This made me 😁😁😁

Couldn't of said it better myself😁

Definitely mate.

Peter K I will have to agree. He does just very good job and i look forward to every episode.

I get you.

That’s classic.

But wait... I have TWO hands! (Psych! I'm gonna press the LIKE Button!)

@MultiBagram I think there are a lot of aspects of that film he wouldn't have approved of.

@MultiBagram A lot of that towards the end of his career. His early SF adult novels were much more straight-laced given the audience it was written for.

thats always been my favorite satirical and insightful bit of commentary in the whole movie

I would love to have met her

I met her in Germany at Weekend of Hell horror convention. She is an awesome person!

So down to earth and very appreciative of her fans.

I met Her at Dragoncon in 2017 . Had my pic taken with Her. She gave Me a Big ole Hug an Autograph photo of Her . Ricco was there to . Met Him. He was Awesome. I'm a Disabled Marine he came over the table to shake my hand. Very Awesome .

Met her in Toronto at TCC there a few years ago. She was very nice.

Top 3, but Hollow Man were greatly misunderstood like any other Verhoeven movie.

And screamers

Can't go wrong with a Verhoeven film.

All 3 of those movies could be in the same universe if you think about it lol

Three of my top sci movie

Titanic didn't have good CGI, and yet won the oscar instead of ST, only because it were about Titanic. CGI quality didn't matter. Titanic have dated terrible and look so fake. Amazon that Cameron who made Abyss and T2 could fail so far with CGI later.

@@V3ntilator I once read in a historical magazine that move version of Titanic had a chimney that functioned, while it was not functional on the real Titanic.

@@danielolsson7134 yeah titanic only had 3 smoke stacks the 4th was for looks

the ships are actually models, not cgi.

@@iantolyczak8411 That is absolute garbage. Though it didn't function as a smoke stack it had another purpose other than good looks. Certainly looks were a part of the reason they made a 4th, but it was decided that it would do well as a ventilation for the turbine room, galleys and kitchens. So there's that. It wasn't a complete dud. Overall it would have also had a worse balance if it wasn't there.

But what an impression he leaves. He's like Jack Nicholson w/out the humor.

all movies suffer from a lack of Michael Ironside...ALL OF THEM.

@@scottmantooth8785 except Total Recall, Scanners, X-Men First Class, Terminator Salvation. Ok maybe even he couldn't save that last one.

Until there is a movie where Michael ironside plays all the parts, there will never be a perfect movie

Most Michael Ironside movies suffer a lack of limbs

the whole damn movie should have been her shower scene.

Yes please.

And we see it in starship troopers invasion.

Go see Wild Things...

Starship troopers gone wild

Noice!!!

This caused me to want to join army the movie after

One of the best sarcastic jabs ever.

This movie makes me want to join Space Force!!!👍💪😎

I'm doing my part.

I'm doing my part! Are you doing yours? Would you like to know more?

well done, Citizen!

Thanks for reminding me. I am doing my part.

Also used in Power Rangers Lost Galaxy

And in Power Rangers Lost Galaxy.

Fun Fact for you: In the novelization of Starship Troopers The character of Dizzy Flores was a guy and had died in an unnamed battle before the beginning of the novel

The only good critic is a dead critic.

I was just commenting that it was the perfect movie to see with my 13 year old friends that summer at the small theatre in a little ski town up north. (I thought it was the beach, but I just remembered otherwise)

I also remember them in Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy when I was a kid.

Came here looking for this

And the uniforms were used again in Agent Cody Banks where are you scene where Cody is doing like a ski with a rocket powered ski board he touched the perimeter fence with his laser pen and you see one of the soldiers wearing the Starship Troopers mobile infantry uniform with the vest the pants the jacket even the gloves and boots.

and Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy

and Impostor (2001) :D

And the Live Action Gundam movie G-Savior that was trash.

@@Thesupersaiyanlord You mean Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy

Take my love, take my land, take me where I cannot stand. I don't care, I'm still free. You can't take the sky from me... Such a tragedy this series didn't survive.

Agreed. She was never madly in love with him... I love Dizzy's character. Madly in love, despite Rico's dissatisfaction. A shame....everyone was in love with someone else in the film.

Nope she didnt but dizzy did

@Old Iron and i almost fell for the pretty aloof girl

Both were attractive to me. But Dizzy was best girl... And battle buddy.

@@MrPingn how could rico not love a badass woman like dizzy i guess it was one of those best friend with a girl thing

Looking back on it now, Dizz was way hotter than Carmen. Strong and sexy at the same time.

Absolutely agree. I recall having a strong dislike for Carmen when I saw this in theaters.

Yeah.... Denise Richards piloting a space ship is like asking my five year-old to solve perpetual motion.... probably not happening.

@@thomasloveless4800 I didn't find that part out of bounds. Flying in space isn't that hard, it's the re-entry that's scary. Simply on the face of things, Neve Campbell would have made a more plausible pilot and I would have preferred to see her in this movie instead of Richards. Bad timing. I just wanted Carmen to die. She almost instantly rubbed me the wrong way. It was the James Bond movie ('The World Is Not Enough'?) where Richards played a nuclear physicist. To say her casting 'strained credulity' would have been a compliment. No matter how serious Richards took that role, deep skepticism of her just couldn't be overcome.

Touché

Satire is supposed to be that way, which why the man who Robocop a satirical statement on society was the PERFECT choice to make a movie version of ST work.

That was attributed to a WW1 Sargent who was leading a charge in that war

yup, so cheesy at times it's yummy, and so corny with a little butter it's delicious! haha

@@lars1701again I never knew that !

@@beeman2075 It was Highlander.

Ha! I like what you did there... Off the top of my head: Take the GLORY ROAD to BEYOND THIS HORIZON where THE MOON IS A HARSH MISTRESS.

And I'm cool with that. The book wouldn't make a good movie. Too cerebral. It's about ultimate libertarianism and a treatise justifying sovereign franchise. Such a great book. Look up deaddropsd1972 on youtube. He did a really amazing audiobook adaptation.

Well, it did have the most important part: Federal service to EARN citizenship and the right to vote.

Yup they never read about how the Troopers Armor was set up, but if they had they would have made a poor movie even poorer. I enjoyed the the book did not like the movie.

I see what you did there, well played. Lol

I know, but i understood it on release as i already knew Verhoevens way of making movies. If people understood Robocop, they should automatically understand Starship Troopers too. Robocop were sadly looked at as a cheesy B-Movie on release too.

The bugs were fine, but where's my power armor? No wonder the MI took so many casualties.

I preferred the movie but, in all fairness, I saw the movie first.

Yeah she was one of the best parts of the movie.

Killing Dizzy...always thought that cost the movie a couple of million at the Box Office

I thought Dina was good in Johnny Mnemonic as well

exactly and it doesn't take itself too seriously. There's obvious plot holes you can drive a truck through but they don't care. What's worse is movies that also have huge plot holes but hope you don't notice. This movie? they scream LOOOK AT THIS PLOT HOLE DAMMIT, AIN'T IT GREAT??? LOL

JT CROWNS Hmm I don't know about that. I really like Dina but Yvonne Craig as Batgirl and the out fit they poured her into, ouch! She also played an Orion Slave girl, woman, in Star trek. With her chacter in that you would have to sleep with one eye open! Although the Orion girl in the reboot movie with red hair🤔😳😌 she gave Yvonne a run for her money, what a choice if you had to make one🤕🤔🙄💞 Met Yvonne Craig very reserved, a grown up Wensday from the TV show Adams Family really fun to talk with. I said she blew up the trains boy did she set me right, in a fun way, Pugsly did that! And to top it off Alexis Love, aka Joyce Gibson, a very classy Lady. Talk about a trilogy to meet at one table!😌😳😍👍💞

It was an awesome movie to see with my 13 year old friends at the beach that summer!

Yeah,I think it was the 1st time that the props were use in other franchise/movie

They also turned up in an episode of Firefly.

I'm sure that worked better than those old 'Sword & Sandal' flics... where the Philistines wore slightly modified German Stalhelms!

wstine79 ...your right! just realized that!

Yep

Yeah but have you talked to anyone from Germany lately? They almost speak with an American accent.

@@wyndhamcoffman8961 same goes for Japan....they are embracing all things american.....

It was a bunch of AMERICANS living there they were stationed in that country, none of the main people were supposed to be Argentians

@@homelesshannah50 So why not just base their 'home' location in the States? Why could it not be LA that got destoryed? Or Orlando, Dallas or Detroit etc etc?? Whatever the city, the motivation would have been the same. What's the significance of a Latin American counrty... And why does Rico make such a point about been from Buenos Aires. Why not just make the point that his familiy was killed. Oh, and the OFFICAL Starship Troopers wiki says he's is IN FACT FROM ARGENTINA...

@@sithompson74 Doesn't the military usually send people to FOREIGN countries?!! I'm pretty sure a global superpower like America would have its' hands in the whole world's cookie jar. It might also explain the terrain have you seen many American cities that look like that?

The uniorms were also reused in Power Rangers Lost Galaxy.

The helmets were used in Babylon 5.

Wow. Sound on this is so loud. You're right.

😂😂😂

i heard the crunch

This makes zero sense

THE ONLY GOOD BUG IS A DEAD BUG!

I tried to hit the Like button but a knife hit my mouse hand!

My parents took me to see Starship Troopers. To this day, I have still never seen Titanic.

I saw both as well. I saw Titanic five times, and all five times left with a sore ass. I may have see. Starship Troopers a second time. Today both grace my home library.

..i say leave it alone... they sid a re-make of 'Ben-Hur' & well,...no. there are many films that need not be touched... look at RoboCop... i enjoy the re-make but something was still missing...

The gear is also used in power rangers Lost Galaxy

careful...it's heavy...here have some bullets to play with

Hey, I had a .22 when I was 8.

there can be only one...

@@rcktgrg why don’t you refute my comment by referencing the alleged fascism examples instead of the mouth breather comment you left? Try again?

I never heard of that either. But i can agree on that it's Aliens 1986 of the 90's.

Starship Troopers blows away the Phantom Menace. That movie ruined Star Wars for me.

really liked the Lynch version of Dune especially the Toto soundtrack

I WILL FILM HIM!!!

They are remaking it should be good. www.imdb.com/title/tt1160419/?ref_=nv_sr_1?ref_=nv_sr_1

It’s not a remake.

So I take it you hated the movie, then? It certainly wasn't much like the book.

@@rcknbob1 Actually, I quite liked the movie! Yes, it deviated from the book. It's goofy af. But it stands and falls on its own merits. I would love to see a film version of "Stranger in a Strange Land". We've had a couple of attempts at "Dune", with mixed results. While I liked the David Lynch version, it was really strange! I recently read "Glory Road". Quite a good romp. I recommend it.:)

@@jasonbean1176 My choices would be "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress", "Double Star", and "The Door into Summer." As much as I would like to see "Stranger in a Strange Land" a truly good adaptation wouldn't get less than an NC-17 rating. Not because of the nude scenes (which were actually quite mild compared to current films) but because of what he has to say about the whole religion industry. What they did to "The Puppet Masters" was criminal and even Kiefer and Donald Sutherland were able unable to rescue it.

@@@jasonbean1176 Actually, I agree with you about the movie - both fun and goofy. My point (which you seem to agree with) Is that it isn't much like Heinlein wrote. As to a film version of "Stranger", Jim Calhoun is right - the sex and nudity in nowhere near as much of a problem as the religious issues. I read "Glory Road" back when the Vietnam War was still going on, and I think that the contrast between what Oscar goes through in Star's universe and how it is for him "back in the World" is one of the best analogies of how it was for returning vets I could have seen to help me understand the disconnect of the time. "A good romp", however, indeed.

@@rcknbob1 The movie was fine for what it was. "Roughnecks" was closer to the book.

What’s there to say?

Indeed. And what little the book touches on civilian life there is very little to be gained from service other than the right to vote and hold office (to my recollection anyway). They hide breading rights away behind service or being wealthy enough to buy them. The "indoctrination class" in the book is more about explaining the philosophy about why things are the way they are and making kids think. (You can literally disagree with everything the teacher says and the worst that can happen is you get what amounts to "does not play well with others" mark on your record that won't hold you back from much of anything). It is kind of funny..... franchise based on voluntary service is "fascist" but compulsory service for every able bodied person is not as long as everyone can vote.

It is very fashionable for those who don't truly understand nationalism (pride in ones country), patriotism, and the willingness to sacrifice your tomorrows for another's today to live in freedom, to label such beliefs as fascism as was was dome in the beginning.

Being honest and transparent... I've posted this reply elsewhere in this thread... I first 'discovered' Heinlein during my college years (1985-1987) and went on to collect all of his published pieces of work. Starship Troopers was one of the earliest I acquired and remains a favourite today. In my view, Starship Troopers the film is only based on Starship Troopers the book in the VERY loosest sense. In fact, although in later years I came to appreciate the film purely as light entertainment, I remember when I saw it for the first time, being thoroughly disappointed and unhappy at the way 'Hollywood' had twisted and corrupted the book's original premise and basically dumbed it down for the consumer generation. Throughout the catalogue of his works, Heinlein explores a number of themes; what I took away from ST was the philosophy that those who govern should only do so after 'earning' through service the right to shoulder the responsibility... "A soldier accepts personal responsibility for the safety of the body politic of which he is a member, defending it, if need be, with his life. The civilian does not." A simplistic and unrealistic ideal perhaps, as history has certainly had it's share of military dictatorships, but would it actually be any worse than the mess we have today, in which we're governed by bureaucrats and self-promoting, political-propagandising media 'whores'? Q. How can you tell if a politician is lying? A. Their lips are moving and there's sound coming out. * Edited to add... p.s. Anyone know of any other Heinlein works that have been filmed... other than Puppet Masters (with Donald Sutherland) which I already have and which was done purely as a sci-fi yarn?

The way it should be.

@@chrispeters2645 Predestination (2014), starring Ethan Hawke, was adapted from "....All You Zombies," a Heinlein short story. I thought it was quite good.

The uniforms we're also used in Power rangers Lost Galaxy.

Napalm .. that should do. In the movie Them they used flamethrowers and cyanide bombs, so these might be viable alternatives. And if all of this fails: you can still import an ant eater as a pet, so that they get eaten alive

Nuke em!

Nuke 'em from orbit, it's the only was to be sure. Oh, wait. Wrong movie.

These are really good ideas guys, but I've already committed to the idea of shrinking myself and my sterling silver toothpick down to a quarter of the size of the ants, and take each one out mano e mono.

Good point. The book was meant to promote authoritarian jingoism. The movie satirizes that view. A lot of people don't pick up on the satire.
