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.

  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:

Not a bad summer, and doesn’t even account for Road Warrior or Conan.
