#7 - Bonus Features: Starship Troopers (1997)
"MANKIND JUST BECAME AN ENDANGERED SPECIES."
After a short, summer hiatus, HfOH is back with Bonus Features 3, where Kyle, Brandon, Caleb (Ryan is currently on an extended vacation) as well as their good friend: Prince Arora (Insta: @brownmartian) discuss and break-down Paul Verhoven’s 1997 Sci-Fi, cult classic: Starship Troopers.
Showcasing a satirical vision of the future where ‘service guarantees citizenship’, Starship Troopers follows the journey of Johnny Rico and his exploits in the Mobile Infantry, against the backdrop of an interstellar war between mankind and a race of sentient, insect-esque aliens known as Arachnids. Being a (self-aware) parody of the military industrial complex, right-wing fascism and jingoism, the film holds themes that were both ahead of it’s time in 1997 and scarily relevant for the modern political climate, all the while mixing this with high-octane action and over the top (yet excellent) gore which has made the film the timeless classic that it is today.
Featuring Casper Van Dien, Neil Patrick Harris, Dina Myers, Denise Richards and Michael Ironside (among a plethora of other big names from Hollywood) Starship Troopers has endured over the years despite its initial negative critical reception (the film was exceedingly misunderstood at premiere) and has gone on to be fan favourite of many a moviegoer and sci-fi nerd alike.
