The first time I saw Troopers I sat there with my mouth hanging open in shock, thinking "why, oh why..."

Next time I had a couple of beers and relaxed. I enjoyed the hell out of it. 1 hot chick with a gun, 1 hot chick as damsel in distress, cool combat scenes, enough camp to house the entire 4th division.

It's all a matter of expectations, I suppose. I'd love to see it done straight sometime though.

Camp can work really well with SF. Didja see "Evolution" (figuring out how to work "Play that Funky Music" by Wild Cherry into an SF movie was a great bonus touch).

You forgot the excellent Basil Poledouris soundtrack. If nothing else redeems Starship Troopers, that does.

1 hot chick with a gun, 1 hot chick as damsel in distress, cool combat scenes...

And then there's Michael Ironside with his immortal line:

"...and if you find a bug hole....nuke it."

Great stuff. I've always loved everything he's done ever since I saw him in "Scanners".
