Clip 1 from "Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan"

[theemrpoint123]

Where's the owerride? THE OWERRIDE?!

[cincstarfleet]

First you quoted Shatner, now you're quoting me; you really are desperate for material aren't you? As I recall, you started this argument. You decided to pick on Star Trek fans, knowing that they're normally non-aggressive people and you went online to do it so you didn't have to look in their faces. I don't need to be lectured about insecurity, least of all by a timid, cowardly, violence-for-pleasure seeking Rambo fan.

[peterp21]

An example of great filmmaking, period. Especially when you include the earlier parts of this scene (approaching the Reliant, the attack itself). It's the music, the tension, the hopelessness after Enterprise is utterly neutralized, the shock when Khan appears. The cleverness of Kirk's counter-attack. Editing, understanding of the characters, scriptwise, etc. This was some tight filmmaking.

[wilde1]

This movie is so damn good.

[MrLorenzovanmatterho]

James T Kirks finest hour! (and he's had some sweet ones)

[cbaile]

"Sir, our shields are dropping."

"Raise them!"

"I CAN'T!"

One of my all-time favorite scenes from anything.

[BigNick419andholding]

0:09 to 0:13 Kirk is all like "Arrogant asshole. You won't be so smug in a few seconds..." EPIC. Best Star Trek movie there ever was, or ever will be.

[jhunter1163]

Why didn't Kirk open up with photon torpedoes and finish the job? Silly me, there would have been no movie then.

[cincstarfleet]

It took Khan how many shots to bring down the Enterprise? Five, maybe six? Yeah, Kirk did nearly the same job with TWO, and his phasers weren't even at full power.

[whitemanstand72]

@cincstarfleet yeah let me see you going up against a real khan and see how you would survive...relying on a movie won't get you far in life !

GET A LIFE .- Shatner

[cincstarfleet]

@whitemanstand72 Imagine that, a You Tube troll lecturing a Star Trek fan on the need to get a life, and quoting William Shatner to do it. I advise you to practice what you preach, as shit-slinging is the greatest hallmark of the truly insecure.

[whitemanstand72]

@cincstarfleet Really is the shit-slinging is what you are doing just then ?

I know you are in the "greatest hallmark of the truly insecure."

[cincstarfleet]

Khan's arrogant presumption really bit him in the ass here. He somehow convinced himself that his 'genetically engineered intellect' could possibly out-match the most experienced, most highly decorated commanding officer in Starfleet history. Sure as shit, when he was finished grand-standing, Kirk slung around and flushed his "superior intellect" straight down the toilet. Awesome! 

[donboy65]

Is it OK if I borrow this? I want to make a movie with it.

[happygocarts]

THIS IS CETI ALPHA 5!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cookieDaXapper]

"botany bay;..... BOTANY BAY?"

[dixievfd55]

They say those codes were there to prevent Enterprise from lowering Reliant's shields. It would seem those codes would have been there to make retrieval of stolen Federation vessels easier.

[LunarVenusian]

What doesn't add up is that Khan would have known something was going on as they would have been able to detect Enterprise locking phasers on them, as Enterprise had detected Reliant locking phasers on them a few minutes before?

[Sulaco516]

Khan thought, upon realizing that the shields have been deactivated by remote "I've been tricked!"

[WiseGuy5674]

The Reliant should have rammed her!

[patsfreak]

OMGWTFHAX!!!!!

1980's style

[danivarius]

Thats what I thought - why not target the bridge? Even damaged, the Enterprise still caused quite a lot of damage - just look how the phasers blew out the deflection crystal on the link between the Reliant's intermix chamber (i.e. warp core) and the impulse engines!

[wildone106]

@danivarius Because Kirk didn't want to murder them, but neutralize the threat and have them captured and hopefully not destroy the Reliant which was a fed asset of course.

[LordBifford]

@danivarius Always bugged me why Starfleet likes to put its bridge on such an exposed position.

[stupidjunk878]

Where is Hans Solo?

[sockbucket]

@stupidjunk878

This is Star Trek. Not Starwars. Moron.

[commandox20]

My ONLY complaint with this scene now that I think about it...

Why in Hell didnt sulu take out the bridge?

[tovette]

because Kirk didn't order him to fire there. And also, it wasn't in the script :p

[busss64]

It guess the bridge is quite heavily armored as well :) Also, if the shot wasn't efficient enough, Khan or its crew could return fire from another place...

:p

[althom01]

but kirk did severly crippled the reilant by breaking off the port nacelle and damaging the roll bar

[lexington1709]

@commandox20 Tactically, it would not make sense to attack the bridge. All Federation starships have a battle bridge and it would be safe to assume that Khan had people there to continue the battle. Best to knock out Reliant's weapons and propulsion. Good tactical thinking by Sulu.

[Silence233]

I love the "Oh Fuck" look on Khan's face XD

[cincstarfleet]

@Silence233 The best part is, the datalink was still open during that shot. You can actually see Kirk saying "fire" through a tiny grin.

[brent1125]

pwned

[JanesCalamity]

Poor Joachim. He's the only one with common sense on Khan's ship. He tries to talk sense into him but it's no use.

[Will87]

He's apparently the only one who can speak besides Khan too!

[JanesCalamity]

I know! Wonder if Khan ripped out their tongues for disobedience at one time.

I guess they didn't want anybody to get too attached to any of the characters on the "bad guy" ship.

[boyinthedrain]

Or I wonder if they had to pay the other ones less if they had no lines.

Poor Joachim. The dude's agent played hardball with HArve Bennett and they removed his name from the credits

[warszawianka]

Best Trek film ever.

[ZylonBane]

Ahh, Wrath of Khan. Blows the crap out of the awful shaky-cam lens-flare battles from the new Star Trek movie.

[g187]

fire, fire!!!!!!!!

[lobsterworm]

I like to pretend Khan and his people are my evil ex-girlfriend Ashley and her redneck buddies and I'm Captain Kirk.

[unMotivator]

That was entertaining to read. I couldn't help but crack up at someone pretending to be Captain Kirk.^^

Thank you.

[Ewokki]

audio so out of sync and this wasn't even a good part of the fight

[gucker07]

Excellent scene!

[Spyderblade001]

ceti alpha 5

[robbypalooza]

what ever happened to tatu?...

[abomb123456789]

He's marooned on Seti-Alpha whatever... buried alive! buried alive!

[retro38]

great comment! LOL!

[TheManiacOnWheelsUSA]

Tattoo (real name: Herve Velechez) committed suicide some years ago.

[ColbertForever06]

A damn good scene from TWOK!!! Audio goes out of sync towards the end, though.
