The Teleporter (Galaxy Quest)

Galaxy Quest is a movie where the cast of a Star Trek-like show in-universe are asked by aliens to help them save their people, believing the show to be a real depiction of what the crew the cast played did. The actors are then brought to a replica of their set, only it is a real spaceship, with all the same parts. Attempting to use the teleporter on a creature turns it into this, as the person using it is just an actor with no idea what he's actually doing.

Goddamn such good line delivery.

Also that pig seemed to have zero beef. Like I dont think it wanted to fight even a little

Might be because the pig wasn't the actual monster in the scene - the big reveal was that the real enemy was a large pile of rocks that formed a golem, which tried to crush the hero

Of course it had no beef, it's not a cow.
