Easter egg: On the second disk go to "The Borg Collective" and highlight Main Menu and press the left button on your remote to change the white and green button to red. You will be taken to a feature of the concept artwork of the destruction of the Borg Queen.

Easter egg: For the two-disc Collector's Edition, on Disc 2, from the main menu, use the arrow keys to go "right" from the Production selection. There a Borg circle will change from Green to Red & initiate a short film on what names the movie was going to be called before First Contact.

Easter egg: On the two-disc Collector's Edition, on Disc 2, under the "Star Trek Universe" sub menu, use the arrow keys to go "Right" from the Jerry Goldsmith tribute and you will see a Borg node turn from Green to Red. If you click it, a short film about Ethan Phillips, who plays the uncredited maitre d' in the holodeck scene. He also played Neelix on Star Trek: Voyager.

Mistakes

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Picard, Worf and Hawk are outside the ship and want to separate the transmitter dish from the hull, Picard must move a kind of tube out of an console and must turn it from a low to a high position. In one shot the tube is in the high position, in the next shot it is in the low position and then Picard pulls it out and turns it in the high position. (01:06:40 - 01:10:35)

Questions

Question: Deanna Troi states that they will get rid of poverty, disease, and war within next 50 years. How would they get rid of things like autism, ADHD, or dyslexia? Aren't those medical conditions that cannot be cured?

Answer: Troi says that future medical research is far more advanced and humanity has learned to work together and overcome many social problems without being specific. It's unknown how these conditions will be cured, but possibly through advanced gene therapy, new drugs, new surgical techniques, etc.

Answer: The things you listed are not diseases, they are conditions. It is more plausible that she was referring to things like cancer, diabetes, stroke, and other similar disorders which, at some point in time, there might be a cure.

Troi said poverty disease war would all be gone within the next 50 years. I thought she meant things like autism ADHD and dyslexia would be gone too not just disease.

No, that's why she said disease.

Well the movie tells us that all bad things on earth would be gone within the next 50 years. I thought that would have included conditions like autism dyslexia or ADHD as well as disease.

The movie doesn't say "all bad things." She specifically says "disease." In other words things that can be cured, get cured. No doubt some things will be curable that we currently can't cure, and some things will never be curable. You're overanalysing a line used simply to explain that humanity advances itself in a short space of time.
