“Star Trek: Generations” Goofs List
- Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Kirk circles his horse around Picard, his dialogue concerning the empty captain’s chair sounds as if it was dubbed in afterwards.
- Continuity: On the Enterprise-B, Ensign Sulu says that the starboard ship is collapsing. What we see on the screen is the ship exploding on our left, the port side of the ship.
- Revealing mistakes: During Worf’s promotion party on the sailing ship, a harbor buoy is clearly seen in the background 20 feet from the ship.
- Revealing mistakes: Before Kirk jumps the gap on his horse while in the Nexus, there is a shot from beneath the gap, looking up, and there appears to be a dark colored board or bridge across the gap. When we see Kirk jump the gap, the board is no longer present.
- Revealing mistakes: Roads are visible in the background during the climatic fight sequence on Veridia III, even though the planet is uninhabited.
- Crew or equipment visible: On the Enterprise-B bridge, when the ship is hit and crewmen go flying, you can see one man go over the bridge railing backward… twice, from different angles. When he lands the second time, the edge of a blue pad to cushion his fall pops up into the bottom of the shot.
- Continuity: During the crash sequence on the Enterprise-D, Worf is flying all over the place in the background. Immediately following the star drive’s destruction, the shock wave sends Worf flying to his left. He crawls back to his station and then falls to his left again. Immediately following, as Riker is screaming to Deana for a report, you can see Worf’s hands holding on to the railing right behind Riker. The next instant he is to the right of his station (our left, bringing himself up) and in the very next scene he is seated at his station.
- Continuity: When Data and Geordi look at Data’s emotion chip, which is supposedly suspended in a force field, the long close-up shows by the wobbling of the rotating chip that it is hanging from a string. The difference in motion is unmistakable.
- Continuity: The Enterprise-B’s hull has outcroppings on either side of the main deflector, indicative of a modified Excelsior-class design. However, these outcroppings are not present as it warps past on its way to the Lakul and the Nexus energy ribbon. (This is actually a reused shot from Star Trek VI where the Excelsior was charging to the Enterprise’s rescue)
- Revealing mistakes: When Data discovers his cat in the wreckage of the Enterprise, when he begins to cry, it is clearly visible that his makeup is coming off under the tears.
- Revealing mistakes: When Geordi and Data are looking at Data’s emotion chip you can clearly see LeVar Burton’s eyes through Geordi’s visor. As he raises his eyebrow while emoting to Data’s dialog, the lighting, which is more indirect and from above, filters down between his face and the visor back-lighting the visor and making his right eye visible. As he turns his head slightly you can also see his left eye, but not as clearly.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The toaster in Kirk’s house may look like a Dualit, which doesn’t “pop up” when done toasting. When done this model keeps the toast inside to keep it warm. There’s a manual lever to raise the toast for removal. But we are several hundred years in the future, even in Kirk’s time. How can we know this toaster does not operate the way we see it in the movie?
- Errors in geography: During the scene with Picard and Soran on Veridian III, talking about the Borg and time (“It’s like a predator. It’s stalking you.”), there’s one sequence when Picard and Soran stand face to face. You can clearly see that the sun is shining on the left side of Picard’s face, but it’s also shining on the left side of Soran’s face, so they can’t look at each other. Later on, Picard watches the trilithium missile launch and the sun explosion. He seems to be blinded by the sun, but again, it’s shining on the left side of his face, so he can’t be looking at it.
- Revealing mistakes: When Picard’s children arrive when he first enters the nexus, his youngest son, Thomas, can be seen mouthing the lines of his two sisters.
- Revealing mistakes: The Enterprise-B has outcroppings on either side of the deflector dish, however if you look at the ship’s schematics in the background and inside the turbolifts, you can see those schematics are of a standard Excelsior-class vessel, and those outcroppings do not appear on them.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The Guinan who appears inside the Nexus tells Picard that she is an “echo” or a part of herself the real Guinan left behind when she was beamed away onto the Enterprise-B. Obviously Picard was not yet born by then and Guinan would not have known him 80 years ago, so how would she know Picard once he’s inside the Nexus, if she didn’t known him when she was in there herself? They did meet before in TNG: Time’s Arrow: Part 1 and Part 2. Guinan tell Picard if he does not go on this mission they would never meet. They actually meet in the 1800s. in Ten-Forward, Picard is unnerved by a conversation with Guinan, who insists he break with tradition and accompany the Away Team back to the 19th century. Although she can give him no explanation. Guinan fails to recognize Data, but she is not shocked when he tells her that they serve together on the same starship in the 24th century. She listens with great concern to his story, subtly revealing that she, too, is not from Earth
- Plot holes: The gravimetric forces of the Nexus energy ribbon are so powerful they can destroy or severely damage any spacecraft, yet when the ribbon passes over the surface of Veridian III, scooping up Picard and Soran within it, the surrounding terrain somehow remains completely undamaged without so much a scratch.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: When Geordi returns to the Enterprise after his capture on the Klingon Bird of Prey, he is scene talking to Data in sickbay. Geordi is wearing the older Starfleet uniform (yellow jumper with black shoulders) but in the next scene when he walks into Engineering, he is seen wearing the newer uniform with the colors inverted (black jumper with yellow shoulders). One of the comments made by the Klingons while monitoring his activities is a recount of what he had done since leaving Sickbay. B’Etor first commented that “He bathed,” so it’s not unexpected that he would have changed uniforms.
- Revealing mistakes: The uniforms worn by Riker and LaForge don’t fit. This is because they’re using the same ones worn by cast members of “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine” (1993).
- Revealing mistakes: During the second saucer crashdown sequence after the trip through the Nexus, the first shot of the saucer hitting the planet surface is a swapped shot. It’s made clear by the ship’s very visible registry “NCC-1701-D” facing backwards.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: During the saucer separation sequence, there is a brief shot from under the Enterprise showing the saucer leaving the stardrive section. In that shot, what appear to be stars can be seen through the saucer itself, seemingly, due to ineffective or incorrect compositing. However some of these ’stars’ appear to move, suggesting they are in fact jetsam being released from the docking area.
- Factual errors: If you stopped nuclear fusion in a star it would shrink as depicted but it’s mass, and thus it’s gravity field, would stay the same. Orbits (and passing energy ribbons) would be unaffected. Further as the matter in the star compressed it would grow much hotter and take several million years to cool. The star would get hotter and brighter, not dimmer.
- Factual errors: Even if a collapse of a star could affect its gravity, this effect would propagate no faster than the speed of light, according to the theory of relativity. The same goes for all the other effects that are mentioned in the movie (e.g. increased radiation). And yet, according to Data, the destruction of the Amargosa star affected an entire sector (many light years across) in mere hours, instead of years.
- Plot holes: Picard does point out that Soran could simply fly into the ribbon in a ship. Data tries to explain this away by noting that all ships that approach the ribbon are either destroyed or severely damaged. But this doesn’t explain anything, because as far as we know the destruction of a ship doesn’t prevent its occupants from going into the Nexus, as happened to Kirk and, according to Guinan, everyone on Lakul. Anyway, Soran certainly believed that to be the case, because he wanted to go back after being beamed away from Lakul. So why opting for a ridiculously complicated plan the next time? One potential explanation is that the ribbon only provides an opening to the Nexus under some very specific circumstances, but the plot never addresses this crucial issue.
- Plot holes: The apparent or implied speed of the ribbon changes tremendously throughout the movie. Judging by
