7. Apparently there was a 2
Straight to video... Who knew?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0367093/">Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation (2004) (V)

While it is a letdown from the original Tippett and crew get the most out of the limited budget and make a mostly entertaining if flawed follow up.

Likely to put off fans of the original, pleasing only those who can reap high entertainment value from the bare-bones ingredients of gore, boobs, and bug-splatter.

11. A Number 1 and a Number 2...
Why does that sound familiar?

4. There was a 2.
It was a straight-to-video SINO (Sequel in name only) that got very poor reveiws and is universally hated by fans of the first film.

ST3, on the other hand, brings back many of the characters and plot lines from the first film, and is supposed to be much better than 2.

5. Clearly, someone needs to make Starship Troopers 4, 5 & 6 so we can establish if this
is a pattern (oddnumbers good, even numbers bad) or merely a fluke!

6. ST #1 was great in a very stupid way.
Humanity was saved by Denise Richards and Neil Patrick Harris.

I love rampaging giant bug movies anyway.

8. I liked two things about that movie:
1. The bugs managed two sneak attacks using the same strategy.

2. No one ever figured out that bullets didn't stop the bugs. Why not flame throwers or grenades?

9. If you watch the movie as a parody (which I'm sure Verhoeven intended)...
it's actually a pretty classic piece of cinema.

It foretold the media's and public's reaction to the war on terra four years before it happened.

Do you want to know more?

10. You are so right. Fear. Miliitary worship. Media manipulation of the masses.
Glad to hear 3 is coming, even though I'd never heard of two.
