Greg Cox wrote a book explaining the planet thing, that the "Reliant" came from another arm of the Ceti System and thus mistook the remains of Ceti Alpha VI for an astreoid belt nearby. It's also said that the whole Khan thing was ultra-top-secret so Chekov was prevented from talking to anyone about them having a great dictator marooned in the system.
As a kid I was always fighting with my older sister about Trek and SF, she always found that stuff totaly ridiculous. But then I dragged her into this movie (parents did not allow me to go alone and ordered her to take me with her) - she cried like a baby when Spock died, and ever since she became a great Trek and SF fan.
You know, Khan didn't have to take over the Enterprise. He was treated with hospitality, so maybe Kirk could've hooked him up with a ship, or recommend him to Starfleet. I guess that would've been to long and difficult for Khan, though.
For a fan you are dumb. You made over 20 mistakes in just the first 3 Minutes of this video. The most obvious is “Newly promoted Kirk”. Kirk was an Admiral (2 & 1/2 years) in The Motion Picture his demotion to Captain was only a formality just like Captain Decker’s demotion.
@JamesNintendoNerd...... Jimmy baby,from one trekie to another let me just say it is perfectly feasable that Star Fleet might not be aware of a planet shifting orbit some where. As Lt.Uhura once said to Scott when they were trying to locate a missing Kirk and Spock and had no idea where they were: "It's an aweful big universe Mr. Scott!"...To which Scotty replies after a short pause......."I".
Spocks death is key because it plays to the other theme of the film. The no win game, but more important its also how Khan gets his revenge on Kirk. I've done far worse then kill you, I've hurt you... Thats what he wanted and thats what he got with Spock. Its the best and sadist part of the movie on my opinion.
The machinery and computer graphics responsible for showing off the effects of Genesis was made by Pixar, BTW. Or at least the guys who eventually became Pixar.
What I don't get is that Trekkies always bitch about the coincidences in the new movie, but their cool with Chekov just happening to land on the same planet as Khan.
I love Star Trek II, but it's not my favorite. The Chekhov issue is part of that-- but I'd also point out that Khan always comes off like a complete idiot. Grabbing people by the throat and yelling... but never using his "supposedly" genius-level intelligence.
Well, Kirk is the decision maker and gutsy one in the three. Kinda look at this way, the three make the body of one captain. Kirk is the spine and guts, the gutsy and strong headed one. Spock is the brains; with his logic and intelligence. Where is McCoy brings humanistic emotion and altruistic meanings, he's the heart.
@Bartman954 Nice :) I never looked at it that way until you pointed it out. I like to compare the three main characters with the three primary colours of the light spectrum.
Well, I think I've said it before, but I've never watched a star trek movie, also I do know the Spock character almost as good as watching the movie... Didn't know he died though...
Mark Arandjus Yes, great theme for the Kirk / Khan conflict. Also, Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities. "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times", the first line in the book. Kirk / Spock. “ It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known. " The last line in the book, and in ST II, a parallel at the end.
Does anyone know if the Star Trek: Animated Series has been uploaded, because this is really the first time I have heard of it and I am kinda courious to see what its like.
When I was in the star trek convention this year they had a quiz game and there was only me and someone else left. The question was "did khan take over the ship reliant" andi said yes, but it turned out it was the defiant :(
I know this was a while ago, but if you're interested, there was something put out in a few of the books saying that Chekov was just an ensine assigned to the lower decks when Khan was aboard.
The actor himself has a theory that Chekov actually made Khan wait an exeedingly long time to go to the bathroom, only to came out ten minuites later to say "Sorry, the toilet's jammed. You'll have to use one on another deck".
It's probably not true, but it just adds some menace to the enteragation scene.
HAHAHA!! LOL for the end...!! When the "evil" Captain Kirk looks into a moniter, and (of course an add on of the small (alternate) James Tiberius Kirk shown with the "robo" type cop), then the Kirk says....."I'am Captain Kirk.........I'am Captain Kirk............I'AM CAPTAIN KIRRRRK!!!!"
Since we're mentioning Moby Dick we might as well mention that Khan quotes Captain Ahab in the movie. Y'know the whole from 'Hell's heart I stab at thee' speech.
Weird, I remember being a kid seeing one of those ear slugs crawling out of some dudes head and thought it was La Forge from TNG. Turns out it was actually a ST2 Wrath of Kahn scene. Just remembered I also had a big air up plastic Enterprise that was one of my favorite toys. Those were the days.
Hey I am just getting into Star Trek and I know one thing, I am gonna like I and V, but II probably not so much, I think it totaly devalues and ruins the open ending of Spae Seed, and I love thw crazy plots and effects of I and VA,atleast from what I saw in reviews and trailers. But than again I probably don`t know what I am talking about.
The Motion Picture was good as its own movie, but hardly ties in well enough with the other films. It's just too different comparitively speaking. The Trilogy as he puts it, is still my favorite framework for Star Trek.
the prob witn the first movie was that they didnt acknowledge the aging of any of the characters, and used a script that was developed for the return of a star trek series
@ JamesNintendoNerd I laugh so hard I cryed when you said Star Trek 2 is like Street Fighter 2 no one gives a shit about the first one. And I just bought the Star Trek Trilogy on Blue Ray just awesome.
Kirk was an Admiral in the first Star Trek film and he did a different job in Star Trek 1 than in Star Trek 2. Guess he was able to move jobs when ever he wanted too. I also find it interesteing that there's a second five year mission between Star Trek's 1 and 2. I wish someone would inform us about the five or so years between the first and second films.
well, a double jackass on you! Besides, why is it a problem? It didn't affect the pacing of this review, and it was interesting to see him cover "Star Trek: The Motion Picture", thank you very much.
Actually, there is a book that tries to explain how Starfleet classified the whole Khan thing and Chekov was under orders to keep quiet and they just didn't want to bother checking on him afterward so missed the moon exploding.
I've got everything but the new movie, I didn't care for it. However if Abrams 2nd movie has Khan in it (and I have heard it might) and it is done well, I may pick up both of them. Other wise I won't bother.
"Generations" ("Star Trek 7" to you noobs out there) is the best one. It's a meeting between Jim Kirk and Jean-Luc Picard, so it's two captains for the price of one!!!
My take on the ST movies: I: Bad II: Great III: Good IV: Good V: Haven't seen VI: Great VII: Good VIII: Great IX: Haven't Seen X: Haven't Seen XI: Great
Walter Koenig has surmised that perhaps Chekov was a member of the crew, but just happened to never be shown in the first season; he jokes that maybe an off-duty Chekov accidentally caused Khan to wait uncomfortably long to get to the men's room, leaving a particularly indelible impression.
@dvarblo Easily explained. His wife, Lt. Marla McGivers, was a Starfleet officer and was exposed to all sorts of different culture while serving on the Enterprise before being exiled with the Botany Bay crew on Ceti Alpha V. She could've taught Khan that proverb before she passed away.
I loved the trilogy, of course. But I loved ST:TMP just as much. And so you merely dismissing it is just not right. In any case, what is this? Star Trek for retards?
I don't think it was a risk. They obviously knew that another movie was coming, and even had the script written out (roughly at least), since we see Spock do the mind thingy with McCoy. Literary LawOfConservationOfDetail, that scene would not be there with no reason. And that reason is not explored in WoK.
Supposedly, the computer effects on the that simulation of the Genesis's effects was done by Pixar... Or at least the guys who would form Pixar later on after this movie.
wollte nur mal anmerken das die übersetzung ne gute idee ist allerdings sollte youtube dringend daran arbeiten denn das kauderwelsch versteht ja kein Mensch. Englisch-Deutsch 1 zu 1 übersetzt und Teilweise mit genau den falschen Vokabeln bei mehreren bedeutungen eines wortes. Schade aber die idee is klasse
I once liked ST II, but then I got sick of it. It got so hyped as the best Trek movie ever that they would play it over and over ad nauseum on TV. It got to the point where I was like, "Dang, there's other Star Trek movies out there too that you can play."
The only reason Spock died is because Nimoy felt typecast and didn't want to play the role any more (this is around when he wrote "I Am Not Spock"?). Of course then they had to write a script to bring Spock back after Nimoy changed his mind.
Wrath of Khan is without question the best Star Trek film. Even with the Chekov bloopers. :) Oh and Spock died because Nimoy didn't want to be a part of the film because he like everyone else thought the first film was AWFUL. Then the powers that be realized that ST is not ST without Spock and told Nimoy he could direct the third film. He also directed the fourth film. Also, anyone notice how his name isn't in the opening credits in ST3? Tricky. Anyway, great video. The ending was great
So was wondering, if they make a Star Trek movie (and there is as many of you already know a sequel in the works) with the new cast (Chris Pine,Zachary Quinto etc) and they decide to put the Khan character in the movie what actor should play him? Of course the original actor Ricardo Montlebaun is out since he's dead.
One rumor I heard was that Dwayne The Rock Johnson was interested in Playing Khan. He does have a good build, and I liked him in The Scorpion King. But I'm sure he could play Khan.
lol i'ts funny, especially how someone bought the webspace and it's been up for like ten yrs now lol, almost as cool as Zombo(dot)com lol which makes no sense lol...
and the thing about chekov not even being on the series before space seed, wow... and the slugs going in people's ears to control them sounds like animorphs!
ST 3 was awesome. I always been a Star Wars fan but throughout the years I have grown to like Star Trek and by far the Wrath of Khan is one of my all time favorite. Great Review!!!
I have to disagree here. I thought The Motion Picture was the best one. That slow, meticulous artistry similar to 2001 ASO is exactly what I like about it. I think it's pretty shortsighted to just act like it never existed. That should be applied to every ST movie made since IV. They were wretched, particularly TNG films. I still don't understand how such a great series can't make a decent film.
I thought the new ST movie was decent. Not good or bad.

Walter Koenig has surmised that perhaps Chekov was a member of the crew, but just happened to never be shown in the first season; he jokes that maybe an off-duty Chekov accidentally caused Khan to wait uncomfortably long to get to the men's room, leaving a particularly indelible impression.

you forgot the fact that khan quotes a klingon proverb ' revenge is a dish that is best served cold...and it is very cold in space'
How did Khan know anything at all about klingons and thier culture! NITPICK LOL.

@dvarblo Easily explained. His wife, Lt. Marla McGivers, was a Starfleet officer and was exposed to all sorts of different culture while serving on the Enterprise before being exiled with the Botany Bay crew on Ceti Alpha V. She could've taught Khan that proverb before she passed away.

I loved the trilogy, of course. But I loved ST:TMP just as much. And so you merely dismissing it is just not right. In any case, what is this? Star Trek for retards?

I don't think it was a risk. They obviously knew that another movie was coming, and even had the script written out (roughly at least), since we see Spock do the mind thingy with McCoy. Literary LawOfConservationOfDetail, that scene would not be there with no reason. And that reason is not explored in WoK.

Your commentary is a bore. I agree with you but who cares what you think?
And your ST-TMP comments reveal a Lucas/Speilberg fan. Enjoy Tin Tin!

Supposedly, the computer effects on the that simulation of the Genesis's effects was done by Pixar... Or at least the guys who would form Pixar later on after this movie.

wollte nur mal anmerken das die übersetzung ne gute idee ist allerdings sollte youtube dringend daran arbeiten denn das kauderwelsch versteht ja kein Mensch. Englisch-Deutsch 1 zu 1 übersetzt und Teilweise mit genau den falschen Vokabeln bei mehreren bedeutungen eines wortes. Schade aber die idee is klasse

I once liked ST II, but then I got sick of it. It got so hyped as the best Trek movie ever that they would play it over and over ad nauseum on TV. It got to the point where I was like, "Dang, there's other Star Trek movies out there too that you can play."
The only reason Spock died is because Nimoy felt typecast and didn't want to play the role any more (this is around when he wrote "I Am Not Spock"?). Of course then they had to write a script to bring Spock back after Nimoy changed his mind.

By defeating Khan, you mean beating the everlasting shit out of him with a plastic hook-thingy

Wrath of Khan is without question the best Star Trek film. Even with the Chekov bloopers. :) Oh and Spock died because Nimoy didn't want to be a part of the film because he like everyone else thought the first film was AWFUL. Then the powers that be realized that ST is not ST without Spock and told Nimoy he could direct the third film. He also directed the fourth film. Also, anyone notice how his name isn't in the opening credits in ST3? Tricky. Anyway, great video. The ending was great

So was wondering, if they make a Star Trek movie (and there is as many of you already know a sequel in the works) with the new cast (Chris Pine,Zachary Quinto etc) and they decide to put the Khan character in the movie what actor should play him? Of course the original actor Ricardo Montlebaun is out since he's dead.

One rumor I heard was that Dwayne The Rock Johnson was interested in Playing Khan. He does have a good build, and I liked him in The Scorpion King. But I'm sure he could play Khan.

Spock dies because Kirk has never faced defeat before, it comes with getting older, or some shit like that, its not that hard to figure out.

I have to disagree here. I thought The Motion Picture was the best one. That slow, meticulous artistry similar to 2001 ASO is exactly what I like about it. I think it's pretty shortsighted to just act like it never existed. That should be applied to every ST movie made since IV. They were wretched, particularly TNG films. I still don't understand how such a great series can't make a decent film.
I thought the new ST movie was decent. Not good or bad.
