millions of [[lightyear]]s away in an entirely different [[galaxy]]. In ''SG-1'', Abydos is the closest planet to [[Earth]] that has a Stargate, residing in the same galaxy as Earth. Also in ''SG-1'', Stargate travel is limited to the Stargate network in the [[Milky Way galaxy]] (unless a tremendous amount of power is used to lengthen the subspace wormhole of a Stargate to another galaxy's Stargate).<ref name=bbc.co.uk />
