Khaaaan!!!!

Apparently it is all the rage at conventions where geeks, my people, gather, to engage in the Khan scream of Captain Kirk from The Wrath of Khan (1982), the best of the Trek movies due to the superb performance of the late Ricardo Montalban as Khan Noonien Singh.  Here is Shatner giving the Khan scream at the Los Vegas Star Trek Con 2010:

 

 

 

 

 

Here are William Shatner’s remembrances of Montalban:

Ricardo Montalban was Catholic and was married to his wife for more than 50 years too!

I used to have a Captain Kirk poster in my room when I was in high school. I wish I still had it!

I claim ignorance regarding anything relevant to Star Trek. First time I saw the “KAHN!!!!!” yell or what-have-you, was in reference to the former goalkeeper Oliver Kahn (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_Kahn), most recently of Bayern Munich. Since then, that “yell” has always been associated with world class German soccer. Now, that is spoiled. Thanks. 😉
