1. He sounds like Tony Shalhoub's character in "Galaxy Quest" (1999): "That was a hell of a thing."

The following is from my AI search:

"That was a hell of a thing" is a memorable line spoken by Fred Kwan (played by Tony Shalhoub) in the 1999 sci-fi comedy Galaxy Quest. It is often cited as a meta-acknowledgment of the film’s quality and as a nod to the cast's bizarre experience, sometimes referenced by fans.

Key Details About the Line:
Context: Fred says this after experiencing a tense or, in his own relaxed perspective, wild moment while traveling in a space pod, as noted in IMDb's quotes page.
Significance: The line is often highlighted in discussions about the film's witty, character-driven humor.
