==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 a reporter investigating the Stargate program and fuhterfurther 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.
