Interesting Questions, Facts, and Information
ST VI: The Undiscovered Country
Nicholas Meyer. Nicholas Meyer reprised his behind-the-camera role from Star Trek II.
Rotta verso l'ignito. OOOOH! Tough one! You can find the titles in many foreign languages in Bjo Trimble's Trek Concordance (ISBN 0-8065-1610-0) BTW: It means 'Course Toward the Unknown)
Hamlet. Hamlet, ActII, SceneII: 'But that the dread of something after death...the undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveler returns...'
That 70's Show. That's right...that dude with the funky beard is none other than 'Red Forman' on That 70's Show!
How many "conspirators" (that we know of) were involved in the conspiracy to ruin the peace talks between the Federation and Klingons, including the ones hired to kill Kirk and McCoy on Rura Penthe? | Travel to "The Undiscovered Country"...

9. They were: Lt. Valeris, General Chang, Romulan Ambassador Nanclus, Col. West, Adm. Cartwright, Yoeman Burke, Yoeman Samuel, Martia, and the "warden" of Rura Penthe.
50. He says this during the confidential meeting held at Starfleet Headquarters near the beginning of the movie. It was during that same meeting that Spock revealed that the Enterprise will be the "first olive branch" given for the Klingons, much to Kirk's dismay.
William Shakespeare. Chang was very fond of Shakespeare. He quoted plays such as "Hamlet" and "Julius Caesar".
Saavik. According to the "Star Trek Encyclopedia," Saavik was originally supposed to be the helmsman for the Enterprise-A in this movie. Instead, they chose to change it to Valeris. Valeris did pay homage to Saavik's character, though, when she quoted a regulation to Kirk like Saavik did in "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan."
Kronos One. Somebody on Kronos obviously liked the planet's name well enough to name a ship after it. I wonder how many they named? After all, there are plenty of other numbers :)
As FT player robmeister points out, it also could be that it would be similar to Air Force One so when the chancellor is on board, it becomes designated Kronos One. We don't know for sure, but it's likely this is the case.
Bird of Prey. Chang had a Bird of Prey that was outfitted with a special type of cloaking device that let it fire while the ship was still cloaked. That ship was the one that fired on Gorkon's ship from below Enterprise. That way, it seemed as if the Enterprise fired, which would sever any peace ties that the Federation and Klingons were trying to create.
Photon Torpedoes. Chang's Bird-of-Prey could fire photon torpedoes for sure when they were cloaked, and that is how Kronos One was damaged. However, nothing was said in the movie whether or not that the ship could fire phasers, so we don't know if it could or not.
Azetbur. Azetbur was indeed promoted to Chancellor after Gorkon's death. In a way, it makes sense. Azetbur was Gorkon's daughter after all. However, Azetbur is the only woman chancellor that humans know about, so it was also a historic moment. Maybe that's why the peace accords went smoothly. It was a time of firsts. First woman chancellor, and the first peace treaty between humans and Klingons.
Never Land. "Second star to the right, and straight on until morning" -- Kirk, respoding to Chekov's question about a course heading. That is how Tinkerbell tells Peter Pan on how to get to Never Land.
