20 Things You Didn’t Know About Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991) Part 1 

This movie is so extraordinary. The pacing is perhaps the best the franchise has ever produced. Who knew I wanted a Cold War spy thriller set in the Star Trek Universe?

Episodic, and fully cinematic at the same time. This film had EVERYTHING.

Shatner, Plummer, and another notable Klingon, John Colicos, all performed Shakespeare in Stratford Ontario's Shakespeare festival for many years.

This is my favorite Star Trek Ever. I love the look, the production design, the political thriller overtones, everything. This is what every Trek film should aspire to be.

I’m SO glad to hear you say it’s your favorite Trek film, mine too! Even though I prefer TNG era, I can’t help but absolutely love this film and it’s Shakespearean poetry to it all. Kirk saying, “Let them die!” (Despite Shatner supposedly not agreeing with Kirk saying that) the analogy to the Berlin Wall. And Plummer 😚👌🏼 It was all just poetry.

My favorite Star Trek film as well. The pacing and the action at the end between the Enterprise, Excelsior, and the cloaked Klingon ship is such an incredible scene.

I've been afraid to say how much I adore this movie! I now feel emboldened! Thank you Seán!

My Favorite Trek Movie as well! My favorite part is when Excelsior is in route to Kitamer. Sulu and navigator conversation on the bridge, "In range? Not yet sir. Come on, come on. She'll fly apart. Fly her apart then!" True testament that you do whatever it takes to help friends and family.

This was the first Star Trek movie I saw in theatres when I was 13 years old. Still remember what an experience that was.

"I am as constant as the North Star!" If Quonos doesn't have axial precession, this PROVES Shakespeare was Klingon! Even ancient peoples knew the Earth's North Star changes/cycles because the Earth wobbles.

This is probably the best Star Trek film ever made, and my joint second favourite.

Good taste there, Sean. Absolutely the best film. Amazing soundtrack, great script, and absolutely amazing casting. It simply wouldn't have worked without Warner and Plummer.

This is my favorite Star Trek film too. Not Undiscovered Country, just Sean Ferrick.

Sean, this is my favorite Star Trek movie as well. This is Star Trek at it’s best: taking current events and translating them in a way where the general audience can look at the event objectively.

My favourite as well! Perhaps I'll go and watch it.

My favorite Star Trek film as well, nice to hear someone else say it is theirs also.

This has always been my favorite movie as well, being an old navy guy and an old Cold Warrior, serving as the USSR collapsed. I could really get into Kirk's head as he said "Don't believe them. Don't trust them." This was the movie that spoke directly to me. It still does, even as the Cold War restarts in 2022.

The best Star Trek indeed. At the very least the most under rated because everyone always holds up khan and first contact but forget this one.

Brilliant as always! Undiscovered Country is also my favorite, and I agree with what you've said previously we need more stories from that era. 🖖

Star Trek 6 and 2 go back and forth on my favorite one

I was in the theater for this. The ultimate up roar by the audience was the rebutal from Kirk "earth, hitler, 1938" a MASSIVE "WOOAH!" was heard.

Armed with swagger & sharp comic timing, Iman gave a surprisingly strong performance in _VI._ She would've made a perfect Storm/Ororo Munroe in the '90s.

The scene with kirk and sulu saying "fire", i always liked that part for some reason, it was how they said it that just stood out.

And here we are some 30 yrs later, getting another iron curtain..

This is my favorite as well. I've watched it so times and it never gets old.

The Pepto Bismol blood...🤨

I was today years old when the Gorkon thing occurred to me too so yeah, think they were safe there...

This is, and always shall be, my favorite Trek film. A StarTrek whodunit?!? Are you kidding me?!!!

It is so almost perfect. There was one major flaw that Ms. Nicols points out with the character Uhura. Other than that, i adore this movie

"If there is to be a brave new world. Our generation will have the hardest time living in it" best line in the movie.

The Undiscovered Country is also my favourite Star Trek film, with First Contact coming in a close second, followed by The Voyage Home and Insurrection.

This, is my favourite Star Trek film…….. as well 👍🏽

It's my favorite Trek film as well!

This is my favorite Star Trek movie as well

Truth be told the undiscovered country is my favorite original cast trek film . I loved seeing the cast in a who did it thriller and a final space battle . Plus I was hoping they would continue with captain Sulu and the Excelsior.

I bought the soundtrack as a kid and loved it.

This is my favorite Star Trek movie too!

This is my favorite Trek film too! I watched the VHS tape on repeat til I wore it out as a kid.

Probably my favorite, too, Sean.

This has always been my favorite too. The acting. The effects. The MUSIC!!! The story. I just love this movie.

OH!! I wonder if the pink blood is a vague reference to The Animated Series, where the Klingons had pink/purple & green palette for everything?

i can say that Star trek 6 is my favorite as well!

This is hands down my favorite Trek film by far! So good to see this, thank you!!

One of your best videos to date!

A nice bit about the whole "Klingon Shakespeare" thing is that the Klingon language explicitly lacks the verb "to be."

I have this and the Director's Cut. This is the way to end the series with the original crew.

David Warner was phenomenal as Jack the Ripper in Nicholas Meyer’s “Time After Time” playing opposite another future Star Trek film actor Malcolm McDowell.

Yesss, the vid I was waiting for 🖖

Of the original six films, Undiscovered Country is definitely my favorite, just edging out The Wrath of Khan. (Even though I was disappointed that we didn't get to see an actual battle between the Enterprise and Kronos One .....which was depicted in the movie poster....in fact, both Chang's bird of prey and a K't'inga battlecruiser are firing on the Enterprise in the poster). A movie goer that had seen the film before I did on opening night did say "Do not expect The Wrath of Khan", so I took his advice, and still loved the film. I LOVED the return of the K't'inga class battlecruiser to the big screen in the form of Kronos One (Q'onoS 'wa) , but my favorite version of the K't'inga will always be the ones we saw in Star Trek The Motion Picture. (TMP also had the best photon torpedo effects of any of the Trek films)

Sorry, I knew everything you told, but it was good to hear it 🖖🏻♥️

I really love hearing the 20 things you never knew about Star Trek : VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991)

Being my favorite, too, I was pleasantly surprised to see facts I genuinely didn't know about the film. Good work!

This my favourite too & the first one I got to see at cinema!🖖🏻

Definitely my favorite Trek film, has been since I first saw it. I like your list, thank you!

Always preferred this over ST II: TWOK.

Excellent video brother

@SEAN WORF IS BACK!!! Gates, LeVar, Dorn ALL confirmed for season 3!!

This is my favorite Trek movie too

David Warner and Stewart had also done the same stage plays, same roots and same theatrical circuit. 2 professionals doing genius theatre on screen. Brilliant

Without a doubt my favorite Star Trek film. I saw it in theatres as a child and today credit this film as my introduction into becoming a history and world-building junkie.

Seeing what just dropped on TrekMovie.... I'm sure Sean is going to be freaking out in the next 72 hours. Can't wait to see what he puts together.

5:31 I believe it. I myself would never have connected Gorkon with two scarcely similar political figures. How do we know, though? If you're a test audience member, asking if you noticed that gives you hindsight bias. If no one asks, it's not like you'd say "and I noticed the Chancellor had an especially non-allegorical name!" 😉

Such an underrated movie

Yes, this is absolutely the best Trek film for me too. Great video, thanks 🖖🏽

Good to see you talking about actual Star Trek.

David Warner also played Jack the Ripper in the Nicolas Meyer directed film, Time After Time in ‘79. Great movie btw

My favorite too!!! I can quote the entire movie.

No lie it's my favorite to, went and seen it at the theater as a kid, always has been my favorite

I’ll give you 15/20. Some of what you said was said in the 25th anniversary of Star Trek which showed scenes of Star Trek VI

That's fine. It's my favorite Star Trek movie too. Great video. Thanks.

The best movie! It was a fantastic farewell for the original crew and cast. Everything in this movie was well done in my opinion. Particularly it has a very affective memory because it was the first Star Trek movie I watched in the theaters (and Star Trek had never a big space in Brazil) when I was 14 and my whole family was there with me (and they don’t like sci-fi) After that it became almost a family thing watching Star Trek movies together in theaters. It is the only film my sister (again she does not like sci-fi) seats with me to watch whenever I see it again and she is around

I agree. It is my favorite movie. Together with ST II.

🖖😎👍Very cool and very well done and very informatively explained indeed 👌

Capt Sulu my friends, enough said.

Jack Palance: it's the first time I've heard him called that.

It's my favourite one too!

This Trek and First Contact are my favorites. I like 2, 3 & 4 too but those two are my favorites.

It was very good music, I did very much like Horners take on Trek as well as Eidelmans, I do like how dark Eidelmans take was

Sulu to Christian Slater: “Do you have a hearing problem?” Spock to Kim Cattrall: “What you want is irrelevant, it’s what you do that matters!”

This is my fav film.

I really must get all these films, I've not seen them in ages.

Best Spock Quote: “If you eliminate the impossible, whatever is left, however improbable, must be the truth.”

Yeah, that's my favourite ST film, too.

This is my favourite Star Trek film too - a proper grown-up film :P

Excellent information here! I too, thought The Undiscovered Country was first class!! 🚀

Thanks for the video. I look forward to the other installments. I have to say I am probably the odd man out on this. This is my second favorite with TMP being my first. To me TMP was better Science Fiction than the later films. However, my god the acting in ST IV. Every beat spot on and the overall feel is better than the budget should have made it.

Yeah I loved this one! However my number 1 is First Contact.

Half a list!? Don't let it end this way, Captain.

Good stuff

My favorite as well.

Best movie for sure 👍 good list too

My favorite too. Plummer is amazing.

6 seconds more and adds would have kicked in. Thanks for that.

My favorite as well!

IV and VI - my favorites 🤩

"This is my favorite Star Trek film" I think you and I can be friends :)

My personal favorite Star Trek movie (as well).

i would love to have a video made about star trek pins. movie prop pins, behind the screen pins, and fan made pins

I think in order I would put this Star Trek movie second to The Voyage Home, with First Contact coming in a close third. All great movies and a fun video'

It’s my favorite as well
