Storyline

The war against the Bugs continues! A Federation Starship crash-lands on the distant Alien planet OM-1, stranding beloved leader Sky Marshal Anoke and several others, including comely but tough pilot Lola Beck. It's up to Colonel/General Johnny Rico, reluctant hero of the original Bug Invasion on Planet P, to lead a team of Troopers on a daring rescue mission.

Trivia

The only prayer that Holly knows seems to be The Lord's Prayer, reciting it repeatedly throughout the film, no matter the situation. The Lord's Prayer is more of a general recitation and affirmation that one has faith, not a prayer for protection the way Holly keeps using it. Psalm 23 the one that talks about God protecting one as they "walk through the valley of the shadow of death", would be more fitting.

Goofs

Both Sky Marshal Phid and Anoke wear the incorrect epaulets. The epaulets they are wearing are of the Rank of Lieutenant not Sky Marshal. Zander Barcalow, a Lieutenant in the first film, wears the same epaulets.

Quotes

Johnny Rico: Can you walk soldier?
Pvt. Slug Skinner: Yes sir.
Johnny Rico: Good. Give us a hand. Pick up that arm and find out who it belongs to.
Pvt. Slug Skinner: Yes sir!

User Reviews

not as good as the first...10x better than the second

As most of us Starship trooper fans know, The first movie was brilliant(except no tanks). The people who did manage to find the second movie know it sucked. Now we come to the Third. Although its better than the second it doesn't match anywhere near as good as the first.

Jonney Rico is back along with some other big names. But the real disappointment was its overall making. It could have been so much better. SGI and bad acting played a big role in that. We do see the return of the Starships and large combat but the set is still small. It has some good fighting scenes and some dull moments but over all watchable.

So now we must wait. see if there will be number 4 and hope to God it will be high budget.
