So first there was the movie, it was terrible, i loved it, its so bad its good. But did you know that they made more? It seems that there is more to this serries then I origanlly thought. I realized this when i found the second movie, surprisingly there is a third as well, and months later I am discovering that there is a season of a tv show called Roughnecks, it all just keeps getting better and better, if you liked the first one and dont mind putting up with some more classic bad scifi movie then its all worth watching. On top of all of this there was a game as well, enough starship troopers for yah?

The first movie, like you said, was terrible, and greatness at the same time.. Haven't seen any of the other movies but I'm thinking I should check them out! :lol :rock

IMO only the first movie was good rest sucked

I would agree with this statement, the show is worth watching as well

The book was really fantastic. The only thing it was missing was about a thousand more pages. Check it out.
-
I liked the 1st one. The 2nd one had more of a haunted house thing instead of BLOW SOME BUGS. The 3rd was not bad but then again not to good.
-
Haven't seen the second or 4th but the first was terrific. I have the DVD. The 3rd was atrocious. When they start making bugs as big as planets, oh come on!!!

Denise Richards in her prime, jesus she was the girl of my dreams after I watched the first Starship Troopers movie.

I thought she paled in comparison with Dina Meyer. Now there is the only good thing about the movie. Dina Meyers....... sigh. :D

I loved the first one, but not so much with the others.

Loved the first one. The second was really bad. The third was ok in a low-budget cheesy kind of way right up to the point when Jolene Blalock said "I've got religion... I've got it bad!", and they fell to their knees praying. At that point I gagged.

I've read the book several times. What can I say, I'm a Heinlein junky and I like my fix now and then. AFAIK it's still on the Army's Command and General Staff College reading list. Surprised the heck out of me when I saw it there back in 87. That's 1987 you dweebs NOT 1887. I agree that the book needed to be turned into a series. Maybe someone like Webber or Ringo could pick up the idea and run with it. :pray
As for the movies. There has to be a high speed whirring sound at Heinlien's cemetery. He's GOT to be spinning at 25,000 rpm over those movies........... :huh
The first one was bad enough. I didn't see the second one. While channel surfing the other week I saw they had the third movie on. Heck I never knew they did a 3rd one. Oh crap, was that bad. We watched it just to see how bad and predictable it would be. Gag! :uhoh
They FINALLY got to the suits that were an integral part of the book. I suppose I'll have to look for the Roughnecks just to see what they do to it. I'll need some pepto and other anti nausea meds to get through it I bet. :( :uhoh

Sgt Zim or the actor Clancy Brown is from Urbana Ohio the town I live in at present his family owns the local newspaper & his father was a congress man & has a damn named after him in Springfield Ohio. I have met Clancy a few times @ different events here in Urbana. A very nice guy.

My favorite movie. Love em' all. Although it disappoints a bit, i believe they are still worth watching. I've watched the first one more than 100 times, not even joking.

I do sorta belive in the Politico that was going on in the first.

Did you know that there is also a Starship Troopers board game out. (1980s) That is pretty good if you like board games and can get someone to play it with you. IF you can even find it for a good price!

Mobile Infantry does the dying. Fleet just does the flying.
The first movie was great..
I haven't watch the 2nd or 3rd movie, but from the sound of things I shouldn't bother.

She is only known to me as 'The only girl in the movie who didn't show her breasts'..
:cry

I've seen all 3 movies. 1 was grand in its cheesiness, 2 and 3 were pretty lame IMO. At least 3 finally gave them power armor in the last 3 minutes of the freaking movie... :furious
Denise Richards- Yeah, she was pretty spectacular, but so was the chick that played Diz. Couple that with the fact that Charlie Sheen has had his paws all over Denise, and she kinda comes in second place in my book. :(
The TV series was pretty cool though. It was slightly more in line with the book, with most of the political stuff greatly subdued. Explosions and bugs and shooting and stuff.

I'm with Madda. The book was awesome, the movies were fine except the missed the whole point that the book was driving toward (social responsibility, role of the military, coming of age, etc.) Heinlein succinctly and clearly outlined some issues with our society and put forth ideas based on courage and personal integrity.
Turning a work of art like this into inane space opera is a crime that should be covered by penal time. . .

Dear god!!!! There is more then just one season of the show, its like 6 seasons, varrious campaigns, hours of SST for me to watch!!!! :cheers:

I liked the first one, and I couldn't really sit through all of the third one. The 3rd one was just way too cheesy IMHO for me.
