Again from the old site, HANDS DOWN TO MI FOR BEING SUCH A BAD*** IN THIS COOL MOVIE!  He doesn't always play the bad guy, but he hardly plays the timid good guy either. O shame on me, how is it that my DVD rack lacks this movie??? Hmmmm... must take a trip to best buy then. |

I agree!
Have you ever read the book the movie was based on... it was really well written (I liked the CG version too, 'roughnecks')

Starship Troopers is a science fiction novel by Robert A. Heinlein, first published (abridged) as a serial in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction (October, November 1959, as "Starship Soldier") and published hardcover in 1959.
The first-person narrative is about a young Filipino soldier named Juan "Johnnie" Rico and his exploits in the Mobile Infantry, a futuristic military unit equipped with powered armor. Rico's military career progresses from recruit to non-commissioned officer and finally to officer against the backdrop of an interstellar war between mankind and an insectoid species known as "the Bugs." Through Rico's eyes, Heinlein examines moral and philosophical aspects of suffrage, civic virtue, necessity of war, capital punishment, and juvenile delinquency.
Starship Troopers won the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 1960 and helped create a different genre of literature known as military science fiction.
