Star Trek Goofs and Bloopers

Relive Star Trek goofs and bloopers from the original Star Trek series of the 1960's. See goofs featuring fake rocks, deja vu where people go by more than once, shirts that spontaneously break apart, dropped phasers, and uniforms and locations that change from one shot to the next in the same scene.

At the end of the video, laugh at some classic Star Trek bloopers that have been circulating between Trekkies for decades featuring William Shatner as Captain Kirk, DeForest Kelley as Dr. McCoy, Nichelle Nichols as Uhura, Leonard Nimoy as Spock, and James Doohan as Scott.

No one can still match the swagger of Kirk and the way he spoke. Authoritative voice yet smooth and soothing and reassuring. He was a terrific Capt Kirk.

I would just like to add that Star Trek had some of the best dramatic lighting of any television show on air at the time. Kudos to whoever staged the lighting.

Coming home from elementary school, Star Trek reruns started at 4pm.

I finally finished the Star Trek goofs video. I hope you all have fun watching! What's your favorite Star Trek goof?

Growing up poor on a farm in rural Tennessee, Star Trek was my escape from ''reality''.

Great video! Thanks! I met Nimoy at the University of Houston - Clear Lake in 1984. He spoke in one of the atriums. He’d raise his hand from behind the lecture with his Vulcan hand greeting. But then lower it quickly as camera flashes filled the air. He did that several times during his talk. But at the end posed for everyone so they could get a good picture of him. I can’t believe that was almost 40 years ago. I sure loved going to that college. I couldn’t get to classes fast enough I loved film school so much. I got a masters in filmmaking and when I was making films I’d sleep in the production studio or in my van in the parking lot. Great times.

Love it. Whatever they did, in the late sixties, early seventies, it was just the best. Nothing else was more important than watching the Enterprise.

The absolute best lines was, “Bones, can you save him?” “ Damn it Jim, Im a physician, not a magician”.

And please note in space seed ( which was a first season episode ) Chekov was not a crew member,
Yet in Star Trek II the Wrath of Khan, Kirk's enemy states , when Chekov and Captain Terrell are captured, while first looking at Terrell.

Khan: "I don't know you, (and then Approaching Chekov) But you, , , , I never forget a Mr. Chekov, isn't it ?"


Khan is so intelligent, that he even recognizes faces he's never seen before !!! 😂

I watched the show when it first came out in 1966, when I was 9 yrs old. To me it's still holds so much enjoyment. And thanks for pointing out some recent bloopers which I wasn't aware of, Tvcrazyman!!

[eracer]

I love seing goofs like these that I've missed - despite watching EVERY episode at least 40 times. Yeah, I'm a 65 year-old nerd who, when I was 7-10 years old watched every TOS episode as it aired.

[philipedwards]

Very funny video! Well spotted mistakes and bloopers. I still like the original Star Trek from the 60's - and the acting! It was a great sci-fi series for its time.

[tomchidwick]

As far as I'm concerned, the "original" series is the only series.
These bloopers are awesome!!

I was born in 67 and Star Trek was in syndication all through the 70s. From grade school on, I'd get home from school around 3:30pm. I'd watch The Partridge Family and/or Brady Bunch, Andy Griffith, Hogans Heroes, then an hour of Star Trek. This was a great escape from the daily drudgery aka. child abuse, and put me in a dream state for the hour and that escape from reality lingered for a while after. At 6:00pm SHARP, supper began and the abuse resumed! I know a lot of "kids" experienced a very similar thing during the 70s. The only differences were the specific shows that we watched and the level of abuse we tolerated. My best friend always watched speed racer and johnny quest after school, but I didn't have cable so ABC, NBC and CBS were just fine for small periods of escapism.

I love Original Star Trek. I use to watch it when I was a young kid in the late 60's. Always wanted to go to space on a ship like the Enterprise and have a captain like Kirk, and crew members like Spock, Bones, Scotty, Uhura, Sulu and Chekov. Didn't want to wear a Red Shirt and beam up me

[kingforaday]

I remember when one of the major events at a convention was the anticipated playing of a blooper reel like this. Heck, it was the only place we could see it!

[RobertvanderBroek]

The scenes in which Shatner was hamming it up were just too good!

[robertonievecimamontana]

In the 70's, of course we did not have any blooper showings... EXCEPT at the Star Trek conventions. As a boy, I was so amazed that they showed clips like these! Great times

[PeterWorrell]

Excellent! I grew up with the original, and this brought back good memories.

[richardkopaniasz]

That was so great! I never caught that stuff while watching the show. Saw the Bloopers for 40 years and they are still funny.
