Star Trek in pop culture:
(Suggested by Doug from Atlanta) The Boondock Saints. 1999, Starring Willem Dafoe, Sean Patrick Flanery, Norman Reedus. Sensing a God-given mission to cleanse the earth of all evil, twin brothers Conner and Murphy set out to rid Boston of crime.
In this scene, a crime boss named Chekov walks into a bar and tells everyone to get out. This is what happens. There’s a bit of BTTF in there too.
