So I am not a Trekkie by any stretch. I know next to nothing of Star Trek, but during the lock down I decided to watch this movie. Man it blew me away! Such a well made movie and boy did I love every second of it even though I know nothing about this Lore and Franchise. Well made film!! Ricardo Montalban is phenomenal as Khan. I loved the turned of this film and it is a masterpiece.
If you enjoyed Khan, I recommend also watching Star Trek 3 and Star Trek 4, these 3 movies are 3 parts of a bigger story. The third movie is not as good, but the fourth movie belongs to the most beloved movies of the bunch
Little factoid: Ricardo took a voluntary pay cut to play Khan. They say he could have demanded $1 million to do it. He did it for $100K. Wrath was a cash strapped production and Montalban wanted it to succeed, so he donated back most of his salary.
@@TrekkieChannel 1 was visually stunning but quite tedious. It did, however, set up the whole Admiral/Captain personal conflict for Kirk that would be further developed in 2. 4 was ... different. The setting made it feel very contemporary in a way that the other films did not. Some may like that but others may not. It certainly did well enough in the box office. It was quite entertaining and there are so many quotable lines--"Forgive me, Doctor. I am receiving a number of distress calls." "I don't doubt it." - "He? You- you came in with a she." "One little mistake" - "Are you sure it isn't time for another colorful metaphor?" (Yeah, we know which one he meant)
@@nilslindqvist8825 What really stuck me when watching this video was the 30 seconds or so that starts at the 11:30 mark. Seeing Leonard Nimoy smiling and joyfully interacting with everyone he's worked with for years was like the Spock scene we never got to see where he totally embraced his human side and expressed true love for his friends. Sure - I know at times they've given Spock some emotional moments in the show and films but never as heartwarming and caring as he appears here. That embrace he gave one of his cohorts was the most genuine emotional thing I've ever seen him do. Nimoy doing that while dressed as Spock was really moving to me for some reason. It's as if Spock truly deserved this moment after a lifetime of painful, stoic restraint.
WE WERE IN A MOVIE THEATER IN 1986 AND WHEN THE BEGINNING / INTRO STARTED ALONG WITH THE SPECIAL EFFECT SCENES THE AUDIENCE WENT INTO A ROAR OF TRIUMPH , IT WAS GOOD AS IT WAS IN 1966 - 1969 AND THE TRUTH IS WHEN YOU HAVE THE FORMULA TO CONTINUE ON YOU GET THE MOVIES !!! MAY GOD BLESS THE LIVING CAST MEMBERS & THE ONES WHO HAVE PASSED ON !!! ALIEN'S WAS GOOD , BUT COULD NOT SURPASS THE FAN BASE THAT STAR TREK CONTINUES TO BRING ABOARD !!!!!! SCOTTY FIRE 🔥!!!!!
I've seen other interviews with Nick Meyer and he said that he considers Captain Kirk to be Horatio Hornblower, so the space battles were intended to be like a 19th Century naval engagement.
In every Great Movie you need an Awesome Villain. Montalban was the Man, He was a great actor. This was the best Star Trek Movie and he's the Main reason for the Success. What I love about this movie is that he dies thinking He beat Captain Kirk.
This approach helps you believe in the characters and what is going on, so amusing take on this is having someone not terribly interested in sci-fi was the best way to get it back to been watchable to audiences.
Seeing Deforest Kelley putting his arm around Leonard Nimoy as he walked off set was so touching and bittersweet. The Wrath of Khan and IV are my favorites.
Kahn's stolen Star Ship was the USS Reliant. I found it interesting that he was as at one time a spokesman for the Chrysler Cordoba. Chrysler produced the Reliant model as well. One of his lines in the commercials was that the Cordoba had Rich Corinthian Leather. I half expected that to come up somewhere in the movie or the Blooper Real about the ship he was on.
It did. I was at a con somewhere in the Southeastern US in 1984, and at one of the late-night film viewing sessions, we were all treated to outtakes from the three movies that had been done up to that point. I vividly remember Montalban rising to his feet on the bridge of the Reliant, saying "Where is the Enterprise? Ah, there she is! With her rich Corinthian Leather!" and everybody on the set just crumbling with laughter. The entire room exploded with laughter too. And I've never managed to ever see that clip again. I suspect it was removed from circulation or destroyed based on legal action from the Chrysler Company. Too bad, it was a hilarious bit.
The thing I HATE is the "urban legend" that Ricardo and Shatner didn't like each other and they refused to work on set together. No Montalban was still in the middle of filming his ongoing ABC series, _Fantasy Island_ and could only give certain times to shoot. That was why they were never actually on set together.
Harve Bennett was right about one thing -- when I saw the original Motion Picture (the Vger movie), I was very disappointed not to hear the Alexander Courage theme music over the opening titles. Many of the cast wrote negative things about Bennett in later years, but he really had a lot to do with rescuing Star Trek after that first movie. He was brilliant to resurrect Khan from the original series for this movie.
I agree. The music set the tone (Soft - light hearted moment, Fast - depicting some action will take place, and loud bass (twinge) that becomes softer slowly for suspense). They used the music to set the audience mood without actually showing on screen yet. Brilliant.
One of the great things that Bennett did to rescue the franchise was to sideline Gene Roddenberry, whose constant objections and demands for change would have brought everything to a dead stop. He was given the title of "Executive Consultant, an office, a pen, and no path into the decision-making process. He had been subsumed by his own self-importance and a growing addiction to alcohol and narcotics.
@@thomasthomas2418 Apparently, according to a Harve Bennett interview I read (I think in one of Shatner's books), Roddenberry kept wanting to do a time travel story in which the Enterprise crew goes back to 1963 and tries to intervene in the Kennedy assassination -- he said one scenario actually had Spock firing the fatal bullet at JFK from the "grassy knoll" in order to restore the timeline after someone had earlier altered history and caused World War 3.
Interesting to hear how all the actors felt so good while making the movie, how they felt it would work. Boy were they right!! Wrath of Khan possibly the best Star Trek film.
Yes, like when I first realized Kirk was actually sleeping with the alien women. I was 13 at a friends house and Kirk was putting his boots back on after doing it with Deela (Kathy Browne). My friend said, "way to go Captain, another one!" and I was like huh.....what....wait a minute...and then Deela started brushing her hair in the mirror...oh my gosh, Kirk is sleeping with them! Future Trek script has Kirk's son coming out of the sped up universe of Scalos just to find out his real life dad has been dead for ages but the consequences of his dad's life in the slow universe are significant.
Correct. It's sad that none of the home video releases can be considered "definitive", but that's why I'm glad that private collectors exist :) And you're of course welcome
5:40 God Bless DeForest Kelley. He's the only person I've seen who can dress like Don Knotts' character Ralph Furley from Three's Company and pull it off. LOL
Leonard Nimoy's career started at the bottom "The Brain Eaters", "Zombies of the Stratosphere" etc & with hard work made himself one of the great remembered ones
I was 6 years old when this interview took place, today I'm 45 and getting older is on my mind A LOT, even more then when I was approaching 30. Wrath of Khan really makes sense to me now then it ever could as a 6 year old in 1st grade.
I love the bits from behind the scenes you see in this. Shame you don't see it on any of the DVDs. And it's great to see Mr Nimoy, Mr Kelley and Mr Montalban alive and well.
I don’t know if he made you root for him to win, but he made you empathize with him. Also, Kirk was wrong not to ever check back on Khan and his wife and followers- Khan was absolutely right about that.
In my mind, there were two reasons why Kirk never checked back on Khan -- 1) because Khan tried to kill him and take over his ship, so to Kirk he was a bad mf, and 2) Kirk just forgot... it never even crossed his mind that it was something that he should follow up on. But technically it was Starfleet's lookout bc once Kirk et al filed that incident, somebody should've known that there was an unofficial penal colony in Ceti Alpha Five... ugh, anyway. I'm more bothered about the fact that they're gonna try to retcon TOS Kirk/Khan because now we have La'an Noonien SIngh muddying the waters lol.
I don't want to be the "old man yelling at cloud" one, but I love watching how interviews from the past were so different and how everyone involved in making the movie, from cast to crew, expressed so professionally and maturely about what they did, even if it was a sci-fi adventure movie. I really miss that.
Je pense que la colère de khan est le plus beau film de Star trek . J’aime l’ambiance sur le plateau et Leonard Nimoy dans cet uniforme, il est vraiment magnifique. Le moment où il est ovationné par le staff est très émouvant. Les gens on envie de le toucher , de le prendre dans leurs bras J’aime DeForest Kelley qui le prend par les épaules. Il semble qu’il soit vraiment très apprécié . J’adore Leonard, ainsi que les autres acteurs. Mais Spock est mon personnage préféré. Dans son livre Léonard Nimoy dit que lors du tournage de la scène du décès de Spock tout le staff était en pleurs. Je suis en pleurs moi aussi lorsque je regarde ce film Merci pour cette vidéo, j’adore
as a kid wtching the movies i didn't mind and found some of the older points of views of them being older endearing. star trek helped inspire me to focus on improving myself and getting past biases and wanting the best outcomes
Loved Khan's hair in that movie. Epic hair. Like Hair Metal Khan. Great name for a Metal band: Khan's Hair. 😉 Or: The Wrath of Khan's Hair. (We won't speak of Khan's pectorals, however.)
Actually in my humble opinion Star Trek II was by far the best of the Pre - Next Generation movies! Mr. Montalban WAS this movie! He simply owned every other cast member!
Previously known as Star Trek II : The Revenge of Khan, after Lucasfilm announced the title of Star Wars VI is The Revenge of the Jedi they changed it to Star Trek II: The Undiscovered Country, but the studio didn't like it so they ended with The Wrath of Khan
@@TrekkieChannel I didn't know that. So, they, basically, saved "The Undiscovered Country" subtitle for a later film, which, as we know, ended up being Star Trek VI. Very cool! Thanks for that knowledge.
I saw the first showing of StarTrek II in Houston. Montalband had recently done his second round of Córdoba commercials, this time for the new cut down, light weight design if Chrysler. When the Khan character stepped onto the completely refurbished Enterprise, someone on the back row said, “I like what they’ve done with my sheep!” Brought down the house.
Watching all these interviews with these actors and characters I love so much warms my heart. ❤ Also that behind the camera scene at 0:54 Wow! I've watched the movie so many times I could quote both Khan and Joachim's dialog. (Why was Judson Scott never credited? He had more than a few lines, and upon his death it seemed he was Khan's son.)
His agent asked for top billing, was offered lower billing and instead waived the billing in the mistaken belief that that meant the billing would appear in the end credits.
These were all great character actors. I have seen them in different movies. Deforest Kelley played in a number of movies including the Gun Fight at O. K. Corral as Morgan Earp.
Great interviews and the trailer at the end was awesome! Too bad they didn't interview Kirstie Alley. I would have loved to have heard her thoughts on being in a Star Trek movie & her role as Cadet Saavik.
Exactly as Kirstie became my fav Saavik from Trek 2 was missed not seeing her interviwed. Bitterly resent Paramount for not including her for Trek3. Their loss, she became a huge movie / tv star.
Yes, exactly! Have the original STARLOG Magazine Interview's of BOTH TREK 2 NEWCOMERS Merritt Butrick & Kirstie Alley from Issue # 59 & 64, 80, 95 & 102. Both Merritt & later Kirstie BOTH discussed even though they were beginner's and PAID accordingly for were then subsequently BOTH offered far less to do TREK III than they were paid a little above extra scale for TREK II. Butrick said in STARLOG ISSUE #95 that he made squat on Trek 2, supported Alley's stand but did'nt sit out the new Trek he BUTRICK had been cancelled from 1st season of TVs SQUARE PEGS and needed the work, how ever ses "Kirstie didnt need to do another Trek" she was already comitted to the LA stage production of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" for several week's by August 1st preview - season August 11 - late September coupled with the TV Pilot of MASQUERADE which was picked up for and additional 12 episodes and coupled with Paramount's offer to reprise Saavik for Trek III which came in very, very low meant the Enterprise would embark with out her STARLOG ISSUE #102. MERRIT BUTRICK called Paramount's offer "A little un-called for" and that as STARLOG know's being Kerry O'Brien " As you know Kirstie's very outspoken" and thus put in for an outrageous sum of money x 10. Studio balked at this request and made it very clear to Alley she was replaceable and began auditioning other sctresses for Saavik. Merritt himself said "then they finally counter offered by raising us "being he & Alley" a 500 per week raise to do Trek III. BUTRICK supported Alley's stand but said when accepted "This is what the roles worth, regardless of what Im worth". He resisted ever comparing the two Saavik's of Kirstie and new-comer Robin Curtis as replacement.
The best villains tend to be the most natural with destructive means. Even Jaws is a great villain. It's a shark doing shark things, but Jaws would never think of itself as evil.
Insofar as you can anthropomorphize what is essentially the main character, I think Jaws thinks he is evil by the time Jaws: The Revenge rolls around, otherwise known as Jaws 4: The Wrath of Shark. Luckily for Trek, Khan pulled off his wrath a lot better than Bruce did.
That was great! Thanks so much. 2 is the best trek film, followed by 4, in my opinion. Nice to see the members of the crew that we have lost in this piece as well. Even though it was just a tv show, what they did was far greater than that. They inspired many young ones to be interested in science and to look with optimism toward the future. It seems to me however that sadly Trek has lost what made the original and even, we might say, the Next gen special. It seems to have lost its soul, if you will. Forgotten what defines it, and why so many loved it.
WILLIAM SHATNER , A GREAT STRONG AND PASSIONATE ACTOR WHO BEN TRU HELL AND BACK !!. LOVE ❤️ ALL YOUR TV SERIES AND MOVIES ESPECIALLY STAR TREK AND T.J. HOOKER !!!!. LIVE LONG AND PROSPER .🖖🏻🖖🏻🖖🏻❤️🌹🌺😎🇺🇸😎...
TrekkieChannel : ALL THE STAR TREK MEMBERS ARE VERY SPECIAL.!!!. IF U GET A CHANCE ?, CHECK OUT : Star Trek CONTINUES .!!!. NEW SHOW ON UTUBE !!!. VERY WELL MADE !!.👍❤💕..
I am here in 2023. Very interesting video. I am a 60 year old woman from germany. Saw the original series as child. I was fan there and i am fan now. Love most startrek II, III, IV. And the original serie. And now I read books of leonard nimoy, a very interesting man and william shatner, biografies and the poem books from leonard nimoy. Also i watch films of them bothes which is no startrek. Interesting too.
We have a lot of things now that we didn't have that was portrayed on Star Trek such as automatic opening doors I'll show hospital bed monitors of blood pressure heart rate Etc Star Trek brought a lot of things into existence that we didn't have before
I still find it odd to see Leonard Nimoy smiling! Obviously he does, but I've only really ever seen him in character as Spock. And my word isn't Ricardo Montalban an erudite and charming man!
This is the beginning of the franchise....The foundation. TNG came after and raised the bar for Star Treks continuing legacy. It all ended with ST discovery and picard. St is gone as we knew it.

Richardo - "A villain doesn't think he is a villain but he does villainous things". This man brings it all to the table...
Shit that's me!
He also notes in another interview that the revenge Khan seeks isn't even for himself

And by far the best musical score of any Star Trek movie or tv show for that matter.
@@cookingwithjesus i finally paid attention and realized it was James Horner. Excellent composer.
Glad to have you aboard😀
Yes they Got Wrath of Khan right on Every Level, It's The Best Of Trek, Star Trek IV is the Conclusion of This Story Arc, VI is very Good Too
I'm 46 years old, seen this movie a million times and love it just as much every new time I watch it
Ricardo as Khan was the best ever villan, a brilliant actor and such a stage presents.
What presents?
Little factoid: Ricardo took a voluntary pay cut to play Khan. They say he could have demanded $1 million to do it. He did it for $100K. Wrath was a cash strapped production and Montalban wanted it to succeed, so he donated back most of his salary.
Interesting, didn't know that, thanks
Wow
Just him
And he made himself immortal and much more respected as an actor.
Yeah, he did it so they had more money for the special effects.
This movie is probably the best thing in the entire Star Trek franchise.
The best star trek movie of them all.
"Wrath of Khan" ... The ONLY "Star Trek" movie I can vividly recall minute by minute!! THE best Trek of ALL time...!!!!
I prefer I & 4 to 2
@@TrekkieChannel 1 was visually stunning but quite tedious. It did, however, set up the whole Admiral/Captain personal conflict for Kirk that would be further developed in 2. 4 was ... different.

Different from the first. Finding the right alley with this one. But, Leonard Nimoy swimming with a whale in the earth one was pretty radical too.

STAR TREK II: The Wrath of Khan
One of my favorite movies ever.
Even after all the years that have passed, it is still an amazing film & outstanding story.
WE WERE IN A MOVIE THEATER IN 1986 AND WHEN THE BEGINNING / INTRO STARTED ALONG WITH THE SPECIAL EFFECT SCENES THE AUDIENCE WENT INTO A ROAR OF TRIUMPH , IT WAS GOOD AS IT WAS IN 1966 - 1969 AND THE TRUTH IS WHEN YOU HAVE THE FORMULA TO CONTINUE ON YOU GET THE MOVIES !!! MAY GOD BLESS THE LIVING CAST MEMBERS & THE ONES WHO HAVE PASSED ON !!! ALIEN'S WAS GOOD , BUT COULD NOT SURPASS THE FAN BASE THAT STAR TREK CONTINUES TO BRING ABOARD !!!!!! SCOTTY FIRE 🔥!!!!!
Not only is it a great film, in and of itself, but it is also a rare example of a sequel that is better than its predecessor.
I don't agree, TMP is my favorite Star Trek movie
Amen to that Scott!! Well said.. Best Example
That battle between Enterprise and Reliant was a straight-up old time naval battle.
I've seen other interviews with Nick Meyer and he said that he considers Captain Kirk to be Horatio Hornblower, so the space battles were intended to be like a 19th Century naval engagement.
This movie STILL kicks ass! Even on DVD, it still kicks ass.
There she is, not as wounded as we were led to believe. 🙂
"You siiir are in a position to demand nothing". Beautiful man, one of
the best films and best performances ever RIP Ricardo xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
It's actually "Yooou are in a position to demand nothing, siirr."
And of course I, on the other hand, am in a position to grant... nothing.
This movie was in 1982..when other block buster movies were shown in theaters. This one may be considered the best of the year.
In every Great Movie you need an Awesome Villain. Montalban was the Man, He was a great actor. This was the best Star Trek Movie and he's the Main reason for the Success. What I love about this movie is that he dies thinking He beat Captain Kirk.
And he did. He got his revenge. Kirk paid for his mistakes with the dearest life.
It was a beautiful piece of work bringing Khan back in the new Star Trek movie.
The line that made it work from Nicolas Myer, "I'm not terribly interested in sci-fi myself but I'm very interested in inter-personal relationships."
And casually name drops "The Undiscovered Country" LONG before there would be a 6th Trek.
This approach helps you believe in the characters and what is going on, so amusing take on this is having someone not terribly interested in sci-fi was the best way to get it back to been watchable to audiences.

Mine would be The Motion Picture, but I love 2 and 4 too
Mine too !!!
The best Khan.... hands down. 👍
Could listen to Montalban all day long.
Me too!
Have you ever read Milton?

Oh yes. I have seen the series for the first time as a teenager. Decades later I still love it, but for completely different reasons.
I couldn't agree more strongly the writing and directing were amazing in the original series it holds up better than the next generation, as a whole.

Not only was this the best of the Original films but the episode Khan came from (Space seed) was the best of the episodes
Actually in my humble opinion Star Trek II was by far the best of the Pre - Next Generation movies! Mr. Montalban WAS this movie! He simply owned every other cast member!
It was the best of ALL the movies. The TNG class never transitioned well to the big screen and lacked the chemistry of the originals.
Star Trek 2, The Undiscovered Country!!!
Previously known as Star Trek II : The Revenge of Khan, after Lucasfilm announced the title of Star Wars VI is The Revenge of the Jedi they changed it to Star Trek II: The Undiscovered Country, but the studio didn't like it so they ended with The Wrath of Khan
@@TrekkieChannel I didn't know that. So, they, basically, saved "The Undiscovered Country" subtitle for a later film, which, as we know, ended up being Star Trek VI. Very cool! Thanks for that knowledge.
@@Rambo-Gaming Also, they saved the title for the only other Star Trek film that could possibly rival Star Trek II.
I saw the first showing of StarTrek II in Houston. Montalband had recently done his second round of Córdoba commercials, this time for the new cut down, light weight design if Chrysler.
When the Khan character stepped onto the completely refurbished Enterprise, someone on the back row said, “I like what they’ve done with my sheep!”
Brought down the house.
Watching all these interviews with these actors and characters I love so much warms my heart. ❤ Also that behind the camera scene at 0:54 Wow! I've watched the movie so many times I could quote both Khan and Joachim's dialog. (Why was Judson Scott never credited? He had more than a few lines, and upon his death it seemed he was Khan's son.)
His agent asked for top billing, was offered lower billing and instead waived the billing in the mistaken belief that that meant the billing would appear in the end credits.
Startrek brought these actors IMMORTALITY...if not fame or fortune.
9:10 Curious that Nick Meyer mentions the eventual name of the sixth movie in the series, The Undiscovered Country, which he was also involved in.
somekind ofBox That’s what Meyer wanted to call TREK II originally, but the studio rejected it.
I had forgotten how good the actual trailer was. I just watched the movie on Vudu again the other day and it made me want to watch it again. lol
These were all great character actors. I have seen them in different movies. Deforest Kelley played in a number of movies including the Gun Fight at O. K. Corral as Morgan Earp.
gotta love Nimoys suit and color choices
Leonard !!! wow what a suit!
Great interviews and the trailer at the end was awesome! Too bad they didn't interview Kirstie Alley. I would have loved to have heard her thoughts on being in a Star Trek movie & her role as Cadet Saavik.
Exactly as Kirstie became my fav Saavik from Trek 2 was missed not seeing her interviwed. Bitterly resent Paramount for not including her for Trek3. Their loss, she became a huge movie / tv star.
Yes, exactly! Have the original STARLOG Magazine Interview's of BOTH TREK 2 NEWCOMERS Merritt Butrick & Kirstie Alley from Issue # 59 & 64, 80, 95 & 102. Both Merritt & later Kirstie BOTH discussed even though they were beginner's and PAID accordingly for were then subsequently BOTH offered far less to do TREK III than they were paid a little above extra scale for TREK II. Butrick said in STARLOG ISSUE #95 that he made squat on Trek 2, supported Alley's stand but did'nt sit out the new Trek he BUTRICK had been cancelled from 1st season of TVs SQUARE PEGS and needed the work, how ever ses "Kirstie didnt need to do another Trek" she was already comitted to the LA stage production of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" for several week's by August 1st preview - season August 11 - late September coupled with the TV Pilot of MASQUERADE which was picked up for and additional 12 episodes and coupled with Paramount's offer to reprise Saavik for Trek III which came in very, very low meant the Enterprise would embark with out her STARLOG ISSUE #102. MERRIT BUTRICK called Paramount's offer "A little un-called for" and that as STARLOG know's being Kerry O'Brien " As you know Kirstie's very outspoken" and thus put in for an outrageous sum of money x 10. Studio balked at this request and made it very clear to Alley she was replaceable and began auditioning other sctresses for Saavik. Merritt himself said "then they finally counter offered by raising us "being he & Alley" a 500 per week raise to do Trek III. BUTRICK supported Alley's stand but said when accepted "This is what the roles worth, regardless of what Im worth". He resisted ever comparing the two Saavik's of Kirstie and new-comer Robin Curtis as replacement.
Apologie's that's to STARLOG PUBLISHER MR KERRY O'QUINN.
The Search for Spock was my favorite movie. Couldn’t get enough of it. Saw it 35 times.
My father said you came back for me, 35 times. He said you were my friend. Your name is jadziajax.
@@jeffringer7527 LOL
You get an appreciation for actors when you see it all done before the sound editing, recuts, and editing is done.
Im just imagining having dinner with Leonard Nimoy and he shows up in that suit..That would have been so great haha
Leonard Nimoy dans cet uniforme, il est magnifique
Un dîner…. Pourquoi pas!!!! Mais je mangerai pas beaucoup
What a movie! A classic!
It was best of all star terk movies and i love that show i will watch again
Best Star Trek movie by a country mile !
The best villains tend to be the most natural with destructive means. Even Jaws is a great villain. It's a shark doing shark things, but Jaws would never think of itself as evil.
Insofar as you can anthropomorphize what is essentially the main character, I think Jaws thinks he is evil by the time Jaws: The Revenge rolls around, otherwise known as Jaws 4: The Wrath of Shark.
Luckily for Trek, Khan pulled off his wrath a lot better than Bruce did.
Just... Awesome!
Awesome !
Did you notice the face Joachim makes after Khan gives him that exasperated look after he told him he was reducing speed?
As if he didn't want him to take the initiative but knew he was right.
Joachim was Khan’s center. He was the only one who could rein him in when he got too megalomaniacal.
A lot of lost friends...
❤ Watching felt like homecoming.
That was great! Thanks so much. 2 is the best trek film, followed by 4, in my opinion. Nice to see the members of the crew that we have lost in this piece as well. Even though it was just a tv show, what they did was far greater than that. They inspired many young ones to be interested in science and to look with optimism toward the future. It seems to me however that sadly Trek has lost what made the original and even, we might say, the Next gen special. It seems to have lost its soul, if you will. Forgotten what defines it, and why so many loved it.
Ricardo made the movie
Dapper, handsome gentlemen
Man, look at this. It just doesn't matter... look how professional they all are. This is craft. Nothing exists like this today.
Many children who watched the original Star Trek series became NASA engineers.
WILLIAM SHATNER , A GREAT STRONG AND PASSIONATE ACTOR WHO BEN TRU HELL AND BACK !!. LOVE ❤️ ALL YOUR TV SERIES AND MOVIES ESPECIALLY STAR TREK AND T.J. HOOKER !!!!. LIVE LONG AND PROSPER .🖖🏻🖖🏻🖖🏻❤️🌹🌺😎🇺🇸😎...
He and Leonard Nimoy have highly influenced my life when I was a kid
TrekkieChannel : ALL THE STAR TREK MEMBERS ARE VERY SPECIAL.!!!. IF U GET A CHANCE ?, CHECK OUT : Star Trek CONTINUES .!!!. NEW SHOW ON UTUBE !!!. VERY WELL MADE !!.👍❤💕..
Best star trek film ever, period
I prefer the first
@@TrekkieChannel the 1st was good but not like wrath of khan. But I get why you feel that way, the veger cloud was dope.
I am here in 2023.
Very interesting video. I am a 60 year old woman from germany.
Saw the original series as child. I was fan there and i am fan now. Love most startrek II, III, IV. And the original serie.
And now I read books of leonard nimoy, a very interesting man and william shatner, biografies and the poem books from leonard nimoy.
Also i watch films of them bothes which is no startrek. Interesting too.
We have a lot of things now that we didn't have that was portrayed on Star Trek such as automatic opening doors I'll show hospital bed monitors of blood pressure heart rate Etc Star Trek brought a lot of things into existence that we didn't have before
3:37 William Shatner's true motivation on display for just a brief moment. Like every good actor, he thrives on praise.
I still find it odd to see Leonard Nimoy smiling! Obviously he does, but I've only really ever seen him in character as Spock. And my word isn't Ricardo Montalban an erudite and charming man!
4:01 Did you just smile Spock? You laugh! That's that human part of you I was always talking about.
My favorite
1:47 Leonard's suit is F I R E. Candy cane!
Ricardo Montalban was such a bad ass
Everyone needs a doctor who has a sense of humor and cracks jokes when they need to be cracked.
Back when STAR TREK was ABOUT something!
RICARDO IS A BAD ASS
9:18 mr.Rourke from "Fantasy Island"
They're all smart people, aren't they? Articulate, perceptive, involved with what they are doing.
This is the beginning of the franchise....The foundation. TNG came after and raised the bar for Star Treks continuing legacy. It all ended with ST discovery and picard. St is gone as we knew it.
Let's hope "Strange New Worlds" will be at least slightly similar to "real" Star Trek
