As a former exterminator I can honestly say that I would play this on the way to take on a yellow jacket nest in September. I remembered my training. I made it back alive.
They weren't in a formal state of war until Buenos Aires was space rocked. The Mobile Infantry until that time was mainly intended for human-to-human combat, which can be inferred from all their training being against human opponents and their weapons and tactics being comically ineffective against the bugs.
It was seriously funny how ineffective they were. I love the movie but all the way through I was wondering why they didn't just nuke the bug planets to kingdom come in the first place; turn them into barren, lifeless rocks where any surviving bugs will just wither and die.Apart from the fact that the movie would have been over in 40 minutes, I mean lol.

“We’re going in with first wave, means more bugs for us to kill....” Commissar in the 41st Millenium addressing Elysian Drop Troopers who are about to assault a Tyranid held planet.
@@HrHaakon not necessarily, sure if the entire planet was Tyranid control -exterminatus it, but if they're still fighting dropping to undercut the swarm might be viable
The battle scene is SO UNDERRATED. started off like a typical war movie "great soundtrack, the troopers ready to kick some ass, great battle quotes" then the battle stopped being like a war movie and become like reality.. the music stops, you hear the sounds of soldiers dying, the "lets kick some ass" becomes "lets get the fuck out of here".
@Fungo Slungo I think it’s explained as them not believing the bugs would be _that_ well prepared for them, which I call bullshit on. You capture the drones and see how piss-scary they can be in open combat, yet when it comes time to invade the planet the _last_ thing you consider is bringing in the heavy artillery? Christ, the federation was fucking stupid for that one
@@TheCorrodedMan It wasn't completely stupid. At the strategic level yes, but at the ideological level, the tragedy of Buenos Aires and this monumental defeat contribute to dematerialize the conflict. The (factual) loss of life and the cost of war becomes immeasurable, but the symbolic wound deepens. War is no longer a rational matter, virtually open to debate, but a passionate one, a burning hate and a deep love of that hate. It should be remembered that, from the point of view of the Federation (as a sociopolitical agenda), citizen mobilization is the supreme issue, well above (without erasing it) military successes.
When I was little, I thought this was one of my favorite movies to watch. Now that I'm adult it is still one of my all time favorites. And this music is something they don't make anymore
I loved this movie as a kid. I remember playing with army men and other toys and when my dad asked why some of them were broken or torn apart I would just say it was the bugs that got em. This movie is a great one. The music is a masterpiece.
I'm the same. I also aligned with the characters thinking as a child in terms of the practicality of fascism, as I've become more older I've realised this film is a critique, yet also a masterpiece. Better than Godfather IMO
One of the best ever sci fi flicks. Given the source material is basically fascist propaganda, the film adapted it whilst ruthlessly mocking it. P.S. Robert Heinlein, the author, was a US Marine Corps officer. The Bugs are basically the Chinese and North Koreans. Whilst Chinese and Korean communism are awful, Heinlein seemingly believed that only a fascist state could defeat the Soviet Union and its communist allies. He was very wrong. Democratic systems did just fine. P.P.S. Heinlein seemingly believed the same thing as Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels who delivered a speech late in WWII. He believed that if Nazi Germany was going go be overrun by Stalin, it’d only be a matter of time before the weak, decadent democratic West was also crushed by Stalin and the Soviet Union. In the end it turned out the “weak decadent democratic West” was much stronger than the Soviet Union or Nazi Germany and won the Cold War. Both Hitler and Stalin were no match for Western democracy.
@@MrMuel1205 neither the book nor Heinlein were fascist, his ideal system of government was libertarian collectivism. One of the key points of the book is recognising that the act of voting is an act of oppression, by voting the majority is enforcing its will onto the minority. The purpose of national service (which is not limited to military service in the book) is to show that you are willing to be subjected to the same oppression that you want to be allowed to subject others to. Anyone who wants to be able to vote is able to, no matter how incapable you are the state will find some work that you can do so that you can complete your national service. The director of the film had not read the book so the film is a very loose adaptation which doesn't match the politics of the book.
@@Spazturtle he specifically talks about how responsibility and rights must be balanced. One cannot have the right to vote and do it thoughtfully and effectively without understanding the responsibility behind voting.
Paul Verhoeven said that sci-fi was far from being his favourite movie genre, and yet he gave us three of the most iconic sci fi movies of recent history: - Robocop - Total Recall - Starship Troopers
And it is because he approached the scifi as a cosmetic thing. A very good one, but the heart of those films was a deep criticism of society. Robocop is about the corporatization of public entities, including the police. Total Recall was about corporate exploitation of foreign lands and what it does to the local population and Starship Troopers was about criticizing a fascist society completely out of touch with the realities of war.
@@StoneyHoliday Arguably, sci-fi started with political messages and criticism of society, which is why his movie's work so well since they do fit the genre
"We are going in with first wave! Means more bugs for us to kill! You smash the entire area, you kill anything with more than two legs! YOU GET ME?!?!"
We must meet this threat with our courage, our valor, indeed with our very lives to ensure that human civilization, not beliebers, dominates this galaxy *now and always*!
Well, awards don't matter. Poledouris's music is among the most replayed and enjoyed movie themes out there. Same for his work on the Conan the Barbarian themes.
You think that's puzzling? Basil Poledouris never got nominated for an Oscar. As for this movie, it came out the same year as Titanic, which has the best-selling film score of all time as well as the 35th best-selling album regardless of genre.
He purposely made a satire and the critics of the time were too stupid and the entire movie went completely over their heads. Because they thought fascism was impossible. I dare anyone to watch this now after the Trump era.
@@StoneyHoliday spoiled American who doesn't know what true fac. Is. Typical calling everyone they dislike Naz. Then wonder why everyone hates their liberals
Alas the director did not realize that militarism and nationalism does not necessarily equal fascism. Starship Troopers does work as a satire of the U.S. during WW II, especially as it concerns the Pacific War.
Is it possible to be emotionally overwhelmed by awesomeness? I know the whole moment of destiny thing gets turned on its head not long after, but still, I cried when I first watched the landing scene. I've never cried tears of awesomeness before, but Starship Troopers introduced me to such a concept.
We must meet this threat with our courage, our valor, indeed with our very lives. To ensure that human civilization, not insect, dominates this galaxy now and always
By my faith, may the light of the Emperor spread to the farthest star. By my duty, the galaxy will belong to the righteous! By my actions, the Imperial Navy shall be honored, and remembered upon Holy Terra! For the Emperor of Mankind, AND FOR THE BATTLEFLEET GOTHIC!
+Sanctimoniously The Federation forces were in trouble until Mr. Williams drove out of that drop ship in his Trans Am and splattered all the bugs on his windshield. Fortunately he had lots of wiper fluid, and ammo.
We are going in with first wave. Means more bugs for us to kill. You smash the entire area. You kill anything that has more than two legs. You get me?!
I once had a big spider in the ceiling of my room, and I should've played this Starship Troopers music while using the vacuum cleaner to get rid of that fucker, but instead I listened to "Ghostbusters" LOL next time, perhaps.
I played this when I went under my house to deal with an ant invasion. Killed everything with more than two legs. I remembered my training and came back alive.
Read the book and you'll see what the story is really about. This is probably one of the worst adaptations of a book. The director of the movie didn't even read the book and based his adaptation on second hand accounts. Specifically second hand accounts of someone who appeared to have not understood the essence of the ideas presented in the book.
@@ZealotOfSteal he purposely did something different, that doesn't mean he's stupid. Shining is also very different from the book and it's still a masterpiece
@@XElhirrimX Never said he's stupid and while there are many things to criticize the movie on, it's still a good movie and I really like it. My problem is the director of an adaptation didn't even read the source material. He didn't even try to understand what it was about and it's a shame, because I think a movie actually based on the book would be pretty fucking awesome.
This was my favorite movie ever while growing up, Still is easily top 2. Ironically as soon as i got to college, i met the kid who's uncle wrote this film and the remaining starship troopers (although if you ask me the only good one was the original).. Which was unbelievable. he was from across the country and the odds of me meeting someone who's uncle wrote my favorite movie ever are astronomical. Of course since it was my favorite film, i was skeptical. He showed me several copies of the film signed, proved the last names were coherent, and showed me a screenplay of it. It was glorious. Ooh Rah Starship Troopers!
The movie is based (loosely) on a science fiction novel of the same name, by Robert Heinlein. It's good reading; I enjoyed the book when I was young and the movie when I was older.
MarcellusTheGreen but really just borrows the name of the book and some characters, they are nothing alike; the film is pure Paul Verhoeven tough, full of satire and dark humor.
like the movie and I agree first was the best others were... not as good due to them being cgi instead of those effects from the first, and wtf is with those guns in 3 they are bulky as fuck! I wouldn't want to haul ass with that! I would still use the morrita from 1
talons claw The bugs in Starship Troopers 1 were pure CGI as well, although I agree, it's amazing how much lower quality the CGI was in the latter two; couldn't they at least just use the same models? I'm presuming they owned the rights to them.
Jonathan Kozenko Production budget, sadly. The first was a major movie release with a budget to match while the follow up films didn't enjoy the support. A crying shame, really. That, and it all spun off the rails with that god BS.
This is the song that plays in my head when me and the boys drop onto Angel’s Venture to squash the bug menace and spread liberty, freedom, and Managed Democracy
Almost every modern version of futuristic soldiers, such as "Space Marines" or "Orbital Drop Shock Troopers" trace their roots to Starship Troopers. The concept of putting on a suit of power armor capable of hugging a gorilla to death, with nuclear rockets mounted on your shoulders, then literally dropping into battle from orbit onto an alien world was completely new when the book was written in the fifties. I'm sure the sheer scope and intensity simply blew people away back then. I grew up with Star Wars, and I was still blown away the first time I read it. FOR THE EVERLASTING GLORY OF THE INFANTRY!
EllasFTW If you regard fascism as the natural state of human society that is. The book is fascist, but the film is a pretty tongue in cheek satire of fascism, as was Robocop, another Verhoeven film.
When I was little and I saw this movie I thought it was amazing, today at 28 I see this movie again and I think it's even more amazing, a movie ahead of its time
I remember when I saw it first time in 90`s in cinema. I went with friend for first screening and when it finished we were out, than again in, paid once again the second screening.
First watched this movie when i was 6 years old - im 30 now, still an absolute masterpeice, thankyou Grandad for introducing me to this movie, my best childhood movie ever.
This soundtrack is so goddamn awesome you forget it's the soundtrack to one of the most epic military failiures in movie history. But then, that's the point.
The fact that music real similar to this plays when rushing back to the transport in Extermination is quite appropriate and never fails to make me feel pride in the Federation and always leaves me wanting to know more.
Just realized the double meaning of this phrase. On one hand, it is better to die for the federation than to live for yourself. On the other, the heroes of war will be immortalized in history.
I believe this quote is actually attributed to a nameless world war 1 sergeant before another expedition out of the trench to try to make it to the next rat infested trench 100 meters away
This quote has been attributed to Sergeant Major Daniel Joseph "Dan" Daly a Irish American soldier in World War 1. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Daly Of course it should be noted that there are conflicted reports on exactly who said it, but Daly is the one who got the credit in the end.
so if they didnt come back alive, how the fucking hell those 76 could have hit the dislike button? There must be other unkown bugs....WANT TO KNOW MORE?
Is it a coincidence that three of my favourite films (Conan the barbarian, Robocop and Starship Troopers) all have their main musical scores written by Basil Poledouris?
Remember, bugs don't believe in Democracy.

weird thing about that scene is that Insects don't have hands, so it was still an exercise in futility.
They weren't at war with the bugs at that point. They were training to fight other humans.
No, they were at war with the bugs throughout the movie, they even dissect drones in class and talk about how to kill them properly.
They weren't in a formal state of war until Buenos Aires was space rocked. The Mobile Infantry until that time was mainly intended for human-to-human combat, which can be inferred from all their training being against human opponents and their weapons and tactics being comically ineffective against the bugs.

He purposely made a satire and the critics of the time were too stupid and the entire movie went completely over their heads. Because they thought fascism was impossible. I dare anyone to watch this now after the Trump era.
@@StoneyHoliday Trump wasn’t a fasci…
@@StoneyHoliday spoiled American who doesn't know what true fac. Is. Typical calling everyone they dislike Naz. Then wonder why everyone hates their liberals
Alas the director did not realize that militarism and nationalism does not necessarily equal fascism. Starship Troopers does work as a satire of the U.S. during WW II, especially as it concerns the Pacific War.
Glory to Super-Earth

Everyone writes a quote from the movie, no one quits!

Is it possible to be emotionally overwhelmed by awesomeness? I know the whole moment of destiny thing gets turned on its head not long after, but still, I cried when I first watched the landing scene. I've never cried tears of awesomeness before, but Starship Troopers introduced me to such a concept.
We must meet this threat with our courage, our valor, indeed with our

Brian Williams played this track when he went on the actual Klendathu drop.

Reviresco Brian Williams remembered his training, and he made it back alive.
Sanctimoniously He was there you know.
Sanctimoniously lol
+Sanctimoniously The Federation forces were in trouble until Mr. Williams drove out of that drop ship in his Trans Am and splattered all the bugs on his windshield. Fortunately he had lots of wiper fluid, and ammo.

I once had a big spider in the ceiling of my room, and I should've played this Starship Troopers music while using the vacuum cleaner to get rid of that fucker, but instead I listened to "Ghostbusters" LOL next time, perhaps.

He forgot the first rule of officer training, hide behind the grunts.
I played this when I went under my house to deal with an ant invasion. Killed everything with more than two legs. I remembered my training and came back alive.
🤣
to think there are people out there on twitter still being offended about this masterpiece
There aren't you dumbass. It's people getting mad at illiterate idiots that don't understand this movie is a satire of fascism.
I loved the action as a kid, I love the satire as an adult.

Read the book and you'll see what the story is really about.
This is probably one of the worst adaptations of a book.
The director of the movie didn't even read the book and based his adaptation on second hand accounts.
Specifically second hand accounts of someone who appeared to have not understood the essence of the ideas presented in the book.
@@ZealotOfSteal he purposely did something different, that doesn't mean he's stupid. Shining is also very different from the book and it's still a masterpiece
@@XElhirrimX
Never said he's stupid and while there are many things to criticize the movie on, it's still a good movie and I really like it.
My problem is the director of an adaptation didn't even read the source material.
He didn't even try to understand what it was about and it's a shame, because I think a movie actually based on the book would be pretty fucking awesome.

This was my favorite movie ever while growing up, Still is easily top 2.
Ironically as soon as i got to college, i met the kid who's uncle wrote this film and the remaining starship troopers (although if you ask me the only good one was the original).. Which was unbelievable. he was from across the country and the odds of me meeting someone who's uncle wrote my favorite movie ever are astronomical.
Of course since it was my favorite film, i was skeptical. He showed me several copies of the film signed, proved the last names were coherent, and showed me a screenplay of it. It was glorious.
Ooh Rah Starship Troopers!
The movie is based (loosely) on a science fiction novel of the same name, by Robert Heinlein. It's good reading; I enjoyed the book when I was young and the movie when I was older.
MarcellusTheGreen but really just borrows the name of the book and some characters, they are nothing alike; the film is pure Paul Verhoeven tough, full of satire and dark humor.
like the movie and I agree first was the best others were... not as good due to them being cgi instead of those effects from the first, and wtf is with those guns in 3 they are bulky as fuck! I wouldn't want to haul ass with that! I would still use the morrita from 1
talons claw The bugs in Starship Troopers 1 were pure CGI as well, although I agree, it's amazing how much lower quality the CGI was in the latter two; couldn't they at least just use the same models? I'm presuming they owned the rights to them.
Jonathan Kozenko Production budget, sadly. The first was a major movie release with a budget to match while the follow up films didn't enjoy the support. A crying shame, really. That, and it all spun off the rails with that god BS.

Almost every modern version of futuristic soldiers, such as "Space Marines" or "Orbital Drop Shock Troopers" trace their roots to Starship Troopers. The concept of putting on a suit of power armor capable of hugging a gorilla to death, with nuclear rockets mounted on your shoulders, then literally dropping into battle from orbit onto an alien world was completely new when the book was written in the fifties. I'm sure the sheer scope and intensity simply blew people away back then. I grew up with Star Wars, and I was still blown away the first time I read it. FOR THE EVERLASTING GLORY OF THE INFANTRY!
FOR THE EMPEROR!
40Κ is a bit Older :) in the 80s i think.Anyway both stories.Describe humanity as it supposed to be United,powerfull and CONQUERING :D
EllasFTW 40K is older than the movie, yes. However, I was referencing the book which was written in 1959.
LET'S KILL SOME BUGS!
EllasFTW If you regard fascism as the natural state of human society that is. The book is fascist, but the film is a pretty tongue in cheek satire of fascism, as was Robocop, another Verhoeven film.

True
Lack of mobile infantry power armor is the only sticking point for me.
Absolutely but thankfully with the help of UA-cam it’s brilliance is finally being found by the masses.
@@nil981 they brought them in the third movie, that albeit having worse quality for many things, was not as bad as it might seem

The fact that music real similar to this plays when rushing back to the transport in Extermination is quite appropriate and never fails to make me feel pride in the Federation and always leaves me wanting to know more.
It’s really frustrating they don’t have the actual score on that game, otherwise it would be perfect! Really annoys me that the music is slightly off!
COME ON, YOU APES. DO YOU WANNA LIVE FOREVER?

Just realized the double meaning of this phrase. On one hand, it is better to die for the federation than to live for yourself. On the other, the heroes of war will be immortalized in history.
I believe this quote is actually attributed to a nameless world war 1 sergeant before another expedition out of the trench to try to make it to the next rat infested trench 100 meters away
This quote has been attributed to Sergeant Major Daniel Joseph "Dan" Daly a Irish American soldier in World War 1.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Daly
Of course it should be noted that there are conflicted reports on exactly who said it, but Daly is the one who got the credit in the end.
76 people didn't remember their training and didn't come back alive.
anticomuna And we shot 'em ousrselves!
so if they didnt come back alive, how the fucking hell those 76 could have hit the dislike button? There must be other unkown bugs....WANT TO KNOW MORE?

Is it a coincidence that three of my favourite films (Conan the barbarian, Robocop and Starship Troopers) all have their main musical scores written by Basil Poledouris?
Same here. The guy was a fucking prophecy.
me too.
coindidence ? i think not !
Paul Verhoeven and Basil Poledouris is like bread and butter.
não mesmo e magnetica ,, not realy .. magnetic music..
lifeforce have epic theme too.
