Starship Troopers thread

[Shuvo]

Woah woah, their was a second Starship Troopers!? And now a third? Holy shit O_o

I never saw it advertized ever... was it a straight to DVD?

Book was best.


Second movie was terrible. Friends and I watched it for "bad movie night" (wherein we make fun of the movie MST3k style) and were entertained though.

Third was straight to DVD iirc, I dunno about the second.

by a country mile~

I also had no clue there were 2nd and 3rd movies until this thread.

What are their titles so I can imdb them?

The third one is called Starship Troopers: Marauder; you can watch it on nabolister (streaming) I stopped halfway through and I usually sit through most B-rated monster flicks.

Premise involved soldiers in a bunker surrounded by a wired fence which is under constant attack by the bugs. It also had some ridiculously awful music scene straight out of Bollywood.

I could link it, but I'm not sure what the guidelines are to streaming movie sites and junk.

doesn't anyone use Amazon anymore? thats the best way to find out if there was a horrible sequel made to your fav movie. Like when i found American Psycho 2. I loved the first one, so how could they fuck up the second? First kill off Bateman, then have Mila Kunis take over his role and add some William Shatner to spice things up.
The best sequel to a movie that shouldn't have had an sequel that I have found is 8mm2. Way better than the first one. No Nick Cage, no over the top bad acting, include an european sex trade and some attractive actors/actresses, fuck i loved it.

Book was awesome. Movie was also awesome, but for completly different reasons.

2nd movie was awful. I've heard 3rd is bad too.

Come on guys, #2 had it's laughs.

Like when the Psy Op Lieutenant Dills grabbed the nameless Female soldier's hand as the warrior had her leg and her glove slips off and you see/hear her screaming as it drags her off into the dust storm. I was fuckin cracking up.

Plus when the medic tore brain spider thing out of his buddy's head and brick (generic black grunt) says "What the fuck?"

#3 had more humor.

The bitch outside the bunker door shooting in one direction, dead open on both sides, runs out of ammo, turns to the guys in the bunker and says "I NEED AMMO!!!!" as the Warrior picks her up from behind.

Or how calm the entire 'main' cast is when their spaceship is going down...in space. Nothing like the engineer telling you the reactor is going to explode and you calmly walk to the escape shutting (no more pods!).

All in all, needs more zander (guy from #1 who got brain sucked. he was awesome)

man the entire series screams 40k to me


3rd one was ok, if you ignore awful acting. It actually made sense.

[Brill Weave]

I like to imagine that nothing came after number 1.

Rack that.

Starship Troopers 2 was an absolute affront to the Starship Troopers name. The only thing worth watching outside of the first movie is the cartoon.
