The crew, under the command of Captain Kirk, remains loyal to the end.

[@scottb7539]

I would be. Wouldn't you,?

[@kingsman8475]

@@scottb7539 Hell yeah!

[@jean-mi1825]

ONLY the characters. One of the reasons he's not with the rest of the crew is because he couldn't stand Shatner anymore. They don't actually share any screentime in the film.

[@kingsman8475]

@jean-mi1825 And George whined about way too long. At first, I thought George had a right to air his displeasure, but after 20 years, I thought that is enough. Shatner was the lead. Star Trek needed Shatner, not Takei.

[@brandijoy1]

@@kingsman8475If George didn’t whine about it he would have never gotten to be a captain of his own ship and get some great scenes. I’m glad that all of the characters aren’t on the same ship after all these years. Throws a just little bit of realism in there.

[@jean-mi1825]

He was a fan and his mother was casting director on the film, so he took the chance and asked her.

I read somewhere that he was uncredited for the role, however there he is as “communications officer”.

I always wanted a series or movie with Captain Sulu and the Excelsior.🖖

Never knew Christian Slater was in Star Trek

[@joekeen60]

Christian a a big Trek fan and lobbied for a cameo

[@SailorCallie]

His mother, Mary Jo, was a casting director.

[@Chinfo32]

I love that other Trekkers ask about this specific role to Christian Slater, even after all these years. His most asked about role, love it!!!

[@MaxAbramson3]

Slater was absolutely huge when this movie came out.

[@bigmike2464]

You would be surprised of all the celebs who had roles in the movies and the series as cameos or semi regualr parts, Like Ashley Judd and kelsey Grammar, james Worthy(( NBA)) Tony Todd

[@mattpastell3728]

It was so cool to see Slater in this role. Sulu had the best lines once he sat in the Captain’s chair.

[@robertpolityka8464]

Agreed.. I think it was easier to get good lines from The Captain's Chair.

[@hdjksa52]

I remember this cameo. One of the coolest of the time

[@johnmoreno5965]

A cool surprise appearance. I remember that just like yesterday

[@kevinhines5071]

Yep I rember being like " that dude sounds Christian slater " Best Sulu scene ever ❤

[@EvilTheOne]

Thanks in large part to his mother, Mary Jo Slater; who was the casting director for 'The Undiscovered Country'.

[@ScottMcMaster-er4xj]

Loyal even while carrying out his own command.

[@BruceNewhouse]

Excellent scene with two excellent actors.

[@scottnolan2833]

Even today I would line up to watch a Captain Sulu TV show or movie.

[@michaelpopely4408]

Would be nice to see a show with Christian Slater as a captain. Also at times he see advice from Admiral Sulu.

[@MusicHandsAbrupt]

Sulu deserved his own show.

[@furionmax7824]

Archer: SLATER?! Chris: hey there dum dum.

[@standardnerd9840]

JUST Slater, for the infinitieth time! 😂

[@JD.Knight]

Perfect movie to finish it all.

[@TraceyPruitt]

Sulu shows us many times that Kirk wasn't the only one qualified to sit in the chair.

[@calanon534]

In TOS, he was technically briefly in command of a Task Force. That's a Commodore-level command, and he was a Lieutenant (O-3) at the time. Sulu has always shown us his chops. We just never really got to see them like we should have. Honestly, I wish we'd gotten a mid/late-1980's series of Sulu set in the early 2300's after the Tomed Incident, when he was promoted to Flag Officer of some kind, or a late 1990's series showing Sulu in the run-up to TNG (2340's/2350's) and his wind-down to retirement.

[@williamhaynes4800]

He learned from the best.

[@ElPatron-sw7gb]

Christian Slater stands around like the Fonz. I do not think when you are addressing the captain, you lean against the door jam?

[@ScottMcMaster-er4xj]

He and Sulu must have had a very good working relationship something a kin to Bones and Kirk, to get away with that.

[@markuhler2664]

​@@ScottMcMaster-er4xj Probably so. And he would know the connection with his captain and was waiting for more orders.

[@SnowDaulphin]

Shit. Takei would have had his own series in today’s streaming bonanza.

[@jeffreymcurtis]

Tell it to Paramount

[@SnowDaulphin]

@@jeffreymcurtis I wish they did the animation series reboot in the 90s or before when it was possible with the full cast complement still intact.

[@lotstodo]

The communicator wasn't working? Just decided to walk into the Captain's quarters - while he is sleeping!?

[@justinmartin6976]

Probably would have been on the official record

[@ASKMEABOUTMYGARDEN]

​@justinmartin6976 yup...off the record 💯

[@wongkit9579]

Nah they used artistic licence to give a cameo to Christian Slater.

[@jordancobb509]

I always wondered why Sulu's bed was right by the front door.

[@Chinfo32]

Night Orders, left by the Captain, details when to wake a Captain of any vessel. Also, reports are routinely made to Captains at specified times and what is to be reported by a messenger from the officer of the Deck(OOD). This would be one of those wake up and report.

[@scottb7539]

Anyone who is anyone wanted on the last Star Trek with the original crew

[@gregfisher962]

Christian Slater was in his prime when he made this cameo. I loved that.

[@Chinfo32]

I would have loved seeing more stories with the former Bridge crew in other Star Trek series storylines.

[@jeffreymcurtis]

I am wondering why they didn't continue with Sulu?

[@charlesduit5610]

Sulu should have had his own show .

[@LBCB94025]

*_Definitely my favorite of the first 10 ST movies! And i LOVE the music!!!!_* 😆👍🏻🖤👏🏻🤷🏼 #ST6isBEST!

[@OTatime]

Sulu was an underutilized character. Should have had his own spin off.

[@saquist]

The Movies and Shows were control by 2 different people that never communicated about their works. Harve Bennet helmed the Movies and Rick Berman the shows

[@sdluedtke7803]

Yes

[@MarcelWelter-b2k]

I would have loved to have seen more of Captain Sulu

[@confuseatronica]

I always think the door will open and it will be Captain Whaashisface from III. Also what captain would put his bed where the corridor light shines right in your face ugh.

[@Billinois78]

It's like the old saying: "Shoot first, ask Christian Slater".

[@callinglast]

GOddamn how have I never heard of that one before? LOL!!!

[@albertomadeirajr7824]

You never barge into the Captains quarters without chiming his quarters.

[@VIIC71]

I heard that voice and instantly KNEW! 🖖🏼

[@DesertWolf392]

Really did hope that they made a Sulu movie, hell even a limited series.

[@quinnbeauford2059]

Sulu knows 😊

[@jdp5606]

Such a great movie.

[@WALTERBROADDUS]

Happy birthday a few days ago to Mr Sulu.

[@neildennis7294]

Greeting and salutations, Captain Sulu.

[@hadorstapa]

I love the use of ship's bells in STVI. This is five bells in what is most likely the Middle Watch, given that Sulu is sleeping: 2:30am

[@heetsees]

hahah i love these films with all my heart but this slice is funny cause he just busts in on the Captain! hahahhahha

[@SeptemberRain8888]

[@markpardoe7002]

I love a captain Sulu series 😮

[@Gukworks]

The end of this video is me right now. It's why I am on youtube at this hour...

[@steakknives]

Fun fact Christian Slater and Brent Spiner both had their own air debut on an Anthony horror show called: Tales from the Dark Side. Can't remember the episode name but Slater played a concerned grandson, and Spiner played a pastor. It was an old Western account of a feller too proud to be told he's wrong, even when they tell 'em he's dead.

[@Billinois78]

If you play this in a loop, Christian Slater keeps waking Captain Sulu back up. "What, dammit, WHAT?!"

[@666mengel]

Anyone just walking into ship captain quarters?? Well, the security protocol surely needs some upgrade.

[@amehak1922]

His mom, Mary-Jo Slater, was the casting director, he asked her for a cameo.

[@baldguy3960]

Seen this on its theatrical release, when Slater appeared on screen (close-up) the audience gave a mixed reaction so much so Sulu's line was not heard.

[@MDarkraven]

His mom is Mary Jo Slater, the casting agent for Star Trek VI

[@Teeveepicksures]

Years ago back in LA i woke up to take a leak around 2am. Christian Slater was on the couch with my roomate. I didn't ask, just went back to bed.

[@confuseatronica]

that crewman is also WONKO THE SANE!!!! (i'm not even kidding, Slater played Wonko The Sane in that NPR funded radio play of the later chapters of Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy.)

[@Dim4323]

I didnt know that was him Sulu: oh my.

[@rjj5075]

And Christian Slater was never seen again.

[@alandouglas2789]

Never knew George Takei was in Star Trek 😮 - Will Shatner

[@ruthmiller1406]

Way 2 go Capt. Sulu! I salute u ....Kudo's!!! He probably does know ...but won't indulge! Its kinda hard to believe William shatner & George takai didn't get along b4 stuc ( star trek: the undiscovered country!!)

[@kevinn4038]

The directors cut had Sulu waking up with Scotty, with the dialogue "Im goving it all I got Sulu, if I push it any harder itll blow", but the studio thought that was a little too on the nose.

[@interestedobserver587]

"Oh my"

[@dieseljester3466]

The reason Christian Slater was in ST6 is because he was such a Trek fan and his mother is Mary Jo Slater who was doing casting for it. Supposedly, from what I've heard, Christian Slater told his mom "You don't even have to give me acting credit for it. Just let me put on a uniform and have a line or two."

[@702ringo1]

Loyalty-to the end.❤️👍🚀

[@geraldstiling3735]

Captain Kirk and Captain Jack Sparrow....Did crazy stuff😮 ...But always pulled it off ..Some How❤

[@THEMAX00000]

Oh My

[@PetesGhias]

Before Takei went on the Stern Show and became a hammy social media icon.

[@whatever8282828]

I'm glad my bed isn't right next to the exterior door of my apartment!

[@gregbolitho9775]

Nice 1, I forgot Christian Slater was on board Excelsior, with George Takei, Original Sulu. Bit of a part for a good actor.

[@patricktilton5377]

"Oh, my!"

[@donaldpaluga]

Shocked he never appeared on B5, as Mary Jo Slater also was the casting director for the show

[@LightingSparks82]

Apparently he said his trousers where a pair Shatners it had a wardrobe label in them.

[@ShannonFreng]

I read Takei didn't like that his screen time, in the movies, was so limited. I guess they tried to rectify that, in this one.

[@jasontovar1776]

They should have had Sulu in more scenes fighting alongside his old crew mates. This is something Kirk would have totally done. Sulu learned so much from Kirk and the others. First and foremost..... LOYALTY and if your FRIENDS are in a fight and shits about to go down...... Screw the orders you go and back them up!

[@Locutus]

Sulu's quarters are pretty small. I seem to recall that the Style's quarters were also small? Smaller than the Constitution's officer's quarters.

[@Beau74]

Would be kinda awkward to just enter the captain's quarters like that and he's in the middle of rubbing one out. Freaking knock, man!

[@Saltybuher]

Wow Excelsior has appalling Captain’s accommodation compared to Pike’s Enterprise or even Kirk’s TOS one.

[@RogueWJL]

Brilliant movie.

[@gregorydahl]

As soon as he lays down again that guy opens the door .

[@kagomecc461]

🎉❤😂 remember NIMBUS 3. This will come up again later in the TNG Series

[@SCSuperheavy114]

Then he went on to be the spokesman for Sabre printers

[@kevinfitz8516]

Thats clearly a young Jack Nicholson talking 😂

[@josephhebert7740]

Don't mess with Sulu. Would have loved had he had his own spin off. EDIT STARDATE 05/30/24 Better idea. Sulu and Kelsey Grammer. As Captain would have made a great combo for a spin off.

[@randybentley2633]

You've got to know that Monster Maroon went home with him.

[@TileGuyJesse]

Slater still playing the clueless kid.

[@chereecargill355]

I wish they'd done a Sulu series. He's awesome

[@russell5078084]

At least by this time sulu got rid of the eye mole.

[@Aeroldoth3]

Excuse me, George Takei? What is it Christian Slater? Kelsey Grammar wants to talk to you. Tell him Kirstie Alley isn't in this film.

[@williamhaynes4800]

Nice to see (hear) that Star Fleet has kept the US Navy's bells system. He woke Sulu at 5 bells.

[@thomashogan9196]

"Captain Kirk didn't come to my wedding. Not even a greeting card for my husband, and we were registered at Tiffany's. I don't give a damn where Enterprise is. They can all fry in Hades for all I care."

[@kagomecc461]

Slater wasn't the first choice. Another was cast for this bit roll. But that guy died. I think they was friends. Not sure on that part. I recall Slater saying he is a Fan of the franchise. He would donate the money he made to charity. Is coincidence that his mother was this movie project? Probably. But it certainly helped eh. ❤

[@badllama8090]

[@sergedeleon9592]

Its like dialogue of Data

[@19brittani]

Oh My!!!

[@dougclark8219]

I think it's sad we have to settle for as small a scene as this to show us George Takei is capable of so much more than just sitting at helm, or just giving tersely-worded orders. The nuance here really makes Sulu feel like a real person and not just a character we've known and loved for, like, 60 years.
