Part of the point of this movie is that the human tactics are utterly stupid. It’s all just infantry with small arms fire. There are no tanks. Air bombardment happens once in the entire movie.

Technically, the Mobile Infantry wouldn't even be fighting on foot: they'd be using flight-capable power armor with an entire suite of weaponry, up to and including low-power nukes. That's the book, though; the director of this movie, I'm pretty sure, never even read the book, he just had someone do it for him and give the cliff notes, on top of the fact that Starship Troopers is a commonly misunderstood story. Instead of it explaining a truly liberal society based on merit, the director made it a tongue-in-cheek satire on fascism, which is the polar opposite of the book.

[@jurajsintaj6644]

​@@LabTech41the director did read the book, but stopped midway because he really disliked it. The movie was at first supposed to something completely different anyway, but had the label of starship troopers slapped on it midway through writing. The director understood the book as potraying a govermental system based on violence and force as functional and even good, and he really disliked that notion due to it being somewhat similarity to nazi germany, which invaded and occupied his country during ww2. So, he made the movie a satire.

I remember as a kid-teen (tween?) I was at my brothers, fell a sleep on their couch and woke up to this and them sleeping. No idea the context, (I woke up 1/4 way through) but, I legit just sat up, and watched the entire film. Didn’t try to change it knowing how, I don’t know why I felt compelled at the time to finish this movie.

[@jusssstteeezzy]

did you like the film?

[@BayaintheRez]

@@jusssstteeezzy yes, I don’t think I even went bathroom through the movie.

[@grrman]

No cap, this genuinely looks like a fun action flick despite how old it is

"Rico! You know what to do." "Yes sir." _Aims his gun_ "No you idiot! I meant pull me back on to the ship!"

They need to make a starship trooper 2 ASAP. I remember watching this movie as a kid. Absolutely loved it!!

[@johnroberts9014]

I'm seeing a lot of well deserved respect for the tower bros in the comments. MVPs of Outpost Whiskey.

[@Rogge73]

Damn, better cgi than much of todays crap!!

[@craigbritz1684]

Mobile Infantry? where's their mortar platoon? Artillery?

[@landanross2966]

They didn’t know bugs were on the planet, they were just investigating why their outpost went quiet

[@Thunderchild-gz4gc]

It's satire written and directed by a lefty

I was 8 when this movie came out. I remember renting it from Blockbuster and this was this first scene to make me feel true impending doom. The second I saw that swarm of bugs outside the fort. God damn, I love this movie!

[@davidmurray5399]

Lifesaver First aid advice, if you have a large foreign object in a wound, don't pull it out, it's plugging the hole.

[@christianresel8051]

Wouldnt have safed her. She was punctured through the heart earlier. Getting that out was irrelevant at that point. ALso her lungs where finished already. Rico survived as all he took was shit through his leg and then was safed MOST LIKELY by Razak himself who then wanted the rest of the Apache's into the Roughnecks (aka Ace, Dizz and Rico)

[@ezflow5819]

Real dudes, leave the guy that got scratched and saave the girl that got stabbed 10 times

[@TheRealBirdmann]

So glad my step dad took us to see this on big screen

Or just play the starship troopers game 😂

The Ministry of Truth might take some issues with certain aspects of this video, but overall, this is a great representation of the forces of Super Earth defending our Managed Democracy!

3:38 when you’re in helldivers and you called for the evacuation.

True love right there. Kissing someone even if they were spitting blood and dying the ugliest death in the entire movie.

[@derrideanoutlook]

So classic, hasn't aged a day

[@EnoTnaived]

One, may be THE best movie i've ever seen on the big screen. Even today this movie is still in my top 5.

[@ReaverLordTonus]

When the destroyer has already left orbit and you're out of stratagems.

My 2 braincells when there are too many bugs on the screen :➡️⬇️⬆️➡️⬇️

"Fire at will!" Will: "Not again.."

[@mrdrebin123]

The fact that they all have 2 of those enormoues nades that clear out 25 meters of anything.. And not one threw it over the wall at the bugs...-_-..

[@konradfoyle]

Keep in mind, the greane blew up like that because it was inside the Tanker's reservoir, which is highly inflammable or combustible.
