[@BammerD]

Some of the events in "The Undiscovered Country" were written to parallel real world events. The Klingons vs the Federation was always a mirror of the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States. The destruction of Praxis mirrors the Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster. The treaty between the Federation and Klingons and the ceasing of hostilities (no more Neutral Zone) mirrors the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Cold War. Chancellor Gorkon is played by David Warner, the same actor who played Ambassador St. John Talbot in "Star Trek V". There is a "live action" video game made by Interplay called "Star Trek: Klingon Academy" which Christopher Plummer and David Warner both reprise their roles. The events in the game take place shortly before the events of this movie.

Christopher Plummer and William Shatner were old friends. They worked together in Canada when they were young understudies. Plummer was a Star Trek fan and Shatner pulled a few strings to bring Plummer into the cast. David Warner (Gorkon) was also St. John Talbot on Nimbus II in Star Trek V. He was also a Cardassian in Star Trek: TNG. Brock Peters reprised his role as Admiral Cartwright (from Star Trek IV.) He also played Captain Sisko's father on Deep Space Nine. He was the radio voice of Darth Vader in the old NPR Star Wars radio dramas back in the 1980s. He was also Tom Robinson in the 1962 classic film version of "To Kill a Mockingbird," whose cast had MANY MORE Star Trek connections that continue to this day (Gregory Peck's--Atticus Finch--grandson, Ethan Peck--is our present-day Spock in Discovery and Strange New Worlds, for just ONE example! "To Kill a Mockingbird" was not a Star Trek cast reunion, but a strange pre-union of future Star Trek guest stars. It's uncanny!)

I recommend any video of director Nicholas Meyer speaking. He also wrote The Voyage Home, and wrote and directed Wrath of Khan. He was ignorant of Star Trek ("the pointy ear guy") when he took over Wrath of Khan, writing the complete screenplay, without credit, in 12 days based on a collection of former drafts with different stories. He has turned into one of the franchise's most staunch defenders. His first movie, Time After Time (1979) also stars David Warner, and is a time travel story along the lines of The Voyage Home. His TV film, The Day After (1983) remains one of the most realistic depictions of the effects of nuclear war, and was watched by something like 100 million people the night it aired, still a record in its class.

[@wrorchestra1]

We all know that Mr. Data is a Sherlock Holmes fan, but in real life, this movie's director--Nicholas Meyer--is a Sherlock Holmes fan, too. (He was inducted into the Sherlock Holmes society, The Baker Street Irregulars.) Meyer also directed "The Wrath of Khan" and wrote "The Voyage Home." He's also associated with "Star Trek: Discovery." Regarding Sherlock Holmes, Meyer wrote the Holmes novel, "The Seven-Per-Cent Solution," three sequel novels, and the screenplay for its 1976 movie adaptation. That movie featured three actors who eventually co-starred together in the ST--TNG episode, "Family." Meyer has noted similarities between Holmes and Kirk (whereas most people compare Holmes with Spock.) Meyer observed that both Sherlock Holmes and Jim Kirk grow bored, restive, and frustrated whenever they're not engaged in some case, mission, or adventure. Once they're on the case, they both come alive! Meyer also directed the 1979 film, "Time After Time" which featured future Star Trek film co-stars Malcolm McDowall and David Warner. That movie was also peppered with several Sherlock Holmes in-jokes! Meyer snuck in a Sherlock Holmes homage in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country when Spock remarks, "An ancestor of mine once said, 'Eliminate the impossible and whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.'" That "ancestor" of Spock's was the human, Sherlock Holmes and that quote was one of Holmes' most famous maxims!

The box provided for the (commandant?) on Rura Penthe.... reminiscent of the box for Colonel Saito in "The Bride on the River Kwai". So is the Klingon's speech.

[@BigTone_1701]

Great catch; I missed that and I've seen "Bridge on the River Kwai" a few times!

[@oobrocks]

This is an excellent film… I especially love the Shakespeare references….to be or…not to be 😊❤🎉

[@davidgradwell8830]

And its other Hamlet reference, "The Undiscovered Country." It's the most Shakespearean Star Trek story since TOS' "The Conscience of the King"--another title that's a Hamlet quote!

[@oobrocks]

Thank u!

[@bjgandalf69]

Cami, yes Leonard directed both 3 and 4.

[@thomasnieswandt8805]

I dont know, if anyone said it yet.... In the beginning, when Admiral Cartwright (the black Admiral) is giving his hateful, rasist speech, about the Klingons, that scene was written for a black actor, to make it extra haunting. Also, Brock Peters, the actor of Admiral Cartwright, who himself lived through secregation and rasism in his youth, was so disgusted by the Monologe. He couldnt read it in one take. He needed to stop after every sentense.

[@SeanBlader]

I've seen this one enough times that I could replay the opening theme in my head as Cami read the credits. Favorite cameo in a movie of all time, Christian Slater on the Excelsior.

[@elizandropedraza1286]

The next Star trek movie called Generations and first contact .Those two are great star trek films , but you have to watch the next generation series little bit more to understand the story lines of those movies and the rest that follows those star trek films as well 🍿 👍.

[@Area51byDaveReale]

Kirk`s smile at the dinner scene was like "Yeah, this is exactly how I expecting it to go." :)

[@asterix7842]

Yes, that line at the end was from Peter Pan. 28:16 Christian Slater was a big Trekkie, and for the final movie with the original cast, he asked his agent to get him part. He said he didn't care if it was a cameo, he just wanted to be part of it. The Klingon defense council was played by Michael Dorn, who also played Worf, a major character in The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine series. I've really enjoyed watching these movies with you. If you haven't seen the original series, I'd recommend you go back and watch those. The next movie is the first one featuring the Next Generation cast, though a few of the original cast do make appearances. If you decide to continue with them, I'll be here for it.

[@mark_p300]

Christian Slater also had an 'in' to get a cameo in this movie: his mother Mary Jo was the casting director 😄 2:54

[@davidgradwell8830]

Yes. Colonel Worf is likely Mogh's father and Worf's grandfather. Camp Khitomer would be where the Klingon/Federation Khitomer Accords were drawn up, creating their great alliance and fulfilling the prophecy of the Organians that the two powers would one day work together as fast friends.

[@hisdudeness8328]

Fun fact: the Klingon defense attorney was played by Michael Dorn. He did such an excellent job that he was brought in for the new Star Trek series as ‘Worf’, great grandson of the defense councilor that we see here.

[@jesusbauer8861]

He was alrady on TNG when Star Trek VI came out.

[@IntergalacticDustBunny]

ST:VI came out in 1991, TNG started in 1987. Michael Dorn was brought in as a sort of "Easter Egg" for fans and to reinforce the bridge between TOS and TNG in a sense.

[@BrotherDerrick3X]

Actually he played Worf's grandfather (his father's father).

[@nicholasregan6526]

I learned about General Chang's eyepatch from the computer game Klingon Academy, he was a professor at that school, makes Starfleet look like candy land, and Chang boarded a fellow Klingon vessel, challenged the captain to a fight to the death, the captain scoffed this isn't the academy, we are not your students, then Chang retorted, you flaunt your cowardice in front of your men?? Then of course, the captain finally relented and fought, he gouged out Chang's eye, but Chang killed the Captain in the end. Won the respect of the crew, helped stopped the brief war between the houses,

[@demonofelru3214]

I have that game. Never finished it it was tough.

[@ChrisReise]

20:03 Kirk and McCoy are holding a universal translator to their ears...even though Christopher Plummer is speaking English, it's for OUR benefit, he's actually speaking Klingon...there was not enough time for some of the actors to learn the Klingon language. The man you heard translating it is Todd Bryant, he played Commander Klaa ("I....apologize".) in "Star Trek V"

[@ChrisReise]

2:56 Fun Fact: Mary Jo Slater who is the casting director for this film is Christian Slater's mother.

[@sarcasticstartrek7719]

"Let them die, did I misinterpret?" " but that was private..." if you watch the scene very carefully, when Kirk is talking to Spock, there is someone in the shadows listening in - right at the back.

[@christopheryochum3602]

Cami! There's actually one more movie with some of the original cast (Kirk, Scotty, and Checkov), directly following this one: "Star Trek: Generations." Please keep going. Really enjoyed your reaction. :)

[@Progger11]

She needs to have seen enough TNG prior to that film to really give the proper context. Patience. She'll get there. :)

[@karter95]

​@Progger11 at the bare minimum. Encounter at Farpoint. Best of Both Worlds and the next episode Family but that's the bare minimum

[@chrissmith7669]

I can’t stand generations. I’ll always think of VI as the last of the original crew

[@karter95]

@@chrissmith7669 VI really is the last with the original crew. Generations is ok it’s not awful but as a whole it’s an ok movie there are aspects I like. First Contact is my overall favorite movie

[@chrissmith7669]

@@karter95 lol. I think Generations tried to hard to be a bridge to nowhere.

[@RobXHEphotosPs37.29]

Better than the last movie, great reaction, thanks Cami !

[@jimlight5137]

45:50 “second star to the right and straight on till morning” is a quote from Peter Pan.

[@demonofelru3214]

A rare reaction to this gem! To me its the best of the original movies and a great sendoff for the crews final voyage. I still get emotional seeing the Excelsior and Enterprise parting ways. Yeah the movie was made with it being the crews final voyage in mind. Its a fitting end to. Great film and great reaction!

[@shallowgal462]

****PLEASE**** continue with the four _Next Generation_ films!!!

[@captproton1015]

This movie gets me all sort of ways... To understand The Klingons, you have to wish them to die. But in the End, they truly understand from there point of view. Also, at the end of the Movie when they said they want them back at Stardock to be decommissioned the ship- If you look closely at Kirk, you can see his shed a Tear. Very Heartbreaking Emotional..

[@ChrisReise]

21:21 Fun Fact: Kirk and McCoy's lawyer is played by Michael Dorn, his name in this movie is Commander Worf. Michael Dorn also plays his grandson, Worf in "Star Trek: The Next Generation".

[@jonathanroberts-bj7yl]

Where’s The next generation films?

[@zacharylewis2802]

Christopher Plummer was cast as Chang as a favor for Shatner. They had known each other since 1948, when they attended the same acting school in Montreal. Shatner wanted his final adversary to be someone he had a personal relationship with.
