Kahns pecks

Recommended Posts

I have heard alot of fans say that in The Wrath of Kahn Ricardo's pecks were fake. I remember reading somewhere might have been WOK biographys that they were real. Anyone have knowledge? :notworthy: < Kirk screaming KAAHHHNNN!

I'd say since i've seen that film a few times i'd say that Khan's Pecs look pretty real to me (Richardo Montalban)far as knowledge of the film goes.

From Meyer's commentary: "This is the question I am most asked about the movie, and that is Ricardo Montalban's chest, it is not a prosthetic device of any kind. He is one tough cookie, and he works out."

Yeap I've got that too. To be honest I never thought about if they were fake in the first place.

I can't really imagine that they were fake, why would they be? He was still young enough and fit enough to have muscles.

I'm not surprised that this question comes up because the first time I saw the movie I questioned that they were not using some kind of prosthetic device and I'm still not convinced that they are telling the truth about it. There are scenes in the movie where they just plain look fake. :dude:

They're real and they're spectacular!

 

Who on earth started the "fake" rumour anyway? He was young enough to still have chest muscles at the time ... he was still quite trim and fit, you could see that even in his Mr. Roarke tuxedo on Fantasy Island.

I remember on I Love the 80's Strikes Back, they were talking about it. I always thought they were real, why wouldn't they be?

I don't know why they would lie about something like that, but it is 100% true that it is in fact his real chest. It's talked about on the Wrath of Kahn commentary
