Starship Troopers | Bug Fight In The Desert | Full Scene

5:30 "I've been there and blew it." Learned from experience and made an unpleasant self discovery and didn't ignore it, but followed through on it's logical conclusion at the expense of ego. Including myself, most of us could learn a thing or two from that scene.

absolutely, I'm just here to fight. I don't want to put others in danger from my decisions. Ace was a true one.

True, but eventually Ace is getting promoted, whether he wants it or not. He isn’t going to be a career private.

Ace is such a solid dude. Even though he took a step back for a while, I'm pretty sure he ended up high ranking in deep ST lore.

[@mr4kgamer]

That’s cause that was a mini Nuke they fired into the tunnel.

[@rebekkahdruck1392]

Well, it went underground, too, and with all the minibombs it contained, ALL of that explosive-force, contained by the narrow tunnels, left a LOT of energy needing to be released. On the surface, a great deal of energy is wasted AWAY-from the explosion, upward. Looks awesome, but effectiveness is lessened.

[@gospelofrye6881]

When I saw this at the cinema in 1997, and Rico threw the grenade into the hole he'd just shot in the big bug's exoskeleton, the audience cheered. But by this point I already knew people weren't going to "get" this movie.

That's Verhoeven for ya !!! "Basic Instinct" is HILARIOUS if you don't take it seriously. "Showgirls" has some REALLY-bitter humor to it ( though it's a nasty-movie overall ). And RoboCop is quite the satire -- with a heart.

[@ark1567]

First of all. It is different from the book, I know! But...Only infantry? No mechanized troops? They really think air supremacy is enough? I mean: bugs live undeground, don't they? Yeah, yeah, they didn't have to budget I suppose... But come on! At least transportations...You cannot expect me to belive that soldiers could march under the sun, fully equipped like that and not suffering extreme exaustion at some point. Second. 3:44 how that woman didn't die for shock after THIS! it's beyond my comprehension. Are those soldier all on some kind of futuristic medication that nullify pain? Nope! Forget the question: she clearly screamed in pain...Yep! 3:46 right here! She did. So: how the human body works in this movie? But what do I know? I am not a doctor. Third. 4:00 No please explain me! We just saw that they had rocket launchers and his best strategy was to jump on the damn thing (shell looks pretty slippery by the way, what is under this piravate's booths, glue and nails?), doing a rodeo number, open a breach in the shell and throw a granade inside. I suppose they gave just one rocket to the entire unit... But, why did he blow up the abdomen? WHY?! They did a litteral commercial to say "go for the head" and "even if you destroy part of the body, they are still lethal". After he managed somehow to stay on top of that beetle thing, he attacked the lower body? And somehow, misteriously, that bug that looks way tougher than ordinary aracnid, stopped moving. Wooooohoooo! No! That doesn't make any sense to me sorry. Hollywood...

???? This movie is a parody of the book and its at times, fascist tones

[@ark1567]

@@archer1088 If you say so 🤔...

[@a1marine105]

​@@ark1567 I mean his beetle idea was solid especially since the body was likely where the fire concentration was created and expelled through the head so even if It was still alive it would be harmless especially since it just had its organs violated and regarding its shell I doubt it would be slippery if anything it would he a bit rough with small ridges so that part was fine

[@a1marine105]

Yes that beetle was tougher than a normal arachnid but you need to remember things or mixtures that create fire are often explosive so what do you think happens when you blow up That mixture? You can't do the same to an normal arachnid now can you

[@a1marine105]

Also regarding the rpg I don't think anyone was near where he could get an rpg from so he basically was moving on his feet and don't forget the other soldiers were busy trying to take cover or avoid getting turned into a human rotisserie even then if he wanted an rpg he would have to chase somone down and risk being cooked so I woudnt criticize this seen too hard as there was some logic in it....well at least from this clip

I like how its common knowledge on how to effectively kill an arachnid by shooting directly into its central stem, but no matter what the troopers fire wildly about the creature hitting every where except its weak spot. Literally 300 rounds dumped into one arachnid.

[@Tank50us]

To paraphrase TheChieftain... when you're able to take the first shot, you are usually calm, collected, and able to adjust off your first shot. When a bug swings at you, you're having a significant emotional event, so your counter attack is going to be rushed, and hurried, and accuracy is going out the window.
