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.

When I was in the 9th grade, my English teacher told my class that Nichelle Nichols was a close friend of his. He invited her to come to our school and speak to my class. She was one of the nicest people I ever met. Such class and grace.

“What does God need with a starship?” I loved that quote from the movie.

So Mel Brooks was spoofing Star Trek 3 in the scene from Spaceballs when they watched themselves. Mel Brooks is awesome

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).

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.

The feline species was featured in the animated series which was written by the writers of the original show. Those writers considered the cartoons a continuation of the show and cannon. There was a feline navigator that often sat next to Sulu as a replacement for Walter Koenig since he wasn't able to appear in the series. And the species did appear in the novelization of The Search for Spock.

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.

Eyyy

That story about Nimoy being worried about De Kelly but him out running them all is brilliant!

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.

Actually, in the book "The Autobiography of James Kirk," #5 is a movie in Kirk's universe and he explains it as fictional.

“What does God need with a starship?”

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.

My favourite review of Star Trek V: "God and Kirk compare egos. God loses."

I bought Generations the day it was released for $20. Someone got ripped off.

Love how your commercial was 4:3 and maybe 360p.

Star Trek 5: I need my pain! Star Trek 7: I love the Nexus. 🤨

I remember watching it the day it came out back in 1989 and the audience loved it! Laughing, cheering, and clapping at the end. I also worked at a movie theater when it was released and same thing. Great crowds. So idk where all the hate came from. Must be from early 90's internet on. I love it. Its original with a great story and music.

Oh my God! I can't wait for the "A N N I H I L A T I O N" review! 😂😂😂

Isn't the rockface he's climbing called El Capitan?

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

Confession time: As a small child, this movie taught me the "Row Row Row Your Boat" song. I was like three.

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.

Wow whang in a cinemassacre vid. Didn't think that would ever happen.

Rental Reviews has got to be my new favorite KZfaq series, always entertained the whole time.

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.

James sounded like the lawyer from Seinfeld when he was pitching audio books. Motivational, inspirational, conversational. Giddy Up

I Love VHS Taps Video Cover ArtWork.

Very Clerks-esque opening

I like the fan theory that the whole story was a shared dream brought on by Spock eating whiskey-laced beans.

I always had a soft spot for Star Trek V. A truly underrated pic in my opinion.

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

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.

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

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.

A friend once bought the Star Trek V DVD but when he put it in the player, it was Conan The Destroyer. I told him to keep it. lol

Do cherry 2000 dangit

The whole 'Paradise' shared planet concept was somewhat improved on with 'Chal' and the 'Children of Heaven'.

The VHS tape cover to this day still gives me goosebumps.

Well done, my old son. These keep getting better and better.

Anybody else get excited to see Whang at the beginning? I love that dude.

Kieran: “Am I even in this one?” 😂😂😂

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.

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.

What a bunch of nerds... I feel home

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.

Could you guys do more of these style reviews on the other Star Trek movies (1-13)?

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.

James Rolfe for president 2020!

Silverman kills in this ep :)

The ad kind of reminds me a lot of Last Action Hero when Sylvester Stallone is in all the Arnold Schwarzenegger movies

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

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.

Watching the the tape picture getting lined up was like watching detectives piecing together a killer's cryptic message. It was awesome.

I love how the clips are 4x3 cropped, just like it would be on VHS.

Review suggestion: the Ernest movies (Ernest goes to camp, Ernest Scared Stupid, etc.)

Row, Row, Row your Boat gently down the Stream! Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Life is but a dream!

I freaking loved how Justin paused and said, "I am calm now." I cant stop laughing.

One of my favorite things to watch on YT. I love these! Everyone in the crew brings something to the conversation. Plz keep making many more of these

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.

Anybody else get the vibe Matei doesnt like the other two? When he sits in on these i get this vague sense of contempt from him for the new guys.

That guy is wearing a Ralphie May t-shirt sitting beside Ralphie May mind blown

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!

Great video guys. Yall should review the other Star Trek films. Maybe some of the episodes as well.

Who doesn't love star trek 5!

Love you guys deconstructing classic movies! The retro style intro is great as well. Greetings from Portugal 👍 PS: you should review all of the classic movies mentioned by Remington Steele in the show with the same name.

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.

13:35 For the record, I think 'Star Trek: The Motion Picture' is pretty damn good.

18:27 "spiritual fiction" Have you guys ever seen the 80s cartoon series *Ulysses 31* ? It mixes Greek mythology an science fiction, it's pretty cool.

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.

Notice how he ended with "Scotty, four to beam up", and not with the more famous (but inaccurate) "Beam me up, Scotty"?

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.

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.

Lightning struck a power pole near my house when I was watching at about 6:05 . The power went out. When I was a bit less terrified I laughed.

Fanpeople: Don't destroy my sci fi childhood! JJ Abrams: ... *trollface*

Audible, a division of the, "Center for Kids Who Don't Read Good".

V was bad but gotta love that Jerry Goldsmith score!

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.

Star Trek 5: I need that pain, it makes me who i am! Star Trek 7: Yeah fuck all that ima go escape reality now into forever happy land!

"Do you have Star Trek V!?" - said no woman ever.

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.

Whang!! Great videos and everyone love the cameos, keep up the great work!!!👾😁

Hey nerd your new video looks good,the intro brings me back alot,i was wondering if for your one of avgn episodes you could do tamogochi,im sure itll be an alright idea.keep up the good work,much hope and appreciation to ya

Galaxy Quest is awesome, top 5 Star Trek movie IMO.

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.

1:35 It’s a commercial within a commercial! A unique example would be: “Spaceballs: the Coloring Book”.

This was great. I would love for you to do more Star Trek of all kinds, as I am a die-hard Trekkie.

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

Saw Star Trek in the title and it was enough to get me here! :-)

30:25 Never knew about that awesome image of all the VHS boxes, great design.

Some theorized the being was a cytherian that Picard meets in “Nth degree”.

"Justin Silverman is my friend"

I actually liked this movie.

"Five F'in Rockmen!?" My favorite video store review yet, guys! Mike's Shatner impression is damn good:)

You should watch one hour photo with Robin Williams. Ive NEVER seen Williams play a role as this. Its amazin n g

Asterios and Justin Whang? Is James a secret Dickhead? (and yes I know it could be because of Hack the Movies)

Captain... Life is not a dream...

Kirk holding a copy of the movie on VHS reminds me of Spaceballs when they go off on a tangent about merchandising. And they start watching the movie in the movie. That was such a classic scene.

Am I the only person who's remember seeing in the news that William Shatner died in like 2013/14, ad they had like TV specials celebrating his career and life? The Mandella effect is strong.
