Star Trek 4: The Voyage Home (8/10) Movie CLIP - Interrogating Chekov (1986) HD

[@joelopez1144]

I served on this ship at this time, One of our squads were chosen for this part in the movie. The ship was USS Ranger, although for the movie the ships name was changed to USS Enterprise.

[@d0802]

When was that filmed, 85? You can tell they're Marines, and you can tell when it was filmed: M16A1s and steel helmets...and spit-shined boots.

[@margotrosendorn6371]

I always wondered, was the chase scene basically a drill with cameras or did they change up procedures for the movie? Either way, the squad looks like they had fun.

[@jameshisself9324]

Yo shipmate! I was also onboard Ranger at the time and was lucky enough to be in the scene and even got personal direction from Leonard Nimoy. I did some cool stuff in Naval Aviation but this might have been the highlight of my career! Lol

[@jameshisself9324]

@@margotrosendorn6371 I was there and actually appear in this scene. It was all scripted from the film makers, nothing procedural about it other than MARDET did many drills that looked similar. There were many different takes shot with different camera view emphasis, the Marines were getting pretty tired of doing it over and over by the end.

@@Djarra Old antique torture methods would make even the most hardened 21st century man talk. If the military wanted somebody to talk in 1986 they had several ways of making you do it, doesn't matter what century you're from and what kind of "training" you've had. Besides, truth serums could make anybody spill the details about their latest infidelity and how they desire their boss's wife let alone tell them who they really are. You're missing the entire point of the scene here. It's a vast cultural difference and how people communicate in 1986 and the 23rd century. It's played for laughs because Chekov completely misunderstands what they're saying because he can't read between the lines and pick up nuances - certainly not those from 1986. Besides, Chekov has always been written as slightly clueless in regards to many things even in his own time as he makes a fool out of himself by drawing the wrong conclusions.

I remember reading a behind-the-scenes interview about this scene. Checkov's panic is quite real; the extras in this scene were all actual soldiers and crewmen and he wasn't sure what would happen if they actually caught him. It's a moment of pure NOPE as a horde of jarheads are after him.

[@Frankie2012channel]

Except the correct term is Sailors or Seaman and then the Marines (security contingent). Soldiers are Army, though 'crewmen' is non specific and 'sometimes' is used in all branches.

[@danielmcgillis270]

On a ship that big, everybody is just going about their daily grind. They never even saw him, or if they would have they would have just got out of the way. That is what the ship's security unit is for.

[@twoeightythreez]

On a carrier, non security personnel are trained to get out of the way, particularly during an intruder alert scenario. You are trained to do exactly what they did. Get out of the way or get run over. If an unusual person out of uniform runs past you also do what they did. You hit the deck so the security can see where the intruder is going and also to avoid getting in line of fire if it comes to that. During a security alert, it will be assumed that if you are moving, and not ship's security, you are part of the threat. A carrier crew is far too big for anyone to know who's who in the entire crew. People rotate in and out constantly. The crew is over 5000 people. A carrier is really more like working in a large industrial plant than a military unit. Most of the people are just doing thier jobs. FWIW the security department alone on a Carrier is larger than some smaller ships' ENTIRE CREW. Speaking from experience as both normal ships company of the Nimitz as well as security forces (i was TAD to ship's security for over a year)

[@michaelpotts1131]

Chekov’s interrogation tactics are STRONG! He knew that they thought he was going to be crazy, so he played to it.

[@cyflym11]

Also he knew they were interrogating him with the door wide open LOL.

[@jjgillmen]

In the military, if one is taken prisoner the protocol is for the POW to give his full name, rank, and service number. Nothing more, nothing less. They're trained not to crack in the face of the enemy.

[@KeiFox]

In one of the novels, Gary Seven and Roberta Lincoln recovered the Klingon phaser (which was sent to Area 51) before it could be studied.

[@KeiFox]

Chekov handled the start of the interrogation extremely well. His gave his name, rank, affiliation and service number. That's standard procedure for captured officers to reveal only that much to their interrogators. As for leaving the Klingon tech behind, a novel "The Rise and Fall of Khan Noonien Singh, Volume 1" explains that the Klingon tech was sent to Area 51, where it was recovered by Gary Seven and Roberta Lincoln, before it could be studied, preventing the timeline from being altered.

[@PaperbackWizard]

I'd've thought, since the items were clearly damaged beyond use, that they'd have just ended up in a box in a base that eventually got destroyed in the Eugenics Wars (which *used* to take place in the 1990s, but now apparently have moved to later in the timeline).

[@TheLAGopher]

@@PaperbackWizard Even if the objects were not functional,their electronics and metallurgy would have still given away technical advances. They are an even bigger source of future tech contamination than leaving the formula for transparent Aluminum. As for the Eugenics wars,its likely that all the various trek time travel over multiple series resulted in a sliding timeline, sort of like the Terminator films where Judgement Day kept getting pushed further into the future after each intervention from the future.

Chekov was easily the funniest part about this movie. Such a great idea to use the current political issues and tie it in using Chekov lol was laughing so much during the “nuclear wessels” scene which I’ve read that those people he was asking weren’t extras and actual people?

[@sagaswp]

2 years later...I know the woman that actually gives him directions was a random person on the street, I don't know about the cop and the rest of the people they asked.

[@aciarduce]

@@sagaswp Actually all of them were extras, but the woman wasn't suppose to answer with what she did. The woman in question was Layla Sarakalo and she was living in San Francisco and woke up one day to discover that her car had been towed. You see, she had missed the fact that there was filming on her street and her car was in the way (she had missed the signs). The film being made on her street, of course, was Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. She decided that one way to get the money to pay for the towing was to get a job as an extra on the film set. After deciding what she would do, Layla changed into a suitable outfit, grabbed her whippet Anubis (her dog) and headed down the street to where the action was taking place. After speaking with the assistant director on whether she could get a day's work, she was told she could and was instructed to stand with the group of extras already hired for the day. Layla said to the others that she had never engaged in this acting thing before and asked what she should do. They told her to act naturally. With the cameras rolling, Layla walked down the street into shot and soon came to the spot where Uhura and Chekov were unsuccessfully trying to find out from passing pedestrians where the nuclear wessels [sic] were. Most of the extras who were asked this question looked at the two like they were from another planet and carried on. Layla, however, answered them. Naturally. The problem was, she wasn't supposed to say anything. But, because she did, the filmmakers decided that this was good, spontaneous stuff and that they should use it! A bit of rancor by fellow extras aside, Layla's star was now lit and hanging in the firmament. After some retakes, they finally broke for lunch. When production personnel approached her, they asked if she was in the union (Screen Actors Guild). "No," she replied with a smile, "I'm in the neighborhood." So they had her sign up for the Screen Actors Guild (everyone who has a line in a film has to be a member). But she didn't think anything of it, as she didn't think it would actually MAKE the movie. But after the film came out, people occasionally recognized her from the movie, so she went to go see it. For years, she was unknown, just a "mystery woman" in the film, but she eventually came forward. As of 2005, she was working in Paris, running a small fashion house.

[@nb2008nc]

When the officer said they'd better call Washington, Chekov knew to get the fudge out. It's a miracle the Marines chasing him didn't turn him into Swiss cheese when they hollered to the sailors to hit the deck.

[@omnivorousbiped2447]

The beauty of a scene storyboarded to within an inch of its life.

2:01 This is the moment when Chekov realizes he'd have been better off had he grabbed his communicator off the table too.

[@haweater1555]

At that point in time, Uhura would have returned with the thing to the ship and Scotty may not yet have time to fix the ships reactor problem to supply enough energy for another emergency transport.

[@KnowYoutheDukeofArgyll1841]

Now that would've been great, but that time around, he could've ended up using a similar "stun me" line, and he actually gets stunned.

[@erentheca]

I'm sure that 23rd century Klingon tech is so leaps-and-bounds beyond 20th Century tech they wouldn't even know where to begin trying to reverse-engineer it.

[@tucoramirez4558]

@@erentheca Only reasonable answer here. Here's the reality. If you brought a laptop with you to the 1950's and explained it to computer scientists of the time you'd indeed be able to make them understand the technology behind it but NOT build a laptop of their own. Building modern day microprocessors requires modern manufacturing and machines which they simply don't have in the 1950's. You'd have to re-invent and modernize and entire industry which would be a mammoth task. The bottom line is that they lack the tools, equipment and industrial knowledge how to manufacture microchips and integrated circuits. How about bringing an internal combustion engine to the 1700's? Scholars back then would indeed understand the technology behind it and how it works. But would they be able to manufacture the parts of the engine? They can't even cast the engine block let alone manufacture something as outdated as a carburetor. It all relies on the technological capabilities of the industry and the ability to manufacture the parts. 1950's computer scientists lack the ability to build the parts of a 21st century laptop. Scientists from the 1700's are unable to build a combustion engine of their own with the tooling processes they have at their time (crude casting). So it goes without saying that any 23 century technology would be impossible to build in the 20th century. The only way the "transparent aluminum" plot works in Star Trek IV is if it's merely a few years into the future and they're on the verge of discovering it anyway. If transparent aluminum was really discovered in 1996 in the Star Trek timeline then it's plausible somebody could have manufactured it in 1986 already with a little help from people from the future pointing them in the right direction. If it is however a 23 century innovation then there's simply no way somebody in 1986 could simply have "discovered it" 300 years in advance. Especially not since it seems like there's a seriously advanced manufacturing method behind it. Again, do they have the tools, machines and manufacturing capabilities in 1986 to make transparent aluminum?

[@tucoramirez4558]

@gobo760 "If their going back in time was a part of the historical time stream all along" Absolutely nothing in the movie indicates this was always part of history. In fact they constantly mention they change it while being there. "Chekov's instruments would have been reverse-engineered by the military to create the instruments that would later be taken back in time with him. " Ridiculous. Computer scientists of the 1950's would never be able to reverse engineer a 21st century laptop (they simply lack the machines, industry, materials and capabilities to produce such technology), what makes you think people in 1986 can "reverse engineer" 23 century technology? It's totally alien to them. "The same story telling device was used in Terminator 2... Cyberdyne reverse-engineers the Skynet CPU based on the CPU they found inside the first Terminator." Not at all. In the Terminator series this was *an integral part of the story* and was clearly explained by the scientist in the movie. *Absolutely nothing* in Star Trek IV indicates this would be the case. It would also be incredibly ridiculous because it would completely mitigate 3 full centuries of technological advance and reduce it to some bizarre time traveling event. And while people of the past lack tools, engineering capabilities and the industry to understand - let alone build and reverse-engineer - advanced technology, you lack the SENSE to this and instead throw a lot of mindless speculation (arbitrarily inserting an entirely different franchise sharing nothing but a future setting) into the mix. Congratulations. You're a member of the "most sci fi fans are stupid" club. Word of advice. Never try to make sense out of Hollywood movies. They're entertainment first and foremost.

By the way, the description is wrong..... That guy wasn't FBI he was probably NIS (Naval investigative service)

"Commander Pavel Chekov. Starfleet. United Federation of Planets." I mean, of _course_ the intel. official doesn't _believe_ this, but _why did Chekov have his credentials?_ I have the hardest time in the world picturing Chekov on the _Bounty,_ getting ready for this errand, looking at what he's planning to take with him and saying, "Oh. I'd better bring my credentials. You never _know_ when _they_ might come in handy." 🤷

This is the same guy who thought it was smart for a Russian guy to say “excuse me, where are the nuclear wessels?” in the middle of Cold War america, honestly the fact that this plan actually worked out is beyond be because they clearly did zero research

@@mrcritical6751 I don't think a Klingon bird of prey would have much info in it's computers about late 20th century earth for them to use for research.

Did Chekov just leave 20th century Americans with a phaser? Temporal Investigations are going to have a field day with this one.

[@starguy2718]

Nope. They didn't have the underlying theory to tell them what they were holding in their hand. They wouldn't even begin to understand it.

[@joshuahudson2170]

@@starguy2718 The communicator's worse. The necessary tech to build a warp drive is miniaturized in the communicator. The phaser just looks like a bunch of electronics around a really good capacitor.

Isn't it funny how, in the trek timeline, humanity managed to go from the Apollo Program to launching sleeper ships like the DY-100 in just over 2 decades. From what we see in Star Trek IV, the late 1980's must have been a technological renaissance. Almost as if many advanced technologies were discovered within a very short time period of each other...

I wonder where he would’ve ended up running to if he didn’t fall off the deck, even if he did wind up getting arrested until Uhura would’ve found him and Scotty would’ve been able to beam him back to them.

I love how the FBI agent is going "im surrounded by idiots" because Chekov seems like a loon to him and his partner is being foolish XD

[@BethGoth15]

I know what you mean. The first time I saw this movie, I was genuinely worried about the little guy! *cuddles* What I love about Chekov is that he always tries to be the hero ans save the day when he's actually an idiot. It's almost like he wants to be Kirk in a way. You know the way he used to gallivant around with a different girl each week, he's copying Kirk! And he fails every time. Aww, I love him so much!!! *squeezes Chekkie to death*

[@aiosquadron]

Awww.... Of courses he is cute.

[@kevinemmers9424]

Dang! You had to open my eyes to that reality. But, it's true!

[@historyjellicle]

This actually explains so, so much!

[@samsoncrosswood7259]

Is that why Chekov never had a command, because he went around throwing future tech at his captors?

[@tucoramirez4558]

Please. He is merely comic relief. It's a movie.

[@Alaninbroomfield]

He said the "r" word!!!

[@5133937]

Checkov should grabbed the communicator and ran out to the flight deck with it, then called for a beam out.

[@patrickwilson1459]

But then how was the communicator just barely able to reach Scotty while on the ship?

[@blacksupra001]

because they dont believe him, about being from the future and chekov is so gullible in his interrogation lol they said we are through here and he was like we are ? can i go now ? haha :P
