Some people are just......


Bear in mind, that battle had been going on for a while before the Enterprise arrived, and the Defiant was built to take quite a beating. More than any other ship in the fleet, and is still fighting when other ships go down..so it's hardly "getting its ass handed to it", as you put it.What I find funny about the ship you're talking about, The USS Defiant (NX-74205), in the show (DS9) they say it was designed to fight The Borg and yet it get's it's ass handed to it within seconds of the movie starting.
He's also Porkins in Star Wars.One of the U.S. agents in Raiders of the Lost Ark, is also Lt. Eckhart in Batman.

I didn't know about this one until a few years ago because I had never seen Star Trek The Motion Picture that I didn't know the main theme to it by Jerry Goldsmith was re-used as the main theme to Star Trek: TNG, I had always thought the theme to ST:TNG was original.

Jack Black was in DPO, an episode of X-Files season 2.
t:he's actually a werewolf...yeah, I watch it ::come at me bro:: lolThis has been a revelation but I was re-watching Spider-Man and the guy playing Flash Thompson is none other than the vampire beefcake hunk that women swoon over Joe Manganiello from True Blood. damn he really bulked up.
To add to that crossover goodness, the main green guy, Tarkas, is Willem Dafoe (Green Goblin), and his rival is Tom Haden Church (Sandman). The bad guy from the red team is Dominic West (Jigsaw from Punisher), and there are at least 3 actors from HBO's Rome (Ciaran Hinds, James Purefoy, and Polly Walker).John Carter and the Princess from John Carter were both in the Xmen Wolverine movie he as Gambit, her as Logan's girlfriend.
