Can somebody help me locate this scene?


In my mind, I was conflating a scene from another sci-fi spoofing deliberately stupid comedy from the '70s with my memories of Quark, but having just watched the series through on DVD, I not only didn't see the scene, but I recall it being somebody who looked nothing like Commander Quark.

The scene finds the hero of the show or movie suddenly transported to the bridge of an enemy starship with bad guys closing in on him from all sides. So music inexplicably starts playing and he uses Disco dancing as a martial art to fight his way out of the situation. I recall the entire scene as a brilliant work of deliberately stupid comedy for not only using the pop culture of it's time to build up it's hero in a ridiculous way but also the choreography as a slapstick masterpiece. (Although since I was a kid at the time I might remember it as having been better than it was.)

Does anyone else recall such a scene and know what it's from?

As God is my witness, I thought Turkeys could fly.

Sounds like something with Robert Hays in Airplane.
