Trivia: For the opening credits, composer Leonard Rosenmann had recorded an orchestral rendition of Alexander Courage's theme music from the original TV show, but the final film opened with its own theme instead. The original series theme is only heard sparingly throughout the films and it wouldn't be until 'Star Trek' (2009) that it would be played in full (over the end credits in that case). Rosenmann's take on the Courage theme can be heard on the 'Star Trek IV' soundtrack.

Trivia: Outside of the US, the title was modified to 'The Voyage Home: Star Trek IV' on promotional materials as well the film itself: the opening credits briefly faded into a completely new, custom-made animated title screen, in fact. The first PAL VHS releases in 1987 carried this title, but subsequent video releases reverted to 'Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.'.
