The Enterprise-A bridge is mostly a new set, except for the turbolifts, Sulu and Chekov's helm console, the handrails, and some of the platforms on which the portions of the bridge stood. According to the DVD text commentary, a new bridge set was necessary, due to the original movie bridge set being mostly damaged by a sudden windstorm while in temporary storage at the Paramount Studios parking lot (other sources have the reason for the new bridge set's construction as being because this had been extensively modified for use on TNG to the point that this could not be converted back), and only those few pieces used on the Enterprise-A bridge were salvaged from the original set. Captain Kirk would thus seem to briefly break character when he muses "I miss my old chair." The decoration from the salvaged set was also used for the Stargazer bridge and for the battle bridge on Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987).
