MISTAKES/GOOFS

CREW: When the shuttlecraft door closes a hand can be seen guiding it shut from the outside.
FACT: McCoy states that the partial pressure of oxygen on the planet is 70 mm of mercury, with nitrogen at 140 mm Hg and trace elements comprising the rest, calling it "breathable", whereas in fact it is far from breathable - the overall pressure is very low and the oxygen level is far too low.
FAKE: When the spears strike the rocky landscape, its real nature can be seen. One spear strike causes it to wobble, and another cuts the landscape, causing some of the stuffing to come out of the set.
CREW: The protective eye goggles for the stuntman playing as the Taurean Neanderthal (hitting the roof of the shuttlecraft with a boulder) are visible.
FACT: When Scotty is putting electricity on the hull of the shuttle, there is no need to avoid contact for the people in the shuttle with the hull (Faraday cage).

TRIVIA

The black rectangular instrument with the round face on the aft bulkhead of the shuttlecraft is actually a Foxboro controller, a device used in the wastewater industry to control the level of sewage in holding tanks.
The shuttle craft was built by AMT in exchange for them gaining the rights to make the toy version.
The character Boma reappeared in the Star Trek book, Dreadnought, where it is revealed that his experience under Spock's command transformed him into an alien-hating bigot.
