In the final scene on the bridge, Spock and
McCoy are wearing colored arm bands which identify their
departments: Spock's is orange (for Science) and McCoy's
is green (for Medical). In the very last shot, Spock is
wearing the green band and McCoy is wearing the orange
one. |

|
When Kirk leaves the Enterprise, you can
see the set behind him, because this scene, among some
others, was added prior to airing the show on ABC.
Kirk's suit also changes from the time that he is seem
leaving the ship to the time that Spock is sent back
unconscious. |

|
In the scene where the 4 officers and
Ilia exit the ship onto the hull and begin walking
towards the V'Ger structure, the outline of the hole
left in the matte painting of the Enterprise saucer
section is clearly visible. |
|
|
|
This is only in the "extended version" of
the movie. When the Enterprise
is inside V'Ger, Spock leaves the ship and flies around
in a spacesuit. He exits and re-enters the ship in a
white spacesuit with a round helmet, but is shown flying
around in an orange suit with a conical helmet. |

|
When the travel pod arrives at the
Enterprise with Scotty and Kirk, The computer says
"Travel pod available Cargo 6", but the sign above the
door says "5". |
|
|
|
This is only in the original version of
the movie. In the original series Spock mentioned that
Vulcan has no moons. In the movie, when Spock is on
Vulcan, he looks up and shields his eyes against the
glare of the sun. When the scene changes, it is night
and there are moons. This has been corrected in the
Director's Edition. |

|
|
When V'Ger first appears on the bridge as
a column of light, you can see that the two sides of the
image don't match up, because they tried to splice the
special effects person who was moving the column out of
the shot. |

|
|
After Spock's arrival, the Enterprise is
finally able to exceed Warp 1. At the end of the test
run, the shot shows the Enterprise, the beautiful light
spectrum tube, and the pop/explosion created by warp
speed. The problem is the pop/explosion and the spectrum
tube do not line up. It's almost as if the two started
at different points. |
