Video — In Remembrance Of Ricardo Montalban — Clip from Star Trek II, The Wrath of Khan

By Gasparrini Thursday January 15, 2009

William Shatner and Ricardo Montalban go head to head to see who can ham it up the most on screen, in a movie that includes one of the worst death-scene acting committed to celluloid (Khan’s lieutenant). Classic.

Totally the best of the Star Trek films. A fine example of how great writing can make old characters fresh. (Those Star Wars movies didn’t have to suck.)
Geek note: A small division of Lucas Films which later became Pixar did the Genesis effect scene.

A sad news indeed.

The Prisoner also passed away today.

By my watch, the 60 seconds that Khan gave Kirk took nearly 2 minutes.

And if Starfleet went to all the trouble of setting up firewalls to prevent one ship from taking over another, why did they give every ship all the passwords?

Wow. I really geeked out there.

DVORAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKK!!!

That’s a little harsh towards Ricardo… Khan was suppose to be an overly-dramatic emo-type character. Of course, Shatner is Shatner.

I remembered that voice from Freakazoid as Gutierez. Something for the younger generation…

Sorry to hear about Mr. Montalban.

“Star Trek II, The Wrath of Khan” resulted in the following production:

Ah, Kirk, my old friend, do you know the Klingon proverb that tells us revenge is a dish that is best served cold?

It is very cold…in space!

The last part was awesome and it’s cut from this clip!!, Where Kahn quotes Melville, “From Hell’s heart, I stab at thee; For hate’s sake, I spit my last breath at thee.”…

That’s how a real MAN dies.
