Ricardo Montalban Recalls Khan

Posted by chrisd on from the herve-villechaize-was-in-a-bond-movie dept.

phyy-nx writes "Scifi.com, in referring to the directors cut of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn (coming out on DVD Aug 6), has quoted clips from an interview with Ricardo Montalban. Montalban portrayed the vengeful Kahn in one of the best perfomances in one of the best of the (almost ten) Star Trek films. He mentions how difficult it was to portray Khan after six years of Mr. Roarke of Fantasy Island and how he overcame that mold to masterfully portray his new character's controlled insanity." Or, as Kirk would say: Khaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!

  1. My favorite Trek movie by mwarps · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'm so happy this is coming out on DVD in Director's Cut form. Way too cool.

    One of the best Treks ever. More action in one movie than there was in the whole original series, at least believable action. All I can think of is Capt Kirk in one of those badly rehearsed street fights. He falls over the way he speaks. Slow and Delayed. Shatner put on his Acting cap for this movie though. Great stuff.

    ST2:TWoK rocks. It had suspense, a halfway "logical" script, and tragedy.

    All the other movies besides the first one just look like beefed up half-ass tv episodes looking to make a quick buck off the guillable but loyal Star Trek fan base.
