Trivia:
One of the boys who plays young Spock, had to wear brown colored contact lenses to match the color of Leonard Nimoy's eyes as the boy's natural eye color was blue. moreGoofs:
Continuity: When Valkris, the Klingon spy, first approaches the freighter captain from behind, we can only see the bottom portion of her torso. We cannot see her face, but there definitely is something covering her front. However, when we see her face in the next shot, her face and torso are uncovered. moreQuotes:
[first lines][Spock's dying words, repeated from the previous film]
Captain Spock: Don't grieve, Admiral. It is logical. The needs of the many outweigh...
Kirk: ...the needs of the few.
Captain Spock: Or the one. I have been and always shall be your friend. Live long and prosper.

FAQ
Why did Kirk destroy the Enterprise just to kill a few Klingons? Couldn't he have just shot them on the transporter pad?Why does Morrow say that the Enterprise is 20 years old? The Star Trek Chronology clearly says that it's more like 45 years old in this movie.
Was the Enterprise's bridge set redressed for the other Federation ships we see in this movie?

A decent entry into the Star Trek motion picture saga. McCoy is going over the edge, and it seems that Spock melded his spirit into McCoy's body shortly before dying in the Wrath of Khan. Kirk must travel to an unstable planet to try and find Spock's body in an effort to rescue his old friend and end all three men's suffering. If you are a fan of the series, you might find some things to like about this movie. I recommend it.
