Be sure to check out the Director's Commentary on Twitch tomorrow - <a href="http://twitch.tv/knowingbetteryt">twitch.tv/knowingbetteryt</a><br>Starcraft was inspired by Warhammer 40k, which itself was inspired by Starship Troopers. It's Starship Troopers all the way down.

Alternate title to this video; <b>This most anti-war anti-authoritarian movie ever produced inspired me somehow to join the military.</b>

starship troopers 2 has the best directors commentary quote which (its been a couple decades) but was something along the lines of "our budget was 2$ and we spent 1.5$ on the bus ride to the studio"

The part about a crime surge being caused by unspanked juvenile brigands was absolutely hilarious

One of the most meaningful scenes was deleted from the movie: If I remember correctly, Rico finds the legless recruiter outside work, using some prosthetics that let him walk normally. He says everything is an act meant to discourage people from joining the military: If they are truly committed, they will see this mutilated man and still join regardless.

I think the book Jarhead described it best. No matter how anti-war a movie might be, young men will still be inspired by it, missing or dismissing the deeper message while humming along to Ride of the Valkyries.

My personal theory for Rasczak going from teacher to soldier again is that he wasn't actually retired, just in reserve, and was called to active duty after the bug rock strike, which he survived since he went on vacation for the school summer.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSg6eOmgvW8&t=757">12:37</a> Actually Rasczak's presence is easily explanation as you're ignoring the 3rd option: Rasczak, for whatever reason, was away from Buenos Aires when the meteor hit, saw his family get smushed, and decided to re-enroll in the military out of anger. The movie even hinted at this potentiality when Rico discusses why Rasczak never smiles anymore.

Fun fact about the shower scene, the actors agreed to do it only if the director and camera crew were also naked.
