    It's from the movie and it's the same prop, in the first screenshot you just can't see them because it's too far away and from the side. As you can see in the second, it's hard to make them out even from up close.

      The one thing noticeable is that unlike the SG-1 movies, this movie was actually made to be a movie. Not a TV show movie. A real movie. I like to think that instead of the movie, SG-1 is filled with continuity errors(Abydos is in the Kaliem Galaxy).

        You would be wrong. MGM owns the material and decides what canon.

          That maybe so, but what really decides what is canon is common sense.

            I think 17 years of SG would say otherwise.

              No, the word you're thinking of is 'retcon'. The show is canon, and built from the movie, but it retcons a few things from the movie to fit better in a TV series. Abydos is the closest planet to Earth in the gate system (else the whole business with stellar drift wouldn't make sense, and much of the series would fall apart). It really is a better story that way than it would be otherwise, especially given that we later see Goa'uld with ships coming to Earth and quite quickly... which really wouldn't make much sense if the Goa'uld were operating in another galaxy rather than this one.

                The word I meant was movie. It just feels like a movie not a TV spinoff.

                  No, my point is that the TV series retconned elements from the movie.

                    Are you saying the TV show felt like a movie?

                      The original film isn't a TV spinoff. It came before the TV series, and the TV series is the spinoff.

                        They're not continuity errors. They are called retcons. As for the SG-1 films are no less movies than the original. Being based on a TV show is irrelevant. The two X Files films and the first 10 Star Trek movies (discounting the reboot) were based on TV shows, but they were just as cinematic as the original Stargate movie. The only thing that brings the SG-1 movies down is that they are TV movies rather than theatrical productions.

                        That's because the movie came first.

                          As Snowman37 so kindly said(as he always does), I meant that the original movie felt more like a movie rather than Ark of Truth or Continuum which felt like TV spinoffs.

                              Well, that's because the original movie wasn't a TV spinoff, whereas "Ark of Truth" and "Continuum" were TV spinoffs. The original film was made for theatrical release, with no thought of a television series. The other two were made-for-TV movies, based on and in continuity with an existing television series franchise.

                                You all are simply not understanding Rushy. He is saying that the SG-1 movies were not as good as the original due to their "TV movie" budget and production style.
