Wrath of Khan Magazine article from 1982

That Chapel and sarek scene is exactly what you"re talking about when you say instantly recognizable as a deleted scene!
There's not a lot cut from Star Trek 4 but that was the one scene that I always most wanted to see in live action
 
Maurice was referring to the Scotty picture (see below), not the president.




Regarding the Scotty picture...

...it was published as a deleted scene picture by Trekcore here: http://www.trekcore.com/specials/thumbnails.php?album=163

And here there is a confirmation, saying that the picture comes from the wife of the bearded actor: https://startrek.blognook.com/2017/05/02/scottysmurftrekcorestill-from-a-deleted-scene-in-the/

The description reads: "Still from a deleted scene in “The Undiscovered Country” in which the assassins stalk Scotty after he finds the missing space suits."

There is also this backstage picture, which would seem to confirm it's actually a deleted scene picture.

Damn, those cadet uniforms look great in black and white.
 
Another "publicity photo" that turns out to be an actual deleted scene.
Anyone remember 10 years ago where a ton of Wrath of Khan deleted material was dismissed as "publicity photos" -?
"They never filmed the baby scenes, they never filmed the original Kirk vs. David fight, they never filmed McCoy recognizing Terrell as an old shipmate, the never filmed Khan mentioning Marla by name...!!"

Those were "from the novel only", "from the script but not filmed", "only publicity shots"

Then came the workprint and silence -- now it's other deleted material that was never shot.
 
i have a ton of old cinefantastique issues collecting dust in my garage. i'll go through them this weekend and see if there are any pics of deleted scenes I may have overlooked back in the day.
 
I found a site with just about every issue of cinefantastique scanned in.
Link is here

The Wrath of Khan issue is here

Scroll down to page 55 and I believe we have a new deleted scene picture. Kirk wearing his glasses in his apartment reading the Romulan Ale bottle as McCoy looks on. Apologies for not posting the picture itself my phone is not cooperating or I just don’t know how to attach pics straight from my album. Warning! for a movie magazine It did have an occasional risqué photograph or two so I would classify this as not SAFE FOR WORK Just an FYI. I hope this is a new picture because I’d like to feel like I’m contributing here instead of always asking questions!

Actually I did post this picture in the old thread, but I can't thank you enough for the link to the scanned Cinefantastique issues. I've already downloaded the full Starlog collection from the Internet Archive (https://archive.org/details/starlogmagazine) and I've been looking for a while for something similar for Cinefantastque!

Anyway here is the picture:

And here is another picture from another deleted scene from Star Trek II: McCoy attending an injured Chekov.

Well....shit. Nm then lol.
 
So true. The dinner scene was the most edited down in the movie with all the secondary actors getting (and then losing) some nice lines where they were actually used as human characters rather than just functionaries of the ship. The first two acts of Trek 6 had a lot of great material cut that would have added at most 5-8 minutes of run time. A bit more at the Starfleet briefing, a glimpse of Kirk giving Gorkon a tour of the ship, the dinner scene, the trial and Martia's intro.

Would you have a link to the alternate versions? I'd be interested in reading the snipped dialogue from both TUC and TSFS.
 
Cool, thanks. :) I find, for me, the novelization of TFF fills in a lot of gaps that the movie doesn't cover and explores some interesting areas. Had some of the details existed for the film, it would be an improvement.
 
The novelization of Star Trek V does the most to improve on the movie than any of the others
 
I think that was the best issue of that mag ever.

Naturally--I missed it.
I agree. I haven't gone through every issue yet but I have to say, i'm surprised at how many negative reviews i've found so far. Those guys didn't like anything!

i'll have to look that one up. as a child I really liked the trek 2 and trek 3 novels a lot. I never got around to reading 4-6.

There was also a scripted "round up of the crew" that was removed from the prologue of ST VI. Not filmed. (Scotty lecturing cadets about the Klingon Bird of Prey, Chekov losing a card game to a Betazoid, Uhura at Starfleet Command, etc.) Denny Martin Flinn dropped the sequence back into the beginning of his Trek novel, "The Fearful Summons".

Yeah, I like the idea of that scene a lot, but some of it played kind of campy in the novel. They cut it from the film because IIRC, it would've cost at least another million to shoot (Different sets/locations for each crew member, presumably new civilian clothing for the Enterprise crew & whatever extras were needed, a specific guest actor in Bibi Besch, an optical for the Klingon Bird of Prey in the Scotty scene, etc.). That stuff adds up quickly, and as it wasn't essential to the plot and possibly would've been lost in the editing, anyway... Easy thing to cut.
 
Campy or crappy take your pick. Uhura was actually a talk show radio host I ala Oprah, get it? Chekov lost a chess match to a Betazoid, he's Russian get it?
McCoy was at a medical conference just about to get into an altercation because he was drunk because he's McCoy get it?
The only one I would have wanted to see was Kirk and Carol reconciled.
