STAR TREK The Klingon Incident (1973)

[aatragon]

This is seriously cool....Well done guys.

[redbeardsoutpost]

You guys did a great job! Thanks for posting this. If I read you right, you did this in 1973? I was ten, and a huge fan of Star Trek and the animated series too.

[CatspitProductions]

Kick ass Kirk tosses in the action fight. This was very well done. ☠

[Ontir]

There is some great stuff in here. I love the theme on the organ and the SFX are actually pretty close to a lot of anime. It has a feel somewhere between Doctor Who & La Jetee.

[athompson7]

Great stuff!

[subron6er]

I like it, very creative, Gene Rodenberry's ghost

[greenslashpurple]

I meant classic.

[greenslashpurple]

C,ass

[Cerebralcinema]

It must have been casual dress day on the Enterprise.

[Cerebralcinema]

Before there was Youtube there was Boobtube. :^ )

[emmtemma123]

Where are the two "no names" that always beem down to the planet, never to return?

[ewaf88]

Great stuff - far more creativity than most of season 3 (and probably a bigger budget too)

[Xonx68]

Holy crap this is friggin' awesome! This is a real gem, mister. THIS was Youtube before there was Youtube!

Thanks for sharing! :D

[ClarkSavageJr]

This was a-mazing. When my best friend and I played "Star Trek", not more than a few years removed from this movie actually, I'm sure we looked and sounded almost exactly like you guys. Thank you SO MUCH for my awkward, pre-adolescent memories (not a snark, honest...this was beautiful). NERDS RULE!

[composerdoh]

This is really clever use of the limitations of your equipment! Nice job!

[jimbobubbadj]

Cool! *****

[davidjradich]

Better than the piece of shit JJ Abrams made.

[GeorgeKayaian]

I love the fact that this Trek adventure was made so long ago! It seems to me that it was made with a lot of love and respect for the Trek material. A fun blast from the past!

[Capt777harris]

ROFL!

[mrtrek64]

Fantastic!!!!!!!! I hope everyone can appreciate what it took to create a piece like this. Nicely done!!

[markhand58]

Wow, I remember seeing this back in those days, it was amazing you could make it so good with the available tools. GREAT JOB ! Glad to see it survived all these years. - Mark Hand

[carnivalofsouls2047]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[DocLeggz]

LOL, cute!

[malcorly]

omg

[CSpanAddict1982]

These guys went on to create Windows and Mac OS

[THEmattpatt]

are there any other lost films?

[depo4]

To steal from a popular quote: Ask and you shall receive! Thank's for all the great comments. I just uploaded another serious project, (as serious as we could be at 14), which was never completed, but is still good for a few laughs called 'The Perfect Hijack'.

[pheelynngroovy]

Thirdly, but certainly not "lastly", everything I ever needed to know came from watching Classic Star Trek (TOS). Bravo, gentlemen! 1973 --- whatta year!

[Flasoo8]

Love the transporter effect!

[madcapromanian]

This is so anti-prime directive. The klingon punches you on the planet...so let's condem the entire ship to death. - Just bugging....it was great!

[madcapromanian]

Now...you need the "enhanced" version with CGI, etc! - Just kidding! Great work!

[sfzapgun]

Very entertaining! A real early fan film. You guys did great! Btw, how much did the whole production cost?

[wmb001]

Those poor Klingons. They never had a chance. And really nice job of first aid at 5:05.

[Pallindrom27]

This was like "Hardware Wars" with NO budget!

Did Mike from Indiana abandon his film-making aspirations?

[depo4]

Mike, who is the brain behind this movie, is a talented musician, (keyboards, guitars, trumpet, & sax). He works a day job when he's not Rockin' & Rollin'. Thank's for the question!

[PhoenixArisen333]

hahahahahahhahahaha........ that was freaking sweet. Kirk wore glasses. Loved this home made vid. I would have been 5 when it was made. Great work...thanks for sharing.

[JayEey]

Is this the trailer for the new film?

[nerdStarwars]

This is the greatest thing i have ever seen, you guys are my hero's.

[tdogatl]

teh hotness.

what more could the young ladies of Indiana possibly have wanted?

But seriously- great job.

I could only _wish_ I was that creative a decade and a half later.

[DMaustrap]

LOL LOVED IT!!! Christ guys id hire you on the spot and fire that star trek hating J.J.Abrams. At least you guys know what to do without a low budget.

Great work.

[Dunaldango]

hæhæhæhæhæhæ. i loved the end

[fizziwig88]

This is outstanding!!!!!!!

[VictorLepanto]

"Destroy them immediately!" That's what made Kirk such a great capt., "Kill them all, let God sort them out."

But seriously, you guys didn't get many dates in high school did you?

[Zenutheduck]

The first Trek fan film ever done? Cool stuff.

[SeansCafe]

I love it!

[roloman0012]

good job,my fav bit was at 2:23 i fucking felt that bang on the head hahahaha startrek forever lol

[jediyves]

Was this really shot in the 70's?

[depo4]

Thank's for all the great comments! The film was shot in 1973.

[Holdenon3]

Yep, the hand-to-hand combat scene had all of Kirk's classic moves. Except for the glasses, of course. ;-)

[wubuhbuh]

Cute Clever and Cheesy but very cute.

[creton4]

That took some work! Nicely done.

[fred30680]

Today we have all this high tech video equipment, every thing from video cameras to editing software. Most likely better than what they had when Star Trek was made. Yet today people lack imagination. This video is really good.

[Chuck1701]

I especially like the part where the tall dark man and the school cafeteria lunch lady beam down!

[helenofirvine]

This is so cute! So glad you shared!

[shukym]

Cool!

[lmommsen]

Damn! These guys stole our idea... which we were never able to realize what with our 8mm soundless windup film camera in 1977... Made a few fly-by shots of the ships though. Good Job!!

[FabianTrahan]

That was a true classic! Kudos to Bob Patterson and his crew!

[odysseyjbb]

These guys had the characters down pat! Kirk was right on target, with his judo flip, kicking of the phaser out of the Klingon's hand, even down to his handling of the communicator. As for the FX, great for 1973, but Im the guy who thinks that the original series FX are better in may ways from the rest of the spin offs. :-)

[UncleLew]

THIS ROCKED! Reminded me of playing Star Trek in my back yard round the same era!

LOVED the transporter console!

[WilberWisdom]

That was great! Thanks for sharing that.

[zombieddie73]

That was nice to watch,very well done considering when it was made!! I loved the beam up !!

[Cosmoline]

Classic! "Kirk" there even had the patent judo flip down.

[simontam777]

Star trek geeks of 1973. Scary!

[Wilnan1]

I love it!

[MntrTodd]

I love the loop-de-loop the Enterprise does at the beginning!

I guess it was casual Friday for the landing party?

[redbeardsoutpost]

Yeah, well done for the 1970's!!! But boy, what a Klingon incident--how did you ever explain the destruction of it to Starfleet or the Klingon Empire?

Just joking, great video five stars? No, TEN!

[MontyPropps]

Crude as hell, but fantastic :)

[albion432]

Wow! What a fun video clip! Vintage fan film!!

[spikeontario]

excellent homemade movie!! I made one in the 80s...it's amazing what kind of impact Star Trek continues to make 40 years after it was on the air.

[gardeostro]

You have to give these kids credit for this homemade film! Not an easy thing to do with just a 8mm camera and some cardboard! I think that it is very creative!

[depo4]

Thankyou for your comment. Though Vulcans shouldn't feel pain: After filming, I distinctly remember the sensation of Captain Kirk yanking off my pointed ears, which were attached with model airplane glue... Lend me your ear, indeed.
