  Starship Troopers is a masterpiece. And Rico was an idiot for neglecting Dizzy.

  I was an extra in Starship Troopers, during the futuristic high school football game scene. They filmed it in the Pyramid at Long Beach State College. My girlfriend and I were part of the cheering fans on the sideline. I still have my silver and blue pom poms. (We were supposed to give them back, but I wanted the souvenirs). Side note, An older lady standing next to me got hit in the face with a stray football and it broke her glasses, cutting her face, halting production and freaking out the crew.

  The book is more about society and becoming a citizen than fighting bugs.

  The Trooper armour also got given a lick of purple paint and reused as "Alliance armour" for the Firefly series.

  Almost 30 years later and the initial drop scene where the Troopers invade Klendathu with Basil's incredible fanfare playing STILL makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

  Bonus: "Starship Troopers" the book was on the United States Marine Corps Commandant's required reading list for its portrayal of small unit leadership.

  When this came out, we couldn't stop talking about it at school. It was huge back then

  I love Starship Troopers! One of my favorite alien battles movies ever made! Every single time I watch this film it gets me super excited and the story really grabs you! This movie has a very special place in my heart! The battle scenes are amazing and the characters are so deep! Nice to see people still celebrate this movie!
