Verhoeven owns since even when he makes exploitive trash like Show Girls, it still owns for some reason.

Why did the rifle blow the lab arachnid apart with one bullet at a time, but all the others had to be hosed down by entire platoons before even taking a scratch?

Volume posted:The movie is also filled with great political commentary such as this. I like the bit where the one guy says he joins the army because school would have cost him an arm and a leg. And then he gets killed by dismemberment in the very first battle. VVVVVVVVVVVV Well duh, I mean if everyone spoke German they would figure out that they were all Nazi stooges.

Someone needs to turn this avengers, everyone is out for doing the right thing bullshit on it's head. Just gratuitous PG-13 violence, with a gently caress all attitude.

Kind of sad to think that we'll never get another action movie quite like this because big budget action movies have a higher bar of quality now.

Was it ever explained how the bugs could aim/redirect/fire/whatever meteors across galaxies? I get that there are plasma bugs, but its on the other side of the milky way. Or is that the point, a jab at lovely military intelligence designed to fit your existing motives

"It's afraid," wasn't just some bullshit imagined ESP, it was afraid, because these rear end in a top hat humans were coming to take over their world.

Half of Jake Busey's face is an ear-to-ear smile that's all teeth...just these fearsome, gigantic chompers that make him look like a Shambler from Quake. He's hoppin and scootin around like some kind of spaz, but goddamn the man can play a mean neon-green fiddle. For the briefest of moments, the universe's hardest (both figuratively and literally) men and woman forget the fact that they are brainwashed conscripts fighting an eternal war against gargantuan xenocidal space bugs. For the briefest of moments, all that matters is Busey's wildman fiddling. Nobody gets too close to Busey, though, until somebody does and Busey leans over like he's going to whisper something to the man. But then Busey's jaw is unhinging like a snake and those teeth are closing down on either side of the guy's head and Busey's literally biting this FNG's head off. There's blood everywhere but already half a dozen soldiers are crowding around just so they can cop a feel of the hot red stuff. They're smearing blood on their faces and purring and growling and generally being real wild maniacs. It's something the brass will never truly understand, even when they're doing everything they can to exploit it. You'll never be able to explain to a man like Colonel Doogie Howser--a closet homosexual wound tighter than a girdle on a Baptist minister's wife at an all-you-can-eat pancake breakfast--why it feels good to cut another man's head off; you're never going to convince him why you need to gently caress your bunk buddy right after you kill a (wo)man from another squad and worship the god of death. If the whole thing was just about killing bugs, there wouldn't be twenty minutes of jump cuts between Rico executing recruit after recruit, and then humping Dizzy, and then killing more recruits.

How come there haven't been any legitimate Starship Trooper games? I mean, there was that one game where you just defend outposts from swarms of bugs while NPC teammates complement each other, but it had basically nothing to do with the spirit of Starship Troopers. I'm talking about Ironside finger-loving head holes with a cyborg gauntlet, and battle buddy sex minigames, and Mass Effect "dialogue" where you sexually harass Fleet pilots, and that sort of thing. Where's the "Brick Breaker" games that slowly reveal a nude Dina Meyer? It's outrageous that here we are in 2015 and we're still practically banging rocks together like cave men.
