My mom saw this when it came out and the Scotty playing amazing grace on the bagpipes affected her so much that she would cry any time she heard it, regardless of whether it was connected to Star Trek or not. It had such an impact in her that she had a recording of that song played in the bagpipes for her fathers funeral.
I never would've thought I'd cry watching a Star Trek movie, but they managed to make me actually sob when Spock died. "I have been and always shall be, your friend."
@@Datan0de I'm not gonna lie, had a little tear watching it in this clip. STILL. Just bought the 1st 10 Star Trek movies to show my grandson. Only Old Yeller has made him cry so far.
It's a sad commentary that after 37 years no one has made a better Trek. Same with Blade Runner as a cyberpunk film. The early 1980s was truly the Golden Age!
Very true. They've either returned to phases of the over-seriousness of 'The Motion Picture', or the later ones with are just rather soulless CGI 'adventures'. 'The Voyage Home' (for actually just taking a breath and having a laugh for a change) and the TNG-era 'First Contact' have come close, but sadly most of the other movies IMO, whilst I don't HATE them, were hardly outstanding.
Undiscovered Country and First Contact place for 2nd and 3rd and are incredible additions to the Star Trek world. Nothing beat wrath of course or ever will.
Prefer the TNG era, though i do admit i prefer Voyager over DS9, and i actually liked Enterprise, particularly T'pol, that alien can abduct me anytime, especially if it's to watch her have a strip-debate vs 7of9, or in her prime Crusher...mmmm gates mcfadden, classy kind of sexy
Jim Cameron Doesn’t even come close. Atrocious music, as opposed to one of the best soundtracks ever in the original, a totally redundant appearance of Deckard, emotionally lacking plot. Only cinematography was on par.
raven lord I read about that in Leonard Nimoy’s book: “I Am Spock.” Not to be confused with its predecessor... 🖖😏 All kidding aside, Spock was always my favorite character. I was devastated when we lost Leonard in 2015. Even though Star Trek’s original Pilot episode, The Cage, was produced nine or ten years before I was born (1964-65?), I grew up with all three seasons and eventually kept following the Franchise up until The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine. On a side note, I never understood the rivalry between Star Trek and Star Wars fans. I love them both equally!
@@Tony-dh7mz citation needed, mate. All of my sources say that you are totally and completely wrong. The director himself says it was real: www.usatoday.com/story/life/movies/2017/09/10/ricardo-montalbans-chest-real-or-fake-star-trek-wrath-of-khan/603958001/
No kidding. That was definitely scarring to my childhood self. As a kid, I was always afraid that a giant slug was going to burrow in to my brain through my ear while I was asleep. 😅😂
That score is awesome. I love the part where Khan first appears to the Enterprise and attacks. The buildup and the full range of the orchestra during this part is absolutely brilliant.
Well, minty, James Horner who did the score for Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan is no longer with us because he was killed in a plane crash back in 2015.
One of my favorite films of all time. I was 7 when it was released, and I saw it in theaters. I miss Leonard Nimoy, but I have the honor to share the same birthday with him, but obviously many years later. Live long and prosper Leonard.
Finally Minty. The greatest Star Trek that ever was and ever will be! I watched this in a drive in theater when it came out. It was a drive in that you could get chilly dogs and french fries.
James Horner's soundtrack is pretty badass to listen even though he recycled some of the score from Wolfen, Battle Beyond the Stars, Humanoids from the deep, and used Khan's music for Aliens.
Not only did they change the timing of Spock's death because of the leak, they added a fake-out death at the beginning during the Kobayashi Maru scene to throw people off so they would be surprised at the end when it happened for real. Also, while there is a rivalry between Trek and Wars fans, Gene Roddenberry and George Lucas actually respected each other quite a bit.
The beginning of a wonderful arc trilogy. Wrath of Khan, Search for Spock, Voyage Home, Undiscovered Country and First Contact are the All-time best Star Trek Movies. The less said about the crappy Kelvin timeline (or REBOOTS), the better.
Hey, what about Star Trek V? That was basically a featurelength TOS episode. With pretty much the same budget. And a great story about family, friendship, the pain inside of us that.. dispite hurting us so much... is an important part of our character... and of course.. faith and how far you'd be willing to go for it. And with that premise i think that makes a good flick. Paramount should have given Shatner a bigger budget for it. Seriously.
Spock dying at the end of the film was a better choice unlike Transformers the 1986 film where Optimus Prime dies at the beginning of the movie. Leonard Nimoy also voiced Galvatron.
Supposedly the script was changed, Prime was supposed to die at the end of the movie, though I have no proof to this, but I have heard it over and over
There was so much that could go wrong with his escape plan. If Kirk was wrong he would have doomed everyone to be buried alive. Kirk always had a hidden undercurrent of doubt that he hid with bluster. His take on what it means to be a leader and captain is complicated.
The soundtrack for this movie is absolutely great. I have the cd and listen to it often. The death of Spock was a great and powerful scene, but then felt like a gimmick after they brought him back. I've always thought that Spock's death was leaked intentionally to drive up interest in the film and get people to the theater.
It was intentional. The leak was from Gene Roddenberry himself, according to Shatners' book, '" M0VIE MEM0RIES"'. Gene also leaked about the ENTERPRISE destruction in TR£K III
some possible alternate titles. funny to think what they might imply by changing one word... Star Trek II: The Conniption of Khan The Annoyance of Khan The Frustration of Khan The Unrest of Khan The Temper Tantrum of Khan The Apoplexy of Khan The Pout of Khan The Sulk of Khan The Mope of Khan
Hello Minty! I have never subscribed to a channel. Ever. Until now! I've been watching your videos for about the past two years. I've even gone back into your archives and watched everything since the beginning of your channel. I love the devotion and effort you put into your videos and the production value continues to rise with every video. You've gone from searching for the perfect pair of aviators to presenting in front of a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle backdrop while orating to learning and employing editing techniques and creating graphic intros and effects. Your research and storytelling has always been spot on and entertaining! I especially love Squiggles. I always know it's about to be a fun episode when he shows up. Hopefully you get to go on a vacation soon... though that's a selfish wish on my part as I'd surely enjoy another episode of "Minty Abroad". Thanks for the great work that you do. The love and dedication you have for the process shows and as a viewer I appreciate that. I'll always remember my first subscription!
I remember seeing Star Trek the Motion Picture at the theater in 1979 at the age of four. Now at 43, the original is still boring, but Wrath of Khan was next level, and has always been my favorite of the whole series.
Star Trek The Motion Picture could've been edited down to just 45 minutes. Because it was originally written to be a pilot episode for a new Star Trek T.V. show to be called Star Trek: Phase Two.
The Motion Picture is pretty much perfect as it is. If you enjoy it depends mostly on your expectations. If you want serious, adult SF, then this is for you. If you want stupid boom boom kids SF, you'll of course prefer Wrath of Khan (or the incredibly great Starship Troopers)
Motion Picture was okay, but I kind of prefer the 83 TV version that made it more like a TV pilot. They sold this version on VHS in the late 80's. I actually found that version more fun to watch because as a young kid, I did better with detail and having Spock, Uhura, and McCoy express how big V'Ger was. I also liked the Kirk scenes outside the ship, although they never really shot the memory wall scenes completely before it was scrapped. And the longer scenes at the end as they travel through V'Ger was deeper in that version. The Director's Edition salvaged a lot of the TV version, but didn't go totally overboard with scenes like a Ensign/Yomen taking over the weapons console for Decker after Chekov gets hurt, and Chekov returning and telling her he'll take over. I do miss the computer voice that was removed from the Special Edition. "Emergency Alert. Negative control at helm."
So the TV Version was an "Extended" Version, where they cut back in everything they found on the cutting room floor to be somewhat "exclusive", like they did for the 3-hrs TV versions of Dune and Superman ? I missed the original version of Motion Picture in the cinemas, so I'm primarily familiar with the DVD Director's cut.
It made me laugh out loud when I saw it first - then I started to wonder if the rumors were really going to be true at all. So, not only was it funny, it was effective!
This was a sci-fi treat when I was a kid. And despite Nemoy wanting to kill off Spock, his arc still led to the Voyage Home, which is one of my favorite Star Trek movies ever.
It was Roddenberry who deep-sixed the idea of having Saavik be the Vulcan plotter in the Undiscovered Country. Instead, the studio went with Kim Cattrall's Lt. Valarus. Had Saavik been a ring leader it would have made the sense of betrayal felt by Kirk and especially Spock, seem so much more profound than in the actual movie.
11:45. Your react to the 'figures' made me lol. In Fasa's defense, they were more known for their metal starship models, that you'd assemble and paint. I had about 15 or 20 of them. The cool thing was some nice detailing and the prices varied because they were all in scale to one another. So when Star Trek III came along and the Excelsior came out, it was twice as big as the Enterprise.
I have this soundtrack on vinyl and it's probably 1 of my favorite albums of all time not just for movies but literally to listen Of all time. Thank you Mr. Horner.
Star Trek 2 saved the franchise, and stands out ,as one of the best out of all the films in the franchise, part 4 was good also and the kept the franchise alvie.😎👍
I agree, many Trekkies and science fiction fans in general felt that Wrath Of Khan was a better story and more like the Star Trek tv series than The Motion Picture was. It is surprising to me that more merchandise was not released in 1982 to promote the movie. Thankfully, Diamond Select Toys finally made Wrath Of Khan action figures and even a Phaser replica to make up for this oversight.
The "leak" is also why they wrote the simulation scene in the beginning of the film so that the audience would see him die and then realize that it wasn't real.
The first time, I totally let it go as a one-time slip up. The second time, I let it go again. Now the third time. It’s called the “U.S.S. Enterprise” NOT the “U.S. Enterprise” (two “S”s, as in “United Star Ship” not “United States.”)
Mostly the time of production I would say. It was long in pre-production, principle photography and post-production. And the longer it takes, the longer the meter is running.
"Admiral Kirrrk. You have 60 seconds to turn over all data and material regarding Project Genesis or I will destroy your ship." "Please, the bridge is smashed, the computer's inoperative. I'm going to need at least a minute." "Do not insult my intelligence, Kirrrrrk; sixty seconds and no longer!"
I recall seeing TWOK and the theater showing it advertised a "special presentation" that made the run-time about 3 hours. Turned out that they showed the TOS episode "Space Seed" on the wide screen before TWOK, giving the audience the background on Khan and Kirk's history.
A bit of perspective from someone who was there, as this film was a pretty big moment from my childhood. First, that Star Trek watch was pretty expensive for back then, and I don't think a lot of kids at that time would have expected such a thing unless their parents were rich. The other thing about merchandising: I really didn't expect toys from star Trek; it seemed Star Trek, to my mind even then, was the grown-up version of Star Wars and therefore would have no toys associated with it. Excellent video, as usual.
As a die hard Star Wars fan, I can say Wrath of Khan is one of the best Sci-Fi movies ever made.
Along side Empire Strikes Back,
See, we can get along,
Khan was 10X better than the 1979 Star Trek film. ✔.
Pan, nope, as in “nope”
That's one damn low bar. lol The first Star Trek was like a kid's attempt to write 2001 using trek characters, kind of.
You can like BOTH franchises. It is allowed you know. No laws or anything forbidding it.
the soundtrack to Wrath-o-Kahn is still one of the most epic film scores ever written...i still have this one...on vinyl
I have it on CD. 🙂
Ditto, special edition on CD
The perfect companion to the KRULL soundtrack.
I have BOTH vinyl & CD...
AMEN.
Vinyl = Analog,
Analog sound is better because there is no artificial digital compression,
Classy

Bones: Go? Where are we going?
Kirk: Where they went.
Bones: Suppose they went nowhere.
Kirk: Then this'll be your big chance to get away from it all.

Best lines ever.

Yeah you can hear some of his Star Trek II cues (the KHAN cue) a lot in "Aliens" too but hey… that was just Horner's thing :)

Then 1, and 4 and 5, later films do not register
Are you mad? 6 is an excellent movie, despite two glaring issues.
11:45. Your react to the 'figures' made me lol. In Fasa's defense, they were more known for their metal starship models, that you'd assemble and paint. I had about 15 or 20 of them. The cool thing was some nice detailing and the prices varied because they were all in scale to one another. So when Star Trek III came along and the Excelsior came out, it was twice as big as the Enterprise.
I have this soundtrack on vinyl and it's probably 1 of my favorite albums of all time not just for movies but literally to listen Of all time. Thank you Mr. Horner.
A fake death for Spock occurred in the first 10 minutes because of the leak as well.
Thanx4the clip,Minty! I like the directors cut of this movie
By far this is my favorite Star Trek movie. Thank you for doing a video about it.
I always thought that the Star Wars vs Star Trek "rivalry" was SO STUPID! I love them both!
Minty.... can you do a 10 things you didn't know for V and V: The Final Battle?
I'm proud of you for pronouncing "Ricardo Montalban" correctly, Minty.
I want to hear Minty say "Fine Corinthian leather".
Favorite Star Trek! Awesome childhood memories.
Every time I see one of Minty's 10 Things...vids in my queue in the morning it makes my day. Thanks Minty!
Star Trek 2 saved the franchise, and stands out ,as one of the best out of all the films in the franchise, part 4 was good also and the kept the franchise alvie.😎👍
I agree, many Trekkies and science fiction fans in general felt that Wrath Of Khan was a better story and more like the Star Trek tv series than The Motion Picture was. It is surprising to me that more merchandise was not released in 1982 to promote the movie. Thankfully, Diamond Select Toys finally made Wrath Of Khan action figures and even a Phaser replica to make up for this oversight.
I could swear the same music from Krull is also in this movie.
Best StarTrek movie hands down
Love it! Your channel always brightens my day!
KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN 🤘😜🤘
The "leak" is also why they wrote the simulation scene in the beginning of the film so that the audience would see him die and then realize that it wasn't real.
That was a very clever way to handle the entire leak situation.
I was age 27, been a Trek fan since 1966, so that scene was very heartfelt. Each movie made, I treated family/friends to see those movies. 🖖
Great video, Minty; one of my favorites from you!
*SMASHES MINTY'S THUMBS-UP BUTTON!!!*
Love this movie: They got the action-intellectual balance just right.
The first time, I totally let it go as a one-time slip up. The second time, I let it go again. Now the third time. It’s called the “U.S.S. Enterprise” NOT the “U.S. Enterprise” (two “S”s, as in “United Star Ship” not “United States.”)
This is my favorite movie of all time. I can watch it anytime and always get the emotions that come with it.
One of the best soundtracks ever!
Kirk: Khan just give me a minute to inform my crew.
Khan: I give you two minutes captain.
MISQUOTE! You'll have to watch the movie again to make up for it.

No. Khan gave Kirk 60 seconds. It's Commander Kruge in Star Trek 3 that gave Kirk 2 minutes to set the self destruct.
Thanks minty!!
Excellent video about "Star Trek 2 Wrath of Khan". Good job.
Great video- this is one of my favorite movies. Thanks and Cheers!
They really got their money's worth out of that Genesis animation, didn't they?
Fun fact: that animation was actually a multi-layer animation. That whole shot was not one take but basically like a optical FX shot.
Also the first use of a wholly CG sequence in movie history.
46 million on first movie? Where was it spent...cause I dont see it. Khan is great :D Thanks for the review
Mostly the time of production I would say. It was long in pre-production, principle photography and post-production. And the longer it takes, the longer the meter is running.
Another awesome video. Thank you very much
"Admiral Kirrrk. You have 60 seconds to turn over all data and material regarding Project Genesis or I will destroy your ship." "Please, the bridge is smashed, the computer's inoperative. I'm going to need at least a minute." "Do not insult my intelligence, Kirrrrrk; sixty seconds and no longer!"
love your videos, they are very Unique, and funny. Coodows
Brilliant film.
Love you channel man watch all the time you do the best movies. I have got my partner watching now
I look forward to these reviews. Thank you Minty!
@13:52 Should have dubbed over Kirk and have him scream "MINTY!"
Then cut back and have you run off screen :)
2:15, oh, I remember that idea pitch. I looked it up on Wikipedia.
Live long and prosper Minty !
Live long and prosper, Minty 🖖
Do airplane one and airplane 2 please
Shirley you are not serious...

@@Tony-dh7mz I am serious....and don't call me Shirley
How do Chekov and Khan know each other if Walter Koenig wasn't in Space Seed?
Off Camera encounter. Chekov clogged the toilet causing it to overflow when Kahn used it.
Perhaps through a training session/history classes.
Another great job thanks Minty
so glad I finally watched all ST movies, was time well spent. great vid, thx
Minty.....Twin Peaks
Go to the gym, or watch Minty’s video on one of my favorites movies of all time? The gym can wait!
I recall seeing TWOK and the theater showing it advertised a "special presentation" that made the run-time about 3 hours. Turned out that they showed the TOS episode "Space Seed" on the wide screen before TWOK, giving the audience the background on Khan and Kirk's history.
A bit of perspective from someone who was there, as this film was a pretty big moment from my childhood. First, that Star Trek watch was pretty expensive for back then, and I don't think a lot of kids at that time would have expected such a thing unless their parents were rich. The other thing about merchandising: I really didn't expect toys from star Trek; it seemed Star Trek, to my mind even then, was the grown-up version of Star Wars and therefore would have no toys associated with it. Excellent video, as usual.
