Movie Nut

Continuity mistake: As Sybok mentions Sha-ka-ree, his head tilted to his right. On the monitor outside the brig, it's tilted left.

Movie Nut

Continuity mistake: As the shuttle nears the ship, they stop and are looking at the port side of the Enterprise. Inside the shuttle, as Talbot turns from looking out, the shuttle is pointed directly at the aft section, towards the shuttle bay. The it's back to port to begin the risky maneuver.

Movie Nut

Other mistake: As the shuttle craft approaches the planet, there is only a view of the stars, rather than any of the mountains or other scenery.

Movie Nut

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, it is seen that Nimbus III is an arid place, but at one point when Sybok goes to get his horse, there is a flash of blue sky with white clouds. In rest of the scene it's yellow and dust filled.

Movie Nut

Trivia: As Scotty holds the bag Uhura brought him, you can see that his right middle finger is missing. James Doohan suffered the loss of it during the war, and so usually kept his hand closed when it was on screen.

Movie Nut

Continuity mistake: As the shuttle with Kirk and company nears the shuttle bay, the guide strip lights pulse in a slow, staggered fashion toward the wall. After the angle change, the lights pulse in a faster, smoother succession.

Movie Nut

Scotty: USS Enterprise, shakedown cruise report. I think this new ship was put together by monkeys. Oh, she's got a fine engine, but half the doors won't open, and guess whose job it is to make it right?

Movie Nut

Sybok: Consider yourselves my prisoners.
Talbot: Prisoners? We're already prisoners here on this worthless lump of rock! What possible value could we be to you?
Sybok: Nimbus III may be a worthless lump of rock, but it DOES have one unique treasure. It's the only place in the entire galaxy that has the three of you.

Movie Nut

Dar: [after Korrd belches] I expect that's Klingon for 'Hello'.

Movie Nut

Kirk: "All I ask, is a tall ship, and a star to steer her by."
McCoy: Melville.
Spock: John Masefield.
McCoy: Are you sure about that?
Spock: I am well-versed in the classics, Doctor.
McCoy: Then how come you don't know "Row, Row, Row Your Boat"?

Movie Nut

Uhura: Bad news gentlemen, shore leave has been cancelled.
Chekov: Rescued at last!
Uhura: Return to pre arranged coordinates for pick up.
Sulu: Coordinates?
Chekov: Don't tell them you're lost, you'll never live it down!
Uhura: Is there a problem, gentlemen?
Sulu: Uh, yes, uh... We've been, uh, we've been caught in a blizzard!
Chekov: [Blowing into the communicator.] And we can't see a thing! Request you direct us to the coordinates!
Uhura: My visual says sunny skies and 70°!
Chekov: Sulu look! The sun has come out! It's a miracle!
Uhura: Don't worry fellas! Your secret's safe with me. I'll send a shuttlecraft to pick you up.
Sulu: Uhura, I owe you one. Sulu out.

Movie Nut

Bones: "You'll have a great time, Bones. You'll enjoy your shore leave. You, you'll be able to relax." You call this relaxing? I'm a nervous wreck! If I'm not careful, I'll end up talking to myself!

Movie Nut

Spock: General, I am in need of your assistance.
Korrd: My assistance?
Spock: You are his superior officer.
Korrd: I am a foolish old man
Spock: Damn you sir! You WILL try.

Movie Nut

Continuity mistake: After the Bird of Prey blasts "God", it turns to Kirk. After he says "What are you waiting for?" he gets beamed up. He has his arms up in a defiant manner. When he materializes on the platform his arms are mostly by his sides.

Movie Nut

Audio problem: When the Enterprise fire the torpedo, the sound used is the old series sound used when the ship's phasers were fired, not the correct noise for a torpedo firing.

Movie Nut

Continuity mistake: After getting Spock and Bones beamed up and out of danger, Kirk is running away from "God." As he pauses outside of the shuttle craft, you can see the dark spot where he got zapped is gone.

Movie Nut

Revealing mistake: On Sha-Ka-Ri, after Kirk says "I seek proof", and the camera goes to "God", then back, you can plainly tell it's a stunt double, and see the wire connected to the harness he's wearing to pull him backwards after getting zapped.
