* TheUntwist: General Chang was behind the attack on Gorkon's ship. Given his attitude when he's first seen coupled with the fact that he had the recording of Kirk's statement he would never forgive Klingons, it's not much of a surprise.
** Chang is clearly the obvious villain of the piece, though--covering for the [[spoiler: real twist in the film that ''Starfleet officers'' are part of a conspiracy, and that ''they'' supplied Chang with the damning recording of Kirk]].

** The practical effect for the klingon blood isn't much better. Gorkon's death scene loses a lot of its intended seriousness when it looks like he and the scenery are splotted with bright pink paint.

* RippedFromTheHeadlines: Spock mentions that the Federation needs to act quickly before a group of Klingon Hardliners seizes control of the Klingon Empire, which is a direct reference to the August Coup that happened earlier that year, where a group of Soviet Hardliners tried to seize control and undo Gorbachev's reforms.
