  Starship Troopers is one of the few movies where an audience can ask &quot;Did the director even read the book?&quot; and the answer has actually been verified as &quot;No.&quot; Still a great movie.

  In the book the amputee actually had perfect mechanical &nbsp;prosthetics. He was told not to wear &nbsp;them to dissuade applicants.

  The lack of strategy is actually intentional, at least on the film maker&apos;s part. The human being a large, alien invasion moving in a swarm with little to no planning or purpose, with the bugs being the ones actually using strategies to destroy the hateful invading force, it&apos;s the traditional alien vs. human story flipped on it&apos;s head.

  &quot;Medical tech is so inconsistent in this movie.&quot; In the military we call those budget cuts ☺

  The knife thing, disabling the enemies hand so they can&apos;t use their weapons, does have a bit of a pay off in the end.. Carmen uses the knife to cut the brain probe off of the brain bug, technically disabling the enemies ability to use a powerful weapon of theirs

  The knife scene does bare weight in the story. At the end she cuts the brain bug with it disabling its ability to suck out brains. The enemy’s WMD was basically disabled because it could no longer use its appendage to suck brains. Just like Zims answer to Ace, the enemy cannot push a button if you disable it’s hand. I was Infantry in the Army and there were 3 things I was told to have on me at all times; a knife, a watch, and a good pen. I would expect that even in the future, we will still be encouraged to carry a knife just because of how utilitarian knives are. Your survival chances are greatly improved by having a knife, you can tie it to a stick to make a spear for defense or hunting, you can baton wood to make a fire, you can chop branches to make a shelter. Plus you can stab someone. Again very utilitarian.

  I just gotta say for how old this movie is, the bugs still hold up and look amazing now, both the practical and cgi effects. Thanks for doing Starship Troopers videos! I also loved them as a kid and think &apos;how does any of this make sense?&apos; as an adult lol

  The Roughnecks animated series introduces nurse bugs that consume local lifeforms to make a genetic slurry they feed to the larvae to adapt the castes.
