Factoid: Ricardo Montalban volunteered to discount his salary to 100K so the film's budget could accommodate all the expensive FX features it needed. He enjoyed playing Khan so much the role wasn't about money for him.
-
Whether you’re a Trekkie or not, I honestly believe this is one of the best movies ever made, an absolute masterpiece.
-
That epic score! R.I.P. James Horner. legend
-
Even after 40yrs this sequence raises the hairs on the back of my neck. And Kirks "here it comes" line so dryly delivered....just greatness.
-
This is how you create drama. Instead of keeping secrets from the audience to try to surprise them, keep secrets from the characters to build the tension.
-
Let’s not overlook the main lesson here: The entire event could’ve been avoided had Kirk simply raised the shields like regulations stated. Saavik was right. 😐
-
Hard to believe Kirstie Allie is gone now. Love this movie.
-
By today's standards, this was filmed on a ridiculously small budget, yet it is widely regarded as the best Star Trek film ever made. There is a lesson to be learned here!
-
Khan's crew looks like a 80s rock band.
-
The best Star Trek movie ever. I found out recently that Ricardo shot all his footage in a totally different sound stage due to his Fantasy Island schedule being so tight. This plus the pay cut he took (that someone else mentioned) gives me loads of respect for the man.
-
This movie is 40 years old this year....first movie I went to by myself and walked home....pure magic, favorite star trek movie by far.
-
An unsung hero is James Horner’s score through this entire scene. It’s subconsciously telling us the story without any words. One of my favourite movie scores of all time.
-
As soon as Khan took command of the Reliant he upgraded the Captain's chair with Fine Corinthian Leather ;)
-
An amazing fact is that Ricardo Montalban is saying all his lines to a script girl, he never was face to face with William Shatner in a single scene.
-
My favourite scene from this film is Kirk’s eulogy for Spock: “Of my friend, I can only say this. Of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most human.” Shatner’s voice breaking in the last phrase was acting perfection.
-
This movie single-handedly saved the franchise
-
The music to this scene is incredible
-
Still the best of all Star Trek movies. Sorry J.J but this is the real Khan.
-
When I watched this scene for the first time in a packed theater, everyone went nuts. It was an awesome moment.
-
Montalban was underrated as an actor, he was magnificent here.
