Charlie Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 It's on again, featuring Casper Van Dien as Johnny Rico and Eevilmurray (old Halo 2 joke) as Carl Jenkins. Anyone else going to be watching this classic tonight? Anyone up for watching it in a Halo 2 room?
The3rdChildren Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 Might check it out at 10 when I get back from work. This is one of those older movies that still looks better than most special effects films today.
darksnowman Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 I saw this advertised the other week and was hoping to watch it, but Im gonna get me Chrimbo shopping under way tonight. I was aiming to do a quick two hour stint, from six to eight, up the town and be in for the conclusion of Hogfather. So if I overrun the eight pm target... then Hogfather gets watched on multistart... then its over even later than 22:00 and theres even less of Starship Troopers to be watched. A great old film though. The bit with the cow is the stuff of film lore
MoogleViper Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 Is this the one with the giant insects? If so this film is a classic and I advise anybody to watch it.
Platty Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 Yeah I love this film, have it on video somewhere, May tune in. Also I heard there was a 2nd movie? is it any good ?
Ten10 Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 As with most things, the second one is a stinker. but I quite enjoyed this one
MoogleViper Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 As with most things, the second one is a stinker. but I quite enjoyed this one It did have some nice insect boobs though.
Konfucius Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 I have it on DVD at home. One of my favorite films. The whole insect fight and the critics about the army with the FedNet interruptions, the soundtrack, the Ironside, the over the top violence - such a great film. I also read the book and it's very different actually. The film is a lot more provocative actually and the storylines of film and book don't really have much in common. You could say they are both set in the same universe and that's it. But whatever "C'mon you apes, you wanna live forever?"
Noodleman Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 Great film i'll probably watch it although ive seen it many times.
EEVILMURRAY Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 Eevilmurray (old Halo 2 joke) as Carl Jenkins. Even though I don't play Halo 2 I think I remember that period in time. I am actually a little bit psychic methinks.
Fierce_LiNk Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 Ooo, cheers for the heads up, Moria! Will be watching this.
Guest Stefkov Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 This film is awesome. I used to always want to watch it, I still havnt seen the sequal however I'm told its shite.
Platty Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 I forgot how hot Denise Richards looks in this. Gawd damn!
DanielTimothy Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 I'm sure there is a sequal to this, I never got to see it. Any one who has?
Fierce_LiNk Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 I forgot how hot Denise Richards looks in this. Gawd damn! Me too! That other girl ain't bad either. But, my god, Denise should get arrested for being that hot. This film was awesome. I laughed my arse off at that "censored" bit at the end when they probe teh brain.
The3rdChildren Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 I'm sure there is a sequal to this, I never got to see it. Any one who has? I'm told it was absolutely skidnacks, so best to give it a rental or a download?
EEVILMURRAY Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 First = The sex. Second, I've heard it blows goats, but want to watch it anyway. Third? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0844760/ Hmmm...
Meik Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 The second is an awful, awful film. I gave it a rental a few years ago and I seem to remember some (hot) woman being infested by a new type of "controlling" bug, who kills the soldiers in some random outpost one by one. The film seemed to have been done on a budget of a bag of chocolate coins, so there are no epic battles against the bugs.
Guest Stefkov Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 This film was so awesome. I loved how it panned out and there were just masses of bugs. Made me laugh when those little kids were stamping on bugs, and it had text saying do your part.
Konfucius Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 my god, Denise should get arrested for being that hot. Oh yeah, and I know a nice place where to arrest her. Also never watched Starship Troopers 2. I actually had the opportunity but I didn't want to because I heard bad critics and I didn't want it to ruin the first film in my memory. So it's only the awesome Starship Troopers and no shallow sequel.
Fierce_LiNk Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 Made me laugh when those little kids were stamping on bugs, and it had text saying do your part. The bit that always makes me laugh is the Mother (or just random woman) who laughs like a maniac as the kids stomp the bugs. "aaaaahahahahahahahahaha!"
somme Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 Love it. Second was shite. Let's hope the third is gonna be good.
Zombie_Fan Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 I remember the first time I rented this movie. It has some nice boob shots, and a good amount of gore.
Charlie Posted December 21, 2006 Author Posted December 21, 2006 The bit that always makes me laugh is the Mother (or just random woman) who laughs like a maniac as the kids stomp the bugs. "aaaaahahahahahahahahaha!" Haha, my sister and I were laughing about that when it came on a couple of nights ago.
Platty Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 Ok so I have watched starship troopers 2... it was ok, no where near as good as the first. One thing I did notice tho.. the female sergeant is played by the same actress who was the captain of the roger young in the first film. If it's not her then blimey it's her twin sister!! Whats that all about eh ?
