I love the drawn-in Riker facial hair. They get more and more ridiculous with each scene 😂. Also love this one off movie. It has no real reason to exist other than to just have fun, let the crew enjoy a sorta mid-life crisis, before getting slapped around in Nemesis.
There is actually a serious moral debate in this movie, but on the other hand the idea that this planet allows its inhabitants to be immortal was a little ridiculous even for Star Trek.
I like how it is a different style beard each time. he even had a handlebar mustache at one point. I found myself giggling even though I was quiet through the rest of the video so that I didn't wake up my sleeping family in the other rooms.
4:50 the most confusing part that should be sinned here isn't that Picard comes up with an earth song that Worf dosen't know or composers that Worf dosen't know, but the fact that Worf should be kind of familiar with them since he grew up with humans since he was a little kid.
To be fair, how many songs from the early 16th century can you sing off the top of your head? And, as much as I love Gilbert and Sullivan, I wouldn't count on them being household names by the 2370s.
@@88porpoise But it's well-established that 2300's humans are fascinated by 20th-century culture, to the point of also being interested in things that 20th-century humans liked, such as Shakespeare and the Old West.
@@stevenscott2136 We are quite familiar with some things from hundreds of years ago as well, see Shakespeare. But I doubt the vast majority of people are familiar with much else from the late 16th century or what late 16th century people were into. And it is quite well established that some things from the 20th century were all but forgotten by the 23rd century. For example, baseball. And even today I doubt very many random people would be likely to sing more than a few bars of Gilbert and Sullivan off the top of their heads..
This thread is why I love the whole Beastie Boys / "classical" thing in the reboot movies. If people are still listening to Gilbert & Sullivan in the 24th Century, why not the Beastie Boys too? I can dig it.
I can honestly say, I've laughed a few things from CinemaSins throughout the years, but this "Riker Beard".... man I haven't laughed like that in forever!!!!! Omg, so good! 😂😂😂
The Spaceballs gag was Gold. GOLD Jerry, GOLD!. Totally missed the oppertuinity to have Gimli say "NOT THE BEARD!" for Riker or a line when the Fellowship exit the Mines Of Moria, like: "Give them a moment for pity's sake", or "The enemy has many spies in his service. Birds, Beasts..."
Note: My siblings and I have always laughed at the joystick scene with Riker... not because it's stupid (though it IS) but because we all remember owning THE EXACT SAME JOYSTICK! End note.
This being essentially a two parter is why I like this so much more than most other Star Trek movies. Then again Star Trek 4 is my favorite OG Star Trek movie for the same reason.
"Do you know Gilbert and Sullivan?" "I haven't the slightest idea who that is." "But could you sing a song from their back catalogue with no guidance?" "Of course I could"
Being so traumatized by babyfaced Riker that he drew the beard back on Riker through the rest of the movie was the most hilarious thing I've ever seen on Cinema Sins! And it kept changing each scene 🤣
I always wondered how they managed to build that holographically hidden hide right on top of the village and none of the population heard or saw anything, lol. At least in TNG episode 'Who watches the Watchers' they built their hide way outside town.
I had the exact same thought about the uniforms on Riker and LaForge when I watched the movie yesterday. Mr. Karl would be good at CinemaSins! Also, the drawn-on beard was hilarious. Also also, the Galaxy Quest bit at the end was great!
1:28. Do the cloaked suits also remove the shadow? The footprints in the obvious soft ground? 5:15 Work was raised by Earth parents, the fact that he never heard "come out come out wherever you are", or don't know about Gilbert and Sullivan doesn't wash. Granted, the foster parents were Russian, but he lived on Earth, then went to Star Fleet which is headquartered in San Fran.
Sometimes I just listen to UA-cam videos while I do other things. SOOOOO glad I watched this one. The Riker scribble beards made me laugh out loud every time.
To be fair, Picard's crew have proven, on multiple occasions, that they are smarter than all of Starfleet's brainiacs when it's convenient. I mean when the plot requires it. I mean... when the hips are down.
I remember reading an article when this came out where they talked about how their goal was to make a movie that was like a feature length episode of the series. It's funny to me that that is the biggest critique most people have of the movie.
That number on the monitor (station ID) you sinned is actually the designation number of this Enterprise (NCC-1701-E). I'll go and yell "NEEERRRDDD!" at myself now for 5 minutes straight.
Reminds me of a Ken doll I had as a kid. It was called 'Mod Hair Ken' (yup, I'm that old 😂), and had reusable stickers with brown flocking shaped like beards, mustaches, and sideburns. Recreating that idea as a Riker doll would be hilarious! 😂
Not me celebrating when they actually did more star trek next gen after i suggested it 😂😂 Edit: hearing him laugh like that at the steering joystick was so funny to me 🤣
Along with the very inspired Riker beard gag, I don't think I've ever laughed harder during the outtakes before this one. As a big time Trekkie, loved this video.
I have a soft spot for Insurrection, it was the first star trek movie i saw in the cinema, I wanted to see First Contact but I was too young, and the Baku village theme is lovely
16:21 The actual sin is that in 7 years of TNG and 7 years of DS9, the "core ejection system" was always OFFLINE, when needed. So here, it is finally working and they don't show it in action.
I love that they kept the drawn beard gag all the way to the end of the video and with different beards to boot! I wish I could have done that back in 1998! 🤣🤣😂😂
I don't recall ever actually seeing this one when it came out or later on video. And now I don;t have to! The Riker beard gag was awesome! As were a number of Jeremy's wisecracks. Thanks!
The Admiral "I am doing something secretive, highly illegal, with a criminal organisation, inside Federation space. I know should be kept quiet as much as possible." Then invites the one crew in all of Star Fleet that has arrested more Admirals and stopped more secret plans than any crew since Captain Kirk.
I remember when this movie came out on VHS and I wanted to rent it because I had seen First Contact which I thought was good. I had a friend with me who was good knowledge at how movies are made, We rented it even though he had never seen a Star Trek movie. When the final part of the movie 20:16 started and he just screamed out loud. WHAT THE HELL! is this movie and it's effects completed?! The Blue Screen is still there!!
Got a strange look from my video store manager Spring\Summer 2003 I snagged a vhs copy of Nemesis (family hadn’t made the dvd change yet). And the Wesley cameo wasn’t even there😒
The only sin I’m going to go against is the one about the transport inhibitors. In numerous TNG episodes, both inhibitors and extenders had to be set at the correct angles from each other to work correctly, so carrying them wouldn’t work unless you had multiple copies of Data doing so. Still sinnable though, since they could’ve explained that in the movie, would’ve taken 30 seconds. “Transport inhibitors have been placed around the town” “Why can’t we take them with us and protect ourselves if they try to transport us mid hike?” “The inhibitors require being precisely 35 degrees apart, that wouldn’t be possible to maintain while on the move” Also, if you notice during the trip they do have inhibitors set up along the trail, though they shouldn’t work based on previous Treksplanations…
Little boy who has shown incredible mental discipline that is learning to like Data: "Why can't we carry them with us?" Data: "The inhibiters must remain stationary to provide maximum disruption. If we carry them with us, it will cause the field to fluctuate at an unacceptable level and allow the sensors of the ships to gain locks on us." Transport inhibitors are basically sensor jammers. They obscure the targeting sensors of the transporter enough that most transporter safety systems will prevent the actual beaming. You know, to prevent beaming up half a person. A thoron generator does this rather nicely(old Maquis trick). Inside the confines of an enclosed starship the inhibitor can be mobile and still work as the enclosed space contains the particles used to mask the signature. In the open air though, the generators would most likely need to remain stationary to provide adequate coverage for the masking effect. The computer needing to calculate the surrounding environment to produce the correct level of field while using as little power as possible to do it. Could just manually set them to max and walk around with them, but they would probably burn out after a few minutes to an hour. This is just speculation though as the inhibitors are never actually explained on how they work. I'm just putting together information that makes the most sense to me.
I've seen this movie a few dozen times and never asked why didn't the enterprise crew simply beam the groups closer to the mountains . but then the movie wouldn't be long enough.
5:20 Worf's "no" head shake is priceless - and probably how many felt about watching this movie. (I admit it ranks higher for me than Nemesis, but not by much. I'll still watch it, though.)
@@desperateneedofscotch that it is! Also love the D, the original and the A (which basically was a re-fit of the original, if I'm not mistaken - though if I am, feel free to correct!)
i was never a big Star Trek fan growing up. but i did like the concept of the Prime Directive and how it has been expanded upon in other media. first variant i ran into was in Star Ocean 3, and their Underdeveloped Planet Preservation Pact, or UP3 as they shorten it to.
I've been a huge Trek fan since about 4 years old, and always hated the concept of the Prime Directive. It's a plot point that seldom pays off, while being a terrible generalisation that takes no interest in nuance. They either blatantly violate it without reprimand, spend a single line of dialogue justifying why it doesn't apply, or pull out some deus ex machina that allows them to not face the moral implications. It's an important part of Starfleets identity, but it's one of a few points where the Federations "utopia" ends up looking rather dystopian.
ooooohhhh, I've been waiting for this one. TOS or TNG, this one gets me every time and is my all time favorite Star Trek movie! Thanks for the laughs. 🖖 Live long and prosper, Cinema Sins. 🖖
@@Revkor yeah, looked it up, the episode Cathexis did it in 1995, Insurrection was 1998. I wasn't watching Voyager when it first came out myself, as parents didn't wanna pay for cable.
One sin you forgot was Starfleet having cloaking devices! Starfleet has a treaty with the Romulans that basically says that Starfleet can NEVER develop cloaking tech. Or it means war with Romulus. And for the record the Uss-Defiant doesn't count as at the time the cloak was a loaner from Romulus.
The main thing about 20:27 is it's a weak callback to the episode in which Picard had to nail a whole speech in an insectoid language. Four simple syllables should be less than nothing to him.
Everytime you added the beard to riker, you need to deduct a sin from the movie since the sin of rRiker shaving it off s no longer valid. So in the end, with all the scenes with the added beard, the total sin number is down to 0 . So it can be said that by adding the beard, you made this a very good movie !
Drawing Riker's beard in every subsequent scene is the funniest thing CS has ever done 😂
Saaaaaaame 😅
I almost spit my coffee when I saw the drawn on beard. #RikersBeard
I've not finished the video yet, but I'm hoping for a zztop beard. Before the end
I know right, that killed me!😂😂😂
It made the movie SOOO much better.
The drawn on beards for Riker made my day 🤣🤣
No kidding. Should have changed it every single scene.
I love the drawn-in Riker facial hair. They get more and more ridiculous with each scene 😂.
Also love this one off movie. It has no real reason to exist other than to just have fun, let the crew enjoy a sorta mid-life crisis, before getting slapped around in Nemesis.
17:32 looks about right if you squint.
Does this mean the mirror-universe riker has to shave now?
Can’t you say that about anything
There is actually a serious moral debate in this movie, but on the other hand the idea that this planet allows its inhabitants to be immortal was a little ridiculous even for Star Trek.
Big props to the editors for making sure Riker had a drawn-on beard for the last third of the video.
"They will not, they will be vaporized"
Way to hit me in the feels so hard I died laughing
He meant SUBLIMATED, because Data is made of solid matter, not liquid.
I can't help but laugh out loud every time the drawn facial hair appears on screen.
Not half as bizarre as Henry Cavill's CGI-erased moustache as Superman.
"Did the guy designing the death star transfer to star Fleet?".... freaking laugh out loud.... nicely done.
Riker's beard getting different styles in every different scene is one of the best jokes ever! 😂
And HE directed the damned thing!
I literally laughed out loud at your incredible artwork on Riker's face. One of the funniest things i've seen for ages. Thanks for the mega laugh
As opposed to figuratively laughed out loud?
I like how it is a different style beard each time. he even had a handlebar mustache at one point. I found myself giggling even though I was quiet through the rest of the video so that I didn't wake up my sleeping family in the other rooms.
The commitment to the beard is perfection. Thank you for making me smile today!
'Far more risky and far less useful' had me on the floor. Can't not love the OG Riker Manoeuvre
Yup. Helluva Tactic card in the CCG.
That was before he started throwing asteroids - the ultimate Riker Manoeuver.
I love the specificity and applicability of these sins that can only come with an extensive personal knowledge of the Star Trek universe
😩NERRRRRRRRDDDDDD!
The drawn on beard killed me 😂😂
The beard bit? That's a great gag.
This is NOT sarcasm.
What I find so funny at 17:38 is that it is not just a manual steering column, but it also has a button to supposedly fire phasers and torpedos.
Even Galaxy Quest used a HOTAS...
Oh they've had sticks in *most* bridges, just not tng era because it was notoriously all touch screen bullshit everywhere lol
All steering columns are "manual". That's their job.
@@jordansean18Also, it's not unlogical. Touch screens can break, but an atari Joystick can last forever. Just ask every iphone user :D
@@NeoTechni I wonder what model of PC joystick it was?
Lol the paint shop beard made this exponentially better
The drawn on Riker beard make this video 1 million time better.
He looks naked without the beard
I haven’t laughed like that for an age. Riker’s beard being drawn on absolutely creased me up. 😂😂
"Bags of mostly water" was an excellent reference. Congrats, Jeremy.

My favorite is Data's ability to process millions of calculations per second, yet somehow get fully distracted by a sing-a-long.
I always wondered how they managed to build that holographically hidden hide right on top of the village and none of the population heard or saw anything, lol. At least in TNG episode 'Who watches the Watchers' they built their hide way outside town.
They simply beamed it into the mointain, I guess. As it's not humans, they need to fear of interferences that might kill something.
PUT THE BEARD BACK! had me laughing. I lost it when it moved with Riker in the next scene. Great upload!

Halfway through this video, I'm like "when does Tom Hardy finally appear?" 😂😂😂
Riker’s beard is fantastic! I was laughing so hard every time it changed! Thank you for that!
seriously the riker beard is chef's kiss
You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!!!
I have a flashback and I'M DYING🤣😂
“...no space, no stars!”
Ahem... The Paramount logo has stars around the mountain.
The scribble beard nearly killed me! 😂
Laughed way too long and hard at Riker's beard.
What are these videos man they are so devastating! I can't get enough
"What am I going to do without you?"
Never be heard from again and mentioned once in passing.
The drawn-on beards... O man... especially the Salvador Dali. One of my best laughs ever. Thanks man.
I'm also so happy that you took the time to track rikers drawn beard to his face 😂😂
Love the Spaceballs reference at the end
You missed the "Brent Spiner sings in Star Trek cliche"
The effort of keeping the scribbled-on beard moving with Riker's face is appreciated xD
That number on the monitor (station ID) you sinned is actually the designation number of this Enterprise (NCC-1701-E).
I'll go and yell "NEEERRRDDD!" at myself now for 5 minutes straight.
maybe 10 minutes, that's REALLY super nerdy!!!
The beard was hilarious already, but then you added the handlebar mustache? 😂
Reminds me of a Ken doll I had as a kid. It was called 'Mod Hair Ken' (yup, I'm that old 😂), and had reusable stickers with brown flocking shaped like beards, mustaches, and sideburns. Recreating that idea as a Riker doll would be hilarious! 😂
