Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Silver Bullet (1985)?

c.
It was Director/Star
Leonard Nimoy
who conceived the distinctive design of the Klingons Bird Of Prey. At a preproduction meeting with Industrial Light And Magic, Nimoy posed his arms and hands to demonstrate the vessels wings as they ultimately would appear in the final film. The DVD documentary, "Space Docks and Birds Of Prey", revealed that the physique of a bodybuilder in the "crab" pose, emphasizing the trapezius muscles, was also the basis for the ships aggressive stance. Finally, the script, at the time when it was received by ILM, established that the Bird Of Prey was definitely a Romulan vessel, commandeered by Kruge. With that back story in mind, the feather-like pattern on the ships underside was a direct tribute the original Bird Of Prey as it first appeared in the 1966 original series episode "Balance of Terror". Though the final version of Star Trek 3 (and subsequent star trek films and TV episodes) refer to the ship as purely of the Klingon fleet, the Romulan plumage-detail was never lost.
