Star Trek: Generations

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".

Trivia: At the end of the film when the Enterprise crew are being rescued from the surface of the planet where they crashed, Picard is transported from the surface by the USS Farragut. This is also the name of the first ship on which Kirk served as a Lieutenant (mentioned in the original series episode 47 Obsession).

Trivia: The original ending for Generations involved Soren shooting Kirk in the back and Picard finding the body, so he did technically die alone, but the test audiences hated seeing the heroic James Kirk bite it in the back, so all three actors were called in to reshoot the ending, making Kirk's death more purposeful.

Trivia: When looking at the damage, you see Scotty's right hand open, and can see the middle finger is missing. It's one of a few times you ever see it openly, as Doohan always kept it closed on camera. He lost it due to amputation in the Second World War.

Movie Nut

Trivia: Malcolm McDowell was initially reluctant to star in this movie, as he admitted that he was never a fan of the original television series. He changed his mind when the producers told him that the money was good, and he was happy to work with Sir Patrick Stewart again.

Trivia: When Picard is with his family around the Christmas tree his eldest son is playing with a spaceship.This was produced by Kenner, it is an Alien (xenomorph) dropship for the Kenner Alien range from 1992. If you look closely you can see the outline of an Alien figure in the plastic dome at the back.

Trivia: As the camera looks at Picard, who is explaining his presence to Kirk, on the wall behind him is a Klingon Bat'leth, a large poster of the Original series Enterprise, an old style phaser, and a few other old series items.

Movie Nut

Trivia: The Enterprise-D was destroyed, in part, because the ship was designed for the aspect ratio of a television screen. The destruction of the ship allowed for the creation of a theater-friendly starship for subsequent movies.

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.

Scotty: Finding retirement a little lonely, are we?
Kirk: You know, I'm glad you're an engineer. With tact like that, you'd make a lousy psychiatrist.
