- Uh, HELLO!?! I would hardly call $65 million a big ass hit in my books,

- The Hell you say? "StarGate" cost EXACTLY $55 Million to make and
- grossed $72 million in America (therefore a profit). BUT Overseas it has
- a grand total of $200 Million, so you can shove your top 50 list up your
- ass! It was picked as the best sci-fi movie of 1994 in I believe it was
- Sci-Fi Universe. Don't even think it was the editor's choice either, cuz
- it was a readers poll. "StarGate" rules!
