Deliberate mistake: After the trilithium missile hits the sun, it is shown going out in real time from Veridian III. As the planet is relatively earth-like, it is several light-minutes away from the sun. The filmmakers wanted it to be obvious that the missile was successful, so they ignored the speed of light.

Revealing mistake: When Picard is trying to squeeze through the rock archway, he looks like he's stuck, but a closer look reveals he has enough room above his back to squeeze through without any trouble.
Trivia: Tim Russ, who plays Tuvok in Voyager, has a small role in this movie as the Tactical Officer on Enterprise-B. In the credits he is cast as "Lieutenant".
Question: How did Kirk die? He got hit by a lot of debris but from what was seen, not enough to do real damage.
Answer: Kirk also fell a considerable distance, clinging onto the platform as it dislodged from the cliff and rolled several times. In addition to being crushed/hit by debris, the fall and the rolling would have caused further serious trauma.
