This is true.
Special effects of the ships blowing up is pretty good—holds up pretty well.
Pretty ballsy going up in range of those land-mounted cannons.
Hornblower: “Computer, begin self destruct sequence. zero zero zero destruct zero.”
Gotta love those small models. Admiral Adama would be proud. WE’ll never see their like in movies again.
I think he knew it was going to be a one way trip.
Admiral Adama! LOL. Yeah, it would be total CGI now for sure.
The cannon was definitely more manually intensive. I doubt Khan could have pulled it off.
“…the honor that you’ve bestowed on me by fighting at my side” that’s a very Adama thing to say.
Ever been to a ship museum of any sort? Those ship models are incredible.
Horatio has got it together in this movie. I’d say Peck is Waaaaaaayyyyy better than Shatner.
Agreed.
Khan would have had to quote Milton while doing it.
Oh yeah, totally. I’ve been to the Naval Museum in Greenwich UK BEAUTIFUL ship models. 5 feet long.
I gotta agree (no offense shat). Peck is cool and crafty.
I’m pretty sure Hornblower could have. He just didn’t think it was necessary.
Kirk is crafty, just not as in tune with the crew.
True. Kirk would just figure out a plan with Spock, and sacrifice a few red shirts.
I’m just recalling how many many times I watched this movie. I know it practically by heart.
This always make me think of Kirk stealing the Enterprise in ST III
“Looks like clear weather Mr. Bush”
Really? First time for me today. It is a good one, though!
Definitely. He had a magnetic personality for the men he commands in any capacity. He finds the crew for the scooner in under 5 minutes. Kirk couldn’t do that.
Oh, I’d thot you’d seen it before (sorry I feel like I was sayin’ spoilers throughout)
