Product Description
Additional Features
On the DVD commentary track, Nicholas Meyer discusses his directing philosophy, how he scrimped to stay under budget (Wrath of Khan was the cheapest Star Trek film), and his nautical approach to Trek, but he doesn't dissect all the various bits of footage (only a few minutes total, with the most substantial change explaining Midshipman 1st Class Peter Preston's connection to Commander Scott) that went into the director's cut DVD. For those kinds of technical details and trivia, switch on the subtitled commentary track by Michael Okuda (who cowrote The Star Trek Encyclopedia and did the same honors on the Star Trek: The Motion Picture DVD). Disc 2 offers substantial featurettes on how the story developed and how the costumes, ships, and sets were designed, highlighted by new interviews of Meyer, producer-writer Harve Bennett, William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, and Ricardo Montalban. There are also 8 minutes of 1982 interviews, 13 storyboard archives, and a feature that might seem like a 27-minute commercial for Star Trek books, but is actually an interesting and lighthearted look at how novelists create the back story for such topics as the Kobayashi Maru test and the Eugenics Wars, which feature prominently in Khan. --David Horiuchi
Product Description
In Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, it is the 23rd century and aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise, Admiral James T. Kirk (William Shatner) seems resigned to the fact that this may well be his last space mission. But Khan (Ricardo Montalban), a brilliant renegade of 20th century Earth, is back, and now schemes to set a most deadly trap for this old enemy Kirk - with the threat of universal Armageddon. The Director's Cut 2-Disc Edition includes commentaries, interviews, featurettes, and more.

For special effects, this is your movie!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (VHS Tape)
Having seen this movie countless times, I believe that II is the best example of the kind of Star Trek special effects we remember from the original series. You get the sense of camaraderie you remember from the series and has the best special effects of any film until "Generations".

WHAT A MOVIE!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (VHS Tape)
I agree with the previous reviews. 5 STARS it was a great movie, that I already own, along with all the other 7 VHS releases. My favorite part is when they are in that nebula, and can't see each other, making a lot like a WWII sub battle. I am a Die hard trekkie, and am interested in any ST collectibles people are willing to sell them.

An excellent movie,
By A Customer
This review is from: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (VHS Tape)
It is one of the best sci - fi films ever. But what makes this film so suppierier to many of the other films is the fact that its ending is very supprising and the last thing that you would think would happen
