 Interesting Questions, Facts, and Information
 ST II: The Wrath of Khan .
NCC-1864. You can see the numbers several times throughout, mostly during the flyby and battle scenes.
16309. I've seen this movie so, so many times. This is the code used during the first battle that orders Reliant to lower her shields.
Moby Dick. It is in gold writing and is the only title clearly visible.
Yes. He is Scotty's nephew who gets waxed in the first major battle.
tranquilizer. I always like the fact that Spock calls Saavik "Mr." in this scene.
Ego. This discussion is in reference to Kirk taking command from Captain Decker in the first film.
Two hours. "By the book" is something mentioned a lot throughout the film due to the regulation that bans uncoded messages on open channels.
Merritt Butrick. I love that he's blonde and tall, obviously Kirk's son.
Nominal. This flashes just before Kirk says, "Bless you Scotty. Go Sulu!"
20. According to Khan, the creatures killed 20 of his people, including his wife.
3. Three people hold Kirk back-- Bones, Scotty and Ensign Who Cares.
| When Spock gives Kirk his present at the beginning of the film, he is paged over an intercom. How much time does Spock have before his shuttle departs according to the intercom? | "Star Trek II" Trivia For Serious Fans
|
15 minutes. He is off to the Enterprise to check in. Kirk is on his way home to get yelled at by Bones.
Lieutenant Saavik (Kirstie Alley). Saavik's voice opens the film -- oddly enough, with the word's "Captain's log." She is not a captain, of course; she is merely acting as captain during the KOBAYASHI MARU simulation.
Spock. We hear Saavik's voice first, but Spock is the first character to appear on camera. He is studying a tactical display of the ENTERPRISE as Saavik's voice-over is heard.
| A "stardate" is given at the beginning of the film -- it is a four-digit number followed by a decimal point and an additional digit. What is the *first* number in the given stardate? | "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan," Part 1
|
8 . Saavik designates the stardate as 8130.3.
| The training simulation that opens the film features a ship in distress called the KOBAYASHI MARU (whose name, in Japanese, means "ship in distress"!). According to the tactical display on the viewscreen of the ENTERPRISE's main bridge, what is the last name of this troubled ship's captain? | "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan," Part 1
|
Vance. Blink and you miss it, but the tactical display does name the "master" of the ship as Kojiro Vance.
381. The KOBAYASHI MARU has a crew of 81, and it is carrying 300 passengers.
| Saavik orders Sulu to take the ENTERPRISE into the Klingon Neutral Zone in order to assist the KOBAYASHI MARU. According to Sulu's dialogue, how long will it take the ENTERPRISE to reach the KOBAYASHI MARU? | "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan," Part 1
|
two minutes. Sulu: "Estimating two minutes to intercept."
| Once the ENTERPRISE enters the Neutral Zone, resistance from the Klingons appears almost instantly. How many Klingon vessels have arrived to oppose the ENTERPRISE, according to the image on the viewscreen? | "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan," Part 1
|
3 . If the shots of the three Klingon battle cruisers look familiar, that's because they're actually recycled footage from "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" (1979).
Commander Montgomery Scott (James Doohan). McCoy, Uhura, and Spock all "played dead" for the purposes of the simulation. Scotty, however, wasn't even on the bridge at the time.
vacuuming the floor. Director Nick Meyer states in his DVD commentary that he didn't want Kirk to notice the laborer at all, but William Shatner took a long, curious look at the man. Meyer didn't think it would be worth the time to re-shoot the scene, so that's the take we see in the film.
Charles Dickens. The book is "A Tale of Two Cities." Kirk recites both the first and last lines of the book before the film is over.
It's never said. Director Nick Meyer was insistent that Kirk's 49th birthday be stated overtly in dialogue, but William Shatner demanded that Kirk's exact age remain unrevealed. Shatner won: we're never told how old Kirk is.
Retinax. McCoy gives Kirk reading glasses for his birthday. He tells his friend and commanding officer that, for patients of Kirk's age, he usually administers (or "recommends," depending on which version of the film you see) Retinax 5 -- presumably medication that improves eyesight -- but Kirk immediately notes that he is allergic to Retinax, a fact that McCoy obviously knows already.
| Pavel Chekov (Walter Koenig) is noticeably absent from the ENTERPRISE crew in the beginning of the film. This is because he has been, at some offscreen point, reassigned to the USS RELIANT. What is Chekov's position aboard the RELIANT? | "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan," Part 1
|
First Officer. Chekov's initial "Ship's log" entry makes it clear that he is the first officer of the USS RELIANT.
Kyle (John Winston). Kyle -- whose first name has been lost to history, if it was ever known -- was the Transporter Chief in a number of original "Star Trek" episodes (including "Space Seed," the episode in which Khan Noonien Singh first appeared!) Since then, he has apparently been promoted to the rank of commander, and has moved from transporter operations to communications.
Terrell. Paul Winfield played Captain Clark Terrell. Beach (Paul Kent) was the science officer.
| As Carol Marcus and her son, Dr. David Marcus (Merritt Butrick), leave the main lab at Space Station Regula 1 and chat in the corridor, the door that closes behind them is emblazoned with a certain descriptive label. What does it say? | "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan," Part 1
|
Thermonics. As far as I know, there's no such word...but, hey, that's what it says. Kirk, McCoy, and Saavik later encounter the same door a few times during their search of the Regula station.
| David Marcus praises his mother by suggesting that, thanks to her work on the Genesis Project, her name will one day be spoken in the same breath as those of several other revolutionary scientists. Whom does he *not* name in this list of famous scientists? | "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan," Part 1
|
Zephram Cochrane. David invokes Newton (who revolutionized physics), Einstein (who, among other achievements, gave us E = Mc^2), and Surak (a Vulcan scientist and philosopher). He never mentions Cochrane, the man who invented warp drive in the mid-21st century.
| David, almost absent-mindedly, asks his mother if she will be joining him later that night to play a certain card game with him and some other residents of Space Station Regula 1. What is the game in question? | "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan," Part 1
|
bridge. David: "Teaming up with me for bridge after dinner?"
| When Chekov and his captain discover living quarters on what they thought was a lifeless planet, Chekov notices a collection of books on a makeshift shelf. Which book is *not* among them? | "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan," Part 1
|
"The Count of Monte Cristo," by Alexander Dumas. "The Count of Monte Cristo" would definitely fit into Khan's obsession with revenge, but it is not one of the books seen on his shelf. Khan quotes from "Moby Dick" liberally throughout the film.
