* VariableTerminalVelocity: Done realistically when Sulu falls off the Romulan drill with no chute, and Kirk jumps off and catches him. However, Sulu only has five seconds on Kirk, Kirk catches up by exploiting air resistance as he profiles his body and Sulu spreads himself out, and they're VERY high up (they fall for more than a minute all told). Of course, it's all for naught as Kirk's chute breaks immediately and they have to rely on a [[TeleportationRescue miracle beam-up]] by Chekov on the ''Enterprise''.

He was also shown to work closely with Spock on the Federation project meant to save Romulus, was repeatedly told that it would work...and then had to watch it fail.]]

** One of the finest and most moving in the entire ''Star Trek'' canon. The movie begins with George Kirk staying behind on the U.S.S. ''Kelvin'' to save the escaping crew, including his pregnant wife and her child. Kirk becomes a legendary hero for this action, given that in his extremely short time as Captain, he saved 800 lives. This is made all the more poignant considering that, when you look closely, you can actually ''see'' missiles from the ''Narada'' being intercepted just before they are about to impact on his wife's shuttle. There was, quite simply, no chance of survival without him.
