The initial movie was interesting but sterile. This movie delved into the characters and was the movie that introduced humor into the series. It's interesting how the even number Star Treks were the best; #6 being an Agatha Christie-in-Space movie.

Correct take. There is no sequel that unquestionably surpasses it's original by as much as Wrath of Khan beats Star Trek 1. Aliens, T2, Dark Knight, etc. were all followups to good initial movies, whereas Wrath of Khan has to overcome a tremendously mediocre Star Trek 1.

@christopherferrarelli2262 Месяц назад

Originally, When Leonard Nimoy signed on for this film, he thought it would be the last of the Trek movies. But during the making of the film, having seen how it was much more positive than it was on TMP, Nimoy thought maybe Star Trek can continue with more movies. And if it could, then why would you want to leave? Nimoy shared his concerns with Harve Bennett, who produced this film and is known for such shows like The Bionic Woman & The Six Million Dollar Man. He also felt that while Nimoy was enthused about telling more stories for future movies, the enthusiasm wasn’t so much that he said “Don’t kill me off.” When they were going to shoot the scene where Spock neck-pinched McCoy; before going into the chamber, Bennett approached Nimoy and asked him: “What could you do to leave a thread for the future?” Nimoy got what Bennett was saying. And he came up with the idea of Spock doing a mind-meld with McCoy, and he says “Remember…” They both felt it was vague enough to serve as a lead-in to another story. The shots of Spock’s torpedo tube on the Genesis Planet were reshoots because of how much the original ending was very depressing. Test audiences felt like they had been kicked in the stomach. Nicholas Meyer didn’t want to shoot those scenes because he felt that Spock had died and there was no way to bring him back. So ILM shot the footage of Spock’s coffin on Genesis, and they also added Nimoy’s narration of the prologue at the end of the film; all in an attempt to give the audience some hope that Spock will return.

@ThreadBomb Месяц назад

The reshot ending really works, IMO. It feels really powerful and hopeful without taking away from the apparent finality of Spock's fate.

@toob1979 Месяц назад

That was Ricardo's real chest. It was said he did 100 push ups every day.

@logandarklighter Месяц назад

He kind of HAD to! He had had a bad back injury in the 60s and could no longer stand for extended periods. He didn’t become outright unable to walk until the mid-late 90s. But it was always a struggle for him. He couldn’t jog or run to exercise so to stay fit he had to exercise in a manner that would suit him. He concentrated on his arms and core strength. Thus the pushups, among other things.

@rybock Месяц назад

Spock dying... one reason for the Kobiashi Maru was to do a fake death at the start, so people who heard rumors he would die might think, "OK, it was a fake death." Secondly, one thing about the double-breasted uniform with a belt, when one gets up, they'd tuck on the bottom edge to pull it down and straighten it out... a lot of the audience felt when Spock stood up and did the tuck thought, "Oh, he's OK", which helped make the scene hit harder.

@janus1958 Месяц назад

It was a smart move. By putting that scene in, it kept people from waiting for Spock to die and being distracted throughout the movie.

@clash79 Месяц назад

The writing in this movie is bar-none, absolutely brilliant. So many set-up, pay-offs, parallels, etc., and just in the first 5 minutes, no less! Right out the gate, Kirk states the entire point of the story, "How we deal with death is at least important as how we deal with life," and then "Galloping around the cosmos is a game for the young, Doctor." And then when he sees Spock, "Aren't you dead?", setting up a perfect foreshadowing! Just, what a great movie - even if you're not a Trek fan!

June 1982, after waiting until my towns little theater FINALLY gets the movie and the weekly special ticket price of "dollar Night" my mom dropped 10 years old (Superfan) me. Spock's death made me BAWL like a baby and I had to walk the block and a half to where my mom was parked for my pick up. I stumbled up still bawling my head off. She thought some big kids must have beat me up coming out of the theater. "Nobody picked on me...Spock DIED" She had been rethinking letting me have my 1st solo movie-going experience. Spock was the entire reason I started in the Star Trek fandom as a kid. a 5-minute spotting of a rerun at somebody's house just walking past the TV room. I was hooked. My all time fave Star Trek. and STILL makes me cry.

@bbser Месяц назад

My Navy pals and I got in line early on opening day in Groton, Ct. There were 2 more audiences worth of people in line behind us. The management asked if we all wouldn't mind starting the show early (to great cheer). We were all in tears with Spock's death... the audience was crying it was so surreal. We were the kids who grew up with Star Trek in first run and it was inconceivable that our beloved Spock was gone. I can just imagine audience number two seeing our red faces, dried tears, and high emotion as we passed each other. TWOK was in that theater all summer and I went back at least 3 more times.

Montalban said in an interview that, on his first day on set, he delivered his lines at top intensity and volume. At the first break in filming, the director Nicholas Meyer asked to join him in his trailer so they could discuss stuff. Meyer started going over the option of lowering the level a bit. Montalban told him, “Oh, you’re going to DIRECT me! That’s good-I need directing badly!” It had been a while since he had gotten anything other than fawning feedback on set.

@bighuge1060 Месяц назад

Kathy, great bit of trivia. I love Montalban being appreciative of the director's input.

@ThreadBomb Месяц назад

Maybe not "fawning feedback", but playing the main character on a long-running TV series, directors would count on him to know the character better than they would.

@Mauther 27 дней назад

Montalban was one of those actors who was severely typecast. By the 80's he was really called on to play the same character. Kind of like Christopher Walken, you hire him to play a specific type of character. When one of these actors get a chance to act out of type, you usually get something special like Walken in Blast From the Past.

@kathyastrom1315 27 дней назад

@@Mauther Have you seen Walken in the tv film “Who Am I This Time?” It’s a romantic comedy from 1982, so it was early in his career, done for PBS’s American Playhouse. It was directed by Jonathan Demme, costarred Susan Sarandon, based on a Vonnegut short story. I highly recommend it-it’s a wonderful celebration of small-town amateur acting groups. Walken is terrific as a nearly-pathologically shy store clerk who transforms when he is on stage, and Sarandon is the emotionally shut-off trainer who is new to the town and only gets to know Walken when she is cast opposite his Stanley Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire. If I ever had the chance to meet Walken, I’d tell him that directors were stupid to not make him a romantic lead.

@Blazingstoke Месяц назад

A couple other fun notes regarding links to the original series: 1) The Kobayashi Maru test is set in the Gamma Hydra sector, which we last saw in "The Deadly Years" - the episode where Kirk (among others) found himself aging rapidly and thus getting relieved of command. In the movie, Kirk has apparently already convinced himself that he's too old to command a starship again, no matter how much he longs to do it. (Also, Gamma Hydra was established in TOS as being on the border of the _Romulan_ Neutral Zone; however, it was cheaper to use the shots of the Klingon ships from TMP than build new Romulan vessels for a couple seconds of screentime.) 2) In the pilot episode, "Where No Man Has Gone Before", Gary Mitchell says that Kirk was such a hardass as an Academy instructor that Mitchell convinced a "blonde lab technician" to seduce Kirk so he'd chill out; Kirk responds, "I almost married her!" It's never been confirmed, but a popular fan theory holds that that lab tech was Carol Marcus.

This is one of the rare movies that gets a 10/10 from me. I absolutely love it!!! This movie in the Trek timeline takes place about 20 years since the start of Kirk's original 5 year mission on the U.S.S. Enterprise. David is clearly older than 20. So Kirk and Carol Marcus must have gotten together before the events of Star Trek the original series. In the episode "Where No Man Has Gone Before", the second pilot of the show and Kirk's first appearance going by production order... Kirk has this interaction with Gary Mitchell, someone who had been his friend since they were in the academy together, talking about past exploits: MITCHELL: If I hadn't aimed that little blonde lab technician at you. KIRK: You what? You planned that? MITCHELL: Well, you wanted me to think, didn't you? I outlined her whole campaign for her. KIRK: I almost married her! So nothing has been set down in canon, but it works almost perfect if they were talking about Carol Marcus. Live long and prosper! 🖖

Missing the only woman he truly loved. Another adventure on the Enterprise and despite losing his best friend and he feels young and alive again.

@@outtheredude Considering that Star Trek TOS and the TOS movies take place in the 23rd century, one would think birth control would have been perfected by then. Perhaps Carol Marcus bypassed birth control to get pregnant in order to trap Kirk, but her plan failed. There is a TOS episode, The Paradise Syndrome, in which Kirk fathers another child, but the unborn child and its mother, Miramanee, are killed by stoning. In the episode, Kirk married Miramanee. She is the only woman Kirk ever married. Note that the society on the planet where Kirk and Miramanee live together is primitive so they probably had no reliable method of birth control.

I personally don't think Star Trek indulges in that as much as it should. It's not the first time here. In The Doomsday Machine, the Constellation had her own leitmotif. In the Fleet Museum scene every ship that was shown played a little bit of that show's theme song. I feel like every ship in the fleet has her own theme song in there. I would imagine that Reliant's as depicted with Khan in command is a dark reprise of her normal theme.

The moment after the first battle where Scotty shows up on the bridge with the body of the young crewman in his arms was supposed to hit even harder. There's some cut dialogue during Kirk's inspection that revealed that the young man was Scotty's nephew, and Scotty was incredibly proud that he'd made the cut to serve his training cruise on the Enterprise to learn under him. It was cut for pacing, but would have added so much more context.

@hawkmaster381 Месяц назад

There’s a story behind the moment where Kirk says to Spock: “Aren’t you dead?” Back before this movie came out, they tried to keep Spock’s death a secret but it leaked out. The fans went absolutely NUTS and complained en masse to Paramount. So, as a way to throw water on the anger and fool fans in the theaters, they put that “Aren’t you dead” comment in the beginning. When fans saw that, they breathed a sigh of relief thinking that was where the rumor came from. But it was only a distraction from the director. Spock died anyway at the end. It was a clever ploy, and fans became incensed! I remember it well.

I got to see it in theaters a little while ago at a 40th anniversary screening.

A noticeable continuity error in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is that the character of Pavel Chekhov (Walter Koenig) was not yet on the original Star Trek series during season 1 when the Enterprise encountered Khan and his crew. Chekhov would not join the cast until season 2, so there was no way that Khan would have recognized him, or that Chekhov would have known who Khan was.

The novelization of Wrath of Khan explains that Chekhov was there, working at night. He was devastated when she left with Khan, having a crush on her. And the cadet who died was Scotty's nephew, which is in the extended version of WofK.

@Blazingstoke Месяц назад

Ironically, the writers were saved by _another_ continuity error: early episodes of _Star Trek_ were inconsistent with the stardate numbering, so a couple season two episodes featuring Chekhov actually take place _before_ "Space Seed". Consquently, we can assume Chekhov was already a part of the crew, it just wasn't his shift on the bridge during that episode.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan featured one of the earliest CGI effects in cinema. The Project Genesis video that features a dead planet being transformed into a living planet was entirely CGI. TRON would be released a month later which would push CGI effects even further. This was not, however, the first use of CGI in film. That would be Michael Crichton's Westworld in 1973 which featured the first use of CGI with Yul Brynner's android gunfighter having electronic eye vision.

Man, I was blown away by the Genesis video when I first saw the movie. Considering the constraints they were working under, it's a real work of art. So much early (and even not-so-early) CGI is a bit embarrassing to watch today, but this still works great in context.

@erikbjelke4411 23 дня назад

23:24: "He read Moby-Dick, but he didn't understand it." I'd argue Khan understood it perfectly. But, as Emily said, "he thinks everybody's dumber'n him." OBVIOUSLY Khan isn't going to make the same mistakes Ahab did, Khan's WAY too smart for that. And even if things do turn against him, CLEARLY he's smart enough to find a solution right away! He's a superior being, there's NO WAY he's susceptible the same foibles as an old, inferior human. Naturally, HIS quest for revenge will turn out exactly like he expects it to, because he's better than everyone else. At least, that's what I imagine Khan's thought process looking like.

I remember the original TV trailers for Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. The studio did a terrible job of not letting spoilers leak about Spock's death. By the time the film came out, nearly everyone knew that Spock would die. Also, the trailers deliberately concealed the U.S.S. Reliant, perhaps wanting to keep Khan's ship a mystery, or thinking that audiences might not react well to the new starship design.

I was eleven years old when I saw this movie at the theatres... I'd spent my childhood afternoons watching the re-runs of original Star Trek series over & over on TV and these characters were my sci-fi "family"... I saw Star Trek: The Motion Picture in theatres and while I was too young to appreciate the "hard sci-fi" story it was telling, it was great to see my family on the screen again on a new adventure. Then THIS movie released... I was still high from the space opera of Star Wars ... I was completely nutty over "space-shit" with lasers and battles in space. So this played RIGHT into my wheel-house. I was just glued to my seat. And then... then ... OMG, Spock!!! Y'all have to remember, this was WAY before the internet. This was WAY before I really had any ear to the ground and knew about the stories going around Hollywood ... I didn't know any of the backstage rumors and studio talk ... as far my eleven year old self knew ... they just KILLED OFF one of my favorite childhood heroes. I didn't know if we were going to be getting any further sequels ... I didn't know if the actor was just DONE with the role entirely or what. I had **NEVER** felt tears welling up in my eyes before this moment at the movie theatre. I was a MAN. I didn't cry at the movies. I didn't cry when Travis had to put down Old Yeller. I didn't cry when Bambi's mother died. I didn't cry when Dumbo's mom reached out of the trailer to cuddle her baby and rock him to sleep. I was a stone cold icicles in my vein kinda guy... but THIS... THIS movie had me tearing up and wiping my eyes.

Khan Noonien Singh was first introduced in the Star Trek season 1 episode, Space Seed. The script originally featured a group of genetically engineered super humans who were similar to Vikings, but the character of Khan was later changed to a middle eastern character who was the principal figure in the Eugenics Wars of the late 20th century. Kahn and his people lost and fled the planet Earth in the S.S. Botany Bay, and remained frozen in hibernation until they were picked up by the U.S.S. Enterprise in the 23rd century, where Khan attempted to hijack Kirk's ship until Kirk and his crew overcame Khan and exiled them to Seti-Alpha V.

According to Leonard Nimoy, Spock's death was not his idea at all. He was contacted by the producers, who _offered_ him "a beautiful death scene". He was intrigued and asked to hear more. Contrary to what a lot of people have assumed for years, Nimoy did not hate the character and never sought to be rid of him. He just didn't want to be typecast, which is why he titled his first autobiography, "I Am Not Spock". But people heard the title and leaped to the assumption that he didn't like the character. His adamant denial is why he titled his later book "I Am Spock".

The "wild s**t" CGI in the Project Genesis demonstration was created by the early form of REYES, which became the lynchpin of Pixar's internal rendering software for Toy Story, and most of their earlier films up to the mid 2010s. At the time Wrath of Khan was made it was being developed at a division of Lucasfilm called the 'Computer Graphics Research Group', which was later spun out into Pixar. The Project Genesis demonstration CGI was the first time REYES was used in a feature film.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan featured the music of James Horner, replacing Jerry Goldsmith, who had done the music for Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Horner had previously worked on movies like Humanoids from the Deep, Wolfen, and Battle Beyond the Stars. Horner would also do the music for films such as 48 Hrs., Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, Cocoon, Commando, Aliens (which earned him his first Oscar nomination for Best Original Score), Field of Dreams, Glory, Braveheart, Apollo 13, Titanic (which won him the Oscar for Best Original Score), A Beautiful Mind, and Avatar. Horner sadly passed away in 2015.

There was some extra scenes for the TV release of the film, that there was a ladder climbing scene where Kirk tells Spock that was his son he beamed up with, and another where Scotty mentioned after the engineer died about his mother being proud of him, and that in the original script that was Scotty's nephew. And let's not forget the TNG episode where it featured both Merritt Butrick and Judson Scott. Though Judson Scott does not get his name in the credits in this film, something about trying to get top billing and it backfired on him.

Another bit of trivia. They didn't know whether or not they were going to do a part three, so they told Nimoy to do something ambiguous that they could retroactively use if they decided to do another sequel. So he improvised the mind-meld and "remember" line with Kelly. Not to spoil anything, but the writers made major use of that little improv moment when it came to part three.

There's a video on this site of Ricardo Montalbán talking about this role. His first scenes sounded to him like Mr. Roarke and he was afraid the audience would not believe him as the villain. After rewatching the episode Space Seed a bunch of times he decided to play Khan as terribly passionate over the death of his wife. Nicholas Meyer, the director, helped him play up that passion just to a certain point, beyond which it would become parody.

I seen wrath of Kahn in the theater when I was 8 years old. I was younger when I seen star trek the motion picture. I didn't understand star trek the motion picture because I was young.

When I was older and read the novelization of star trek the motion picture to understand it better, I loved it a lot more.
