....for hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee." Brilliantly delivered by Ricardo in ROK. Anybody that can have enough of a presence in a film to make me forget about the 'hamishness' of Shatner gets my respect.

Paris, because i'm sure she's spat a few times as well when she's been out of breath.

The plane boss...the plane.

Thanks Kaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

You will be missed.

such a massive massive shame! one of the best villians ever so well played!

best parting speech of a villian even if it was ripped from moby dick as the enterprise is doing a runner he rants at the viewscreen

"for hates sake i spit my last breath at thee"

RIP Ricardo there is a massive leather armchair waiting for you beyond the great barrier

Out of interest, what does the author consider the other one of the two best Star Trek movies?

But sadly.. this is not a technology news. By far.

Al WarMing.

Ricardo Montalban, RIP...

Patrick McGoohan, RIP...

When will this all end?

PH, as an icon that will, inevitably, go too...

"From Hell's heart, I stab at thee ..." - don't think I've ever seen a line delivered with such venom.

First Patrick McGoohan (was watching 'The Prisoner' last night, as it happened) and now Ricardo Montalban. I think I'm beginning to understand why Arthur Dent hated Thursdays so much.

Along with "Generations" and "Nemesis" (I know, I know), "Wrath of Khan" is the only Star Trek movie I watch on a regular basis - the Book Of The Film[tm] is very good as well.

He tasks me! he tasks me and i shall have him I'll chase him 'round the moons of Nivea, and 'round the Antares maelstrom, and 'round perdition's flames before I g ive him up

@ small brain field

i was going to mention his voicework for various animated shows too he did some great characters too

In the original series Khan appeared as a one time villian, but the transformation onto the big screen by Ricardo was enough to produce one of the most memorable film villains ever seen.

One day a friend of mine who came around while I was midway though watching the film (he admits he doesn't typically like Star trek) he got drawn in after seeing the "ear scene" in Khan's bunker and watched it to the end after that.

He delivered lines so well, from the famous "Revenge is a dish best served cold" that has spread far beyond Trek circles, to his final "From Hells heart I stab at thee... for hates sake I spit my last breath at thee!" as he lies in a bloodied mess with the bomb ticking away.

Ricardo you shall be missed.

If you paid attention you would have realized it was Khan's favourite book.

You will be complaining about Shakespeare in "The Undiscovered Country" next.

Alien?? Natch!!

Ripped the quote was a strong word my humblest apologies i do of course know moby dick was his favourite book

star trek villians have a knack for great speeches

Christopher plummer ala undiscovered country

and even [gasp] yes malcom mcdowel in generations (they say time is the fire in which we burn)

First contact is ovbiously the second favourite movie. No under lying save the whales brainwashing included, need i say more.

.... I'm looking forward to bad-guy speeches in upcoming movie...

PS - Khan is one of best ST villians.... awesome actor too

For all of us. I keep meaning to get a DVD version of the Prisoner so I can re-watch all of it without interruption. RIP

Ricardo can boast about having fans across several generations past and yet to be born. Let his passing revive interest in all his work. Requiescat In Pace amigo.

Paris because even she must have watched him sometime - and I reckon that right up to his last breath, Ricardo would have pulled her...

One of the most memorable villians in Star Trek history.

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!

One by one, the original ST crew has gone away; this time it is one of the best villians on the ST franchise.

Mine's the one with the NCC-1701 keyring in the pockets...

His warp core breached

Don't you mean he detonated the Genesis Device?

Mines he one with the DVDs of EVERY Star Trek episode and film in the pockets. (Yes even the animated series too).
