What's left behind the scenes

By the start of filming, the final version of the script had 5 different endings.
This is the first film in the series shot using location footage – the first three films were almost entirely shot on soundstages.
A few days before work began on the visual effects, a whale named Humphrey (all remaining whales in the world have names and identification numbers on their fins) swam into San Francisco Bay, and the crew joked for several days that the whale had come to audition for the film. This opportunity couldn't be missed, and the camera crew spent two days filming it. Unfortunately, bad weather ruined all the footage, and none of the takes could be used in the film.
The episode in which Chekhov questions passersby on the streets about the location of the nearest nuclear reactor was filmed exactly as it appears – the people walking by were unaware and answered the first thing that came to mind. It is all the more interesting that one of the passersby, a woman with long dark hair, replied that the nearest nuclear reactors were located on warships in the bay or at a military base in Alameda. Her correct answer so surprised the entire film crew that Leonard Nimoy immediately offered her a contract for this small episodic role.
George Takei, who played Sulu, was quite unhappy with the lack of solo scenes for his character; therefore, he persuaded Bennett to write one specifically for him, in which he meets a young boy on the streets of San Francisco who is his great-great-great-grandfather (Sulu is his sixth-generation descendant). Leonard Nimoy agreed to film this episode, but it was subsequently cut during editing and never made it into any of the final versions of the film.
The opening credits of the film begin with a dedication to the crew of the Space Shuttle Challenger, who tragically died in the explosion during launch on January 28, 1986. It reads: “The cast and crew of Star Trek dedicate this film to the crew of the Space Shuttle Challenger, whose heroic spirit will live on in the 23rd century and beyond…”
The end credits of the film roll over photographs and snippets from various scenes of the film, including working moments. In one such working moment, James Doohan, who played Scotty, can be seen losing his balance and diving into the water while leaving the 'Enterprise' after its water landing.
