[QUOTE=TheTalon;36627517]Thanks for posting the CORRECT version of this scene. The one that sounds like a Triple A movie, instead of a B movie[/QUOTE] Because fuck this shit, the original production version was the best. Also, you posting all this shit. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDqU55EkAdQ[/media] HOW COULD YOU FORGET THE MOST FAITHFUL VERSION OF THE FUCKING BOOK!?
[QUOTE=RedNick27;36623933]Thread music: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIGHCoVzqtk[/media] I seriously love special effects before the millenium change, there's just something about them that seem more authentic to me.[/QUOTE] Man, he was such a great composer. fucking rip. Also fuck off hollywood, they're trying to make a reboot of this (not the upcoming CGI movie, another live action one). A less violent reboot, too.

Loved it when I was younger.

I'm joking, the cgi show was good and left off on a cliffhanger with the bugs on earth.
Weren't the Bugs fighting out of self-defense, in both the book and the movie?
[QUOTE=Canuhearme?;36629849]Weren't the Bugs fighting out of self-defense, in both the book and the movie?[/QUOTE] In the movie its never explained. In the book, its never explained. Starship Trooper was more loved because of how much detail he went into describing the robotics, hydraulics and everything else that ran in the Terran Federation.
[QUOTE=postal;36629650]Man, he was such a great composer. fucking rip. Also fuck off hollywood, they're trying to make a reboot of this (not the upcoming CGI movie, another live action one).

[QUOTE=N-12_Aden;36629868]Source on that?[/QUOTE] it's not like you couldn't have just googled it but alright [url]http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=92000[/url] this reboots gonna fucking suck

Don't get me wrong though, anything less violent than the original can screw off.

[QUOTE=Raidyr;36624126]I don't know how they managed to take a great book.[/QUOTE] great book????????
[QUOTE=thisispain;36630262]great book????????[/QUOTE] Anything dealing with power armor is basically from Starshiptroopers. Dropships, drop pods, space battles, fucking jetpacks/jumpjets. Basically, all Military Sci-fis would be boned without SST.
[QUOTE=Swilly;36630271]Anything dealing with power armor is basically from Starshiptroopers. Dropships, drop pods, space battles, fucking jetpacks/jumpjets.

[QUOTE=thisispain;36630304]doesn't change the fact that 75% of the book takes place in a class-room where all the characters say slogans the author came up with.[/QUOTE] Well yeah, many believe its also part of his political manifesto. The characters don't evolve too well, but it does create an interesting universe and each iteration in other forms of media are different.
[QUOTE=TheStateTrooper;36629570]seems like the actual damage of the weapons change in each scene one moment you'll need 5 soldiers to take down 1 bug, and the next it'll take a couple shots to take 1 down[/QUOTE] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faFuaYA-daw#[/media]
[QUOTE=TheStateTrooper;36629570]seems like the actual damage of the weapons change in each scene one moment you'll need 5 soldiers to take down 1 bug, and the next it'll take a couple shots to take 1 down[/QUOTE] Regardless, like 95% of the troops aren't shooting, if they all opened fire they'd go down easy, plus they're the size of fucking vans.

[QUOTE=postal;36629650]Man, he was such a great composer. fucking rip. Also fuck off hollywood, they're trying to make a reboot of this (not the upcoming CGI movie, another live action one). A less violent reboot, too.[/QUOTE] The gore was half the movie. No, that will be absolutely unacceptable. I have to have my realistically horrific super spiders tearing everyone in half.
I think they should have tried milking the story line from the movies into a tv series then a this type of remake.

Jesus they have the worst fucking aim I have ever see.
[QUOTE=Spacewolf;36628183]It kinda blows my mind what a pathetic fight those soldiers put up. They started a full retreat after charging headfirst into a valley full of the enemy without even shooting their fucking guns. One soldier guns down a couple of the bugs single handedly, fire your weapons![/QUOTE] Better yet, use those fucking shotguns they have, that thing tore one of them a new asshole.
[QUOTE=cdr248;36636099]Jesus they have the worst fucking aim I have ever see.[/QUOTE] In Starship Troopers 2 there are times in the intro section where their muzzle flashes go off and they aren't even aiming at anything.
[QUOTE=a-cookie;36624158]Whiskey Outpost is a better scene in my opinion.[/QUOTE] Agreed, but I enjoyed the chaos of navigating the ship through the wreckage in the bombardment scene.
[QUOTE=spekter;36636148]In Starship Troopers 2 there are times in the intro section where their muzzle flashes go off and they aren't even aiming at anything.[/QUOTE] Starship troopers 2 and 3 according to me, and anyone else with a sense of decency are not truly part of the Starship Troopers series. They are too awful.
[QUOTE=Jetblack357;36639990]Starship troopers 2 and 3 according to me, and anyone else with a sense of decency are not truly part of the Starship Troopers series. They are too awful.[/QUOTE] Wasn't the 3rd on relatively good? I mean it holds like an 89 on Rotten tomatoes.
So I'm going to post a pretty cool analysis of the film I found a while ago, seems topical enough. He goes off on a sort of a tangent about multiculturalism at some point but the rest is interesting.

[QUOTE=RG4;36640536]Wasn't the 3rd on relatively good?
