Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan - Buried Alive - Ricardo Montalban

[@fanboy2015]

How the hell was Montalban not nominated for an Oscar?

[@Brandon-ew8mr]

+George Alexander I don’t think those people appreciate sci-fi like we do. I agree full heartedly though.

[@markkunissinen]

Back then, scifi was seen as something without artistic merit. It took Cameron with Aliens to prove them otherwise, and even after that nominations still tend to gravitate towards character and historical dramas.

[@j.chiphowell5650]

At the time this movie was made, Science Fiction wasn't taken seriously. Great Actors weren't given the credit they earned.

[@ericbarash6842]

George Alexander agreed. He even beefed up for the role with exercise in the gym. His chest was real.

[@genetenz]

The genre

[@cathyspence218]

Montalban does a great job portraying a man on the edge of both madness and sheer exhaustion from fifteen years of struggling to survive, grieving his wife, and containing the rage that has been building. All of it is contained in this scene. RM will always be the best Khan.

[@meowco69]

It's interesting as the rest of the Botany Bay crew are just satisfied moving on and want to convince Khan he got his revenge but Khan's deep anger towards Kirk completely blinds him.

[@OpenMawProductions]

The only Khan. The Khan in Into Darkness has absolutely nothing to do with the character we see in Space Seed and TWOK.

[@steve4158]

Agree 100%. Christopher Lloyd played a Klingon villain but I had a hard time getting past his character on back to the future. With RM, I didn't link him to Fantasy Island.

[@HunchbackJack]

The moment when Kirk realizes Khan has Genesis and immediately calms down and starts thinking furiously of a way to keep him from just leaving. Nice bit of acting from Shatner, and a great example of Kirk as tactician.

[@ForceMaximus84]

Not only that, he knew the Enterprise was nearby going through quick repairs, so it’s almost like he’s convincing Khan that he’s winning when he really isn’t.

[@Aaron-hb4wu]

Kirk was trying to get Khan into leaving. So he started fake baiting him into coming down. Khan thought oh he's trying to get me to come down there, I'm not going to do that to spite him. The enterprise is looping around the planet doing repairs And will come back around. Kirk is using reverse psychology to play Khan into leaving the area. Khan being arrogant thinks he sees kirks plan and decides to do the opposite which is exactly what Kirk wants. Kirks freak out is to taunt Khan to keep him from thinking straight and to get him to leave thinking he's won and Kirk is panicking. Kirk knows if Khan leaves the enterprise will be there in 4 hours to beam them off. If Khan sent me down to kill him hed be dead.

@@thomasmadison3896 He reprised his role as Khan so menacingly, so vengefully, so marvellously, so coldly, and so well.

[@JonSmith-hk1bq]

"Cold" is an awfully odd term to use for Kahn. If we're talking his debut in Space Seed, I'd be with you, but in Wrath of Kahn, he's completely gone over the deep end in his desire for revenge. It's so bad that when Kirk sets a trap in the nebula, his most trusted henchman Joachim stops the ship and reminds him that he's already won. They have the Genesis device and a ship. Kirk then easily taunts Kahn, causing him to throw Joachim aside and take the ship into the nebula himself to try and kill Kirk. Kirk's reaction to this? "I'll say this for him, he's consistent." Kirk then proceeds to outmaneuver Kahn, costing the tyrant the lives of his people and leaving him with only one last petty revenge via the detonating the Genesis device. Cold? No. In Wrath of Kahn, he was stripped of his objectivity and left as a vengeance machine.

Those talking about Ricardo Montalban, but can we admire Paul Winfield for his role in this movie? A captain who did have a feeling of authority when he spoke, a presence which worked, and real good delivery of his lines in a calm tone most of the time. Even if he was doomed . . . he turned that phaser on himself instead of Kirk. This is one of my favorite movies, forget Star Trek or sci-fi . . . this is just so well-handled. Hard to believe the person making it had no experience with Star Trek before being brought in for this, or that the follow up movie wasn't nearly as good. (Though poor Christopher Lloyd tried so hard.) When people start decrying "that person can't make a production about THAT, they have no experience with it!", I just recall Harve Bennett getting *THIS* movie to work. It's not impossible, just very difficult.

[@patrickturner6878]

That TOS episode was the best of the entire series for a reason. There is a reason it spawned a movie and a sensation. Montalban turned a gritty, low budget sci fi show into Hollywood gold for one fleeting moment. Then it was gone again and we were back to tribbles. Until this movie. lol

Ricardo Montalban was a giant of an actor,forced into a lot of secondary roles because of the stigma of being Hispanic in old Hollywood.

Although I am rusty,when I speak Spanish there is a touch of Senor Montalban in my voice still.He was to spoken Spanish what an Olivier or Burton was to spoken English.

Had Paramount Pictures fully supported a bigger budget for this film, and had it produced it at a motion picture level than an ostensible TV movie of the week, perhaps the role of Khan would’ve been somewhat larger. (Yeah, yeah, I know Paramount had its reservations since the previous film under-performed.) Perhaps truly giving more for Ricardo Montalban to do. Perhaps his performance would’ve severed the snotty stand of the AMPAS and recognized Montalban with a Best Supporting Actor nomination because he was THAT fantastic of an actor, and Khan is brilliantly performed well by him!

While it is true that Kahn agreed to be exiled on Ceti Alpha 5 at the end of Space Seed, Kahn knew that Kirk had beaten him in battle and that Kirk's security guards were likely ready to incinerate him and his people with their phasers. Kirk offered Kahn what he wanted, a world to tame and make his own. Kahn apparently took it for granted that Kirk or Starfleet would monitor and check on them from time to time, and nobody knew that Ceti Alpha 6 was about to explode and wreck Ceti Alpha 5.

This one has been and will always be my most favorite of Star Trek movies one I went to see in the theatres like 4 or 5 times couldn't believe they'd kill Spock and then in tandem I HAD to see the next one about as many times but this one had Khan and what an ominous character that Ricardo brought to the movie. Even though people groan over the words of Melville being twisted into a space battle I knew that as a kid it was showing the kind of thing that Star Trek was like a naval group parting through the stars so them using that metaphor to me was completely perfect but as great as that was Ricardo was and will always be an incredible actor and his role will never be duplicated. The visceral anger and hate that he had for Captain Kirk to then Admiral. It was so perfect we were living in California when this movie came out and it was the day before the movie opened on one of the TV stations they played the Space Seed episode for those who wanted to be reminded before watching. I remember reading in the paper that the numbers of people watching that episode on TV was huge. And then came the show at the theatres and it was perfect.
