All he does is mix and match pieces from other good media, not very well disguised. It’s copycat not genius.

[@ScottRogersMightyBedbug]

Great video. Fun fact: In 1989, I wrote and pitched a sequel episode to "A Piece of the Action" to the TNG production team. It was called "All of the Action" and involved the Iotians developing teleportation and sub-warp technology thanks to Bones' communicator. The Iotias hijack the Enterprise but Picard bluffs his way out by showing the eager gangsters all of the other hostiles in the universe they'd have to deal with making the Iotians back down. There were some other subplots about two Iotians from separate gangs falling in love and Data learning how to bluff in poker. If there is anyway to access WGA's script library, you could probably find it there (a copy was registered with the guild back then). The TNG staff turned it down because a) they said that they "didn't make sequels to TOS episodes" back then and b) the scene where Picard uses the holo-deck to show a map of the known universe would have broken the episode's budget (an effect that would be "nothing" to do these days!) and the episode was rejected. However, it's nice to know that Tarantino and I were on the same wavelength!

[@Bulletsandblockbusters]

That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing. I wish the ep was made it sounds great! You’re in good company tho!

[@k012957]

If Netflix or Amazon were truly smart, they would contract Tarantino to produce a Star Trek-like series. It wouldn't be the 10th movie, because it would be a limited series (8 to 13 episodes). It would allow Tarantino to do what he wanted, and choose the best stories to make.

[@the7percentsolution]

Fun little fact about "A Piece of the Action" is that when the 30th anniversary of the franchise was coming up one of the pitches for DS9 was to revisit the Iotians and find out that they moved on from the gangster theme and were now obsessed with imitating Kirk and Starfleet. So basically an entire planet of Star Trek fans! Ultimately they went with Trials and Tribble-ations which of course is the better choice.

They ended up doing a similar story in the Star Trek Prodigy episode “All the World’s a Stage.” The civilization there was visited by the Kirk era Enterprise and they’ve based their culture around Kirk and his crew, but they lost details as the stories get passed down through the generations. “Live log and proper” (or something along those lines) is a common greeting, etc.

[@DanielAppleton-lr9eq]

@@Bulletsandblockbusters There was a story where somebody finds the communicator that Bones left behind, they reverse engineer the circuitry & somehow Starfleet becomes an influence on the Iotians.

[@mrtrek2117]

Just the fact that Tarantino loves classic Trek and his favourite character is Shatners Kirk gives me a good feeling about him directing a Trek movie, because let's face it, classic Trek is the best and it's very specific. Directors who are not fans of the original show and have no love of classic Trek should not be allowed anywhere near the direction of Star Trek movies!

[@oo0Spyder0oo]

[@tomasinacovell4293]

Nothing in the world could be cooler to me than Tarantino making a Star Trek, but what is it that he likes about Shatner and Pine that he admires? I hate the "Kelvin Timeline", and everything J.J. Abrams including J.J. Abrams should be flush down the shatner machine.

A Piece of the Action: The Movie, would have been a great fit for Quentin Tarantino's style. I personally do not like cursing in Star Trek, as the recent shows have seemingly embraced... However, if the gangster aliens were the ones swearing, then cut to a shot of Kirk and Spock looking at each other with confused expressions, and uttering something silly such as "double fract to you", like they did in Voyage Home... That would have been funny and entertaining!

[@debram5090]

The new profanities don't sit well with me either ... some have forgotten that you can make good movies and shows without it. Vocabulary should be more creative than this. It's a lazy way of speaking and writing. I grew up watching ST as a kid but swearing is something some parents don't want their children exposed to at a young age. Mind you, I'd expect some in a gangster-style Tarantino Trek as suggested above. Love to see the crew return to pick up their cut ...! Great fun.

This honestly sounds a better idea for a graphic novel co-written by Tarantino. The problem with a film is that it is clearly going to influence in one way or another what comes next.

Quinten is absolutely right that the original series episodes could easily be expanded to movies. That is in fact what was done for several of the movies. The first one with V-Ger is basically the episode with NOMAD. Wrath of Khan expands on the Khan episode. The movie with Spock's brother Sybock, is the Eden episode expanded and retold.

I'm 100% sure someone explained it in Back To The Future terms or maybe The Terminator. I just don't think Tarantino is Phi Beta Kappa material, know what I mean?

[@pepperpeterpiperpickled9805]

A Tarantino star trek movie about 1920s gangsters, reminds me of the simpsons episode with the kids doing market research for itchy and scratchy *"So you want a realistic down-to-earth show that's completely off the wall and swarming with magic robots?"*

[@Bulletsandblockbusters]

LMAO

[@willmfrank]

My go-to joke about Quentin Tarantino's Star Trek would have Samuel L. Jackson as Ben Sisko: "Say 'Emissary' one more time! I dare you! I DOUBLE-dare you! Say 'Emissary' one more Prophets-damned time!"

[@NoticerOfficial]

Has anybody noticed that Craco is very obviously the inspiration behind Colin Farrell‘s penguin

[@Bulletsandblockbusters]

I never thought of that. Interesting idea!

[@jasonbiggss]

QT will only make 10 movies because he only stole verbatim cut&paste from 10 Master Director's movies and QT hates to repeat himself.

[@crazysquirrel9425]

Remakes are usually never as good as first run. One of the best things in the original series was the comedy epilogue between Spock, Bones, and Kirk. Time is circular. A circle/ellipse of sorts.

[@mattr5669]

Into Darkness was my favorite of the three….

[@Bulletsandblockbusters]

That’s a hot take but I respect it!

[@Daemon3667]

I seriously doubt Quintin could refrain from using the N word!

[@neelixstfc-server0218]

Actually... QT is a fan of keeping a working cannon as just that. I think he would keep it true to original form.

[@AntiWokeOne]

The mishandling of Star Trek has been awful.

[@matthewgaudet4064]

Considering Strange New Worlds has utterly destroyed Star Trek canon, might as well allow people to do whatever they want.

[@TwinRiver100]

Thanks for finding what Tarintino wanted to make. I heard that he was announced to want to make a Star Trek 4, but never heard what it'd involve. Nice to know it was The Gangster episode. That sounds like a fun episode premise to adapt on screen Tarintino style. When I first heard about this news years ago, I never got any follow up on the extra details for what he had in mind. Thanks❤🙏 I think I would've liked this adaptation for a 4th Star Trek film. It's too bad Paramount was more attracted to the script from the Rings of Power team just because it had Hemsworth in it and I assume they hoped it would get more investor money bc of how high profile he was at the time I assume that script was written. I know this is very armchair quarterback, but what if they took some of the Rings of Power plot of Buffer Papa Kirk and put him in the Tarintino story somehow? If they truly needed him for the extra financing for the extra investor money Paramount needed or something? Like maybe The Gangsters have Papa Kirk somehow for some reason. And later on its a father son gangster movie bonding thing or something...I don't know, just random thinking 🤔 How about that? But now roughly knowing from what u were able to find via podcasts and other research pieces, I think i mightve liked Tarintino Star Trek if they gave it a chance. 😔

[@docdaytona108]

Love Tarantino, but him getting annoyed by the rebooted OG crew’s alternate history is VERY rich.

[@666deadman1988]

Thank god this didn't happen. As much as I respect Tarantino as a filmmaker, his sensibilities are completely wrong for Star Trek and he clearly didn't understand it beyond the surface level appreciation of a casual fan.

[@Morristown337]

Combining Tarantine and Star Trek are my 2 favorite things. We are missing out on an amazing movie. A peice of the action? Will he at least do a season premier or opener for Strange New Worlds or find a way to make "A Peice of the Action" Tarentine sequal? I would pay just for the episode.

[@whytebearconcepts]

Man, the editing in this video is amazing. Yeah, the storyline is great and very informative, but damn, send your editor to Disneyland!!!

[@Bulletsandblockbusters]

Thanks! Much appreciated. And it's all a one man show :)

[@DrewTrox]

My favorite Trek movies are the two-part episodes of TNG. Or just watch all of the Borg episodes in a row.

[@Bulletsandblockbusters]

Yeah there’s some great two parters

[@boba6890]

The idea that any divergence from canon infuriates Star Trek fans is wrong. The problem with current Trek is that the writing is terrible; breaking canon is secondary, a result of terrible writing. Current Trek stinks because it checks boxes and hits people over the head with messaging instead of telling a great story with characters we care about. Tarantino understands you only actually need Kirk, Spock, and McCoy; he loves "The City On The Edge Of Forever", "Yesterday's Enterprise", "A Piece of The Action", and he's right to hate the Kelvin Timeline. It's idiotic. It was created by idiots.

[@Han_Shot_1st]

You know what.. a one off 2 or 3 episode mini-series, Yes. Something front-line in the trenches Dominion War. Or something with intelligence operatives &/or section 31. I could see that.

[@Titan52berg]

Thank the stars that this film never happened! Tarentino would have exaggerated everything in this film , too!

[@kevindondrea144]

I hated the JJ Star Treks but love the new cast. Then someone told me it was called the "Kelvin Timeline". When I found out the original timeline was still intact then I was OK with it.

[@k2bny]

It would be like Picard Season One with more gore, violence, and swearing.

[@hezekiahramirez6965]

Where's your cortical node, buddy?

[@jamesszalla4274]

The Kelvin timeline came about because of licensing issues. Paramount and CBS split into two separate entities in 2005. CBS got the television rights to Star Trek and Paramount got the movie rights. Since the movies were based on the television shows, Paramount had to get a license from CBS to make more Trek movies. CBS granted the license but required Paramount to create the alternate timeline to keep the movies from impinging on any future TV shows. CBS and Paramount merged together again in 2019, which made the Kelvin timeline superfluous. However, because the Kelvin timeline movies didn’t do well at the box office, Paramount had problems trying to get financing for any future Trek films. There was talk of a movie where Kirk would time travel, meet his father, and merge the Kelvin timeline back into the prime (TV) timeline. Last I heard, the project had yet to be green lighted.

[@benwillis124]

This would be absolutely fantastic! I hope this eventually gets made, Tarantino would have really done the newer films justice! Love the idea of "rebooting" the reboot and resetting the timeline to the TOS timeline.

[@TheLingo56]

I would've found this pretty great, but I'm not sure how well it would fit as a movie compared to a TV episode. If another Trek movie after this one would've been confirmed and coming out soon, like the MCU, then people would probably be more accepting of this being a fun B story. As a large tentpole though, many would've gotten upset at this movie.

[@robb481]

A Tarantino Star Trek would be awesome. He's a master of dialogue and the interactions between Kirk, Spock and Mc Coy would have been classic. Don't let the Rings of Power people near Star Trek, please 🙏

[@Bulletsandblockbusters]

Agreed!

[@irishspagetti6565]

I would be interested to see a 1960s style Star Trek film from Tarantino, I think that would be right up his alley

[@Appleblade]

What are those guys shooting at the beginning of the vid? Pretty good blanks?

[@waynemccormick4773]

Bear in mind the sets for "Strange New Worlds" (Which I LOVE) look more like the sets for the Kelvin timeline movies. Much of the tech we see in TOS was absolute by the late 90s/early 2000s. I think Quintin Terentino is perfect to direct a Mafia themes Star Trek Also bear in mind Checov had a very small part in "A piece of the action" I'd love for Terentino to have had a shot
