Last night on https://watch.vcr.party/ (Mastodon) we watched Red Sun Rising (1994), a Don “The Dragon” Wilson martial arts movie so classy its full title is actually Red Sun Rising: Based on the Legend of the Death Touch.

Before we even get through the opening titles, it’s clear we are in a familiar location: The Japanese Garden at The Donald C. Tillman Water Reclamation Plant in Van Nuys, Los Angeles, California.

You know… Starfleet Academy.

Watch the video if you’d like to see the familiar grounds of Starfleet Academy but instead of a sage old man imparting nuggets of wisdom, you want to see a evil wizard ninja imparting sensuous neck snappings.

Oh yeah, content warning: sensuous neck snapping.

Bonus: the lead female role is acted by Terry Farrell, playing a racist LAPD cop. (Don’t worry, though, in the end it turns out… she’s not quite as racist as the other LAPD cops.)

Bonus bonuses:

• The evil wizard ninja is played by James Lew, “uncredited stunt Romulan” (words I want on my headstone). https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/James_Lew (Also in the truly terrible Shira The Vampire Samurai.)
• Head FBI agent played by Edward Albert https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Edward_Laurence_Albert
