Joe Bob Briggs Quote: “This was the second Star Trek flick, the first one, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, was one of the most expensive movies ever made at the time due to all kinds of production delays, and everyone hated it. So this time they pared the budget way down and recycled the sets and hired Ricardo Montalban to flex his pecs and make many threatening long-distance space calls to Captain Kirk and this was before the days of 10-10-321, so it was a pretty big deal. And this is also the one where Paramount Pictures made sure everybody knew that Spock dies at some point in the movie, as sort of a Who shot J.R.? kinda thing, got everybody talking about that. It was originally slotted as a TV movie, but then they decided to take a chance and book it in theaters, and it got great reviews and was a big hit.”
