A nice nod to history. Just after Shinzon orders something like attack plan 'Shinzon Alpha', Riker orders defence pattern 'Kirk Epsilon'.

In the scene where Picard and Data are about to board the Scorpion attack flyer, Picard throws his disruptor rifle to the ground. Yet just seconds later when the Scorpion is about to escape by blasting the entrance to the hangar bay open, no disruptor rifle is seen on the ground. See more...

Do you think the filmmakers copied a little from Star Trek 2? Let's see. The captain's 'Nemesis' shows up in both episodes with pretty much the ultimate doomsday weapon. The second most beloved crew member - the most logical one at that - sacrifices himself to save the entire ship (and possibly the Earth itself). The logical crew member also just happened to implant all of his memories to another person before he sacrificed himself.
At the end of the movie, where Capt. Picard is toasting friends and family with the wine, watch when they show the bottle. The wine brand is Chateau Picard. Picard's family has a vineyard in France, he visits it in one TNG Episode.
On the artwork for the widescreen DVD disc and the insert, Picard is shown wearing his old uniform from "The Next Generation," instead of the uniform he wore in this movie.
Director Bryan Singer (X-Men among others) makes a cameo appearance on the bridge of the Enterprise. He's a non-speaking extra. When the Reman boarding party has beamed aboard and Riker and Worf leaves the Bridge to take care of the boarding party Singer is the officer who takes over Worf's tactical station. In the audio commentary on the DVD release Nemesis director Stuart Baird points out Bryan Singer's appearance and continues 'apparently he's a big fan of Star Trek'.
At the end of the movie, B-4 starts singing, causing Picard to smile because he knows Data's memories are surfacing. This is almost identical to a scene in Voyager when the Doctor was copied onto the matrix of Dr. Zimmerman to restore his program. It ended with Kes having the identical reaction that Picard had to B-4.
In the scene towards the end where Picard toasts Data he says "to absent friends." This is the same toast that Kirk used in Star Trek 3 in reference to Spock.
At the end of the movie, when Riker is remembering his first meeting with Data, he talks about Data trying to whistle a song on the Holodeck. This actually refers to the Next Generation pilot episode Encounter at Farpoint. While Riker can't remember the song, fans probably can - it was 'Pop Goes The Weasel.'
In the scene where Picard and Data are reviewing a tactical display that shows the location of five Federation vessels near enough to render assistance, the last ship on the list is the USS Archer, likely named after Capt. Jonathan Archer, commander of the USS Enterprise NX-01 in the current TV series 'Enterprise'.
