In the Blu-ray special feature "The Captain's Log", Ricardo Montalban says that once he committed to this film, he realized that he had trouble getting back into the character Khan. After years of playing Mr. Roarke on Fantasy Island (1977), he found that he was "stuck" in that character. He requested a tape of Star Trek: Space Seed (1967) from Paramount Studios, and proceeded to watch it repeatedly. By the third or fourth watching, he had recaptured the essence of Khan's character.
The famous "Space, the final frontier" monologue is heard for the first time since Star Trek (1966), now narrated by Leonard Nimoy, however this has been changed slightly. Instead of saying, "...its five-year mission..." and "to seek out new life," this now says, "her ongoing mission..." and "to seek out new lifeforms".
Producers went ahead with a movie script featuring Khan, taking it for granted that Ricardo Montalban would be interested in or available for this film. Specifically, this was overlooked that Montalban at the time, was busy starring on Fantasy Island (1977). Montalban was receptive when approached about reprising the role, and arrangements were made to film the movie so as not to conflict with Montalban's "Fantasy Island" scheduling.
Producer Harve Bennett viewed all the episodes of Star Trek (1966) and chose Star Trek: Space Seed (1967) as the best candidate for a sequel. Spock even remarks in the script that this would be interesting to return in a hundred years or so to see what type of civilization had grown there. This is the first time a feature film was made as a sequel to a specific television series episode.
It is a Star Trek running gag that there is a Federation embargo against Romulan ale, but this still doesn't prevent resourceful people like Dr. McCoy (using "medicinal" privileges as a loophole) from procuring some for Admiral Kirk as a birthday present, and many Star Trek captains and flag officers have, over the years in Star Trek canon, viewed it as something of a status symbol, much like Cuban cigars in the United States.
"Kirk: We are assembled here today to pay final respects to our honored dead. And yet it should be noted that in the midst of our sorrow, this death takes place in the shadow of new life, the sunrise of a new world; a world that our beloved comrade gave his life to protect and nourish. He did not feel this sacrifice a vain or empty one, and we will not debate his profound wisdom at these proceedings. Of my friend, I can only say this: of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most... human."
"[Terrell disobeys Khan's order to kill Kirk, who taunts Khan over the communicator] Kirk: Khan, you bloodsucker! You're going to have to do your own dirty work now! Do you hear me? Do you? Khan: Kirk? Kirk, you're still alive, my old friend? Kirk: Still, "old friend"! You've managed to kill just about everyone else, but like a poor marksman, you keep missing the target! Khan: Perhaps I no longer need to try, Admiral. David Marcus: Oh, no! Let go! He can't take it...! [Khan beams the Genesis device away] Kirk: Khan... Khan, you've got Genesis, but you don't have me. You were going to kill me, Khan. You're going to have to come down here. You're going to have to come down here! Khan: I've done far worse than kill you. I've hurt you. And I wish to go on hurting you. I shall leave you as you left me, as you left her; marooned for all eternity in the center of a dead planet... buried alive! Buried alive...! Kirk: KHAAANNNN! [echo] Kirk: KHAAANNNN!"
