OMG that photo makes it look like a fun vehicle. Pity we don't have them.

I loved that movie. And it's silly premise that the saucer's antigrav field was lethal to Human males so only females could pilot it.
When Kirk is being examined in Sick Bay after the landing party beams back up, he is laying flat on the examination bed. The "buzzing fly" sound effect happens, and Kirk gets up and begins talking to McCoy about how the ship has likely been "invaded." The cool thing I never noticed is that Kirks hair "moves" for a split second like a burst of air had hit it- just as the buzzing noise is happening, as if he has been touched.
Ah, the ins and outs of hi-def TV!In LTBYLB during the destruct engage sequence there are closeups of Lokai's face. You can plainly see the red line that Fred Phillips drew to seperate the black and white makeup sides of his face.
Worse than that, the Romulan Commander intentionally averting her eyes from where the cloaking device should be until its absence is called to her attention.That was a bit of silliness. Shatner having to intentionally NOT notice the giant obvious device smack dab in the center of the room, and browse the bland control panels.
In a recent re-watch of "The Gamesters of Triskelion", I noticed that after Kirk throws the spear through Lars in the final fight, Lars is lying in the background for the rest of the sequence with the bloody, pointy end of the spear sticking out of his back. This was the first time I spotted that.
Also not noticed by me until late in life was the fact that Shatner crunched his communicator when he rolled over it when they popped in. The grille is bent and stuck open in a few shots after he gets up. Also, Shatner has no heels on his boots in the fight scenes.
