THe Excelsior has to be the GREATEST achievement since the warp drive and Fruit Loops! The UFP/SF engineers really outdid themselves on that one! Beached whale or not, it's a *GREAT* ship!

Murphy, who is under contract to Paramount Pictures, has frequently
been mentioned as possibly having a cameo role in "Star Trek IV".
Currently, Murphy is in the third week of shooting for "Golden Child",
like "Star Trek IV" a Christmas release from Paramount. It still seems
possible he could make an appearance.
Catherine Hicks ("The Razor's Edge" and "Fever Pitch") is also in the
cast list for "Star Trek IV". What is her role??spock@hope.UUCP (Chris Ambler) (03/21/86)

Does anyone > know any thing about this? > > steve anich Eddie Murphy expressed an interest, the fans revolted (remember Gary Coleman in Buck Rogers, or Pryor in Superman??!). Murphy is going to just have a role as an extra. -Spock (Christopher J. Ambler @ University of California, Riverside)

The scenes in question were actually filmed aboard a real US aircraft carrier, which was stationed in San Diego at the time. The scenes in SF are being filmed on location.

Shouldn't they at least claim (in the movie, they'll use anything they can get for the actual filming) that it's the carrier USS Enterprise, just to give Kirk a lump in the throat and/or give him command of the ship via a contrived plot device? -- - Ralph W.

That's the same carrier that sailed thru a time-warp tunnel from 1980+ back to 1941 in "The Final COuntdown". Kirk will get the skipper to show him the charts, blast the BIrd of Prey thru the same time-storm, and get back to 2300 or whenever, maybe in time (!) to stop the Klingons from stealing Genesis, thus aborting all the wretched events of ST:TSFS. He'll return to Starbase with a healthy Spock, an intact Enterprise, and a bonus Klingon scout ship (hey Abdul, want a three-day pass?) > > 7)The title (at present):Star Trek IV-The Voyage Home
