Starship Troopers (1997)
Starship Troopers Quote: “I expect the best and I give the best. Here’s the beer. Here’s the entertainment. Now have fun. That’s an order!” – Jean Rasczak
All hands on deck Set in the future, the story follows a young soldier named Johnny Rico and his exploits in the Mobile Infantry. Paul Verhoeven’s “Starship Troopers” mixes fun, smarts, action, sex and satire into a star-studded sci-fi package.
However a lot of people mistook it for cheeseball macho fluff. Let’s relive the terrifying Arachnids, quotable one-liners, Nazi-influenced propaganda pieces and — of course — the infamous co-ed shower scene.

Love the reviews, as a forward.
But OH MY GOD! how did Big D never read the book. It’s actually on the recommended reading list for Marine Corps NCO’s. The BOOK, NOT The movie.
I enjoyed the movie, and it was meant as “satire” but really nothing more than anti-US war propaganda, while portraying service as propaganda. I knew that and still enjoyed the movie because I saw it as farce, that and Casper Van Dean.
