The woman who answers Uhura and Chekov when they are looking for the nuclear vessel was Layla Sarakalo, an extra who had never acted before and was not supposed to speak much. Sarakalo happened to be on the set when her car was towed away to make room for the film's production. She then offered to be an extra, because she needed the money to get her car back. She was told to "act naturally", and when she was asked, she improvised an answer. Much to her surprise, her unscripted line was kept in the film. This was because director Leonard Nimoy enjoyed the spontaneity of the scene so much that he left it the way it was.
Scotty helps Dr. Nichols "invent" transparent aluminum, which, in real life, became possible 23 years later in 2009, developed partially by Professor Justin Wark of Oxford University's Department of Physics. Oddly enough, it was the year when the franchise was rebooted in Star Trek (2009).
As the alien probe approaches Earth at the film's beginning, it emits a sound wave that Spock determines to be an attempt to communicate with humpback whales. After the first test screening and at the suggestion of Harve Bennett, Paramount Pictures studio heads sent Leonard Nimoy a memo asking him to create an on-screen subtitle to translate the sound, and suggested "Where are you?". Nimoy and Nicholas Meyer insisted that any explanation of what the probe and the whales were saying would ruin the sense of mystery. Eventually, Nimoy convinced Paramount Studios to not use subtitles.
The idea of having Spock give the Vulcan nerve pinch to the punk rocker was inspired by Leonard Nimoy who was walking down the street in New York City, when a punk came out of a store with his boombox blaring, disturbing everyone around him. Annoyed, Nimoy thought "If I was REALLY Spock, I'd pinch his head off!" (According to Nimoy in the Blu-ray audio commentary).
William Shatner was originally reluctant to return to the Star Trek franchise. Leonard Nimoy and Harve Bennett considered making a prequel with the characters at Starfleet Academy. Eventually, Shatner was offered a pay raise in order to convince him to return. As a result of Shatner and Nimoy's raised salaries, Paramount Studios had to lower the budget of its new series, Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987).
"[Spock is still learning how to use profanity correctly] Spock: They like you very much, but they are not the hell "your" whales. Dr. Gillian Taylor: I suppose they told you that. Spock: The hell they did."
"Kirk: Spock, where the hell's the power you promised? Spock: One damn minute, Admiral."
