Cadet Squarejaw's girlfriend breaks up with him to go chase a hot, hot...captain's chair.

You go girl. He was never good enough for you.

If they're being sent out to shoot giant bugs, why are they shooting at targets shaped like humans?

Guess it never hurts to have soldiers trained to protect your country's precious oil reserves.

"Administrative punishment" did the Confederacy invent this army

Space potato arrives to save Carmen from making a poor pants-based life choice

Space potato emerged from the Romulan neutral zone, apparently. I'd assume this will have an impact on the plot if this film had a plot.

GO HOME, JOHNNY SQUAREJAW

YOUR HALF OF THE FILM IS BORING ANYWAY

Should've baked that space potato when you had the chance, Carmen

This movie would be much better if Johnny and Foosball Boy finished each other off right now and let the women do the rest of the pewpew laser stuff

This "deploying the mobile infantry" scene has real 90s toy commercial vibes and I can't help but think that was intentional

...I should rewatch "Toys."

This landing on bug world is the same stock footage as the start of Firefly, minus the CGI bugs, you can't tell me otherwise

Well, film just answered my amputation question. Yeesh.

Anyone who thinks Starship Troopers is in favor of war clearly did not watch this extended and rather gruesome "characters you spent the first half of the film bonding with get senselessly torn apart on the battlefield in five minutes" scene.

"To fight the bug, we must understand the bug"

Also the motto of my now-defunct discount exterminator and mobile dry cleaning business.

They're regrowing Johnny in a vat? But they can't do this with limbs? I'm so confused. Is this his parents' Harvard money at work? Main Character Syndrome?

Also: we have warp capable ships but can't fight this war with drones?

Not Johnny Rico shooting a Fat Man shell into a cave to clear out the Radroaches

The bugs' inside goop should be viciously caustic, because it just should

WHAT IS WITH DISCOUNT BIFF TANNEN AND HIS VIOLIN I SWEAR TO GOD WHY

Not understanding why this movie got panned. It has tits AND gore, what more do people want? /s

BUGS CAN FLY?! HOLY SHIT WHY DID NO ONE TELL US BUGS CAN FLY??!?!?!

This is all well and good, but what happened to Carmen? Is she just not relevant now that she thinks Johnny is dead?

It was only a matter of time before the bugs found our brains.

Alexa, how many gallons of fake blood are used in the average Vanhoeven film?

Once again, quicksand proves to be a much larger problem in movies than in real life

Doogie Howser talking about how he has to make decisions for the good of the species.

Y'all are 19 and have been in this outfit for five minutes, calm down

Carmen's ship gets shot in half. At last, the SPACE CARNAGE I've been waiting for

Not sure "just crashed into the center of bug city" is the place to be taking your helmets off, kids

"You know as well as I do she's already dead"

Carmen: *extremely not dead*

Mm, brain slurpee

Sorry this one is nothing but Foosball and imagining Carmen naked

There is no way Carmen's left arm still works after getting that stabbed

Note to self: While running from a nuclear blast, it is safe to stop and check if it's caught up to you (no more than twice)

Only took this movie a couple hours to explain why anyone cares if psychics exist
