Starship Troopers - John Rico Escape from the bugs Scene (Full HD)

[@therookie7401]

I still love that they got Ricos original actor Casper Van Dien from the 1st movie and 3rd movie to reprise his role in this movie, as he voiced Rico. They even got Dizzys original actor, Dina Meyer from the 1st movie as well, to reprise her role.

[@johnermactavish1162]

Not even remotely close but it's better then useless flak armor and no augments. The power armor from the book was full flight incredibly high speed nuke chucking 1 man continent killers.

[@captmoroni]

@@johnermactavish1162 True. The book even opened with the Mobile Infantry pulling off that Superman leaping from building to building raid. And Rico's suit was shut down remotely in training for him tossing that nuke when surrounded and potentially killing his squadmates.

Helldivers 2 got me like:

[@cadendains8106]

You know, I'm surprised this concept for power armor isn't used more. It's actually a pretty cool thought, with the undersuit being a 'layer' of strength and speed enhancement, like halo, then the extra pieces are really just improving upon the base function while armoring up the soldier, all while being separate pieces so you can mix and match or, like we just saw, scavenge one from a dead soldier if need be.

[@mattbaxter688]

Nice touch that he aims for the weak spots. Also an interesting implication that the guy in the suit before? he died because he didn't leave his team. Clearly that last person could have gotten away. But they died before their ammo ran out.

John "The Immortal" Rico. He survived in the first movie when a bug warrior stabbed his leg, he survived riding a colossal spitfire tank bug, he survived to outpost 29 and he survived to Brain Bug meeting. He survived in the third movie when Roku San base got down, he survived to the hanging. He survived in the first CGI movie and now in this other CGI movie he survived in an extemporary and absurd and way...killing dozens bugs...so bugs try with a plasma bombardment...and he survived again.

[@Aurilion44]

@@arik2216 It's a pretty equal fight in the book. Not even a total war, but just some skirmishes and laying claims to proper planets to colonize. Book's MI are pretty cracked and remain one of the most over the top Power Armor Troops till this day while Arachnids were actually pretty technologically advanced themselves having acces to things like railguns which could put holes in armor, but needed multiple hits to be lethal because of sheer overpen and self-sealing and medical properties of power armor. The number discrepancy was also incredible in their favour. Honestly, that was the main reason they could compete against Federation. Something like 50-100 MIs could fight and win against 200-300k bugs (those losses were nothing for bugs) because of their, well, mobility, ordinance, and orbital support. Even then it was implied both sides heavily respected each other and never went after proper main planets of the other side, only ever trying to take over frontier planets or just ones with simple claim. Those skirmishes were just another form of diplomacy (YES, bugs engaged in it). There were other aliens too (like Skinnies who were shown to be so outmatched it wasn't even funny), but only Federation and Arachnids concerned Rico because NO-ONE else could even come close to those two space nations

Starship Troopers really deserve good reboot in this style much more closer of the actual novel than the satirical movie...

[@udirt]

Problem is that seemingly he wrote it to play with your mind and made you realize that you fell into militarist fascist trap for a while because you believed it would protect democracy (and the characters were believable)... But it seems people have lost a lot of skill for critical thinking, asking critical questions, yes. Outrage, yes. But questioning your own belief, monitoring yourself to notice if your set of values is chancing, being able to work with something that you consider wrong, it seems a problem for a lot. And that goes for "blind incompetent believers" and "righteous zealots" alike.

I know what this movie gets a lot of slack for the story. But for me, this action scene is awesome. I could easily excuse the inconsistencies of Bugs to Rico distance as: missing scenes. Rico could have found some grenades and threw them behind him to put some distance between him and the bugs (Or they initially probably wanted him to use the guns to blow up some damaged suits to put some distance between Rico and the bugs, but they realized that the optics would look bad for Rico because he would look disrespectful of the dead soldiers in the suits instead of looking like a hero)
