Watch: Kirk’s ‘Wrath Of Khan’ Scream But In Claymation

| July 11, 2021 | By: TrekMovie.com Staff 15 comments so far

Kirk’s “Khaaaaan!” scream may be the most iconic moment of the Star Trek film franchise, and it has been recreated and referenced multiple times. This week brought a new and rather unique spin for the Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan moment.

Clay Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!

Check out this (very) short film from Dust, celebrating the 5-year anniversary of their sci-fi site and streaming channel.

As reported by io9 , Dust – the sci-fi offshoot of the Gunpower & Sky entertainment company – commissioned claymation recreations of five of the greatest sci-fi scenes of all time, with the first being from Star Trek II .

‘Star Trek II’ Actress Kirstie Alley Has Died

This is pretty damned accurate.

I’ve got to get my old super-8 movies onto digital. Back in the 80s I did a perfect version of this KHAN! thing myself (along with a ‘get out! Get out of there! Get out of there now!’ from Kruge and ‘klingon bastard, you’ve killed my acting career!’) at the end of a couple of rolls of film when there wasn’t enough left to do another scene. I got the trembling face part really really right, probably because I used to do the Clint Eastwood, ‘where’s the girl?’ part of DIRTY HARRY also.

I appreciate the animator’s fine attention to detail.

Sometimes my husband thinks that my passion for Star Trek has gone too far. For those times, I collect examples of people who are further out there than I am. Okay, husband, there’s a person who has spent the enormous amount of time Claymation takes to re-create Kirk’s scream in TWOK. :-)

So….lifelike.

Amazing what salons can do with mud to deage us old buzzards.

He’s so… human. Nobody’s perfect, Saavik.

What are the other four?

Will anybody ever animate PIcard’s ‘there are x-number of lights’ bit? Or ‘the line must be snorted HERE!’ for that matter. Not quite as memorable in the same way maybe?

Snorted? A coked up Picard does explain a few things…..

I remember during TNG season 2 thinking Stewart had to be on coke, because he seemed to be sniffing and sniffling a lot, and it reminded me EXACTLY of how Heather Thomas had sounded on her TJ HOOKER episode (It’s basically 48HRS with her playing the Eddie Murphy part), and that was a case when her addiction became very public shortly thereafter.

Have heard absolutely nothing to ever support that, but it’s how he sounded to me, and I watched at least 18 episodes of s2 before giving up on the show till partway through s3, when I found out they were taking unsolicited scripts.

Kirk was acting. “Hours into days”. His scream was part of the act, lol. Kirk was a better actor than Shatner, lol.

Yeah, the way he say ‘ captain spock, damage report,’ was a very subtle flag that nobody seemed to notice opening night except me.

Then again, I’m also the only person in my group who recognized Julian Glover as the bad guy in FOR YOUR EYES ONLY the year before — that was on the basis of him suggesting a wine that Moore-Bond passes on as being too scented for his palate.

If only there was a way to translate this kind of thinking into financial rewards. (I never figured out a way of making money off how I could recite Pete Rose’s first 11 years of major league batting averages from memory either: 273, 269, 312, 313, 301, 335, 348, 316, 304, 338, 284.)

But Spock was the captain. Kirk was the admiral.

Yeah, but the way he said it mattered. It wasn’t like the way he said ‘captain’ or ‘captain’s discretion’ during the dock departure, it was ‘off’ — but not off in a Shatner way. I really wonder if Meyer dared to give him a line reading for that, or led him to that reading in some other way. Hope it didn’t take as long as ‘here it comes.’

Acting, indeed. But more importantly, he was selling it because he knew exactly what his radio audience was shopping around to buy.

We should get Spock’s ‘Khan’ yell from STID too.

This will probably be the last post I’m able to write here.

How William Shatner's famed 'Wrath of Khan' cry became an instant 'Star Trek' legend

"KHAAAN!" is the cry that shook Earth and space.

William Shatner's  Admiral Kirk  unleashed the bellow at his rival Khan Noonien Singh (Ricardo Montalbán) in 1982's Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan,  a moment so profound it earned an instant spot in Star Trek history and popular culture.

Kirk's over-the-top shout-out put an exclamation point (or four) on Star Trek 's second film, sending the nascent film franchise into warp drive.

Fathom Events is bringing a  35th anniversary Wrath of Khan director's cut to theaters on Sept. 10 and 13. Prepare for an onslaught of "Khaaan!" imitations and puns, which amuses Shatner.

He insists that his vocal outburst was just another day at the office.

"Who thinks of those things when you’re making a film? Imagine thinking, 'I’m going to say the name 'Khan,' and years from now people will be talking about it,' " says Shatner, 86. "You'd barely make it through a whisper. It would make you awfully self-conscious."

History has shown that "Khaaan!" still resonates.

"As Shatner himself said, that cry is the most 'I-Khanic' moment in Star Trek history," says Scott Mantz, film critic for Access Hollywood , who interviews Shatner for a pre-movie segment. "If  Wrath of Khan is the Citizen Kane of Star Trek movies, then when Shatner yells 'Khaaan!' is the equivalent of Orson Welles whispering 'Rosebud.' "

The cry caps off the epic standoff between Kirk and Khan, with Khan taunting Kirk before he cripples the Enterprise, leaving Kirk stranded alive on a barren moon, "marooned for all eternity." 

Kirk, who is actually pretending his ship is disabled to lure Khan into a trap, roars in apparent frustration.

"He's an alpha male bellowing his alpha male cry, like I have seen elk do," says Shatner.

Director Nicholas Meyer says he wrote the line himself "in caps with four exclamation points."

"It’s a bit of a cheat," Meyer says. "Kirk has to make Khan believe that this round, and it appears to be a final round, has gone to Khan. He has to act like he is a man who is totally screwed."

Shatner doesn't recall more than a couple of "Khaaan!" takes. 

"I hate to open up that Khan of worms, It was actually a Khan-undrum on how to play it," says Shatner. He pulled the rage, amplified by Meyer's temple-throbbing close-up, from being "totally immersed in the emotion. You cannot fake that. People would recognize it."

The shout was a hit and  Wrath of Khan a box office success, allowing for a future that now spans 13 films. In 2013's  Star Trek   Into Darkness , featuring a new generation  Star Trek cast,  Zachary Quinto 's Spock paid tribute, yelling "Khan!" when Captain Kirk ( Chris Pine ) appears to die at the hands of young Khan ( Benedict Cumberbatch ).

"As I fan, I cringed. I couldn't believe they went there," says Mantz. "They cannot re-create that moment of Wrath of Khan  magic."

Shatner will only say this about that Into Darkness  utterance: "(Quinto) gives a great impression of screaming 'Khan.' " 

Other tributes have been more successful, including an operatic stop-motion animation version seen on Robot Chicken (part of Cartoon Network's Adult Swim late-night programming) with a dramatic Italian cry that Meyer admires.

The original bellower refuses to comment on the parodies.

"I Khan-not do that," says Shatner. "They are not worthy of consideration, really. Especially by me."
