I wouldn't blame him either. Up to that point he was known as either Mr. Roarke from Fantasy Island or the man who hocked 'fine Corinthian leather' for Chrysler. Returning as Khan made him a legend. He really played an excellent villain. He hit it big again a few years later as the villian in The Naked Gun. An audience loves to see a normally good man play someone evil.

The lack of a direct physical confrontation between Kirk and Kahn didn’t hurt the film one iota but in retrospect it would have been impactful if such a scene existed. Perhaps Khan would have beamed Kirk over to the Reliant and imprisoned him In the brig. Khan might have roughed Kirk up a little. Members of the Enterprise crew would have had to sneak on board Reliant somehow to mount a rescue. But like I said, a direct confrontation between the two never felt necessary during the many times that I have seen this masterpiece.

Unquestionably the best of the Star Trek films. This is the film that introduced the Kobayashi Maru scenario and this scene shows us Kirk's character and why he was given special commendation for cheating on the test: James T. Kirk never gives up. Here he is totally beaten in a surprise attack, forced to beg for mercy, but he's still fighting, still leading his crew, still trying to win. And then he does win and Khan is forced to retreat. When later Kirk says to Savok "I don't believe in the no-win scenario" the audience knows it's true, because we've seen it.

Y'know, the chaos in Engineering after the Reliant's first phaser hits on the Enterprise, the airtight bulkheads slowly closing, the engineering crew and Scotty donning respirators...it's among the most "naval-feeling" scenes in ST history. It's the engine-room crew of a World War II cruiser that's just taken a torpedo hit and is sealing off watertight doors to prevent flooding and struggling to keep up steam and electrical power and keep the ship afloat and fighting, while the men frantically scramble not to get caught on the wrong side of those doors lest they die. ST's very rarely gritty and realistic but that scene is about as close as they ever got.

What a wonderful film. I saw an unfinished work print of it several months before it was released. Expectations were not high, given the mixed reception of the first film and the fact that this picture was on a lower budget. It had a temporary soundtrack, the viewscreens were all blue (or green, I can't recall exactly), it had a temporary soundtrack (Brainstorm, some Prokofiev, and even some Superman cues, if my memory is correct), and many special effects scenes simply had storyboard art in its place. At the time, the ending had not quite been worked out. At the point where Kirk tells Scottie that they've got two minutes before Geneisis blows (or whatever), the screen went blank. Only a few people were in attendance at the small screening room and all were blown away; we knew it was going to be a big hit. You can imagine, however, the anticipation of being teased with its incompletion and 15 minutes of its ending completely absent! The picture played alongside Rocky III and Firefox in the early part of what ended up being a fanstastic summer at the movies. It thrilled audiences who came back to see it multiple times and became one of the highest regarded films of the franchise. I still get chills seeing this scene.

Everything about this is perfect writing. Its not just the combat, but the idea that Kirk in his prime wouldn't have been caught out by this. Kirk is old. The Enterprise is old. The crew is inexperienced. This isn't the ship that we saw during TOS. They took the risky route of moving things on and showing the crew in a different time of their lives. They made the good guys weak and the bad guys smart. Then they gave the good guys an escape that made sense and one that the bad guys couldn't be able to predict. This film is rightly considered a sci-fi classic. Its not just the action. Every scene in this film has a narrative purpose. Nothing is superfluous. It only more films were made like this today.

What I loved is how it showed that raw intelligence isn't a substitute for training and experience. Khan knows what he should be doing at the strategic level, but he has no real clue how Reliant really works. An new, but experienced captain might have changed the prefix codes, and known how to override the console to get Reliant under control. Khan didn't even realise that it was possible to using the computer to take over another Starfleet computer. He didn't realise that every second he gave Kirk was one more second for Kirk to get Enterprise to do things still beyond the obvious weapons/running, and every second was a second that Scotty could use for damage control. If Khan had more experience, he would have realised just what a dedicated Starfleet engineering team could do. In contrast, once they get their heads back in the game, Kirk, Spock and Sulu quickly understand what the plan is and how to execute it.
@n.w.18038 ай бұрын
That, and by luxuriating in his opportunity to gloat, and by getting greedy and allowing his mission of vengeance to creep into demanding the Genesis project files, he opened up the communications channels and allowed Kirk & Spock to use the prefix code ploy in the first place... ..if Kirk hadn't baited him into receiving the transmission ("No unencrypted transmissions over an open frequency!"), they wouldn't have been able to access Reliant's computer, presumably.
