It is unclear exactly how Saavik can be
both a Starfleet cadet and hold the rank of lieutenant,
unless she was had already graduated from the Academy and
was now attending command college. |

Incorrectly Regarded as a Mistake: The interior of the Botany Bay varies
significantly from what was seen in
TOS: "Space Seed."
This is not a mistake. In "Space Seed" the Botany Bay was left behind to drift away after Khan took control. In the movie, Khan refers to the structures the survivors live in as cargo bays that Kirk left for them when they were marooned. |

The most publicized mistake of the movie
is, of course, why Khan recognizes Chekov when the
character wasn't introduced until the second season of
the classic series. Several theorizes range from Chekov
leading a security team to Engineering in
"Space Seed" in a failed attempt to retake the
Enterprise, to Walter Koenig's theory which claims that
Chekov made Khan wait to use a restroom and depleted the
stall's supply of toilet paper, at which point Khan
exclaimed "I'll never forget your face!" |

It is not explained exactly why Scotty
brings Preston's charred body to the bridge following
the battle with Khan. He may have lived had Scotty gone
directly to sick-bay. |

Kirstie Alley (Saavik) is visibly
startled when William Shatner (Kirk) punches through the
glass cover of the storage container aboard Regula I. |

While Chekov is laying unconscious in the
corridor adjacent to the Genesis cave prior to the
landing party beaming up to the Enterprise, when the
team materializes in the transporter room, Chekov has
suddenly joined the group. |

When the Reliant fires the torpedo at the
Enterprise to prevent them from entering the Mutara
Nebula, David is seen walking around Dr. McCoy's office,
only to step off the turbolift onto the bridge mere
moments later. |

When the Enterprise jumps to warp to
escape the detonation of the Genesis Device, the warp
effect is different than in the scene where Sulu says
"So much for the little training cruise." This is the
result of the use of stock footage from
"Star Trek: The Motion Picture" being used in the
latter scene. |
