Star Trek parodies and pop culture references (film)

The following are Star Trek parodies and references in film.
==0-9==
===The 40 Year Old Virgin===
Goaded by his work mates, a nerdy guy who's never "done the deed" only finds the pressure mounting when he meets a single mother. To emphasize his nerdiness, the main character is an avid science fiction fan who has a lot of unopened collectibles. To "help" his situation, at one point a friend gives him a pornography collection including a film called Star Nuts which parodies Trek and Star Wars. This is also probably a reference to Space Nuts, although the segment was clearly made for this movie, and other parts of it can be found in the DVD extras.
===50/50===
When Adam, the main character, shaves his head for chemotherapy, his friend Kyle says he "looks like a Klingon, like Worf from Star Trek".
==A==

In this film, Jim Carrey – as Ace Ventura – does impressions of several characters from . While investigating an empty pool for clues as to the abduction of Snowflake, the dolphin mascot for the Miami Dolphins, Ace impersonates Captain Kirk, holding his sunglasses as though they were a communicator. As Kirk, Ventura "records" a log entry into his sunglasses, complete with William Shatner's clipped dialogue, stating:
:"Captain's log, stardate 23.9, rounded off to the... nearest decimal point. We've... traveled back in time to save an ancient species from... total annihilation. So far... no... signs of aquatic life, but I'm going to find it. If I have to tear this universe another black hole, I'm going to find it. I've... GOT TO, MISTER!"
Ventura then jumps forward to look at a drain in the pool and, with his face in the camera, impersonates Montgomery Scott: 
:"Ah just can't do it, captain. Ah don't have the POWER!"
And Dr. McCoy:
:"For God's sake, Jim, I'm a doctor, not a pool man!"
===Act of Valor===

* The doors aboard the Mayflower hiss open with the same sound effect used for the doors on the in and .
* The Mayflower is equipped a "worp drive" [sic], an obvious reference to Star Treks warp drive. The maximum speed is "worp 0.5", which is the first speed ordered by Kirk in Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
* The "voice-activated doors" at the Alpha-Beta Lunar Base are activated by the user imitating the door sound effect from the .
* Commander Buck Murdock is played by William Shatner, who plays him in the vein of Captain Kirk. Lloyd Bridges reprised his role as Steve McCroskey that he had previously played in the original. Interestingly, he had been seriously considered by Gene Roddenberry for the Original Series part Shatner was ultimately cast in.
* Commander Murdock is confronted with "this thing that has red lights that keeps going back and forth" which seemingly has no other function. The prop, is in fact, part of the Regula I set from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, where it serves the same function. The same prop later appeared in , , and frequently on , , and even , although some of these times the blinking lights were blue instead of red. (The prop even appears in some non-Trek films such as Last Starfighter, as noted by internet reviewer Mr. Plinkett of Red Letter Media in his Star Trek: Generations review.) Later, Murdock is confronted with "lights that are blinking out of sequence", a reference to the computer displays on the bridge of the Enterprise in TOS.
* Murdock orders "a complete file on everyone who's seen The Sound of Music more than four times." The Sound of Music was directed by Robert Wise, who directed Star Trek: The Motion Picture and stars Christopher Plummer, who later played General in .
* While gazing through a periscope, Commander Murdock is astounded to find the Enterprise flying through space.

===Free Enterprise===
This 1999 film focuses on a group of friends, all of whom are avid science fiction and Star Trek fans. Trek is mentioned throughout the film, along with others such as Soylent Green and Logan's Run, and the characters often use direct quotes. The film also stars William Shatner, who plays an exaggerated version of himself. Shatner actually only agreed to the role when the writers rewrote his character in the comedy as an over-the-hill, womanizing alcoholic, which allowed him to poke fun at himself. 
The film was directed and co-written by Robert Meyer Burnett, who can be seen in the documentary Trekkies 2 and was heavily involved in the remastering of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Author Mark A. Altman served as the movie's co-writer and producer. As both men are avowed "Trekkers" themselves, the characters in the movie also serve as their proxies. It also stars Phil LaMarr who would go on to have a recurring role in Star Trek: Lower Decks.
Legendary in fan circles became the inclusion of "The Forgotten Gene" in the end credit roll, a reference to the Original Series Producer Gene Coon.
In retrospect, the film can be considered an early precursor of the wildly popular, and heavily Star Trek referencing, sitcom The Big Bang Theory, in which Shatner has also made an appearance, under very similar conditions he had made for Free Enterprise.

===Galaxy Quest===
A witty and insightful satire of the Star Trek franchise, the personal lives of the actors, and "Trekdom", featuring Missi Pyle, Robin Sachs, Heidi Swedberg, Rainn Wilson, Matt Winston, Alan Rickman, Wayne Péré, Larry Richards, Joel McKinnon Miller, Jack Nolan, Linda Harcharic, Susan McNabb, Spice Williams, Tanner Gill, and stand-ins Guy Richardson, Lee Faranda, and Darius Montgomery.
The plot of this 1999 film revolved around aliens who have built an entire civilization upon TV broadcasts of a Star Trek-style science fiction TV series called Galaxy Quest have come to Earth to seek the aid of the cast, by then being typecast for their roles on the show, believing them to be real heroes. After several major mishaps, the cast eventually take on the roles of their TV show counterparts, engaged in a real battle for survival against a malevolent alien menace. In the end, it is the dedication of the fans, called "Questerians" – an imitation of "Trekkies" – , who understand the minute details of the imaginary futuristic technology of the show that saves the day.
Alan Rickman, who played the Nimoy/Spock-inspired Sir Alexander Dane/Dr. Lazarus (alien) primary character, was once rumored for the part of the Reman Viceroy in . Regular Next Generation stand-in performer Guy Vardaman had been considered by the producers for the part of primary character Guy Fleegman/Security Chief "Roc" Ingersol, but the part eventually went to Sam Rockwell. The part itself though, was very much intended as an homage to Vardaman's role in the Star Trek franchise, hence the first name of Rockwell's "real world" character. 
Visual effects company Industrial Light & Magic, having already done, and continuing to do so for the majority of the , has been the lead effects company for the movie, whose responsibilities included the construction of the studio models of the starships, including that of the "hero" ship, the Protector. While the film was a clear-cut witty, albeit respectful – hence its, due to faulty promotion, belated embracement as a favorite by "Trekdom", counting Jonathan Frakes, Patrick Stewart and J.J. Abrams among its most prominent fans – , homage to the entire Star Trek phenomenon, the ILM designers and modelmakers (which included among others Bill George, John Goodson, Kim Smith, and Alex Jaeger who had prior and subsequent involvement with the Star Trek film franchise) could not refrain from incorporating an in-joke onto the hero model by giving it the registry "NTE-3120", NTE standing for "Not The Enterprise", ostentatiously a tongue-in-cheek attempt to stay in front of any possible legal litigations by the Star Trek franchise. Additionally, the ship of the film's antagonist, Sarris, had a big gaping aperture at the bow, being more than reminiscent of the planet killer from , and which was far from a coincidence, but entirely intentional as confirmed by "Trekkie" Bill George. 
On the production side the film was further served by Production Designer Linda DeScenna and Makeup Artist Ve Neill, both of whom tracing their Star Trek pedigree back to , which they served in similar functions.
DreamWorks, the studio for which the film was produced, had actually expected a derogatory "Mel Brooks"-like slapstick comedy at the expense of Star Trek and its fandom – akin to Brooks' 1987 comedy Spaceballs, ridiculing franchise rival Star Wars (also referencing Star Trek, incidentally) – and did not agree to the more insightful and respectful film it eventually became, very much intended as such by the film's producers, as explored in the 2019 Never Surrender: A Galaxy Quest Documentary making-of documentary – the production of which in itself a testament to the continuing endearment the film has earned among (Star Trek) fans. Too late to do anything about it due to its impending release date, because DreamWorks was too preoccupied with the production of another very expensive film project (Gladiator), the studio went ahead to market the film as a slapstick comedy ridiculing the Star Trek phenomenon anyway, explaining its delayed adoption by "Trekdom" and eventual rise to cult status, especially when it gathered steam after the film was released on home video formats. 
The film actually bucked the usual industry trend by increasing ticket sales after its premiere due to word-of-mouth recommendations, residing for ten weeks in the top-ten best performing films of the 1999 Christmas season. In effect, Patrick Stewart at first refused to see the film, not only because he "didn’t want to see the piss taken out of me by [fellow stage thespian] Alan Rickman" (like Rickman's character Alexander Dane, Stewart would become a "Sir"), but mostly because he was falsely led to believe that the film ridiculed and insulted the fanbase before he was informed to the contrary by co-star Jonathan Frakes. The documentary featured many Star Trek alumni endorsing the film as part of Star Trek, with Wil Wheaton even going as far by declaring that Galaxy Quest was "the best Star Trek movie".
Incidentally, the rights to Galaxy Quest are now owned in full by former Star Trek franchise owner Paramount Pictures, after it acquired the film when it purchased DreamWorks in 2006. When Paramount decided to reissue the "Deluxe" home video format edition of the film in 2009, it commissioned Star Trek franchise mainstays Mike and Denise Okuda for one additional special feature, the "Galactopedia", a -like illustrated Galaxy Quest glossary. 
In 2021, prolific Star Trek partwork publisher Eaglemoss Collections released the reference book Galaxy Quest: The Inside Story (), modelled after the template set by their earlier released Star Trek Voyager: A Celebration reference book.

Turist Ömer Uzay Yolunda (literally translated, "Ömer the Tourist in Star Trek") is part of a Turkish series of comedy films focusing on a character called "Ömer the Tourist" who finds himself in strange situations while traveling across Turkey. In this film, Ömer is beamed aboard the Enterprise – or the Turkish equivalent – with a vaguely effeminate Kirk and a somewhat more emotional version of Spock and ends up being part of a story remarkably similar to that of The Original Series episode (but also with elements of and ). The music and sound effects are notable, some clearly having been ripped directly from classic Trek episodes (and the rest being stolen from The Outer Limits).
A major point of interest is the extensive use of Turkish historic sites such as Ephesus for location work. Thus, while it lacks an American-scale budget, it takes full advantage of classical sites of a type which America itself lacks, but arguably might have been appropriate for certain episodes.

When Wayne, Garth, and Cassandra (an up-and-coming rock singer), arrive at a producer's (Benjamin Kane) studio apartment, Cassandra states that she has never had French champagne before. Benjamin responds that all champagne is French, or it is just sparkling white wine, but Americans call it champagne because they do not know the difference. To which Wayne, Mike Meyer's character, replies "Ah yes, it's a lot like Star Trek: The Next Generation. In many ways it's superior but will never be as recognized as the original." Also, Garth whistles the theme to Star Trek while they are looking at the stars. The film featured Mike Hagerty in the cast.
===Welcome to the Dollhouse===
Steve has a Next Generation poster in his room.
===The Wizard of Speed and Time===

===X2===
Starring Patrick Stewart, Famke Janssen, Rebecca Romijn, Bruce Davison, and Aaron Stanford, this second installment in the X-Men film franchise was directed by Bryan Singer, an avowed fan of , which X2 shares many parallels with. 
During the mansion assault scene, Wolverine approaches William Stryker, who holds the secrets to Wolverine's past that he has been seeking, only to be blocked by a wall of ice created by Bobby Drake. When Stryker presses his hand against the ice to examine it, Wolverine holds his against the shadow of Stryker's, visually mirroring the scene of Kirk and Spock pressing their hands against the glass separating them during the latter's death. 
Stryker blames Charles Xavier for the death of his wife due to Xavier failing to "cure" his mutant son and her suicide being the result of her trying to escape their son's psychic hallucinations, similar to the way Khan blames Kirk for the death of his wife. In another parallel, Stryker even engages in a form of chemically-induced mind control over mutants applied at the back of the neck, not dissimilar from Khan's Ceti Eel-induced mind control; this even extends to turning members of the X-Men (Xavier and Cyclops) against the team, much in the way that Khan turned Chekov against Kirk in the film. Finally, Stryker's plan to make use of the X-Men's typically-benign Cerebro for genocidal purposes recalls Khan's intentions to twist the Genesis Device into a weapon instead of its originally intended constructive purpose. 
At the film's climax, the X-Men are gathered in the Blackbird/X-Jet and attempt to escape a bursting dam at Alkali Lake, but vertical thrusters are offline and all power to the engines is cut off. Realizing the need for an external power source, Jean Grey steps outside to telekinetically provide liftoff for the jet while simultaneously holding back the flood waters before they overtake her, sacrificing herself. The heroic death was directly inspired by Spock's sacrifice in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. In the final scene, Grey's voice is heard reciting the opening monologue from the first X-Men film as the flames of the Phoenix rise from the site of her death, in nearly the exact fashion as Spock's recitation of the Star Trek monologue at the end of that film, hinting at a resurrection in much the same manner. 
===X-Men: Apocalypse===
After the all powerful mutant En Sabah Nur has arisen from his millennia long suspended animation, young Storm takes him to a house in Caïro's slums. Once a god in ancient Egypt, En Sabah Nur needs to acquaint himself with the modern languages and this he does by using his powers to extract the information from a playing television set. At that moment is being shown on the set – in English.
The film was directed by Star Trek enthusiast Bryan Singer, and the theme of that Star Trek episode actually fits the theme of this X-men film, as the clip shown concerned the scene where Carolyn Palamas denounces Apollo as a god.
===X-Men: Days of Future Past===
Like its 1983-set sequel mentioned above, this was directed by Star Trek enthusiast Bryan Singer. When Hank McCoy (Beast) reveals his set-up for recording news off the available television stations in 1973, a repeat of is shown, specifically the clip of Kirk saying "We can go back in time." The footage used in the film was taken from the remastered version of the episode, easily identifiable by the updated chronometer shots. As the scene is set in 1973 and the remastered version of the episode wasn't created until 2006, this constitutes an anachronism.
Hank also comments about Peter's superhuman speed being "fascinating" (in the style of Spock).

===Zapped!===
The lead character uses his telekinetic powers to play with a model spaceship he built from a backwards Millennium Falcon with a pair of movie-era USS Enterprise warp nacelles and pylons glued onto it. He daydreams about the bridge crew members, who are recognizable parodies of the classic Trek crew, being attacked by his pet dog.
Merritt Butrick who played Captain Kirk's son David Marcus in The Wrath of Khan, released during the same year, also appears in the film. 
===Zapped Again!===
The lead character yells out "Scotty, beam me up!" before he gets beaten by the antagonist of the film.
===The Zero Theorem===
This 2013 science fiction film by Terry Gilliam has a brief reference to the phrase "Beam me up, Scotty" in a confused phone call between Qohen and Bob.
===Zodiac===
In 's 2007 film, based on the real-life "Zodiac killer" case, the killer tells attorney Melvin Belli (played by Brian Cox) that he liked his Star Trek appearance, referring to Belli's role as Gorgan in .
===Zoolander===
The main antagonist fashion mogul is called Mugatu, named after the Mugato (commonly misspelled as "Mugatu"). Also, Zoolander's father cries out "Damnit, Derek, I'm a coal miner, not a professional film or television actor." (see I'm a doctor, not a...).
=== Zootopia ===
Starring Idris Elba. 
A movie theater is showing Star Trunk (elephant trunk). Also, supposedly (according to IMDb) the "P" in Nicholas P. Wilde's name stands for "Piberius", a nod to Kirk's middle name, Tiberius.
