10 Best Star Trek Fight Scenes

2. Starfleet Vs The Klingons - Trials And Tribble-ations

Star Trek Seven of Nine

This scene is just brilliant, alright? There was every excuse to put the original fight from The Trouble With Tribbles in here but the comedy of the scene, especially with the added inclusion of Bashir, O'Brien, Odo, and Worf just serves to make it even more impressive. Added to that, Bashir's reaction to punching a Klingon is priceless.

The fight aboard K-7 is legendary, whether it's Chekov's hot-headed indignation or Scotty's cool reply, before socking the Klingon across the jaw. That leads to a full bar brawl, which the audience knew as they began the scene in the tribute episode. Having the Deep Space Nine characters stand and join in - comedy gold.

Despite being the same species as the antagonists, it's clear that Worf has the upper hand against these sixties versions of the Klingons, sparkly burlap sashes and all. The fight serves to become one of the funniest moments in the series and remains one of the best tributes to Star Trek's early years that there has yet been. It may all be as silly as it sounds, but when it comes to Trek, that's not a bad thing.
