** Carol Marcus using her mother's last name to get on board the ''Enterprise'' recalls [[Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan her son in the prime timeline using her last name instead of his father's]]. The last name Wallace is taken from Janet Wallace, a minor character in the TOS episode "The Deadly Years." Carol Marcus was originally intended to be Wallace in ''Wrath of Khan''.
** Also, Carol telling her father [[spoiler: that she's ashamed to be his daughter is the opposite of her son David telling Kirk that he's proud to be his son in ''The Wrath of Kahn.'']]
** The ''Enterprise'' takes a massive beating by another Starfleet vessel, the USS ''Vengeance'', leading to serious damage to the engineering section, just like how the ''Enterprise'' took a beating by the USS ''Reliant''.
** Looking at the ''Vengeance'' from the side (especially when it first meets the ''Enterprise''), shows it bears a striking resemblance to the USS Enterprise-D from Star Trek The Next Generation, with a nacelle design similar to the USS Enterprise-E from the Next Generation movies.
** [[spoiler:Kirk]] incapacitates Scotty before going to repair the warp core, just like how Spock incapacitated [=McCoy=] under similar circumstances.
** Once again, Spock is the one to defeat [[spoiler:Khan]], except in the prime universe he used cold logic to exploit TwoDSpace, whereas this time his BerserkButton has been hit and handles the matter much more... physically.
* [[spoiler:The death of Admiral Marcus via [[YourHeadASplode head-crushing]] recalls the death-via-facial-strangulation of Admiral Dougherty from ''Film/StarTrekInsurrection'']].
* Kirk getting demoted for breaking regulations to save Spock recalls ''Film/StarTrekIIITheSearchForSpock'' and ''Film/StarTrekIVTheVoyageHome''.
* Kirk still likes the Music/BeastieBoys, listening to "Body Movin'" during sex, referencing him listening to "Sabotage" as a kid in ''Film/StarTrek''.
* Sulu takes the conn and has to act as temporary Captain, alluding to him becoming captain of the ''Excelsior'' [[Film/StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry in the original continuity]]. He also has to bluff to Harrison; Chekov did something similar in ''[[Film/StarTrekVTheFinalFrontier Star Trek V]]''.

* This is not the first time that [[Film/StarTrekIVTheVoyageHome a starship has crashed into San Francisco Bay]].
* On the approach to Qo'noS, a large broken moon fragment can be seen with a debris field stretching outward, suggesting that [[Film/StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry Praxis may have exploded early or was already in bad enough shape]].
* Also, Uhura speaking Klingon may be a TakeThat to the translator scene from ''Film/StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry''. Nichelle Nichols was unhappy that her character, a veteran communications officer, would not speak fluent Klingon. Perhaps as a nod to the original scene, Uhura does mention her Klingon is a little rusty.

* Kirk [[Film/StarTrekNemesis space jumps from the]] ''Enterprise'' [[Film/StarTrekNemesis to an enemy warship that is crippled]]. This time, it's not ridiculous because he actually has a spacesuit with thrusters attached so he can guide himself to an airlock.
* Carol mentions that Kirk once dated Christine Chapel, who is now serving as a nurse on a distant space station. Nurse Chapel was [=McCoy's=] assistant in the original series (and played by Creator/GeneRoddenberry's wife Majel Barrett), and who gets a mention in the ''Enterprise'' sickbay during the first film.
* One of the movie's {{tag line}}s was "Beyond the darkness, lies greatness." mirroring the tag line for ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan'' "Beyond the darkness, beyond the human evolution, is Khan."
* Something of a meta example in the choice of Chekov as the [[spoiler:RedHerringShirt]], as an early draft of ''Film/StarTrekTheMotionPicture'' had him die during an attack on the ''Enterprise''.

* Though it's seen from a different angle, the [[spoiler:''Vengeance'' overtaking the ''Enterprise'' at warp, then attacking while still at warp]], is eerily similar to the ''[[StarTrekNemesis Scimitar]]'' doing the exact same to the ''Enterprise''-E.

* The construction bay that Scotty finds after being giving Harrison's coordinates looks eerily similar to a Borg Cube.
* Spock's violent beatdown of [[spoiler:Khan]] at the end resembles him beating down Kirk in the first movie.
* Kirk at one point calls Scotty a "miracle worker". More or less Scotty's title in the original movies (from ''[[Film/StarTrekIIITheSearchForSpock The Search For Spock]]'' onwards).
* Chekov is replaced as navigator by a [[Film/StarTrekTheMotionPicture bald woman]].
* Along with heavy focus on his very measured deep voice, there were numerous closeups that focused of Benedict Cumberbatch's intense blue eyes and cold stare [[spoiler: the opposite of Montalban Khan's very diplomatic and congenial facial expressions]]. This may be a tease based on the widespread fan speculation that he was being cast as a reimagined version of Gary Mitchell from ''Where No Man Has Gone Before''.

* A rendition of the [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries original theme]] is played as the credits roll.
* [[http://vimeo.com/72019454 Special effects for the film]] include references to all five ''Franchise/StarTrek'' series and one to ''VideoGame/StarTrekOnline'' as well!
* The Klingon part of the plot ([[spoiler:a rogue Starfleet officer who doesn't believe in peaceful co-existence tries to incite a war between the Federation and an alien civilization]]) is quite similar to the [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Next Generation]] episode [[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS4E12TheWounded "The Wounded"]] as well as the John Ford novel ''Literature/TheFinalReflection''.

* [[spoiler: Khan and his crew being 300 years old, and responsible for a eugenics plot against the world. Its a call back to Khan's backstory in "Space Seed"]].
* [[spoiler:The black ops group behind Harrison and the ''Vengeance'' is Section 31, from ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' and ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'']].
* Admiral Marcus has the ''[[Film/StarTrekFirstContact Phoenix]]'', the ''[[Series/StarTrekEnterprise NX-01]]'' as well as a ''[[Film/StarTrekTheMotionPicture XCV-330]]'' among his office collection of models depicting forms of Earth flight and space travel from the Wright brothers' first plane through a V-2 rocket, Vostok, and Gemini.
* Also from ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'': the offshore stadium in San Francisco is still there, visible in at least one aerial shot of the city.
* There are numerous allusions to ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan'',
** Several lines and other elements from the climactic SeparatedByTheWall scene between Kirk and Spock in ''Wrath of Khan'' are re-enacted [[spoiler:only with Spock and Kirk's places switched]]. Similarly, [[spoiler:Most of [=McCoy=]'s lines from ''Wrath'' were transferred to Scotty whole cloth, specifically the lines "You'll flood the whole compartment" and "Better get down here, better hurry".]]
** Spock repeats his famous line from ''Wrath of Khan'' during the opening away mission: "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few."
** [[spoiler:Spock's echo of Creator/WilliamShatner's "[[BigWordShout KHAAA]][[SayMyName AAAAN!!!]]" line]].
** Carol Marcus using her mother's last name to get on board the ''Enterprise'' recalls [[Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan her son in the prime timeline using her last name instead of his father's]]. The last name Wallace is taken from Janet Wallace, a minor character in the TOS episode "The Deadly Years." Carol Marcus was originally intended to be Wallace in ''Wrath of Khan''.
** Also, Carol telling her father [[spoiler: that she's ashamed to be his daughter is the opposite of her son David telling Kirk that he's proud to be his son in ''The Wrath of Kahn.'']]
** The ''Enterprise'' takes a massive beating by another Starfleet vessel, the USS ''Vengeance'', leading to serious damage to the engineering section, just like how the ''Enterprise'' took a beating by the USS ''Reliant''.
** Looking at the ''Vengeance'' from the side (especially when it first meets the ''Enterprise''), shows it bears a striking resemblance to the USS Enterprise-D from Star Trek The Next Generation, with a nacelle design similar to the USS Enterprise-E from the Next Generation movies.
** [[spoiler:Kirk]] incapacitates Scotty before going to repair the warp core, just like how Spock incapacitated [=McCoy=] under similar circumstances.
** Once again, Spock is the one to defeat [[spoiler:Khan]], except in the prime universe he used cold logic to exploit TwoDSpace, whereas this time his BerserkButton has been hit and handles the matter much more... physically.
* [[spoiler:The death of Admiral Marcus via [[YourHeadASplode head-crushing]] recalls the death-via-facial-strangulation of Admiral Dougherty from ''Film/StarTrekInsurrection'']].
* Kirk getting demoted for breaking regulations to save Spock recalls ''Film/StarTrekIIITheSearchForSpock'' and ''Film/StarTrekIVTheVoyageHome''.
* Kirk still likes the Music/BeastieBoys, listening to "Body Movin'" during sex, referencing him listening to "Sabotage" as a kid in ''Film/StarTrek''.
* Sulu takes the conn and has to act as temporary Captain, alluding to him becoming captain of the ''Excelsior'' [[Film/StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry in the original continuity]]. He also has to bluff to Harrison; Chekov did something similar in ''[[Film/StarTrekVTheFinalFrontier Star Trek V]]''.
* Scotty manages to swiftly [[spoiler:sabotage a really high-tech Starfleet prototype. [[Film/StarTrekIIITheSearchForSpock Sound familiar]]?]]
* Harrison notes "No ship should go down without her captain", a line from ''Literature/MobyDick'', [[spoiler:a novel which Khan Noonien Singh loved]].
** And which was also quoted in ''[[Film/StarTrekFirstContact First Contact]]''.
* At one point, Harrison threatens to incapacitate the ''Enterprise'' crew by depriving them of oxygen. [[spoiler:Khan took over the ''Enterprise'' using this method in the TOS episode "Space Seed"]].
* Despite surviving a nerve pinch, phaser shots, and a lot of beating, [[spoiler:Khan eventually goes down after Spock hits him with a piece of metal. Kirk likewise incapacitated him with an engineering tool in "Space Seed"]].
* This is not the first time that [[Film/StarTrekIVTheVoyageHome a starship has crashed into San Francisco Bay]].
* On the approach to Qo'noS, a large broken moon fragment can be seen with a debris field stretching outward, suggesting that [[Film/StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry Praxis may have exploded early or was already in bad enough shape]].
* Also, Uhura speaking Klingon may be a TakeThat to the translator scene from ''Film/StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry''. Nichelle Nichols was unhappy that her character, a veteran communications officer, would not speak fluent Klingon. Perhaps as a nod to the original scene, Uhura does mention her Klingon is a little rusty.
* This is the second time in as many films that Chekov has [[spoiler:saved Kirk and another crew member from falling to their deaths at the last second]], but this time he managed it without the transporter.
* Kirk, Scotty and Chekov discuss how to save the day, which includes [[Film/StarTrekGenerations hitting a manual release located by the deflector dish]]. Chekov does it this time. [[spoiler:Kirk still dies ([[DisneyDeath sort of]])]].
** Apparently, Starfleet likes to [[Film/StarTrekFirstContact put key controls near the deflector dish]].
* The "uninhabited" Ketha province? That's the same region [[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine General Martok]] spent his childhood in abject poverty.
* Kirk [[Film/StarTrekNemesis space jumps from the]] ''Enterprise'' [[Film/StarTrekNemesis to an enemy warship that is crippled]]. This time, it's not ridiculous because he actually has a spacesuit with thrusters attached so he can guide himself to an airlock.
* Carol mentions that Kirk once dated Christine Chapel, who is now serving as a nurse on a distant space station. Nurse Chapel was [=McCoy's=] assistant in the original series (and played by Creator/GeneRoddenberry's wife Majel Barrett), and who gets a mention in the ''Enterprise'' sickbay during the first film.
* One of the movie's {{tag line}}s was "Beyond the darkness, lies greatness." mirroring the tag line for ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan'' "Beyond the darkness, beyond the human evolution, is Khan."
* Something of a meta example in the choice of Chekov as the [[spoiler:RedHerringShirt]], as an early draft of ''Film/StarTrekTheMotionPicture'' had him die during an attack on the ''Enterprise''.
* The emergency meeting room Harrison attacks early in the movie is located in the [[Recap/StarTrekS2E24TheUltimateComputer Daystrom]] building.
* Though it's seen from a different angle, the [[spoiler:''Vengeance'' overtaking the ''Enterprise'' at warp, then attacking while still at warp]], is eerily similar to the ''[[StarTrekNemesis Scimitar]]'' doing the exact same to the ''Enterprise''-E.
* ''Enterprise'' blatantly ignores orders and [[Film/StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry violates]] Klingon space.
* The construction bay that Scotty finds after being giving Harrison's coordinates looks eerily similar to a Borg Cube.
* Spock's violent beatdown of [[spoiler:Khan]] at the end resembles him beating down Kirk in the first movie.
* Kirk at one point calls Scotty a "miracle worker". More or less Scotty's title in the original movies (from ''[[Film/StarTrekIIITheSearchForSpock The Search For Spock]]'' onwards).
* Chekov is replaced as navigator by a [[Film/StarTrekTheMotionPicture bald woman]].
* Along with heavy focus on his very measured deep voice, there were numerous closeups that focused of Benedict Cumberbatch's intense blue eyes and cold stare [[spoiler: the opposite of Montalban Khan's very diplomatic and congenial facial expressions]]. This may be a tease based on the widespread fan speculation that he was being cast as a reimagined version of Gary Mitchell from ''Where No Man Has Gone Before''.
* Harrison's freakout [[spoiler: when he thinks his crew is dead]] brings to mind [[Film/StarTrekIIITheSearchForSpock Commander Kruge's]] when he tires to get [[spoiler: his crew off ''The Enterprise'' before it blows up]].
** The BigNo included also recalls [[BigBad Ru'afo]] after the ''Enterprise'' crew thwarted his plans in ''Film/StarTrekInsurrection''.
* A rendition of the [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries original theme]] is played as the credits roll.
* [[http://vimeo.com/72019454 Special effects for the film]] include references to all five ''Franchise/StarTrek'' series and one to ''VideoGame/StarTrekOnline'' as well!
* The Klingon part of the plot ([[spoiler:a rogue Starfleet officer who doesn't believe in peaceful co-existence tries to incite a war between the Federation and an alien civilization]]) is quite similar to the [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Next Generation]] episode [[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS4E12TheWounded "The Wounded"]] as well as the John Ford novel ''Literature/TheFinalReflection''.
* The ShoutOut scene to ''TheGodfather'' III also doubles as a Continuity Nod to the ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' episode "Alliances", wherein the Trabe are pulling the same "shooting everyone through a window from an air vehicle" trick on the Kazon.
