Trivia
Sybok was originally named Zon, and in early drafts was unrelated to Spock. Harve Bennett came up with the Spock-Sybok family relationship to strengthen Spock's rationale regarding his actions relating to Sybok. William Shatner was opposed to the idea, feeling it was too gimmicky and too much like a plotline out of a soap opera.

According to William Shatner, the film's main plot themes and elements were inspired by the Televangelist movement of the late 1980s.

The on-screen confrontation between William Shatner (Captain Kirk) and George Murdock ("God") is not the first for these two actors. They went head-to-head in Crash (1978), with Shatner as an air-crash investigator and Murdock as his excessively bureaucratic superior. This was the film Shatner made just before returning to the role of Captain Kirk in Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979).

When the spotlight of the shuttlecraft highlights Kirk, Spock and McCoy to pick them up, the circle of light doesn't change its shape despite being on a descending craft, showing it to be an optical effect.

When Kirk and McCoy climb on to Spock while hovering in the turbo shaft, both of them step onto foot supports on Spock's boots. However, when the camera points down, both Kirk and McCoy's feet are dangling. With the way they are hanging onto Spock in regular shots, there is no way they could hold on. Both would fall to the bottom of the turbo shaft.

Quotes
Spock: Captain.

Sybok: Sha-Ka-Ree... the source... Heaven... Eden... call it what you will. The Klingons call it "Qui-Tu". For the Romulans it's "Vorta Vor". The Andorian word is... is unpronouncable. Still, every culture in this galaxy shares this common dream of a place from which creation sprang. For us, that place will soon be reality.

How many movies are in the Star Trek franchise?

So far, there are 12. Star Trek IV: The Final Frontier was preceded by Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979), Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan (1982), Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984), and Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986), and followed by Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991), all of which featured the Enterprise captained by James T Kirk.

Q
What is 'The Final Frontier' about?
A
While most of the Enterprise's crew are on shore leave, chief engineer Montgomery 'Scotty' Scott (James Doohan) and communications officer Lt Uhura (Nichelle Nichols) stay behind to effect repairs on the new Enterprise NCC-1701A. When they learn of a terrorist uprising on Nimbus III, the planet of Galactic Peace, they are ordered by Starfleet to reassemble their crew and investigate. A renegade Vulcan named Sybok (Laurence Luckinbill) has taken three ambassadors -- Klingon General Korrd (Charles Cooper), Romulan Caithlin Dar (Cynthia Gouw) -- all for the purpose of commandeering the Enterprise in order to search the center of the galaxy for the planet Sha Ka Ree, which he is certain is the home of the Creator. Unfortunately, hot on their tail is a Klingon Bird of Prey, piloted by Klingon commander Klaa (Todd Bryant) who is trying to make a name for himself by capturing Admiral James T Kirk (William Shatner).
