* [[Shout-Out]]: The "present day" is 78 years after the start of the film with Kirk, Scotty and Chekhov -- the same number as ''TOS'' episodes (counting the two-part "The Menagerie" as one episode).
** Data at one point mentions "[[Doctor Who|reversing the polarity]]" amongst a sea of [[Techno Babble]].
* [[Show Accuracy, Toy Accuracy]]: An example of the "both being made together" type. The action figures from the movie reflected certain aspects of the pre-production version, but did not accurately reflect the movie as released in theaters. For example, one problem was an action figure based around Captain Kirk in an orbital skydiving suit, which was from a scene which was filmed but cut from the theatrical release. Another, more famous problem with the figures was that '''all''' the ''Next Generation'' characters appear in new versions of their standard television uniforms: these new uniforms were intended to debut in the film, and were even designed by the costume department, but a last minute decision seen them pulled before filming began, replaced with the jumpsuits from ''Deep Space Nine'' (and ''Voyager''). Nobody told the people making the action figures that these new costumes had been pulled, however, so all the action figures are wearing Starfleet uniforms that were never actually seen on screen...
* [[Star-Killing]]: Soran's trilithium-armed probes.
* [[Stock Footage]]: Some shots of the Klingon Bird-Of-Prey are recycled from ''[[Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country|Star Trek VI the Undiscovered Country]]''
