in his biography "I am Spock", Nimoy talks about his approach to directing this and 3. The key is he learned from his time on the Mission Impossible (incidentally filmed on the same studio as Star Trek so when that ended, he joked that that he got that role because he kept showing up) tv series how to structure something with an ensemble cast in a way that gives everyone something meaningful to do.

Some member of the cast (perhaps Leonard Nimoy) remarked during a convention appearance that the "regular people" (not cast members) walking the streets of 20th century San Francisco during filming didn't even seem to notice the cast in their odd outfits. Most of the "Cetacean Institute" indoor scenes were filmed at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Most of the outdoor scenes (except when Gillian confronts Spock) were filmed on movie sets built to look like the outside deck of the Aquarium. I was lucky enough to actually be at the Aquarium during the 3 days they filmed there, and saw much of the action from vantage points just out of camera range. They did not close the Aquarium during filming; they simply roped off the areas they were using. (The guy hosing down part of the concrete in the background during one scene was a local actor whom I used to know.) And the only real whales in the entire movie were the ones breaching at the very end. Everything else was either CGI or (in the case of the mind meld) a full-size model of a whale's head. There is no such tank at the Aquarium. The outdoor version of the whale tank is actually a tidepool, and its actual appearance is what they showed in the film as the emptied tank with the whales gone. The water that filled it when the whales were present was done by CGI.

“That's so traditional, I love it!" There's a reason why the musical score for Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home sounds so different from the previous films. James Horner, who composed the music for Star Trek II and III, was unavailable to work on Star Trek IV, as he was working on James Cameron's Aliens, which earned Horner an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Score in 1986. So director Leonard Nimoy hired long time Hollywood composer Leonard Roseman, who got his start composing the music for the James Dean films East of Eden and Rebel Without a Cause in 1955. Roseman's score for Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Score in 1986 alongside James Horner for Aliens.

The reason why Saavik stays is more explained in the novelisaiton and a Deleted scene: She was Pregnant with Spock's child from their encounter on Genesis!..Yeah, THAT SCENE! The Klingon Bird of Prey is as Iconic as the Enterprise itself! The "Nuclear Wressel" scene was made better by the lady who helped them. She was a dog walker who just happedn to walk into the frame. She didn't know what was going on. She had to be chased down to get permission to use her in the movie! Eddie Murphy was orginally gonna be in the movie as a college professor who believed in aliens and ended up encountering the Enterprise crew.

My favorite Trek movie! I love watching the crew wander around the 80's ("Nuclear wessels" "Hello computer...") and it's such a simple mission with a beautiful message about preservation/conservation of nature. In future iterations of Trek, many classes of starship, including the TNG Enterprise, have a cetacean ops deck (where 🐬 and 🐋 work 🥰)

I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area during the 80s and 90s, so this has always been one of my favorite movies. I've hiked across nearly all of SF over the years, so seeing all these familiar places is always a fun experience. The idea that they could just leave a cloaked spaceship parked in the middle of Golden Gate Park never fails to get a chuckle out of me; it was actually Will Rogers State Park down in LA. 13:21 I've walked across that intersection hundreds, if not thousands of times. 14:24 That's just about a block northwest, across the street from City Lights. 14:27 That's a few more blocks more northwest, and Columbus and Mason, by the North Beach Library. 15:22 The "Cetacean Institute in Sausalito" was actually the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and this film was the reason I wanted to visit it. 17:07 Same goes with Fort Point; I saw this in the movie as a kid, and knew I had to see it in person someday. I did so as a photographer decades later, and it became one of my favorite shots. 18:01 This is at Marina Green and the Yacht Harbor, just a short walk away from the Palace of Fine Arts and Fort Mason. Nice place for a morning walk. 23:13 This whole bit with Chekov's capture and rescue is still one of the funniest parts of any Star Trek film. Kirk's trial and "punishment" is such a fitting ending. How this will affect the story later on... Well, you'll see.

I grew up closer to Monterey than San Francisco, so I've been to the Aquarium a bunch of times. When I saw it in Star Trek 4, I did the Leonardo Dicaprio pointing meme thing - "Hey! I recognize that place! That's NOT in San Francisco!"

My mom, who never watched an episode of "Star Trek' in her life, watched this movie with me and she thought it was WONDERFUL! That just proves the science fiction genre knows no bounds of age or demographics if you have a great story with great characters!

"George & Gracie" -- a reference to George Burns and Gracie Allen. Gracie was George's wife, and the two had a comedy radio show in the 40's and 50's, with a recurring bit of Gracie running for president. George was born in 1895 and was still working when this movie came out -- he passed away in 1996 at 100. Gracie, sadly, passed away in 1964, and for the next 32 years George would end his shows with "Goodnight, Gracie, where ever you are."

My dad's fav by far is ST4. In 1989 a new multi-plex opened and on opening day they had the first 4 Star Trek movies back to back to back to back. It was a glorious day.

I love how the crew works together, each character getting good screen time. It's amazing to think that the Cold War was still going on. It makes Chekov's arc more interesting. Looking forward to your next Star Trek reaction.

The ideal Star Trek movie, IMO. No villains, little focus on spectacle - it’s all about the characters we love, and the causes they fight for and believe in. And it’s funny! This is the movie that made 7-year-old me a fan for life.

I love this movie, it brings tears of joy every time. I saw all the TOS movies in the theater and this one was the most uplifting. I adore your reactions to Star Trek, Jen, keep up the great work!

Recommended: _Time After Time_ (1979) - the HG Wells vs Jack The Ripper caper from _Star Trek II_ director & _Star Trek IV_ co-writer Nicholas Meyer. Some of _STIV's_ jokes are leftovers from Meyer's earlier time travel classic. _Voyage Home_ is a *perfect movie* - _none_ of it should work & it's a testament to Nimoy's skill, humanity, & intelligence that it does. So rewatchable. The popularity of _IV_ in 1986 is what greenlit _The Next Generation._

Even though this is the least 'space' Star Trek, this is by far the most fun movie of the whole franchise. I remember seeing it as a kid in the theatre and by the end the whole crowd was giving a standing ovation because we had such a good time.

This was a brilliant movie, good messages, great entertainment and good fun. Every trek movie highlights the great relationship between this crew, it’s wonderful.

Spock not working "on all thrusters" is already better than your ordinary starfleet officer.

I always loved McCoy's line to Spock, "You really have gone where no man has gone before" when talking about a "frame of reference". Also, there was a theory that Saavik stayed on Vulcan because she was pregnant with Spock's child having performed Pon Farr with him in Part III.

Trivia: The Enterprise A was an unnamed ship designated to be the USS Atlantis NCC 1786. (so many fans say it was the Yorktown) but it was named Enterprise A at the last minute.

I've read someplace that the woman that approached Uhura and Chekov on the street, and told them the port is in Alameda, was NOT in the cast, she literally just saw them and wanted to help. The production thought it was wonderful, so they kept the scene in and got her a contract/some small pay for the scene.

This is my favorite of all the star trek movies. Its just so much fun to watch. Thanks for the awesome reaction!

This has to be the best of them all. For all the characters to have their moments meant a lot to Sulu and Chekov who rarely had to deliver any more than the same old lines. Jen's top comment of the day? "That was a distressing distress call." Cracked me up as usual. So many funny moments in this movie. Unfortunately they let Shatner write and direct the 5th and it's rather embarrassing, but the 6th is worth a look and a chance for Jen to practice her Klingon. :D Thanks as always Jen. xx

14:52 - Leonard Nimoy said he got the scene idea when he was shopping and somebody was in a store being rude with their boombox. He said he REALLY wished the Vulcan neck pinch existed in real life.

The same guy (and actor) show up in one of the new Star Trek shows from 2022.

Another piece of trivia - the punk on the bus is Kirk Thatcher was also was a producer of this film. The song he's playing is one he and his garage band recorded in one day just for the movie. He has a cameo in Star Trek Picard doing the same scene 35 years later.

One of the enterprises best time travel adventures and a great movie

"Can't you remember?" "The hell I can't." I'm with you Spock. 😂

It's debatable...but the best part might be when McCoy gives that woman on dialysis the pill (to cure her) and she immediately just takes it. It always cracks me up. 🤣

Because of the computer scene, JD was asked to appear in commercials for computers, so he did! 😎

My favorite StarTrek movie of all time. Interesting interaction with 20th century earthlings, fun plot and lots of colorful metaphors.

Still in Spain, Jen. And yet, Istill couldn't help but tune in to watch this reaction. You never disappoint. You remain as endearing and cute as ever. You are Canada's sweetheart. 🥰🥰🤭🤭😘😘 xxx

This is my favorite of the Franchise with the original crew. I loved it because the whole crew got an important task to do. It also shows you don't need action sequences to tell a great star trek story and the humor was great in this one. [faced with a 20th century computer] Scotty: Computer! Computer? [He's handed a mouse, and he speaks into it] Scotty: Hello, computer. Dr. Nichols: Just use the keyboard. Scotty: Keyboard. How quaint. 😂😂😂

This one is absolutely my favorite Star Trek movie. The plot is really fun, but what makes it stand out is the character interactions. Just behind are ST2 and ST6, but I just love this one.

Definitely the most rewatchable of the Star Treks. The whole bit on Earth in the 80s is great

Definitly the funniest TOS movie, I always loved how everything is a pre-destination paradox, like the glasses or the transparent aluminum (which is a real thing, btw).

Aluminum oxynitride is a transparent ceramic composed of aluminum, oxygen and nitrogen.

Glad you liked it! This one, with Wrath of Kahn, is the most memorable for me. Maybe the fact that it always seemed to pass on local tv, on a slow Saturday afternoon, as something to do with it! On to the next! To go where no Jen has gone before!

Time travel Star Trek is always fun! I Luv this movie! Can't wait for the next one. Beam me up Jen! 🖖 great reaction! Luv ya jen❤💛

Funny bit of trivia - the cop that Chekov asks for "nuclear wessels" was a real cop that wasn't an actor. The look of confusion on his face is real and Nimoy (also director) left the clip in the movie

While Wrath of Khan is the best of the original 6 movies this one has always been my favorite. Also in a previous Star Trek video you talked about Leonard Nimoy having a great voice well you may be surprised to know he did do some singing after becoming famous from the original TV series. Even did a song about The Hobbit, The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins!

Leonard Nimoy Presents Mr. Spock's Music from Outer Space is the debut album of Leonard Nimoy, recorded in character as Mr. Spock from the NBC TV series Star Trek. It was released in April 1967 by Dot Records and reached number 83 on the Billboard 200.

I had the good fortune of seeing this on opening day in Toronto, people in the line got a special program for the film that I still have to this day. Watching this show in a theatre with hardcore Trek fans was something I will never forget, they cheered at every cast member’s name as it appeared, laughed at every joke and inside reference and best of all the end scene when they flew towards USS Excelsior and the crowd were crying “NOOOO!!! NOOOO!!!” And then it suddenly banked up to reveal the new Enterprise…the theatre shook from the cheers and screams of joy I’ve never seen or felt the like since.

Oh, I saw ST4 opening night in Kentucky - the theater was packed, with people standing in the back. The applause when Spock and Sarek reconciled was heartwarming. And yes, the big reveal of Enterprise-A was like a bomb exploding in the theater!

The sheer joy this movie can elicit even in a non-Trekkie is almost beyond believing (especially if one has first seen the two previous films). There was such a positive energy in the theater when the credits rolled and the jubilant audience filed noisily up the aisle that I can only compare it to the stunned exaltation in the wake of seeing *Star Wars* for the first time, back in '77. I personally love, in particular, the moment of the sudden sonic transition from the cool humming of the ship's interior to the rattle and clatter of the garbage truck's diesel engine. Talk about making one feel on a level with ancient Egypt...or even Newton's England. I also feel, personally, that 19th-century whaling was a profession as perilous to life and limb as any one could look for. But if there _had_ to be whaling, that would be the proper way to do it, with the men every bit as much at risk as the beast. Where's the sport in just blasting away with a fieldpiece, high and dry on deck? It'd be a harrowing job, with an awful casualty rate but, by Godfrey, it must temper a human spirit every bit as much as the army, or the mines, or space travel. (Or, as they said in the bad old days, "It makes _men!"_ ) So very glad you caught some of that old jubilation, Jen. Keep going, and success in your endeavors. 😉

Most under-appreciated side plot is this movie being released during the Cold War, having Chekov, the Russian descendant, asking for directions to the US Navy nuclear 'wessels'

My favorite Star Trek movie.

I think this was when Whaling was a very big issue. If I recall this was to bring attention to what was happening at the time.

I love Star Trek, I really loved this one so much I read the book. Jen you made it more fun for me than even the first time I saw it in theater. I how no words to express the gratitude I feel for you to make me enjoy it more that first time. I say thank you knowing how short the words are for how you helped me feel. Live long and prosper Jen Murray 🖖🌹🥰

Great reaction, Jen! So they wanted James Horner to return for this but he was already committed to “Aliens”. I think the “modern” soundtrack really fit the movie. On to Star Trek V…😬

Leonard Rosenman's score for ST-IV was my least favorite of the original films. But I can see how the producers maybe wanted something that sounded a little more "mainstream", since they were hoping to expand the audience for this film beyond the typical sci-fi fans.

How many of us are thinking... 'Uh don't pay too much attention to 5. Hey look over there! It's The Undiscovered Country!' I guess I should just be happy we're going to finish the original films on a high note. If you compare it to 5, it's almost as good as 2 & 4.

Knew you'd love it! This is THE feel-good Star Trek movie. Did you stop to realize that they were going back in time in a vehicle they got from Christopher Lloyd?

Doc in his travels once got delayed awhile being stuck in a mental institution with Jack Nicholson.

i am 64 been watching your reactions, it is great to see a trekkie born.

There’s a meme that gets posted in the Trek fandom groups every now and then, pointing out that Kirk and his crew stole a Klingon ship from Christopher Lloyd and turned it into a time machine. There were two episodes of the original series where the Enterprise went back to our time (well, the 1960s). One was an accident: “Tomorrow is Yesterday.” The other, “Assignment: Earth,” featured Teri Garr, and was meant as a potential pilot for a spinoff series. 20:10 The crazy thing is, they *have* developed “transparent aluminum” - or at least, an aluminum-based ceramic. 34:41 Note the number: NCC-1701-A. It’s in the official Star Trek canon that it’s because of this specific incident that Starfleet declared that there would always be an Enterprise, and all future Enterprises, instead of getting new numbers, just get new letter suffixes. The ship in “The Next Generation” is the Enterprise D.

always enjoy the excitement and enthusiasm that Jen brings to her reactions

My favorite of the movies with original cast.

Great dialogue. I like how in the beginning the computer asks Spock how he feels and his mother explains the question to him and at the end his father asks if he has a message for his mother and Spock says to tell her "I feel fine".

My high school had a tradition of showing a movie the day before Xmas break. This was the film that year

I love that Jen loves Star Trek; and I'm not even a big Star Trek fan. 🤷‍♂️🤣

The scene with Checkov and Uhura looking for directions on the city streets was improvised. The ladies response was so perfect they left it in.

What a nerdy sweetheart! Jen reacted to every part of this movie almost exactly like I did back in 1986

My favorite line from Jen when Uhura and Chekov are on their mission to get the "nuke stuff", "Can dogs smell beaming?" 😂❤

When i started watching Star Trek, this was by far the most fun movie and my favorite. I love Star Trek 4, its just so enjoyable to watch.

This is absolutely the most fun of the original crew Trek movies.

Did anyone notice Majel Barrett as Commander Chapel? Or Madge Sinclair (Lion King & Coming to America) as the Saratoga Captain? I LOVE this movie! 2, 3, & 4 are my favorites! I saw this one at theater with my best friend when it came out! I watched the old series and the cartoon! I love Star Trek! ❤️

Watching your reaction video took me back to the late 20th-century, 1986 to be precise, when I saw this movie in theaters, carrying a plastic toy phaser squirt-gun from the 1970's (although I was a little old for such things, I was 14 when the movie came out, wow!), and surprising my friend when, upon hearing the "modulated" frequencies, recognized this as whale song! (my parents had record album "Songs of the Humpback Whales"). Such fun memories. It is interesting, that watching reaction vidoes could provide such vicarious pleasure and nostalgia. We humans are fascinatingly emotional creatures.
