In the opening credits, there is an extra long pause between William Shatner and DeForest Kelley's names, where Leonard Nimoy's name would normally be.
Production was endangered by the great fire at Paramount Studios. William Shatner helped fight the fire and rescue a crew member before firefighter reinforcements arrived. Shatner said that his motivation for doing so was purely to save a day on the shooting schedule, as he had to make a deadline to be available for shooting on a new season of T.J. Hooker (1982).
When negotiating Kirstie Alley's contract for Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982), Paramount Studios did not offer or include any options or clauses regarding any possible sequels. According to director Leonard Nimoy, this left Alley open to negotiate a new contract for this film, resulting in Alley's excessive salary demands, which led to her being dropped and replaced by Robin Curtis.
The film's villains were originally intended to be Romulans, but upper studio management wanted Klingons to be used, since they were better-known enemies. By the time the decision was made, the Romulan warship was already built, and they did not want the expense of replacing it. However, since Star Trek (1966) had already established that the Klingons and Romulans had shared technologies and ships in the past (for exactly the same real-world cost-cutting reasons), the idea of Klingons using a Romulan-style vessel was not a problem.
The U.S.S. Grissom was named after astronaut Gus Grissom, who was killed when the Apollo 1 spacecraft caught fire on January 27, 1967, during a launch simulation test. The fire also killed astronauts Edward White II and Roger B. Chaffee.
"[Witnessing the destruction of the Enterprise] Kirk: My God, Bones... what have I done? McCoy: What you had to do, what you always do. Turn death into a fighting chance to live."
"Sarek: Kirk, I thank you. What you have done is... Kirk: What I have done, I had to do. Sarek: But at what cost? Your ship. Your son. Kirk: If I hadn't tried, the cost would have been my soul."
