Star Trek III : Kirk Vs. Kruge (WITH ORIGINAL MUSIC!!!)

You know what? I'm inclined to agree. After TMP, III is my second favourite Star Trek film, and I know it very well, but I've never heard that sequence like this. It really does add to the scene. Well done to all concerned.

[@moso299]

Agreed. The scene felt a little flat for me without a score.

[@richardconnold5207]

Listening to it, again, it's more Jerry, than anything. There's strong hints of PLANET OF THE APES, and some Rosenman, and a tad of BRAINSTORM. I like the way that it flows, seamlessly, into Horner's cue.

Only James T. Kirk could beat a Klingon captain, rescue Spock, commandeer their ship & get the hell out of there just as the planet explodes. The best Starfleet captain of all time!

It's a great movie and has a vibe and atmosphere that was never replicated. I think it feels most like the original series and I chalk that up to it being Directed by Nimoy!

[@Black-Rat]

Loved the Star Trek IV movie best, it was more comedy than sci-fi on this one though, not about the saving the whales thing, just because of the way it was like how Captain Kirk ended up stuck in the 1980s... And at the end of that movie, Admiral Kirk goes to court martial but he was only demoted back to Captain and given a new command...

I’m honestly gobsmacked that this part of the score wasn’t included in the movie. It adds so much to it! Now there’s a real sense of desperation and genuine danger to the scene and to Kirk, as every time he gets an advantage Kruge is able to counter him.

[@VikCachat]

Star Trek Klingon Academy game is not far off. It's set before Star Trek VI and has both Christopher Plumber and David Warner reprising their roles in live action fmv sequences between missions. Chang is training the new recruits for command, and is a mentor to the player character. The gameplay is a space sim where you control the ship using joystick or mouse and can give orders for power management, manueavers, damage control etc... Act 1 is a simulated invasion of the federation, while Chang lectures between mission. In act 2 the conflict between houses goes hot again and you fight for Chang's faction.

After DS9 and TNG Klingon prisoner disappointment at Kirk's "I lied" is pretty much understandable. At this particular moment he was absolutely disgraced. Something Kirk didn't understand - it was a fate worse than death.

He went on to be a cultural ambassador for his people though. He's thanked for his contributions in certain Federation textbooks on the Klingon language.

Kruge to Kirk during the fight scene, "Kirk, I am your uncle." A proud Klingon would never scream as Kruge did during his death fall.

[@zackb5636]

It seemed Kruge was a bit of a Rogue Klingon and so he seemed to have little to know honor.

[@hamhockbeans]

More of a scream rage and failure than of fear of dying.

[@johntabler349]

Don't think it applies here, Kruge was a tough hombre and brave. No human ever lives up perfectly to his own code of honor why should we think even the best or bravest Klingons would. Besides original series Klingons were varied. Kruge was nothing like Chang, Gorkon and Azetbore were unique, Kang and Koloth etc and of course Kor
