Witness the 'Star Trek Into Darkness' Blooper Reel

by Alanna Bennett

When you're trapped in a cone of secrecy as a cast member of Mad Men or a J.J. Abrams production, it makes sense that you've gotta know how to have a good time. You can only snark, punch, and manufacture sexual tension for so long before you've just gotta giggle and pantomime swallowing the camera. Star Trek Into Darkness ' gag reel is finally here, you guys. It's been so long since that movie came out I kind of forgot we never actually got the full thing in a reasonable timeframe.

Apparently, the thing they were waiting for was Star Trek: The Compendium, a four-disk set that includes the IMAX version of the film (for that convenient IMAX screen you've got in your living room) as well as a shit ton of extras. I'd pretend to care about the rest of the featurettes and behind-the-scenes extravaganzas, but let's be real, I'm really only here for the bloopers.

Highlights from said bloopers:

  • Zoe Saldance leading a cast of aliens in the "Thriller" dance
  • Benedict Cumberbatch, just in general
  • Simon Pegg just can't get his shit togethr
  • Dancing!
  • Chris Pine pantomiming over Cumberbatch's crotch
  • "Pine, no!"
  • Seriously, he's the Jimmy Fallon of breaking in Star Trek

Oh, and there's a whole lot of bleeped cussing.

Beautiful.
