Rockdontrun made a funny video of Lieutenant Uhura (Nichelle Nichols) from Star Trek: The Animated Series mashed up with dialogue from Truck Turner, a 1974 blaxploitation film about a bounty hunter co-starring Nichols.

Truck Turner is the absolutely best blaxploitation film ever, and Nichelle Nichols makes it so. I believe that she invented (or popularized) bee-atch in this masterpiece of wa-wa pedal driven zaniness.

Rob Zombie uses some of these same dialogue samples in "Dead Girl Superstar".

I never knew it was Lt. Uhura I was listening to. :-)

Antinous, you are so right. It's a criminally underrated masterpiece. (One of my favorite bits is the cinema-verite bum fight over the opening credits.)
