The most satisfying "clunk" in the whole history of film making 😂😂
Admiral ! There be whales here ! One of the best lines ever !
Always been one of my favorites as well.
Considering this movie's age it is easily one of the best sequels if not one of the most wholesome good movies.
I still remember when there was nothing but Star trek.
Star wars was movies and in your imagination but Star trek was everyday in my living room in my face.
I believe James Doohan has said that's his own personal favorite line of dialogue ever.
I remember seeing this in the theater when it first came out. When the Klingon Bird of Prey appeared over the whaling ship the whole theater erupted in laughter.
+star trek thats one of the things i like about going to the movie theatre, the reaction of other people to the movie. I remember i went to see transformers 7 times and didnt get bored, and was enjoying myself knowing the scenes and wanting to see people's reactions to the movie.
Looks like a green eyeball with wings
That made me laugh reading your comment!
Love those moments. Saw that in the theater as well. I also saw Jaws in the theater and everyone in front of me jumped at the same time when the shark first appeared after Brody was chumming fish guts into the ocean. It looked like a shockwave moving throught he audience back towards me.
that what our theater did the Opening night of Movie
THE WHOLE MOVIE IS A MASTERPIECE.
I agree
It was a "whale" 🐳 of a movie!
I love when the Klingon Bird of Prey shows itself to the whalers. It makes me laugh every time. This movie is proof that we don't need CGI for everything.
Movie Fan Greenpeace on steroids.
Lol! If Greenpeace had a Klingon Bird of Prey no one would be whaling anymore that's for sure.
My favourite scene from my favourite Star Trek film. The tech effect was probably not that sophisticated but it doesn't matter, it had me on the edge of my seat back then and still does now.
*HARD TO STARBOARD!!!!*
but isn't that partly cgi?
Without a doubt, the single greatest moment in all of the first six movies.
I’m so glad that Admiral Kirk and company were able to save George and Gracie from being hunted. Those whale hunters got the shock of their lives.
I'm all in favour of preserving the timeline, but in this case, i am perfectly happy to make an exception for that whaling ship.
Such a good movie. Definitely one of my favourites with this crew.
Those whalers getting the crap scared out of them was the best bit of the movie.
+BigLuke1980 i agree. bought the VHS tape not knowing what to expect. replayed the whalers scene aobut a hindred times when my uncle came over to stay for a few weeks. mom couldn't understand what was so funny about the scene.
Nah the best scene was the hospital scene
@@nativeguy1968 Whaling wasn't frowned upon back in the 50's and 60's. It was just large scale fishing to most people. This was changed by two factors - too much whaling which got them classified as endangered in the 70's, and the discovery that their intelligence was relatively high, also in the 70's.
This movie is by far my absolute favourite of Trek films. Seeing Spock show off his human side more and the whole hospital scene.
"The doctor gave me a pill and I grew a new kidney!"
could've just beamed Chekov out tho...
"Sir, I swear! I SWEAR that there appeared a gigantic green seagull in the sky when we wanted to kill this whale! I am a sailor, you know that we are trustworthy!"
Boss: Uh huh, sure, you're still fired"
Beautiful view of the B'rel class
She's a beaut!
Probably not. This was a camcorder in the 80s: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/30/RCA_VHS_shoulder-mount_Camcorder.jpg/240px-RCA_VHS_shoulder-mount_Camcorder.jpg
I remember them well.
@Daniel Appleton in 1984 people were lucky to have a video camera and it was almost as big as a professional tv one. Also, still cameras have taken photos of UFOs since the 1950s and yet no one believes them.
@@Cydonius1 I remember the first time I saw a private camera used, round about '84. It was my end of pre-school stage dance or whatever. The guy was my little girlfriend's father, one of the wealthy in town. He was so serious, with his tripod set up and his big mustache. It was like, wow, this guy has a Video Camera! This is serious! As a kid I'd only ever seen one on the news or in movies.
Explorers of the Universe, but the awe in their voices and faces while behiolding the whales is joyous.
"Morning, BAD day for fishing ain't it, Hu HA"
Does it ever seem like the ship gets a power boost whenever Scotty gets excited?
Whalers: "Those Sea Shepherd people ain't no joke!"
P
Greatest scene in ANY Star Trek movie.
It remembers that Star Trek is fun.
Yes it is good, but my nomination is the opening scene in "ST The Motion Picture": The three Klingon K’t’inga battlecruisers approaching the V’ger cloud.
It is also the first scene of Klingons (with Mark Lenard is the Klingon commander) as they have been depicted ever since and the ‘oriental background’ music was perfect.
Too bad the rest of the movie wasn’t as good.
i can see it now being discussed on coast to coast am for years to come , maybe in search of or unsolved mysteries. tonite the mysterious dissaperance of a rouge marine biologist and 2 humpback whales . her truck was found idling in golden gate park and never seen again.
voiced by "robert stack."
In one of the Star Trek novels when they go back in time, one of the news bits that is mentioned is about a Cetacean biologist that disappeared a while back. (Forgot the name of it though)
Admiral! There be whales here!
Love this movie, although can’t imagine that going to warp in earths atmosphere would be anything other than catastrophic
The same thing was thought of an Atomic Detonation within Earth's atmosphere.
Is it just me, or when the whales materialized in the cargo hold did they look singularly unimpressed? lol
Scotty: Admiral there be whales here
Whale: mehh
I suppose it's implied they are already from space due to the probe looking for them at the start.
DCdabest that an Spock mind-melded with Gracie and through the meld explained what was going on and she presumably in whatever and however way whales communicate with each other, told George what was up. Ergo, the meh expression
@@chrismc410 *During the Mind-Meld* "At one point we're going to have you de-materialize from the ocean then you'll re-materialize in a cargo bay that we have converted into a whale tank for ya. It may feel kinda weird"
Whale hunters, "There be UFOs....we swear".
I think the helmsman must've spun the wheel off of it's mounting the way he was cranking it around. I don't think a rudder has that much play on a fishing boat.
I still get misty-eyed watching this scene from years ago.
I do hope Scotty left some room in the tank for them to surface once in a while.
I suppose Dr. Gillian mentioned that at some time.
My favorite ship in ALL the ST world
Whalers: "Oh sh*t! Klingons! Im getting the hell out of here!"
"Admiral, there be whales here!"
will be talked about on unsolved mystries , coast to coast am and in search of for years .:)
I love this movie….great scene
Those whalers had a whale of a story to tell.
And the bird of prey is designed to look menacing in the 23rd century. Those 20th century whalers would definitely crap their pants
This is the best scene of the entire film, if not all the movies with the original cast. But seriously... Going to warp in a solar system is one thing, but while not even out of the atmosphere? Serious risk takers right there.
Emperor of Cartoons He's talking about the ending bit, not when they're moving toward the whales
Not that I'm surprised, personally; these guys made careers out of taking risks. Scotty even said so in 'Relics': "I have spent my entire life coming up with crazy ways of solving things."
It was nice of George and Gracie to stop swimming so Scotty could get the lock :)
Spock had told them to do so via telepathy.
240p ??? I didnt know that resolution still existed. Thanks for demonstrating it here.
such a beautiful scene :-)
That whole movie was beautiful.
MY FAVE ONE still to this day
What would have been funny would be to see Sulu dressed in a WWII-era aviator’s jacket and cap, complete with the goggles, pushing forward on the joystick to get the Bird-of-prey to pitch nose-down in pursuit of the whaling ship! Of course, that would entail installing a stick on the Bird-of-prey, but - hey - if they can install a “manual steering column” on the Enterprise-E, how hard can it be to put a stick on a Bird-of-prey, eh? 🤣
Bird of Preys were built to be heavily pilot oriented---a starship, OTOH, wasn't about high speed maneuvers and tight close quarters handling. In short, Sulu was in heaven piloting this thing. As such, you really didn't need to 'take manual control'---the ship is always under manual control.
Well, except for the Defiant, and to a lesser extent the Intrepid class (Voyager).
Not to mention that entire Insurrection scene was ridiculous---the Starfleet trained helmsman could have done that maneuver in their sleep. As well as that cheap Commodore 64 joystick.
This is awesome👍
Did anyone wonder how Scotty managed to get full warp power only seconds after beaming up 400 tons worth of whale? WTF?!? 😝
He's quite a miracle worker
Eventually the ship's wheel goes to a hard stop on a mechanical stop, You cannot just keep turning the wheel forever.
Scotty sure made the heaviest beam up when he beamed up the 2 humpback whales and water onto the Klingon ship.
400 tons!
@@davidharrison7014well it's not just the whales, it's the water. Don't worry though the bounty took it like a champ.
James Doohan thought that "There be whales here" would become a memorable movie quote (like "I see dead people" did 13 years later).
It didn’t.
my favorite parts of this scene:
*fires harpoon* DOING! *splash*
"what the heck?" (not sure what they really said)
the bird-of-prey decloaks (menacingly) and scares them witless
*scotty beams the whales up*
"...admiral, THERE BE WHALES HERE!"
Can't decide whether the best Trek movie was this one or Wrath of Khan.
Even after all these years im still in love with her
The whale?
GOOD MORNING whalers!! Good luck getting anyone to believe this one.
I love this scene, but it does differ from the one I seen in the movies. In the movies it showed the void in the ocean when Scotty beamed up the whales and the water. Then the void of water was quickly filled back in. Still a very good scene and one of my Favorite Star Trek movies.
I remember in the 80s it was all about Save The Whales... Whalesong... Humpback whales were the next thing after dinosaurs...
I guess we saved them (jk) because I haven't heard people talk about humpbacks in over 20 years.
shoots hapoon
*boing*
WHALERS: what was that
BoP: WHO DAFUQ JUST WOKE ME UP
Whalers: OMG ITS GREENPEACE GTFO HERE
Full power and really good luck 💪🤞.
Humpback whales are off the endangered species list. Maybe that woman was actually killing them and bringing her to the future is what saved them.
Klingons would have blasted that Norwegian boat.
Man that helms man was really turning hard to starboard. Must have spun the wheel round about 100000000000000000000000 times
Yeah, and watch the captain next to him. What the hell is HE doing? Playing patty cake? 😂
@@Skraboing649 Playing with himself.
Gracie was the daughter-whale in "The Meg"
I like how those scottish dramatic seconds are just a wee bit longer than oRdinary seconds!...
LOL, I remember when I saw this movie and was jackshitted when the whale hunting crew spoke Finnish :D Greetins from Finland!
Given the militaristic nature of Star Fleet, I think they should have fired on the whaling vessel. It still would have stuck with the mission they had. The scene I question was amazing and it still brings the hairs on my neck to a rise.
Though a laserdamage would raise suspicion. A blocked harpoon by a intergalactic Vessel though.. It is much harder to bring up against the authorities. And they tried to leave as less impact as possible in that timeline. Hard enough already, when invading hospitals and help random ill people with tech from the 23rd century.
That's more klingon style than the star fleet
Ironic that a Klingon Bird of Prey is being used like a typical Federation ship. It's like the Klingons using an Oberth for a raid.
If you watch Picard notice the whalers steering the ship looks like captain Rio's one clone holigram lol. Remember seeing this in the 80s as a kid it was sweet then and it's sweet now
They keep doing that. Cutting off just as I was getting into it. Damn!
It doesn’t matter how many times I watch that film , it still cuts me up-
“There be whales here....
So I'm guessing the cloaking device also masks the sound the Bird of Prey's engines would make when operating within a planet's atmosphere? I'm also surprised the whaling ship crew didn't notice a huge gust of wind when the Bird of Prey made that low-level, high-speed pass over the top of them. Technical nitpicking aside, I loved this part of the film, especially the whalers' reactions when the Bird of Prey decloaked on top of them.
I wondered if they could create a stable warp bubble while still in the earth’s atmosphere - guess they would’ve had to go full impulse until they left the atmosphere. Maybe it was explained in the Unofficial and Unauthorized Nitpicker’s Guide to TOS
@@jeffreyhall5307 They go to warp while in the upper atmosphere in this very movie. See 3:47
Technically speaking, the warp bubble bends space and all matter within it around them. So it works in theory.
In reality, it’s really just what the writers want. If they want the ship to jump to warp in the atmosphere, then it is possible. If they don’t, they’ll write a reason why it isn’t.
Those insufferably selfish star men despoiled those stolid sailors of a suitably splendid asset.
Es gran peli.Con toques de comedia y un mensaje profundo.En Nimoy habia mucho de Spock.🌹🌿🌹🌿🌹🌿🌹💞
2:25 A wild klingon bird of pery appeared
Cloaked or not, I can't imagine being that close to that ship while it is hovering without it making its presence known, let alone the full speed decent. De-cloaking probably would have blown out the ear drums of both the whales and the whaling crew.
Greenpeace's new craft
Personally if I was in charge of the klingon ship I would have sunk the whaling ship ensuring no human casualties.
How did they make a warp jump in the atmosphere of the planet? They are not suppose to do that!
Been funny when those guys tell their government that a UFO appeared out of nowhere and scared the crap out of them. Everybody would laugh at them.
Those whales are just like "WTF?!"
The Bird of Prey's pilot going into warp-speed whilst still in the earth's atmosphere, especially at such low altitude, was irresponsible & reckless. The uncloaking, I approve of...
I was questioning that... I didn’t think you could jump to warp inside the atmosphere of a planet.
That wasn't just any pilot. That was Hikaru Sulu "indulging himself" as Spock said in The Wrath of Khan
@@neonhomer Voyager did it too in one episode. I don't remember which but Janeway ordered Paris to leave a planet whilst several small ships were pursuing and firing on them. Paris warned her about the risks but she ordered him anyway
clang. thud, jaw drops wtf
There was a video that is like this segment but there was 5 or so minutes before the start of this scene.
@RandomCamGuy1 Nope. It's a Klingon ship. The Romulan Warbird has no neck, it's a completely different model. It's the same ship from Star Trek III. The name "Bird of Prey" comes because the ship in ST3 was supposed to be a Romulan ship in the early drafts, became a Klingon ship, but the name was retained.
@iceskater1983 What has Greenpeace ever done to stop whaling effectively. Tell me.
Get on a speaker ( I am the whale guardian cease your killing or I'll return)
isn't it a bit risky, far less negligently to warp inside a planets atmosphere?
They tried to correct mistakes as they went along. As the sixth movie showed us that on shouldn't use impulse drive in space dock.
@@johnfic4751 impulse in Spacedock was simply Kirk being Kirk and I'm sure the Admiral in charge told the dockmaster to let that go. Kirk is gonna Kirk.
You shouldn't go to warp within a solar system but we all saw the Defiant under Kira's command say and do different. As she said to Dax, "If we don't, we won't have a solar system left."
The risk must be much more to the ship than to the surrounding environment, else you'd think this effect could be used as weapon in itself: Just send probes, and forget about photon torpedos, just have warp capable probes engage/disengage warp inside a planetary system to cause havoc.
Did they seriously just go to warp in the lower atmosphere? o_O
Cinema history is made. A bird of prey is fucking menacing looking!
What do you think is better. Admiral or Captain? Or sound's BETTER?!!!!!😃😃😃😃!!!!!!
I wish they did a follow up about the Whales. I know Gracie is pregnant but two Whales is not enough to repopulate the Earth with!
How did they manage to enter warp in a gravity well?
John Gaskill you always could enter warp in a gravity well. It's definitely not recommended
Going to warp in atmosphere? Wouldn't that have destroyed the northern hemisphere?
I remember seeing it too, but not this blurry...what century are we in?
Probably blurred to avoid detection for a copyright claim.
I'd guess that this what would happen in the JJ-Verse: The BoP pumps the Whaler Boat full with disruptors and torpedoes. :D
(I'm just joking and it is not my intention to start another discussion about JJTrek)
Rubén Blades al timón?!?!
Finnish whalers??? 0:19 "there they blow" ..... 0:46 "whales ahead"
would have been funny if at 2:17 the harpoon destroyed the Klingon craft
Well yeah but the spacecraft is supposed to be made of some future alloy. Some steel harpoon isn’t gonna be able to damage it. Hell not even todays warheads would be able to penetrate it.
most dont realize a bird of prey is larger than a 747 so its a big ship
Depends on the Bird-of-Prey. The small B'rel-class D12-class like the Bounty or Lursa and B'etor's Bird-of-Prey aren't big ships compared to other starships. K'Vorts are a little smaller than Vor'cha-class Attack Cruisers and they are significantly smaller than Negh'var-class cruisers, the biggest ships the Klingons have and even they are a good ⅓ the size of the Romulan D'deridex-class, the largest ship in the Alpha/Beta Quadrants. Most Klingon ships trade size for speed/maneuverability and forward firepower. Klingons are all about facing their enemies head on and it shows.
What does he say when the harpoon bounces off the Bird of Prey?=)
I thought Klingon ships were bigger than that?
As a Star Trek fan from the 60's, I had to totally throw my brain out the window with this silly plot. Fun yes, but otherwise dumb as heck.
The whalers speak (sort of) Finnish, in a way our swedish-speaking finns do. On the other hand, there are no Finnish whalers...
Answering to 2 years old comment, but why not :D Whalers isn't finnish but kven people, balto-finnic ethnic minority from northern parts of norway, mainly from finnmark and tromsø, and they speak kveeni, finnish-based languange which is influenced from norway and northern sami. Finnish people understand it quite well, especially if you didn't sleep in swedish classes.
Those whales must have been confused as fuck when they beamed aboard the Bird of prey
Just as Gillian was.
So how long did the whales have to hold their breath in the tiny aquarium?
Scotty left some area at the top of the tank for an air space.
You would shit your pants.
They should just torpedoed the Whaling Ship and blew them out of the water. That's the klingon way of solving this problem.
Nah. A Klingon would have done what Kirk did.
From a Klingon point of view, there's no honor or glory in destroying one, a whaling ship who cannot harm them and two, those who would destroy beings who can't defend themselves.
To a Klingon, the whalers aren't worth the energy, the torpedo or the time to kill them. Decloaking and showing what a true warrior is and seeing them scatter is satisfaction enough and the whalers live with their shame and dishonor, worse than dying to a Klingon.
My $0.02 cents
+chrismc410 I always thought of a Klingon response like this 'You want to slaughter these creatures, these whales so badly, Humans? Very well, you may do so...*IF* you can get by *US*. So come...if you think you've the mettle to match a ship full of Klingons.'
[the whalers run like they've seen a damn ghost, which, in a way, they have]
'That is what we thought. Cowards. Even these whales, *animals*, possess more honor and glory in their mere existence than YOU.'
And even if the Klingon commander were ruthless enough simply TO have blown them away (or pragmatic enough; if they HAD to decloak to use the transporter to beam the whales up, which I suspect really WAS the case here, and the Klingon captain didn't want to leave any witnesses alive for the remotest CHANCE that they might talk, likelihood of them being believed or not) he *wouldn't* have wasted the torpedo; he'd just use the disruptors, since any more wouldn't have been *worth* wasting on them-- or indeed *necessary*; one good salvo from those wingtip cannons, and what is left of that ship (OR its crew) is going home in a coffee mug.
(But overall, I agree wholeheartedly with your analysis-- very good sir; in a past life, in an alternate universe, you yourself must have been Klingon.)
DorianMichaelsIII He wouldn't even need the disruptors. The ship's repulsor thrusters, that's what making it hover in atmosphere at even a quarter power if that would be more than enough to capsize that whaling ship.
And how do you know one or more of those whalers was not an ancestor of someone important, like Captain Christopher in "Tomorrow Is Yesterday"?
@@amrak63 you mean descendant.. he was 1960s, this takes place in 1986
I’m rewatching this as something else to do instead of the impeachment trial against Trump.
This video is so gray that even the whales were WTF. #savethewhales
