? Wrath of Khan Quick-Fire Trivia
- The “Same Room” Illusion: Despite their legendary rivalry, William Shatner and Ricardo Montalbán never met on set. Their entire interaction was filmed via viewscreen, with their scenes shot months apart.
- The Fake Chest Controversy: Fans were convinced Ricardo Montalbán wore a prosthetic chest piece. He didn’t. At 61 years old, he was simply in incredible shape and did hundreds of push-ups a day to maintain his “Genetically Superior” physique.
- A “Familiar” Face: Paul Winfield (Captain Terrell) and Ike Eisenmann (Peter Preston) both appeared in this film, but Winfield would later return to Star Trek lore as the legendary Captain Dathon in the TNG episode “Darmok.”
- The Budget Saver: To save money, the bridge of the USS Reliant is actually just the Enterprise bridge set with different lighting, different seat covers, and a few control panels moved around!
- Kirstie Alley’s Vulcan Ears: This was Kirstie Alley’s film debut. She was so excited about the role that she reportedly slept in her Vulcan ears the first night she got them because she didn’t want to take them off.
- The “One Glove” Mystery: Khan wears a single glove on his right hand. While it looks like an 80s fashion choice, it was actually a practical way to hide the fact that Montalbán had a small injury on his hand during filming—but it ended up becoming an iconic part of the character’s look.
- The Title Swap: The movie was originally going to be called The Revenge of Khan, but the title was changed to The Wrath of Khan because Lucasfilm was working on a movie called Revenge of the Jedi (which eventually became Return of the Jedi).
- Saavik’s Heritage: In the original script and deleted scenes, it is revealed that Saavik is half-Vulcan and half-Romulan. This explains why she is more emotional and “tears up” during Spock’s funeral.
Why is Phil “P-Diddy” McGraw starring in the segment of Scams and Scandals?
This is a reflection of McGraw’s transition from ‘America’s Doctor’ to a ‘Media Gangster.’ It highlights the shift from providing advice to engaging in high-stakes corporate shell games, destroying evidence, and the eventual liquidation of his $500 million empire.
