I remember being a kid ~10 years old and watching this in the theaters and coming home afterwards totally psyched. As soon as I got the VHS, myself and friends built my living room into a "Whiskey Outpost" and had out last stand against endless waves of bugs. Call time out to rewind the vhs and start it over again. Ahh the good memories hahaha
conscripts? Who the hells a conscript? Literally every single citizen is a volunteer in SST and we don't have conscripts in my country. All volunteer force. Found the anti-military manlet!
Well, to be more precise about Warhammer 40K resembling SST: The novel of SST was an inspiration for Games Workshop to base their 'Tyranids' race upon, because the SST novel from the year 1959 existed before the Tyranids were even created (first genestealers appeared in Space Hulk in the 1980's and warriors in 1990). Then Paul Verhoeven based his Arachnids for the SST movie on the appearance of the early Tyranids, but perfected them. So in the end they all stole it from eachother and vise versa!
Excellent! Ever since I first saw the movie, I've found this music to be one of the best massive-battle songs ever. It could go just as well with ground or space battles.
This piece is the most heroic & epic theme ever made!! Even Hans Zimmer can't stand up to this and he has done some extraordinary soundtracks too (The Rock, The Last Samurai, for example). This theme would make an excellent intro for a heavy metal -band! In fact, Nile used a part of this theme as a prelude when they were doing gig at Lutakko (Finland) few years back, it was awesome!!
You did an excellent job with this video; you polished the song to the point that I realize what we are missing is more instruments in the orchestra. This could be a much more complex piece; I think you did a much better job than the original version in bringing out the subtle complexities of this AWESOME piece.
ALL HAIL STARSHIP TROOPERS THERE IS NO BETTER MOVIE THERE IS NO BETTER MUSIC THERE IS NO BETTER SOLDIERS! great job m8 this reminds me the first time i saw it and i whas only 6.
The title of the book is 'Starship Troopers.' It's about life in the armed forces of the future, with heavy politicle overtones. It's a very good book. Read it sometime.
God or world forbidd I ever have to go to war... But shall that day come, hopefully I'll be fighting really bad men or beings... And this Theme shall blast in my headphones underneath my helmet as I rip my way thru the battlefield... Til they shoot me down or I stand tall in blood... Awesome theme!
i think 2 was really weird. didnt really feel like SST to me. tho the special effects were badass in 2. to me 3 kinda got it right but still no where near the first one. also so i heard that they might revamp the series so yea. but if Casper is not playing Rico i'm not that excited.
The book Starship Trooper was wirtten in the 1960's I think and featured the troopers in big suits of powered armour, the first instance of a now iconic sci-fi technology I think and the bugs were an actual intlligent space faring aline race, rather than a vast swarm of killer termites
"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?"
@thatamazinggeek I thought they colonized other planets already... And the reason for no nukes is simple: we wanted the bug territories for ourselves. In this movie series, the humans were somewhat imperialist, which is why the bugs ended up fighting us at all. It's only when they got out of control beyond conventional armed containment (the most ready, cheapest solution) that we started using WMDs against them.
Torch, read the book! It's still available. The author is Robert A. Heinlein. It was printed back in the late '50's. (Or early '60's). The book makes you think. =Stefan=
Great vid! I unfortunately only have seen Starship Troopers 2 all the way through, it has very little to do with the Book, game, and first movie...As far as I can tell anyway. perhaps I should borrow the book out of the local library or find our old VHS of the movie.
@thatamazinggeek if im not mistaken, they and the dozen other bug species encountered during the war were explained as biological engineering to fit the needs of the bug war machine. Movies kinda messed it up by nor digging deep enough into the bug's organization. but they occupied dozens of planets for food, fuel and new genetic profiles to use.
Thats why its the perfect song to add to your 40k game playlist like I did. Everything by Basil Poledouris is great for 40k music, including his red october theme and the conan soundtrack... just not quigly down under.
what do you mean :P I didn't lie in the title if that's what you mean, it IS extended, the original theme is only half of this + it's a little bit mixed too cause i added some more treble and bass and extra beats somewhere in the end,but that's for you to find out.
If you have not read the book do so NOW!!! Otherwise your missing out, and by the way the only reason games such as Halo, Crysis, and fallout exist are because of this book!
I'm not talking about *REAL* powered armour suits, I'm talking about props/costumes for making a movie. If you're talking about a physical prop like the power loader from Aliens, they could do that because they only had two of them, used for just two scenes. This would require dozens, if not hundreds of suits, used for dozens of scenes. Building all of those large scale props would just not be practical, so they were dropped from the movies, purely on that basis.
wagner,so you learned to drive? What an accomplishment! I was 16 when I learned. I shot my first weapon at 10. My father was partial of the .45. So am I. "Nothing Much"?? Firing the weapon is nothing much. Anyone can squeeze a trigger. The skill is in hitting what you aim at. I am 54. I still have a 1/2 grouping at 30 yards. With the .45. And I don't use a match grade weapon. Give me the 1911A1, anyday. =Stefan=
@jonnathan002 it's more complicated. WH40k was mainly influenced by Dune and stuff that carried over from WHFB & modified creatively for sci-fi setting. The Tyranids were added as the extra faction. SC was more directly influenced by Aliens, which was in turn influenced by Starship Troopers. The Protoss were added as 3rd faction. No direct link between SC and WH40k. ... I agree, Starship Troopers was the first, and the most classic :) Robert. A. Heinlein was a brilliant author.
Bost0082 - While correct writing is the mark of an educated man, incorrect writing does not make an argument erroneous, other things do. It simply denotes lack of care, or not knowing what the heck a spell checker is. It CAN denote lack of thought put into the argument (Usually you examine your own arguments to check their coherence), however it does not make the argument itself incorrect. Yes, I'm a nitpick.
Actually that would be cool, seeing the Arachnids and the MI rendered with Killzone 2's graphics level. If the story and weapons were good...it would be an excellent game,indeed. Shame no ones working on a starship troopers FPS for the consoles at the moment though.
Great Video! Starship Troopers 4ever! 2nd and 3rd film was a mistake;) FPS was good for relax after work when i was in the mood for: kill'em! kill'em all! ;) The best game was Starship Troopers: Terran Ascendancy (rts from 2000 year) I still have a cd and i still play this game:) (sorry for my English btw)

Cory Stewart sounds like some awesome stuff \m/
Yep, you can't do it without soundtrack XD
this should be the main song of the new U.S Space Corps
Starship Troopers is my second favorite Sci Fi movie along side Aliens
this could be my 5th favorite sci-fi movie
Starship Troopers, Aliens, and Star wars are my favorite movie series ever!
*high five*
me too
Damn, I wish I would've read your warning label before I enlisted into the Federation Mobile Infantry.
Every time I listen to this, I just want to go outside and hose down an anthill.
only a good bug is a dead bug!
spray bottle with gasoline
Use niyro glycerin, just like the mini nukes!
That's fucking hilarious!
This movie is partly responsible for me enlisting in the infantry
snipeefox Using your body as a meatshield! CONSCRIPTS HERE WE GO!!! HOORAH!!!!
conscripts? Who the hells a conscript? Literally every single citizen is a volunteer in SST and we don't have conscripts in my country. All volunteer force.
Found the anti-military manlet!
It's a reference to 40k I think. Not meant as contextual within SST or real life.
Service guarantees citizenship!
Would you like to know more?
"Watkins you trying to be a hero!?"
Playing this while playing xcom enemy unknown
The BEST version!
"Come on you ape!, do you want to live forever"
- johnny rico
Best movie ever. Masterpiece!
it's a really good movie but not a really big masterpiece for me
Rally your forces to this theme, and you will be victorious against all odds. Love it

Thats exactly what i say when i tell my friends this movie has everything XD

Dreamon - The Belgian Waffle oh did u like my new cannel name?
I don't know what the LLA means though :p

This music is the very definition of exterminating bugs.
Great job man, loved this movie back in the day, keep up the good work, cheers.
2018 and I still find this theme so heroic
It's rare that a man can admit his mistakes. I salute you. On an awesome ST theme.
Man you did an awesome job on this video.
I read the book in the early '60's (Robert Heinlein) and I joined the Mobile Infantry (Paratroopers) and fought the bugs(VC).
"We're going back to Pee." I mean P.
One of the best Sci Fi films ever!!!!
This is the best Sci Fi film, i remember the first time I watched it when I was 8 and fell in love with it.
First one is the best for me. Favorite part is when their commencing their first offensive and the dropships are just coming down from the sky. EPIC.
Excellent! Ever since I first saw the movie, I've found this music to be one of the best massive-battle songs ever. It could go just as well with ground or space battles.
ah... I used to watch this movie all the time when I was young, I liked it so much, Good times... good times....
This piece is the most heroic & epic theme ever made!! Even Hans Zimmer can't stand up to this and he has done some extraordinary soundtracks too (The Rock, The Last Samurai, for example).

The strings in this piece or absolutely sick.
congrat's to 36 year's, im 17 and my longest relationship was 8 month's lol, well i hope u and ur wife are happy for many more years to come

Sweet. Good work the way you extended the music seamlessly.
Epic sync between the music and scenes
THX FOR THE GREAT REPLIES SO FAR, hope you'll like my other movies too, this video is actually my tribute to the best stand alone sci-fi movie around.
The mobile infantry is brave enough but they need better weapons, body armor, tactics, battle plans and on and on and on.
really great video,one of the best SST videos i've ever seen ! fav it 4 ever :X
Ultimate thanks and respect to your service and word play.
first movie rules! the sequels were bollocks.
Great soundtrack :D It gives me the feeling of going outside squishing some bugs! ;D TYVM for upload
Thank god, a properly educated person who understands. . .
i seriously hate it when people try to put there opinion off as fact, surley you agree?
" COME ON YOU APES! YOU WANNA LIVE FOREVER1" Classic Battle cry used in WW 1 by D. Daly- twice awarded the Medal of Honor
GOOD GOD MAN I NEVER THORT ABOUT THAT, your a genius!!!

great job m8 this reminds me the first time i saw it and i whas only 6.

nice job man...
i love this movie...
Thank you for this. I'll put ST3 on my xmas list.
just love this movie.... and part 3 is coming!!!
I get goosebumps when I hear this song.. Oh the memories.
I love starshiptroopers1!!! And this theme is sooo awesome! ^^
God or world forbidd I ever have to go to war... But shall that day come, hopefully I'll be fighting really bad men or beings... And this Theme shall blast in my headphones underneath my helmet as I rip my way thru the battlefield...
Til they shoot me down or I stand tall in blood...
Awesome theme!
goddamnit I LOVED the custom map based on this movie.
For fuck's sake this is awesome and takes me straight back to the late 90's.
The Starship Trooper RTS was the first game released shortly after the movie(within a few months)
EXCELLENT WORK ON VID!
i think 2 was really weird. didnt really feel like SST to me. tho the special effects were badass in 2. to me 3 kinda got it right but still no where near the first one. also so i heard that they might revamp the series so yea. but if Casper is not playing Rico i'm not that excited.
The book Starship Trooper was wirtten in the 1960's I think and featured the troopers in big suits of powered armour, the first instance of a now iconic sci-fi technology I think and the bugs were an actual intlligent space faring aline race, rather than a vast swarm of killer termites
@bloodbathfan There were several "use map settings" custom maps that were RPGs based on starship troopers, I remember them being quite fun.
We have one of their brains now....pretty soon we'll know how they think.
yeah in my opinion starship troopers was one of the great classic sci fi's. and yet some people think it was a parody!!!
@nemysisNED Both Paul Verhoeven and Basil Poledouris worked in Robocop and Starship Troopers
@bloodbathfan
I remember watching this movie and going to play Starcraft afterwards.
Good times...
"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?"
"We get you Sir!!!!"
when u get down on that rock u kill evriting that has more then 2 legs anderstod!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh ra!!!!!!!!
Dang I just got goosebumps 😳

me too! when i was 6 i saw it first! its so cool!
Your quotes contain more fiction than Heinlein's greatest works.
One of the greatest movies ever!!! - I wanna join the Mobile Infantry now...go the rouge necks
Great vid! I unfortunately only have seen Starship Troopers 2 all the way through, it has very little to do with the Book, game, and first movie...As far as I can tell anyway. perhaps I should borrow the book out of the local library or find our old VHS of the movie.

Yeah, you have to love Hell's Half Acre in Wyoming. Watched them film it there
what do you mean :P I didn't lie in the title if that's what you mean, it IS extended, the original theme is only half of this + it's a little bit mixed too cause i added some more treble and bass and extra beats somewhere in the end,but that's for you to find out.
There's no doubt about it, this is Basil Poledouris.
Love the song. I think this would be better if it only had movie clips though.
"MI does the dyin, fleet just does the flyin"- Lt Rico
MI ALL THE WAY! DEATH FROM ABOVE!
video with the scenes of the film and the game...good idea,i like this movie.
Come on you apes, you wanna' live forever?!
the best theme to a film and the best film ever made fucking amazing film :D
amazing
We get you sir
Some great times :)
"im just trying to kill sum bugs. . ."
XD so cheesy, but still so right
George, stupid question. And here is my answer, YES!!! =Stefan=
If you have not read the book do so NOW!!!
Otherwise your missing out, and by the way the only reason games such as Halo, Crysis, and fallout exist are because of this book!
I had my walkman on shuffle and this came up just as I was using raid to kill a spider infestation. god smiled upon my actions!
wagner, you show your true colors. =Stefan=
fucking awesome best movie ever and best song ever composed for a movie
I'm not talking about *REAL* powered armour suits, I'm talking about props/costumes for making a movie. If you're talking about a physical prop like the power loader from Aliens, they could do that because they only had two of them, used for just two scenes.

Building all of those large scale props would just not be practical, so they were dropped from the movies, purely on that basis.
@itonas13 As I recall, it also created another now classic sci-fi trope, Powered Armour

oh yes!!! i love the plot!
oh yes. i love it!
@jonnathan002
it's more complicated.

Robert. A. Heinlein was a brilliant author.
Sadly it will release in spring 2008 on DVD. But it will be much better than part 2!!!!

Sorry, F84.You are totally right. Rapgeezer just pissed me off. Basill's music is fantastic!!I actually met him. =Stefan=
Great Video!

2nd and 3rd film was a mistake;)
FPS was good for relax after work when i was in the mood for: kill'em! kill'em all! ;)
The best game was Starship Troopers: Terran Ascendancy (rts from 2000 year) I still have a cd and i still play this game:)
(sorry for my English btw)
Good for you, mobile infantry got me to be the man i am today!
