The fact the bug was "afraid" was a huge deal. At the time everyone thought the brain bug was the highest in the chain, the fact it was scared would impact all the versions it controls via the hive mind ( again, who they thought ran shit lol)
-
You were actually right. The director specifically stated that he chose a cast of very beautiful young people for specifically this reason.
-
The director absolutely has stated he chose various actors and actresses for the roles because of how conventionally beautiful they were, driving the point that joining will make you a gorgeous hero of the federation just like they are. It’s why all of the military scenes are shown specific ways and the soldiers and commercials up until exactly at the 1 hour mark, which is exactly when they land on Klendathu and the entire tone of the film shifts. Genius work.
-
They wasn’t celebrating Neil Patrick Harris being able to tell the bug was afraid, they were celebrating that they now knew bugs could feel fear.
-
Remember when the teacher said that the bugs have no fear during the dissection scene? That's why Neil Patrick Harris says it's afraid it is really significant. They believed that the bugs couldn't fear humans, which made them a more affective army.
-
The reason why they avoided ground vehicles, if I recall correctly, was because 1. the vibrations would be dead givaways of their positions and that the bugs would swarm or trap the vehicles in ground traps anyway, rendering them inefficient in terms of costs and materials, and 2. the terrains on most bug planets were too bad and hard to maneuver around with ground vehicles. Would you like to know more?

Someone probably said this already, but the line "Come on, you sons-o'-bitches, do you want to live forever?" comes from the battle of Belleau Wood where the Germans had basically just went around French defenses through the woods. Two-time medal of honor awardee Dan Daily yelled the line as he led US Marines into battle against the overwhelming German assault. Just thought it was a cool nod to a real historical event that has taken on mythic proportions in the US Military

My dad took me and my brother to see this in theaters back when I was 12 years old and my brother was 9. The ticket person was like.... are you sure you want to see this movie...? You're kids look young. I loved the movie, my brother as well
-
Starship Troopers sequels? There are no sequels. That's just a collective hallucination. Yes. That movie is amazing and so iconic.
-
So, no Liber-tea?
-
9:49 In the book, this is easily explained by the mobile infantry actually having advanced exosuits that allow them to basically hop around incredibly quickly. My guess is ole Paul just took this and ran with it because having a bunch of extras in costume running around honestly looks more impressive and is probably a lot cheaper.
-
Fun fact about Starship troopers. It's reported that the US military was looking for a new primary assault rifle to equip troops with. A gun specifically was liked very much by the Heckler & Koch company. But the military said something along the lines of " Make it look more like Starship troopers" And this is how we got the Heckler & Koch XM8. Which was never actually adopted by the US military. But is seen a lot in video games. Just another thing that Starship Troopers managed to influence.
-
Just automatically flagging 1 star reviews on weapons for "treason". That's just an awesome way for the game to stay in character I love it
-
The actors were chosen because of their looks. It was too portrait the idealic world it was. That it was perfect.
-
I like how Helldivers 2 got more recognition and player base than the actual Starship Troopers games
-
I like how Michael Ironside's character from Total Recall loses his arms (See you at the party, Richter!). In Starship Troopers, he loses his legs.
-
Ever since I saw SST in middle school circa 2003, I've used "I'm doing my part!" an innumerable amount of times.
-
The instructional video on how to kill a bug (performed in a completely controlled no-risk environment) is a nice ironic commentary on - well - commentary; "Why didn't the characters in these insane life-threatening situations not behave like someone NOT in these insane life-threatening situations?"
-
"Where are all the tanks?" Elvis, it's called the mobile INFANTRY lol
