This must be dumbest thing I've read all day. So you like good-looking women made ugly.

one of the few examples were a bad movie, terrible source material and horrible screenplay turned out to be hilariously entertaining and quite layered if you get the anti-fascist satire. A cult classic, not as good as Robocop of course but still. They do not make them like that anymore. The sequels were just insipid and bad alas. I like Starship Troopers, but it bombed hard at the box office, that's probably why the sequels were so bad. Budget:$105,000,000 (estimated) Opening Weekend USA: $22,058,773, 9 November 1997 Gross USA: $54,814,377 Cumulative Worldwide Gross: $121,214,377

One thing about Caspar Van Dien is that his movie career never went to great heights after starship troopers. He's always been busy, but if its not TV, it's often been low rent junk; subsequent trash like Uwe Boll's santimony (2000) or dracula 3000 (2004) became his standard for the 21st century.

I remember the trailer for it showing before the Lost World or something. It looked pretty cool, November was a bad time to release it.
But the romance plot was so wonky----plus the target of satire is broad--so the liberal reporter who says they shouldn't be going to war ends up eviscerated by the aliens and they are shown to be merciless at the same time the discomfort over the victory is encouraged.
In the supposedly fascist society the white man gets whipped by a black man and the military commander who devises the scheme to defeat the aliens is black too. There's no gender discrimination in the society either.

HBO needs to get smart and make a live action Starship Troopers tv series. That could be really badass if they keep out the woke Identitarian crap.

I love Starship Troopers and Van Dien was perfect as Jonny but he's kind of a shit actor. I think Verhoeven got the best out of him and in his more recent stuff he's better but still not very good. |
