Star Trek fight choreography check list - 1. Grabs onto ceiling or pipe of some description and kicks out with both legs. 2. Double handed clobber. 3. Judo chop. 4. Vault / throw into wall.
That was one of the most ridiculous and poorly choreographed fight scenes I've ever seen in my life, it was just like watching a real episode of ToS! Great work!
8:03 What I'm getting from this is that Led Zeppelin joined Starfleet and violated the prime directive by playing for the natives, who now revere them as gods.
I mean they do come from the land of the ice and snow after all, from the midnight sun where the hot springs blow. With their hammer of the gods of course.
Takfarinas Abdiouene grandfather paradox. You'll kill the production. Then there would be nothing for avgn to shit on. Meaning you won't have videos to go back to show. And the games won't stop being produced. So they WILL make them, and avgn will shit on them. And you have videos to go back in time to stop them from making it so avgn doesn't have material so that you don't have proof so that theyndont stop production so that avgn has material and you have proof to stop them so that theyndont make it so that avgn has material so that you have proof so that they will stop it so that avgn doesn't hav
To be honest a Star Trek video game would be awesome. Just think about making a custom captain, upgrading your ship, exploring new worlds and controlling parts of the ship and its crew.
pathg13 I loved the ship combat in that game! Sending Power to different sub-systems, loading out your ship, and then engaging enemy ships! BUT THOSE FUCKING PLANET SIDE MISSIONS! Every time I heard "We need to send a landing party" I would consider just logging out!
There was a great Star Trek game called "Star Trek: Voyager - Elite Force" back in 2000, it's a FPS so it's not exactly what you're looking for, but I'd give it a run if you at least enjoy FPS games on some level.
The guy who plays the Klingon. He helps James out a lot with the channel and has also been in a few other AVGN videos as the Joker and the Cowardly Lion.
I have fond memories of playing the NES Star Trek. I beat it as a 14 YO with no help. It was a fun, thinking game that was different than the other games I was playing like Arkanoid or Spy Hunter. I felt like part of the show. I remember mom yelling for me to turn the volume down. I guess the sound must have been irritating.
The Rated Oni Channel True. But from what I recall of the series (assuming the Enterprise wasn't being attacked by a giant spaceborne Abraham Lincoln, or something equally dramatic) Kirk was most likely trying to seduce the wall rather than exclusively slamming into it. Not that the two aren't interrelated... :3
They didn't travel to 1920s Earth. They traveled to an alien planet that had built a society based around 1920s organized crime about which they had a book.
@@DarthRushy it was never explained how and when the klingons evolved into the look they have in TNG, so maybe they developed the weird forheads when starfleet still had the OS uniforms?
I've been playing thru the avgn episode games for jokes and Star Trek on NES is surprisingly good. The graphics and sound is awesome and they do a perfect job of recreating the experience of watching the original series. While this is its greatest strength, it is also its greatest weakness. It doesnt quite feel like a game, more like a hybrid between a game and watching Star Trek, so after a level or two the novelty wears off and you dont want to play anymore. Kinda like when you're watching Star Trek and after an episode or two you want to do something else. Very faithful indeed.
I’ve never been a Trek fan, but this episode really makes me laugh and I always come back to it. The level of frustration he has with his crew I find hysterical 😂 Also the tropes and stereotypes he pays homage to are spot on.
The Genesis joke refers to the original start trek movies 2 The Wrath of Kahn. And 3 A search for spock. Long story short there was a planet called Genesis that was an experment by the federation of planets. The Kilingons wanted it for themselves.

I actually really liked the NES game at the time. You have to hand it to them for actually trying to create an experience like the TV show. At the time it was much more likely they'd turn it into some crappy side-scrolling shooter that really had little to do with the series.
Please. Please. Do some more of these VERY creative episodes. I know they take time but it why you have always been at the top of this genre. You were no.1 for along time!
A Piece of the Action isn't about going back in time. They find a 1920s gangster themed planet in their own time that was caused by a primitive and "highly imitative" people getting their hands on a book about Chicago gangsters from the 1920s.

2. Double handed clobber.
3. Judo chop.
4. Vault / throw into wall.
Read this during the fight scene and realised you could make a bingo game out of this
But no obvious stunt doubles...
Seriously, the choreography for the fight scenes in all the Star Trek series' were pretty bad.
As bad as they were you must admit that they had a certain charm to them
I've always loved Star Trek fights, they're just sooooooo bad lol
They should have gotten a stunt double that looks nothing like James to play him in the klingon fight.
Big black dude with a white skull cap
xLDKx NewYorker I'm a year late but I was gonna say that GAHAAAHAHAHAHAA
they should've used one when James did that wall bounce thing.
Lol
Ha!
I love how they made a ridiculously weird fight scene similar to the original series. James knows how to properly pay tribute to the show :)
this episode is like the ultimate nirvana of nerdom...i love it ^^
also the mention to the genesis
Best part of this video after all these years is that the Klingon doesn't just get transported into the room, he comes in through a door. lol
Why do I get the feeling that James and Mike have re-enacted fights from Star Trek in their spare-time before?
Hahahahhaahahahah great comment
Is because they did
That was one of the most ridiculous and poorly choreographed fight scenes I've ever seen in my life, it was just like watching a real episode of ToS! Great work!
Not really. It's missing the painfully obvious stunt doubles.
@@gengarzilla1685 maybe they couldn't afford that
8:03 What I'm getting from this is that Led Zeppelin joined Starfleet and violated the prime directive by playing for the natives, who now revere them as gods.
They were also reprimanded due to rumors of backwards Satanic messages...
Now THAT'S metal!
If its Led Zeppelin, what's the name of the song?
I mean they do come from the land of the ice and snow after all, from the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
With their hammer of the gods of course.

Just like some ST time travel - related episodes.
I think James and Mike might just be the greatest choreographers in the history of action scenes. lol

I played Star Trek online and that got me entertained for a while.

Here's a fun random fact. Dr. Martin Luther King was a Star Trek fan. He actually talked Nichelle Nichols to stay in the show.
It's always good to have friends in high places.
What a nice thing.
Right after nichelle was about to quit when paramount was withholding her fanmail
Strange definition of "fun"
@Hairway to Steven Took me a long time to hear it. Or rather read about it.
Mike does a pretty good Klingon accent.
Also it'd be pretty funny if they put in an obvious stunt double for James during some scenes of the fight.
Whos mike?
The guy who plays the Klingon. He helps James out a lot with the channel and has also been in a few other AVGN videos as the Joker and the Cowardly Lion.
what did he say ?
Do you want Genesis? You can have Genesis!

So functionally the same thing? Both preposterous.

That has to be one of the goofiest premises I've ever heard of. Awesome.
The Star Trek fight is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. I love when James randomly throws himself against the wall
Tune in for the continued adventures of Captain James T. Nerd as he boldly explores shitty games where few had gone before.
So many classic Kirk moves in fight with the Klingon.
Happy 50th, Star Trek. May you continue to boldly go!
Well, as of next generation it is their continuing mission.
Star Trek stopped going years before its 50th. Geordi is smart. Can he make it go?
Star Trek sucks now. It hasn't been good since DS9 ended.
And it's been completely ruined by white saviours
HAHAHAHAHAHA when he ran into the wall at 4:18 IM LAUGHING SO HARD

Wait, you're in a TOS uniform but that was a TNG Klingon. (But that's okay, TNG Klingons are cooler.)

Also the tropes and stereotypes he pays homage to are spot on.
Would’ve been funnier if he said “To boldly go where everyone refuses to.”
AVGN should make a 2nd Star Trek episode, this time covering the Next Generation games
No, those games are actually pretty good. He threw a few of them around when trying to get to the NES Game.
stdamon I was given the Gameboy TNG title. It was terrible for me, not sure if anyone enjoyed that one.
Try the Genesis or SNES one on Rom or emulator. The Game Boy one is a port of the NES one that isn't very good. Its just pew pew pew space battle.
The Avgn Trek Theme is actually pretty good, damn.
"What, do you want Genesis? You can have Genesis." XD
4:19 I love how he goes from fighting on the floor to being thrown into the wall. 😂
“I tried calling it a piece of shit. I tried giving it the finger.” 🤣🤣

It always amazed me how James puts a game inside an original NES without doing it the "right" way in order for it to work.
I remember playing the PC version of "Star Trek: 25th Anniversary" and its sequel, "Judgement Rites". Loved them both.
What's the song in the klingon fight called, I know it's in a lot of episodes.
It's called, "Ancient Battle" and was first heard in the original series episode "Amok Time."
