His works, which have strong aspects of homage and parody, are loved by many people for their beautiful brilliance. ``Galaxy Quest'' (1999) is a typical example.

"Galaxy Quest" preview

The movie ``Galaxy Quest'' (hereinafter referred to as ``Galaxy Quest'') is basically overflowing with respect for the original, but it is not a maniacal movie aimed at Trekkies. In contrast to the USS Enterprise from "Star Trek," a spaceship called the Protector appears in "Galaxy Quest." The composition of their crews is also very similar. The transport device and costumes are also similar. Tim Allen, who played the central character Captain Thaggard (actor name: Jason Ness), is a Trekkie himself, so he recreated Captain Kirk's hairstyle, facial expressions, and even the way he sat on the chair from ``Statre'', and even took to the skies after the battle. He performs ``extremely detailed'' imitations, including subtle gestures such as looking up and looking around. The episode in which Jason hears fan gossip about his co-stars' dissatisfaction with him in the bathroom of an event venue was actually experienced by William Shatner, who plays Kirk in "Statore."

A sequel to the same film was also produced, titled `` Trekkies 2: I Can't Quit Star Trek: The Motion Picture '' (2004).
