Goofs

When Henry Varro's service record is shown, his Blood Type is listed as "B" without a + or - to identify the Rh factor. This is important for blood typing and cross-matching. In combat, quickly knowing blood type aids in transfusions, which is why it's always on your dog tags and in service records.

Ratzass: [Entering into the locker room, seeing Ice Blonde naked, whispers] Heh. Check it out.
Ice Blonde: What's the matter? You never a saw a flanker without her armor before?
Bugspray: Yeah. But they usually look like Ratzass.
Ice Blonde: Ratzass?
Ratzass: Heh. That's what they call me.
Bugspray: Because you don't give a rat's ass about anything.
Ice Blonde: What a surprise.
Ratzass: Hey, you want me to show you to the shower? I could wash your back.
Ice Blonde: [Turning to face Ratzass] You don't wanna wash my front?
[Pushes Ratzass up against the lockers, unimpressed]

User Reviews

Not the best, but better than ST2

This movie brought me exactly what I was expecting. Soldiers killing bugs! This movie could have been better if they had bigger budget(I bet this movie had a pretty low one.) Animations was sloppy and it had some flaws. The story was good but the voices not so. Also.. The girls look like anime .

Overall.. Not the best starship troopers movie.. But way better than Starship Troopers 2.

Hopefully the remake of the original Starship Troopers from 1997 will be good.

Worth a look.
