The first version of the script, in which Spock died early on, was leaked early in 1982. Fans were really pissed, so the death was moved to the end and the director (Meyer) added the Kobayashi Maru simulation at the beginning to throw everybody off. Good write-up at Wikipedia:

Wow, what a line up. But how about that spoiler on Spock dying at the end of Star Trek II? I don’t recall that being known going into the movie.

Wow. That lineup is amazing, and I remember seeing them all.
Blade Runner, Khan and The Thing, What a Year.
Not a bad summer, and doesn’t even account for Road Warrior or Conan.
What a find! That’s an excellent group of films for a single year.
OMG! My youtube got linked to.
Check this out from the same year, Computers are people Too.
