==Names==

A few names were spelled differently or changed, which has been a source of in-jokes and pedanticism ever since:

* In the film, [[Kurt Russell]]'s character is named Jonathan "Jack" O'Neil. In SG-1, [[Richard Dean Anderson]]'s character is named Jonathan "Jack" O'Neill (with two L's). In one episode of SG-1 Colonel O'Neill spelled his name to someonea reporter investigating the Stargate program and fuhter stated that there was another Colonel Jack O'Neil in the airforce who had 'no sense of humour'. A reference to Kurt Russel's humourless portrayal of the character in the movie.

* In the film, the name of O'Neil's wife was spelled Sarah; in SG-1, her name is spelled without the H.

* O'Neil's son was named ''Tyler'' in the film, whereas O'Neill's son from SG-1 is named Charlie.
