This isn't the first time that song has surfaced in the world of Trek; in the 2009 franchise reboot, a young Captain Kirk was seen stealing his mother's boyfriend's vintage car, and when he put on the stereo, "Sabotage" was playing. Apparently, that moment made a big impression on Kirk; in the next movie, 2013's Into Darkness, he's seen listening to a remix of "Body Movin'." The love goes both ways: the Beastie Boys have referenced Trek through the years as well, namely in their underrated classic "Ch-Check It Out," from 2004's To the Five Boroughs, which has the lyrics, "All you Trekkies and TV addicts…" and "All you Klingons in your Grandma's house'" The video, meanwhile, sees the Beasties wearing old-school Trek uniforms and also beaming down to Brooklyn, transporter style.
