From the 1954 movie Princess of the Nile:

PRINCESS OF THE NILE - Dance Sequence - Debra Paget

This can't be a coincidence, can it?

Well, I see the video went away.  Go to 4:22 in the vid below-

Debra Paget RULES as "Princess of the Nile"

Then watch this:

ORION SLAVE GIRL Vina (The Cage)

-and tell me there's no influence.

I bet they were laughing their butts off on the set.

I've seen the same scene in any number of sword and sandal movie, why single out that one? 

[Buster's Uncle]

'Cause Jeffrey Hunter was in it.

"Trekkers Gonna Trek" Rebuttal

I disagree that First Contact was just an action movie.  Lots of horror in there... (which doesn't make it trek, but does make it the only one I've actually enjoyed)

[Buster's Uncle]

Yeah, First Contact had its flaws, but I thought it was okay -- but then, I didn't hate Insurrection that much.  I don't think that's just contrarian impulses talking.

[Unorthodox]

Still haven't seen Insurrection.

In fact most the movies I'm spotty at best. 

1 and 3 I've seen, then the boss drug me to Generations (opening night at a fan club showing...who boy), First Contact, and whatever the Clone Picard one was.  She lost interest with that one, till the recent reboot.   Oh, and we went to the trek hotel a while back. 

[Buster's Uncle]

Clone Picard was Nemesis, which killed the franchise until the abomination came along.  Did you hate it as much as everyone else did?

[Unorthodox]

Um, it was barely distinguishable from one of the TV episodes, which is the only movie I've seen I can say that for. 

[Buster's Uncle]

They said that about Insurrection, too, like that's a bad thing.

I think one of the things wrong with the movies is trying to hard, because they're movies.

[Unorthodox]

I will say the trek hotel was pretty awesome.  Highly respect the makeup artists and actors to put that on every day.  Sad it's gone. 

[Buster's Uncle]

The thing in Vegas?

[Unorthodox]

Yeah.  It was gonna reopen somewhere but now isn't or something.
