But, in addition to honoring the classics, the film revisits such cult films as Megaforce , the megabomb starring Barry Bostwick (“the good guys always win... even in the 80’s”), The Beastmaster, The Sword & The Sorcerer, a low budget Conan cash-in and Liquid Sky , a film about miniature aliens in New York who thrive on heroin and sex.

I love Star Trek 2 as much as any one, but what was "confusing" about The Motion Picture?

[@job38four10]

I remember watching Star Trek The Motion Picture when it came out on tv, after halfway through I go same ole stupid Star Trek, and remember thinking the 60s tv series was better. So when Star Trek II came out in 82, I dont even remember it being advertised on tv for the big screen so I didn't see it in the theater.
But when renting movies started to be the next big thing in early 80s I remember seeing a poster of Star Trek II at the rental store and decided to watch it. I remember as I started watching movie, I go what is this, this is more stupid then the Motion Picture, then it started showing that it was just a reenactment of a final battle scene on ship, so ok I kept watching and soon after the first acted, I go wow this is getting good, then I see Khan and remember thinking this is really a good movie, and when over I go WOW that was the best Star Trek I ever seen, I lost count how many times I watched that movie since. Then after that movie I kept eye out for next Star Trek at the theater and seen them all at the big screen, some 3 times in a row, until Undiscovered Country, every Star Trek after that has been garbage.....

The oversized 1982 Starfleet Communicator @ 1:20 was the single ugliest Star Trek prop to ever grace any Star Trek movie or television show.
