10 Best Star Trek Fight Scenes

6. Everyone Vs Klingons - The Way Of The Warrior

The Way Of The Warrior finally gave Star Trek fans the all-out smackdown between the Klingons and Starfleet that had been teased since the early days of the franchise. While budget constraints had been barriers in the past, these were swept aside for the fourth season opener of Deep Space Nine.

While the battle outside the station has turned up on several lists, the fight that rages inside is equally impressive. With enough bombardment to knock out several shield generators, Klingon soldiers board the station, and all hell breaks loose. Everyone gets the opportunity to show off in these scenes.

Odo takes on Klingons on the Promenade, while Bashir is on hand to help. Garak and Dukat use Bat'leth and phasers to protect the Detappa Council, while in Ops, Dax, Sisko, Kira, O'Brien, and Worf hold the fort. The new Mek'leth sword is introduced as Worf plunges it into a soldier's stomach, while the trusty old D'k tagh knife makes an appearance - as it's plunged into Major Kira's side (she's fine, it looks worse than it is).

Dax takes on yet more soldiers with another Bat'leth, while Sisko shoots as many as possible. It all combines to become one of the best fights in Star Trek's history, proving that the crew of DS9 certainly are more than toothless old Grishnaw cats.
