Great film. One of Verhoeven's best.

Filled with top waifus as well.
>>
>>69221026
One of my favorites, not sure if I prefer Starship Troopers or Total Recall though since they're both great.

You're thinking of American Pie, Starship Troopers didn't have any sequels.

I can't be friends with anyone who dislikes Starship Troopers.

Brilliant tongue-in-cheek criticism/satire of fascism/war-mongering that went over a LOT of film critics heads. Check out Rob Ager's analysis of Starship Troopers, it's fucking great.

It would be extremely painful.

Fun as a standalone film, horrible as an adaptation of the novel.

Muldoon always plays that role. He'll always be hated for taking Kelly away from Zack.

totally ridiculous but highly entertaining

How do you know it was scorching? It's an alien planet, could have been 45F or something

>Brilliant tongue-in-cheek criticism/satire of fascism
Not really. There's literally no critique and the satire is limited only to those silly propaganda clips and the uniforms.

>The Mobile Infantry made me the man I am today
>I want to have babies. You know, it's a lot easier to get a license if you've served.

>>69224050
But these aren't really criticisms of fascism. Can you tell me what's inherently wrong with being becoming a citizen to have children in a country?
>>
>>69224050
>there's millions of ideologies hostile to democracy
>that's just militarism that exists everywhere
>lowering birthrates has nothing to do with fascism. communist china does it
So basically they shoehorned authoritarian and militaristic stuff in the movie and called it brilliant satire on fascism.
>>
>>69224050
Its showing that fascism works. Read the goddamn books. The writer gave a blue print for how it should be done.

I think its an undeniably comfy movie

It's completely different from the book

>>69222574

It's a pretty big bug.

I like that Verhoeven can make a film like this and then turn around and make something as wildly different as Showgirls, even if it was bad. Though I liked it
>>
>>69224050
The book is clearly fascist propaganda... I mean, it's entirely unironic

Good anime

Loved it as a kid, still think its a great rewatch.

Would like to see a high budget remake but would be worried they would fuck it up

For you.

Rob agers website has the videos taken down, is there possibly a torrent or a site that has it streaming?

>>69221026
Awful book adaptation, great movie
>>
I love the (ugh) satire, or whatever you'd call it. the propaganda videos and the teacher at the beginning made me think I was gonna love the movie

then it's two hours of annoying young people having sex, and cheesy action scenes.

blown opportunity

>>69224487
It was anti military junta and was a huge critique of nazi Germany. Did we even read the same books?

You can tell a lot about a man if he would rather take Carmen over Dizzy.

It wouldn't be the same without Verhoeven.
