Star Trek Generations Deleted Scene 1: Sky Dive

The original opening to the movie was not just the simply champagne bottle tumbling through space as seen in the theatrical release. Originally, the bottle would have been inter-cut with shots of Chekov and Scotty looking for something in the sky. As the scene progresses, we learn that they are looking for Captain Kirk who is orbital skydiving. When he lands, Chekov reminds him that the three of them are scheduled to attend the christening ceremony for the Enterprise-B the day after, to which Kirk replies, he's not attending. The champagne bottle smashes against the ship and the movie progresses as normal with all three in attendance. This scene is also available on the Special Edition DVD.

wow i wish they could have added this in. too bad they cant just to an extended version of this movie with all these deleted scenes added back in

news of this scene hit the fan network very early, as the studio thought we'd all be anxious to see it. It got laughed out of the movie. In the end, it was fine, but no one had ever seen it and we just thought, "bill shatner sky diving? Only if he lands in a buffet."

I like seeing this scene, but I think taking it out was a good call. Wouldn't have mixed very well with the rest of the opening. But that is just my opinion of course.

Does anyone know who decided to take this one out?

I've heard about this scene, but have never seen it until now. Thanks for posting it.

Would have been the best scene of the movie.

Best quality version of this that I have seen. Thanks for upload.

I have the comic book, and in this scene, the Chekov part was clearly written for Spok, and the Scotty part was for McCoy. Unfortunately, Leonard Nimoy refused to work in this film, and Deforest Kelley had a very delicate health :(

In the Enterprise scenes, the parts starts the same, but when they fall in the nexus, they are inverted, with Scotty interpreting the Spok's part, and Chekov the McCoy's part.

Kirk shouldn't have gone :)

Fascinating. ;-)

Didn't know that. Neat. Think they must have re-used that orbital skydive idea for the altquel Trek reboot too.
