That Robot posted:thanks for posting a lot of poo poo out if context without captions The Indian Nazis with turbans are from the Free India Legion. A volunteer Waffen-SS group. The African Nazis and the Arab Nazis are probably from the Free Arabian Legion. A group created by Amin al-Husseini, the grand Mufti of Jerusalem, to aid the Nazi conquest of North-Africa. They were technically a branch of the Wermacht. The Nazis with the fezzes are Bosnian volunteers of the 13th Waffen Mountain Division of the SS Handschar (1st Croatian). They're pretty drat white but would still probably be considered to be subhuman and not Aryan by many NSDAP members since they are Slavic. Not sure about the Asian Nazis. Could be Japanese or Chinese or maybe even Mongolians. So numerous instances of non-Aryans fighting in the Waffen-SS and/or Wermacht. e: I mean I guess you could claim that the Indian dudes are probably far more Aryan than any German but according to NDSAP dogma Indians used to be whiter and purely Aryan millenia ago but had become degenerated due to race mixing.

My mom absolutely refused to let me rent this movie from Hollywood Video, on multiple occasions. I had to wait until I stayed at my dad's to watch it. I remember it being loving awesome, and it took me years later to recognize the satire. I still get sad when the big bug is afraid. And somehow the cgi holds up, which doesn't seem possible.

Jesse Owens was treated better and faced far less discrimination in Nazi Germany than in the USA. The Germans had some ideas about completely banning Jews from competing but a bunch of countries threatened to boycott the games if such rules were put in place.

What I never noticed the first 10 times I saw this movie was Sergeant Zim out of focus in the background of training scenes observing Rico and his behavior. How did I miss that part?

How did I miss that part? I actually JUST noticed this as well. I'm at the boot camp scenes now and he's standing in the background while Busey tries to cut in line and Rico puts him in his place. Probably why Zim gets a soft spot for him and wants to salvage him later on.

That was the "holy poo poo" moment I had when I first noticed it, but I think he's slightly blurry in the background in at least one or two other scenes.

Michael Ironside has never had a bad role everChickenWyngz posted:Roughneck chronicles was the best White Noise Marine posted:I would say this, but they kinda forgot the ending which is bad. Remember how the pilot to Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy basically stole the uniforms and the concept from Starship Troopers?  Remember that good Starship Troopers game? Me neither.

I very much wanted there to be a good Starship Troopers game. I remember seeing as or reviews for it in print magazines I used to get when I was young. The reviews were.... less than stellar. It's be nice if they would make a new one but there is no sort of market for it. Well poo poo, this is an odd statement, but I wouldn't mind if they remade this movie just to drum up more appreciation for it. They'd probably gently caress it up though and there would be no satire whatsoever that Paul Verhoeven does so loving perfectly. On second thought, scratch that idea. Point: Robocop remake. Edit - Those helmets look like they took them from the Starship Troopers wardrobe. Actually... I think they are. Exactly.
