** {{Discussed|Trope}}. One reason why Scotty refuses to sign off on the new torpedoes is because he doesn't know anything about their propulsion or how it might affect the warp core on the ''Enterprise''.

Added DiffLines:

* SubmersibleSpaceship: At the beginning of the film, whilst hiding their existence from a pre-warp civilization, the crew successfully manage to hide the ''Enterprise'' in a nearby ocean. Why they had to do this is never explained, but the ship holds together with no problems and is able to fly out of the water when they need to leave.

* MagicPlasticSurgery: The ''Star Trek: Khan'' comic prequel to this movie explains that this is how Khan went from looking like Ricardo Montalban to looking like Benedict Cumberbatch. Somewhat justified in that Section 31 wanted to keep Khan a secret (they even attempted to wipe his memory and convince him that he was someone named John Harrison).

* TheManBehindTheMan: Played With. [[spoiler:While Marcus was responsible for bringing Khan back into power, the latter is still the main villain long after the former has left the picture.]]
* ManlyTears: In order, Kirk, Harrison, and Spock, each get a ''single'' tear. From the same eye, even. The good guys are looking at the reason for their tears, while the bad guy is looking away from the good guys.

** The USS ''Vengeance'' is described as a ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreadnought Dreadnought]]''-class ship. The class is named after HMS ''Dreadnought,'' a British battleship that made all other battleships obsolete when she was built. The ''Vengeance'' is supposed to do something similar to the warships of the non-Federation states in the ''Star Trek'' Universe, as it packs much more firepower and much more speed and maneuverability than any other ship in the Federation. Considering how [[spoiler: Harrison helped design and build her]], the name ''Vengeance'' might allude to what he planned to do with her if he ever got the chance. Its name is also similar to the name of a ship from the [[spoiler: Mirror Universe episodes of ''Enterprise'', hinting that it stands for something opposite of what a Starfleet ship should]].
