Trivia (fin)
The song in the bar scene is "Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven" by Albert King. *
One of the shuttles in the shuttle bay is named Takei, a nod to George Takei, the original Hikaru Sulu. *
The Klingons were given a new look for the film.
*
The second of J.J. Abrams' Star Trek films, wherein two female characters are seen in their underwear. In this film: one of the women in bed with Kirk, and Carol Marcus. In the previous film Star Trek (2009): Uhura and Gaila. *
When Kirk, Spock and Uhura meet with the two security guards at "Mudd's" spaceship (on the Enterprise), Kirk addresses the security guard on the left as Hendorff. In the original series episode Star Trek: The Apple (1967), the first security officer to die was also Ensign Hendorff. *
The film takes place from 2259 to 2260.
*
There are a number of bar code scanners incorporated into design of various stations manned by the Enterprise crew. All scanners have the red reflective glass in upper section. Most noticeable are two white-beige scanners between Sulu's and Chekov's stations on the bridge, two black ones in the middle of Science Officer 0718's station that is to the right of captain's chair, and one small scanner that looks like a beige pyramid with sphere on top which is located on Chekov's station near the warp drive.
*
Khan's ship, the SS Botany Bay, is not mentioned by name.
*
Like the previous movie, this one also contains a reference to Nurse Chapel of the original series (played by Majel Barrett) - interestingly, this callback breaks continuity with Star Trek as in that movie McCoy is heard addressing a "Nurse Chapel" (who replies from off screen), whereas in this one we get the impression that Christine Chapel became a nurse following an encounter with Kirk in the interim between the two movies (since Kirk and Uhura did not know each other before Star Trek (2009), the reference to a common acquaintance is unlikely to refer to someone from before that point in time). *
The 11th biggest grossing film of 2013.
*
One of San Francisco's signature cable cars is visible in a shot of the city.
*
This is the first "Bad Admiral" story to feature the original crew of the Enterprise. Previously, stories about corrupt Starfleet Admirals were frequently featured on Star Trek: La nouvelle génération (1987). *
Cameo
Nolan North: Bridge officer aboard the USS Vengeance.
*
Director Trademark
J.J. Abrams: [Kelvin] The building blown up early on in the movie is the Kelvin Memorial Archive.

Spoilers
The trivia items below may give away important plot points.
Near the end of the film, when Khan sent the USS Vengeance on a collision course with San Francisco, it crushes Alcatraz on its way towards the city. According to director J.J. Abrams, this was a sly nod to the fact that the series Alcatraz (2012) (which he executive produced) was cancelled after only one season. *
at 1 hour 17 minutes 18 seconds) When the Vengeance fires on the Enterprise when they are both at warp, one can fleetingly see an R2-D2 being sucked out into space along with various debris, tools, and Enterprise crewmen.
*
Despite being in several major battles, the Enterprise does not fire weapons at any point in the film.
*
In Star trek II - La colère de Khan (1982), Spock sacrifices his life to restore the Enterprise's warp drive and dies of radiation poisoning as Kirk watches from outside. In this film, the roles are reversed and Kirk gives his life to restore the warp drive as Spock looks on. Spock's subsequent line, "KHAAAAAN!" was spoken by Kirk in the original but in a different context in a different part of the story. *
The collection of models on Admiral Marcus' ( Peter Weller) desk resembles the gallery of old ships named "Enterprise" as seen in Star Trek, le film (1979). The ships and aircraft, all class-pathfinders, that can be seen are:
- The "Wright Flyer" (1903) First craft to achieve controlled, heavier-than-air flight.
- The "Spirit of St. Louis", in which Charles A. Lindbergh became the first man to fly a solo, non-stop flight from New York to Paris.
- V2
- X-15
- A Gemini Capsule, from which the first American Spacewalks occurred.
- A Soyuz Spacecraft, the mainstay Russian Space Agency spacecraft.
- the NASA space shuttle "Enterprise" (which actually exists)
- the "XCV 330 USS Enterprise" (the ship with the rings around its hull)
- Zefram Cochrane's warp ship, the Phoenix, from Star Trek: Premier Contact (1996)
- the Enterprise NX-01 from the television series Star Trek: Enterprise (2001)
- and the USS Vengeance, foreshadowing its appearance and Marcus' villainy.

The scene which Khan is put back into suspended animation was written, as a possibility, that Khan, with Benedict Cumberbatch returning in the role, may return in a future installment. *
Khan and Spock's climactic battle on a hovering garbage cruiser was shot over a period of four days. Much of the cruiser was actually made of rubber, due to the extreme physical nature of the fight between the two characters.
*
Writer Damon Lindelof apologized on Twitter for the seemingly gratuitous and much criticized scene where Alice Eve strips down to her underwear. J.J. Abrams would counter the criticism later when he appeared on Conan O'Brien's talk show and premiered a deleted scene featuring Benedict Cumberbatch showering. For her part, Eve later stated that she didn't feel exploited by the inclusion of her strip scene.
When Kirk recovers from radiation poisoning and returns to the bridge Sulu offers him back his captain's chair and says "'Captain' does have a nice ring to it." In Star trek VI - Terre inconnue (1991), Sulu is indeed the Captain of his own starship, the USS Excelsior. *
Two of J.J. Abrams' children appear in the film during the scene when Khan crashes the Vengeance into San Francisco. His son Henry appears as a member of the crowd that first notices the ship crashing down (he is directly behind the woman in front). Abrams' daughter Gracie appears as a Starfleet cadet a few moments later in another shot.
After watching the Enterprise emerge from the sea and take off into space at the beginning of the movie, one of the Nibiru tribesmen draws an outline of the ship in the sand. According to Zecharia Sitchin book "The 12th Planet" extraterrestrials from the planet Nibiru were the true origin of Babylonian religion, art and mythology. *
According to writer Damon Lindelof, the story began with deciding whether Khan Noonien Singh would be the villain, and they weighed the pros and cons of him appearing. J.J. Abrams felt it would "be fun to hear what Alex and Bob a
