Trivia: The character that Bruce Greenwood plays, Captain Christopher Pike, was the commanding officer of the USS Enterprise in the unaired original series pilot episode, "Star Trek: The Cage (#1.0)" (1966). In that episode, Pike was portrayed by Jeffrey Hunter. Initially, the episode was rejected but when a second pilot was ordered, Hunter dropped out of the series so the part was rewritten and recast with William Shatner as Captain James T. Kirk. The footage from the unaired pilot was later woven into the episode "Star Trek: The Menagerie: Part 1 (#1.11)" (1966). In the mythology of Star Trek, Captain Pike is considered to be Captain Kirk’s predecessor, a plot line to be (potentially) played out in the film.

Goofs: Continuity: After Spock boards the Vulcan ship on board the mining vessel, Kirk is seen walking through some pipes. His Starfleet phaser has switched to a Romulan gun (longer barrel and no lights), before switching back to the Starfleet one again in the next scene. He actually acquires the Romulan gun a few scenes later.
