1 plot hole
Directed by: Jonathan Frakes
Starring: Patrick Stewart, F. Murray Abraham, Michael Dorn, Brent Spiner, Jonathan Frakes, Marina Sirtis, LeVar Burton, Gates McFadden, Anthony Zerbe, Donna Murphy
Revealing mistake: When the villagers are running from the attack on their village, they run across a bridge that gets blown up. If you look, you can see that just as it explodes, several people change the direction they are running so as they can plunge dramatically into the water. (00:55:40)
Trivia: There is a scene in the film where Baku people are running to the caves, or something like that. In the original cut of the film, some actors where chewing gum. The director and producer decided it didn't make them look scared, so they filmed than shot again, and it cost about one hundred thousand dollars.
Question: What is a Briar Patch?
Answer: The reference is from Disney's Song of the South. A group of children listen to a old man's tall tales of a dumb Rabbit and Bear.
