Explanation: (T)Raumschiff Surprise is a german sci fi parody movie by a popular (in Germany) comedian troupe from 2004. It mostly mocks Star Trek and Star Wars but also incorporates nods to other popular sci fi media (for example, the Han Solo-like Rock Fertig Aus (Til Schweiger) pilots a flying yellow cab).
There actually was an old DC strip, ‘Space Cabbie.’
Some of the stories are pretty clever.
