Like ghosts appear in cigarette smoke

After careful perusal of box-office figures for 1981, we have determined that my answer to that data-scraping meme in which the main character of the number-one film of the year in which you were born is now starring in the first movie you ever saw is Indiana Jones and the Dancing Cavalier. Since spatch informs me that Indy was canonically born in 1899, he would be in his late twenties for the events of Singin' in the Rain (1952) and since I find it funnier to interpret this meme as a crossover rather than a substitution, I am now trying to figure out what archaeological mishegos he could be perpetrating in Hollywood that would bring him into contact with Cosmo, Kathy, and Don—and whether, depending on the nature of the mishegos and the timeline of his tenure at Marshall College, he could have Marcus with him. Inevitably, some producer is going to offer him a contract to star in an adventure serial.

That actually sounds like a really fun movie. I'd watch it.

Having looked up box office figures and wracked my brains, I'm still not sure about the first movie I ever saw, but going with the first one I have a distinct memory of watching, I think we've got Rocky starring in Star Trek III. I'm not even sure where you'd go with that. Illicit Starfleet underground boxing ring?

I would, too!

I am confident those exist, to the point where I feel there should have been an episode about one (or some futuristic equivalent, but if people play baseball in the Starfleet future, they probably still box).

I'm pretty sure there IS a Voyager boxing episode centred on an illegal fight club kind of thing and Chakotay has to box??

I rest my case!

I Googled Voyager Chakotay boxing episode and I did not imagine it - it's called The Fight and I'm not the only one who finds it eminently skippable, according to wikipedia. But I knew there was one!

ETA: It's not the fight club one, though. I've obviously amalgamated the two in my head.
