 Pakistan’s nuclear father, master spy - - MSNBC.com
Of the two, Khan is the better known, the more colorful, the more Strangelovian.  Seen in the west as a scientific rogue, a spy even, he is outspoken, critical of western values and a man on a mission, and that mission is simply infusing Pakistan with superpower pride.
Khan was not Dutch at all, but rather a Dutch-speaking South African who carried a British passport.  Khan quickly fit in, plying secretaries with candy and cookies, gamely went out for volleyball with his neighbors and took his wife and two daughters to the seaside or into the Ardennes on weekends.
In January 1976, Khan and family suddenly left Holland and turned up in Pakistan.  His wife wrote to her former neighbors that they were on vacation and that her husband had fallen ill.  Soon afterward, Khan himself sent a letter of resignation to FDO, effective that March.  It was all nice, neat, and pleasant.

Resurrected from the "Space Seed" episode of the TV series, Ricardo Montalban's Khan is the hammiest, most passionately alive Trek villain, infused with Captain Ahab's self-destructive single-mindedness and quoting Moby Dick and Shakespeare in his furious pursuit of Kirk.
In that episode, Khan-a brilliant leader and ruthless criminal played with campy melodrama by Ricardo Montalban (The plane!) was sent to an inhospitable planet with his followers.
Khan is no pantomime villain - he has his reasons, which thus adds depth to his villaninous deeds.

Inspired by the "Space Seed" episode of the original TV series, the film reunites newly promoted Admiral Kirk with his nemesis from the earlier episode--the genetically superior Khan (Ricardo Montalban)--who is now seeking revenge upon Kirk for having been imprisoned on a desolated planet.
Their battle ensues over control of the Genesis device, a top-secret Starfleet project enabling entire planets to be transformed into life-supporting worlds, pioneered by the mother (Bibi Besch) of Kirk's estranged and now-adult son.

The Wrath of Khan, however, pales next to my annoyance at the poor quality of this DVD, which seems to have taken forever to be released.
Ricardo Montalban's flamboyant performance as Khan not only works as he chews up the scenery with such delight, but because I think it is another significant reason that Shatner toned down his performance, thereby creating a nice contrast between the two characters.

 The DVD Journal | Reviews : Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan: The Director's Edition
Wrath of Khan is not a science fiction film as much as it's an old-fashioned adventure story dressed up in vintage SF tropes.
Wrath of Khan's plot is built from an ingenious blend of old-shoe familiar Star Trek elements, primarily a well-remembered villain from the TV series and the cut-glass relationship tripod of Kirk-Spock-McCoy.
The visual effects of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan are the eponymous particulars of The Visual Effects of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (18:12), the most professional-looking of the featurettes.

Wherever the khan sits, they crowd around, shading him, fanning him, whistling bird calls, and splashing water from a mug to sound like a babbling brook, creating an extemporaneous oasis.
They tend to him, unnoticed by the ruler, cracking open coconuts on their heads to feed him, fanning fires in huge bowls, and using a comb on the end of a long stick to silently tame the ruler's cowlick-prone hair.
She struts and swaggers with a universal cockiness at the play's beginning--the posture of a young brawler or street tough--but settles into the archetypal, monstrous aloofness of the ruthlessly powerful toward the end, calling to mind Stalin's and Mussolini's stolid posturing.

I'm not sure if all the cast of the shows is present, because I didn't watch it often, but most of the main ones seem to be here; Spock, Kirk, Scottie, Sulu etc.
Also joining them is Kirstie Alley, in the role of a young Vulcan commander and Ricardo Montalban who camps it up and dons a silly costume for the title role of Kirk's opposite number; Khan.
His performance was the standout of the film for me; he's deliciously over the top, but despite that he comes across as believable as his mannerisms fit the character profile that he is portraying.

 Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan Review
Although suitable for the entire family just like the rest of the Star Trek universe, the Wrath of Khan is the most mature and dark entry in the series… a flawlessly produced revenge story that holds the fate of civilizations in balance.
Khan and his crew's attempt to take over the Federation starship met with failure, and they were banished by Kirk to an isolated and uninhabited planet.
Not only was re-introducing Khan to the series a wise choice on the part of the writers', Montalban's delicious performance as the madman hell-bent on revenge stole the show.

The Wrath of Khan is probably my favorite of the Star Trek movies.
As I indicated in my review of Star Trek The Motion Picture, I don't think the movie is bad, but it is greatly surpassed by The Wrath of Khan.
Even if you have never seen (or have not seen in a long time, as I haven't) the original Star Trek episode featuring Khan, it is easy to figure out his relationship to Kirk and the rest of the Star Trek crew.

Although the film made its debut in some cities as Star Trek: The Wrath Of Khan, the title was quickly changed on most prints to Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan – essentially the only nod in the entire film that Star Trek: The Motion Picture even existed.
Khan was not written as that exciting a character, he was rather flimsy.
The Khan in the TV episode was a much deeper and better character than the movie Khan, except that Montalban pulled it off.

 IGN: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan - The Director's Edition Review
July 26, 2002 - Back in the 80's the best Trek film, The Wrath of Khan made its television debut on ABC, however the version the network showed was not the same one fans remembered from its theatrical run.
There are some minor problems here and there with some unavoidable specs and dirt in the print, some minor grain, and some scenes that appear a little softer than others, but for a film that's 20 years old this is one damn nice transfer.
As with the original disc, The Wrath of Khan has both the original stereo track in addition to a Dolby Digital 5.1 mix.

 DVDFILE.COM: Star Trek II - The Wrath of Khan review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The experiment worked; KHAN is still widely regarded as the best of the franchise, and everything from the look of the TREK world, including the sets and costumes, to the more dramatic and action-oriented flavor have became a template for all subsequent entries in the series.
Ricardo Montalban commands the screen as the highly-quotable Khan, still the best of the Trek big-screen villains, and the cast plays off their gray hairs with considerable humor but not the cringe-inducing preciousness of the later chapters.
Once again Montalban charms with recollections of his Khan getup, and other highlights include those icky ear eels, a look at the Genesis video sequence, which at the time was a pioneering use of computer-generated special effects, and the first-ever Star Trek starship dogfight in the Mutara Nebula.
