Joe Rogan critiqued the fight scene from Star Trek and described it as one of the “dumbest ever”, comparable to a scene from another show at the time, ‘The Six Million Dollar Man’ in which the main character takes on ‘Bigfoot’!

Analyzing the scene where Captain Kirk faces a lizard man or ‘Gorn’, Rogan expressed confidence that he could defeat the slow lizard! He stated, “First of all this lizard is so goddamn slow, I would f*ck this lizard up. I would… look at this, I would f*ck him up dude.”

Rogan, known for his background in martial arts and powerful kicks, also revealed what he would do to beat the ‘lizard’. He stated, “I would be leg kicking him right now, whap, whap, take them knees out”.

But it wasn’t just the ‘lizard’ who found himself being criticized as Captain Kirk’s technique was also found to be lacking by Rogan who exclaimed, “Oh, what a sh*tty body kick” in response to Kirk’s attempt at the move on screen.

The discussion showcased Rogan’s candid and humorous take on the Star Trek fight scene, providing entertainment for fans and listeners. His playful analysis and confident claim of defeating the lizard injected humor into the conversation while still showcasing his martial arts expertise!
