James, I have enjoyed your content for years and I am thoroughly enjoying your recent videos where you and your friends get together to discuss movies. As for your videos: thank you and anybody else that makes closed captioning possible in your content. As a hearing-impaired person, it is greatly appreciated as it makes it easier for me to follow the content. If you ever questioned whether CC was worth the effort, it is worth it to followers like myself.
The one thing I will always remember about Star Trek 5 is that I saw it as part of a Paramount end of summer double feature. The other Paramount film was Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade. After 1989, the studios stopped offering these double feature bills. So Star Trek 5 and Last Crusade was the last modern film double feature I ever saw.
My memory was visiting my cousin and him telling me that we had to see it before Friday. Because it was a limited release and was only showing for 2 weeks, I didnt believe him and then went to try to see it, and it was out of the theater nice thing it was on video2 months later
12:33 That actually was supposed to be a toilet with the lid down. The "Do not use while in spacedock" was supposed to be like the signs on old train toilets which just basically dumped human waste onto the tracks (you didn't want human waste on the tracks in the train station).
V is actualy my all time favorite trek movie ever. On par with the motion picture which i Iike a lot and to me star trek v is the only one that totally captured the character spirit of the original series.

It's far from great, but much better than people give it credit. Despite many production problems, it still had a pretty original story and genuine camaraderie among the 3 leads.
I honestly like all the TOS movies. To me it's great to see them be a bit more silly as time goes on, after all their adventures, to see these guys, now being way older, just enjoy their friendships while getting some of the weirdest things going in all of Trek. It truly feels like old friends coming together to do what they love.
Mike's face is priceless at 27:41 :D Actually I think Star Trek V isn't that bad movie. Of course, it's full with bullshit, the effects are bad, but the plot is really interesting. It feels like an episode from TOS, because the crew of the Enterprise looking for the unkwnown. And it represents the friendship between Kirk, Spock and McCoy beautifully. And you guy's didn't mention the music, composed by the great Jerry Goldsmith. You can say anything about the movie, but you have to admit, the score is fantastic. By the way, great Rental episode as always. Can't wait for the next one :D
The effects are only bad because ILM did dn't do them this time. So the whole Special Effects work had to be... "outsourced" and this is what we got. Jerry Goldsmith wrote a FANTASTIC and touching soundtrack for the film and imho still one of the best Star Trek soundtracks there is.
I rewatched Star Trek V recently and the one thing I remember that really stood out to me was the way Kirk just straight up murders the triple breasted cat lady. Cold blooded.
Kirk in Star Trek Generations isn't canon. The last time we saw the real Kirk was in Star Trek 6. The guy in Generations was just some random dude who helped Picard out at the end.
I love Star Trek V! I thought the story was very intriguing, looking for a supreme being in the universe. Also has some great scenes like the campfire and the Sybok trying to tempt Kirk
The entity is called The One, it is a creature that can equal the Q by taking power from mortals that worship it. It is featured in a few official books.
I loved Star Trek 5. It was the only movie my family had on VHS when I was growing up, and it might have been my introduction to the original cast. Afterwards, I rented the some of the other movies, and enjoyed those too, but V always has a special place in my heart, and a lot of nostalgia. As an objective adult, I can recognize it for what it is, but even some of its flaws can be endearing.
Jason Jimerson It's been many years since I have seen this movie and I was thinking more of Shatner being very pleased with the idea of The Captain trying to conquer El Capitan.
I love Kirk,Spock,and McCoy’s family friendship in this and how it comes full circle with Spocks statement after saving Kirk with the bird of prey. It’s actually a really good Star Trek movie.
12:15.... That WAS a toilet. The joke on the label is a reference to trains before they had onboard waste collection tanks. The ... whatever... would just drop on the tracks and there was a sign “Do not use in a station” because if you did... well... you do the math.
Justin's my favorite of the bunch, his scenario of a kid growing up on Star Trek just to watch his life's work get blown up inconsequentially is wonderful.
That thing he is sitting on in the cell IS a toilet. You can see the lines for the lid that lifts up. Shatner himself said it's a toilet. Good luck finding the interview in question though. I remember it from some Star Trek marathon on TV back in the 90s
Maybe the Shatner standee holding the video hes in is a nod to Spaceballs which makes fun of Star Wars. Its definitely not, but in my dimension it might be.
Personally, I thoroughly enjoy the camping scenes. They’re very human. What I really enjoy about the fifth Star Trek movies how much emphasis is simply on Kirk, Spock, and McCoy.
I feels like a feature-length episode of the original TV series at times more so than a cinematic endeavour, but I suppose that's part of the movie's charm.
Not gonna lie, Star Trek V's a pretty bad movie... but I'd say both Insurrection and Nemesis were worse, the former because it's dull and has a completely nonsensical moral message, and the latter because they clearly weren't trying anymore.
Star Trek V has some very nice character moments, but no doubt the Special Effects budget really hurt it as the visuals simply can't keep up with the story. Also there is some very uninspired editing, although that may reflect the limitations of the footage that was filmed. It's an admirable failure, yet I always find it rewatchable.
I remember that there were two versions of the Star Trek VI VHS. One called Kirk Admiral and the other called him Captain. I always thought that was weird.
always loved this movie, genuinely, always thought it was fun, and certainly loved how the film gave a lot of attention to the Kirk, Spock and McCoy dynamic.
Just wanted to say I'm REALLY enjoying this new series of Rental Reviews. I am not a huge gamer at all; I enjoy the AVGN videos but many of the other playthrough type ones are not for me. However the movie focussed horror and rental review videos are excellent, particularly the effort put into the VHS-ised local video library advert at the start of these. Keep em up!
I’m just really confused by what he said about buying VHS in 1995 or whatever. I either completely misunderstood him or he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
This is one of my favourite series on TH-cam. It's a group of friends talking about movies. It's really chill and the videos are great to have on in the background or to watch after work. 10/10 would fucking watch this again
If you ask me, Star Trek V sounds like a fan film, that blew what budget it had on hiring the actual the actors. And the director decided to quit mid way through and William Shatner just turned it into something that would do on the weekends.
Scotty’s scene was a nod to The Doomsday Machine episode of TOS, in which Scotty, talking to Kirk, ducks a pipe jutting out of the wall like he knew it was there, despite the situation. Doohan was a master.
Who else misses the this show? I seriously would await Friday’s release.l every week like I do Red Letter media. Now I don’t even barely watch cinemassacre
Mentioning the $100 for a VHS copy of Star Trek Generations makes me remember why I was happy when DVDs came out and one could buy it in store right away instead of renting.

irina1296 Nothing mad about it. All three movies have strengths and weaknesses, so it does come down to taste. I do like V, it has some good ideas and is fun to watch.
12:21 I'm fairly sure that scene actually *was* intended as a toilet joke. From the suspiciously flush-like position of the button tongue-in-cheek spoof of the messages you see in bathrooms on trains and airplanes. It's a somewhat immature and very out of place joke for Star Trek, but considering this particular movie in general, it's par for the course.
I believe they reference the "God" entity in Star Trek TNG. Season 1 if memory serves. Forget the plot points but they end of at the center of the galaxy and an identical type alien appears only this one is good. Go figure.
This movie gets such so much hate it doesn't deserve. People say the direction is bad simply because they know Shatner directed it. There are scenes with great composition and lighting, but because Shatner directed the scenes, people just say they're badly shot.
David Warner was one of those actors who seemed to be in everything for a couple of year then just disappeared. Joss Ackland was similar. Actors who do that fascinate me.
All I remember from Star Trek V as a kid was the campfire scene where Kirk, Spock & Bones were singing Row Row Row Your Boat. I knew this movie was a stinker when that scene started.
Nimoy: when I directed Star Trek 4 I got a terrific performance out of Bill because I respected him so much.
Shatner: When I directed Star Trek 5 I got a terrific performance out of me because I respect me so much.

Actually, in the book "The Autobiography of James Kirk," #5 is a movie in Kirk's universe and he explains it as fictional.
My favourite review of Star Trek V: "God and Kirk compare egos. God loses."
Shatner says "watch Captain Kirk defeat God!" God says "we'll see about that."
I always had a soft spot for Star Trek V. A truly underrated pic in my opinion.
It's far from great, but much better than people give it credit. Despite many production problems, it still had a pretty original story and genuine camaraderie among the 3 leads.
I can't hate this film at all, I grew up with it

There was WAY weirder/goofier stuff in the series.
This movie gets 2 thumbs up from me. A movie where Spock shoots "God" in the face with a Bird of Prey is cinematic gold in my books
I bought Generations the day it was released for $20. Someone got ripped off.
He payed $100 for the Picard and Kirk on same screen experience.

If you say so. I always thought the dichotomy was a nice little subtext in the movies. He does ultimately leave the nexus to get his pain back.

Review suggestion: the Ernest movies (Ernest goes to camp, Ernest Scared Stupid, etc.)
Not gonna lie, Star Trek V's a pretty bad movie... but I'd say both Insurrection and Nemesis were worse, the former because it's dull and has a completely nonsensical moral message, and the latter because they clearly weren't trying anymore.
Insurrection was better than 5 imo
Insurrection shoehorned in the humor better than 5.
Adam Vanderpluym That’s what the movie has always felt like to me.
Those are surely the 3 worst ST movies. 5 imo is the worst. I'll never watch it again.

@@romero329 says who
David Warner was one of those actors who seemed to be in everything for a couple of year then just disappeared. Joss Ackland was similar. Actors who do that fascinate me.
Hey James you should do this really crappy old movie for rental reviews, But its called Adam Sandler Going Overboard. I warned ya, It's really crappy.
I could never make it all the way through that movie. I would always get to the dream sequence with the cymbal monkey and then shut it off.
"Five F'in Rockmen!?" My favorite video store review yet, guys! Mike's Shatner impression is damn good:)
Star Trek V is probably the most like the actual original series IMO.
One theme parallels “The Way to Eden”
no
All I remember from Star Trek V as a kid was the campfire scene where Kirk, Spock & Bones were singing Row Row Row Your Boat. I knew this movie was a stinker when that scene started.
