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

The A-Team
A bogus movie sent to Murdock as part of his escape stars "Reginald Barclay," which had been played by the original Murdock Dwight Schultz. Schultz himself appeared in an after-credits scene involving Murdock.

Above Us Only Sky
In one scene of this 2011 German film, Paul addresses his wife, Martha, as "Mister Spock".

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective
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
Senior Chief Miller chides Christo for not having seen Star Trek before starting the interrogation.

Airheads
After the rock band, The Lone Rangers, take over a radio station and spend some time talking on air, DJ Ian the Shark shouts into the microphone "Warp speed, Mr. Sulu."

Airplane II: The Sequel

While the original Airplane! movie was a parody of airplane disaster films, the second picture parodied science fiction, including Star Trek, with scenes such as:
 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.

Alien: Resurrection
Shortly before the Betty arrives at its destination at the beginning of the movie, a computer game is seen running on the screen of one of the bridge stations, showing the destruction of a Klingon Bird-of-Prey.

Two of the Bettys crew were played by Ron Perlman and Winona Ryder, whereas Brad Dourif appeared as a scientist with Leland Orser as on of his victims. Raymond Cruz played the part of a soldier aboard the military science vessel Auriga where Nicole Sarah Fellows was seen as one of the Ripley clones. The computer game destruction sequence was that of Chang's Bird-of-Prey featured in , re-purposed as that of the Duras sisters' Bird-of-Prey in .

In addition, Mego action figures of Kirk, Spock, and a Klingon, along with a small model of the Enterprise, are among the numerous pieces of sci-fi memorabilia seen on the bookshelves of Mendez's son's bedroom.

Fox) dressed in a radiation suit, wakes George (Crispin Glover) and introduces himself as "Darth Vader" – an extraterrestrial from the planet ; the pronouncement closes as he gives the requisite Vulcan salute, a custom common to its people. In the deleted extended version Marty also mentions that the Supreme Klingon was ordering George to take the Human unit known as Lorraine to the dance.

The film co-stars William Sadler as The Grim Reaper, and also features Roy Brocksmith.

Boomerang
While watching an episode of The Original Series with his girlfriend, Eddie Murphy's character, Marcus Graham, talks about how he is a Trekkie.

The Boondock Saints
When Ivan Checkov introduces himself, Murphy McManus jokes "Checkov? Well, this here's McCoy. We find a Spock, we got us an away team."

This 2017 German movie features several characters from the 2004 movie (T)Raumschiff Surprise – Periode 1, including Jürgen Thorsten Kork (James T. Kirk), Brigitte Spuck (Spock), and Schrotty (Montgomery Scott).

The Cable Guy
This dark comic film, released in 1996, stars Jim Carrey (see also: In Living Color) as a lonely, television-obsessed cable TV installer named Chip Douglas. In the film, the fanatical Chip befriends Steven (played by Matthew Broderick), his latest "customer". In what is perhaps the most memorable scene in the film, Chip and Steven visit a  restaurant, where they engage in a staged jousting and fighting tournament. During one of the fights, Chip begins to picture their fight as the battle between Jim Kirk and Spock in the TOS episode . He battles Steven – whom he refers to as "Jim" – while handling his poleaxe like a Vulcan lirpa and vocalizing the highly-recognizable music used during the "Amok Time" battle sequence. The real music from the episode begins playing in the background as Chip and Steven continue to duel. Also, on a list of Cable TV company employees, a Jean-Luc Picard is found.

For the record, Andy Dick portrays the Medieval Times host who assists the two combatants.

When the young crewmember seems rattled, Hunter attempts to motivate him by asking if he had ever watched Star Trek. When the young man replies affirmatively, Hunter asks him if remembers an episode where the Klingons were going to blow up the Enterprise, leading Captain Kirk to call down to Scotty and demand more warp speed. He then compares himself to Kirk and the technician to Scotty and asks if "Scotty" can handle the task. "Scotty" replies "Aye, captain." Later, when Hunter prepares to retake the sub from the trigger happy captain, he calls down to the radio room and tells "Scotty" that "Captain Kirk" needs "warp speed on that radio."

The sequence was shown onstage during the official Star Trek 30th Anniversary studio celebration, as a prime example of how deeply Star Trek as a phenomenon had permeated in popular awareness and American culture, and is included in the registration of the event, released in 1996 as the celebratory documentary, Star Trek: 30 Years and Beyond.

Fanboys
In this film mainly centering around Star Wars fans, Star Trek fans are depicted as a rival group, who often clash with the films protagonists. 

In the scene in Riverside, Iowa, one of the protagonists fights with a Star Trek fan dressed up as a Vulcan in a manner reminiscent of the famous fight scene in , complete with calling "time out" in the moment T'Pau stopped the fight in the episode.

The two groups engage in various debates such as whether or not Darth Vader could take on the Borg Collective in a fight or who would win in a fight between Han Solo or James Kirk.

The film features Star Trek cast members Cliff DeYoung and Raymond Forchion.

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
[[File:Galaxy Quest cast.jpg|thumb|Galaxy Quest'''s main cast]]
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.

Star Wars films
Billy Dee Williams was considered for Jean-Luc Picard.

Both the Trade Federation droid and Republic Clone Trooper armies have uniforms with yellow/gold, blue, and red "shoulders" marking different types of troops. The "red shoulder" droid troopers, in particular, are destroyed in vast numbers (the "command" droids have gold shoulders as well). The Trade Federation's name may have itself been a reference, as in Episode II, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda refer to their vessels as "Federation Starships", while the word "starship" is rarely used in the Star Wars films. In Episode I, Qui-gon Jinn uses something similar to a Vulcan neck pinch to subdue a panicky Jar-Jar Binks. He is then told by Obi-wan Kenobi that he "over did it."

Prior to supervising the visual effects for all of the Star Wars prequels, John Knoll acted as visual effects supervisor for  and . Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith effects supervisor Roger Guyett assumed the role as supervisor for .

The character of Sarah, claimed to be "the best empath from Berkeley's School for the Clairvoyant" is a slight parody of Deanna Troi. In different situations, she speaks up, stating the obvious facts, like "I sense a feeling of anger in him". In fact, noone actually believes she's a real psychic, until she successfully manipulates a pair of panthers into attacking the enemy instead of she and her teammate.

In the scene the protagonists are returning to France in a fictional period airship, when they are jumped by the equally fictional airship of their antagonists in an reenactment of the first encounter, followed by demands of the evil Rochefort character that followed the same pattern of Khan's demands in the Star Trek movie, including the "generous" sixty seconds time allotted to hand over, in Rochefort's case, diamonds (Khan's line in scene 91 of the ). What follows is the reenactment of the Mutara Nebula encounter, when the airships of the heroes escapes by diving into the cover of clouds, complete with lightning flashes like those in the Mutara Nebula, again accompanied by several lines paraphrasing those spoken in the Star Trek movie, such as Athos' line, "He is persistent, I'll give him that." (Kirk's line in scene 181). The battle is decided when the heroes make use of Rochefort's "two-dimensional thinking" (Spock's line from scene 203) by surprising their enemy's ship from above.

It is about a pull-string cowboy doll named Woody and a space ranger action figure named Buzz Lightyear in the world where toys come to life. In the back of Buzz's suit, a symbol resembles the Star Trek badge. Buzz Lightyear does his mission log similar to the Captain's log. Buzz is stationed at the Gamma Quadrant in Sector 4, which is a reference to Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. In the fight of the gas station, Woody jumps on Buzz Lightyear the same way Admiral Kirk does at Commander Kruge from Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, Buzz does a Vulcan salute at Woody after the fight. At the commercial of the Buzz Lightyear action figure, there is a reference of the wrist communicator from Star Trek: The Motion Picture and as Buzz Lightyear fires lasers in the commercial. The laser sound is from Star Trek V: The Final Frontier when the Klingon Bird-of-Prey destroys God of Sha Ka Ree. 

Before being spun off as Pixar, the Graphics Group of Lucasfilm's Computer Division created the Project Genesis demo seen in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
Toy Story 2
The sequel features a scene with the camera pulling back to reveal Buzz Lightyear put into a box on a toy store shelf, surrounded by multiply versions of himself in same boxes, a similar pull-back scene to that revealing the assimilated Captain Picard among thousands of Borg drones in the beginning "nightmare sequence" of .

Lucas says the bump on his head makes him look like a Star Trek alien.

(T)Raumschiff Surprise - Periode 1
This 2004 German comedy film (featuring Reiner Schöne) is a spin-off from the television sketch show Bullyparade, which featured skits of the Star Trek parody, "Raumschiff Surprise". The plot concerns around a spoof of the original starship Enterprise (called Surprise) and its (all gay) crew, including "Captain Kork", "Mr. Spuck" ("Mr. Spit"), "Schrotty" ("Trashy"), "Doc Pulle" ("Doc Pill" or "bottle"), etc. and also parodies of other science fiction franchises, like Star Wars.

TOS is referred to as Raumschiff Enterprise (Spaceship Enterprise) in German, and the name is also a reference to  (The Dream Ship), a West German analog to the American series Love Boat.

"Turkish Star Trek"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.

U
U.F.O.
In the opening scene of this 1993 direct-to-video vehicle for British comedian Roy "Chubby" Brown, a starship loosely resembling the Enterprise is seen flying through space, as a captain's log is recorded in voiceover. The ship is then revealed to actually be tiny, and gets splattered on the windshield of the ship belonging to the film's villains, causing the first officer (Roger Lloyd-Pack) to quip "Oh, look, there's a Spock on the windshield.

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 fit 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 the in 1983 set above mentioned X-men film, this direct prequel was directed by Star Trek enthusiast Bryan Singer. 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).
