Line 33:
** William Shatner is an expert at horseback, and having his horse ''walk sideways to join Stewart'' is pure showing off.
* [[Changing Clothes Is a Free Action]]: One of the most subtle examples on record. At the beginning of the film, the main cast is wearing their [[Star Trek: The Next Generation|ST:TNG]]-era uniforms, with the black shoulders and colored torso. Then a few [[Red Shirt|Red Shirts]] in the background are seen with the updated [[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|ST:DS9]] color scheme with the black torso and colored shoulders. Then Data starts wearing it. And then Riker, and Geordi, and finally Picard. In at least one case with Riker his uniform literally changes between two scenes where he couldn't possibly have had time to do so in real life.
** See the entry under [[Show Accuracy, Toy Accuracy]] below for a possible explanation for all this uniform madness.
* [[Closest Thing We Got]]: "You and you, you've just become nurses. Let's go."
* [[Comedic Sociopathy]]: Lampshaded then deconstructed. While Worf was getting pushed off the plank to feed the sharks (in the holodeck...) as "reward" for promotion to Lieutenant Commander...
Line 126:
* [[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 theatres. 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]]''
