Death from Above: The Making of 'Starship Troopers'

The best documentary of its type I've ever seen. Michael Ironside, as himself for a change takes us through the making of one of the best films made in recent years. A must for all fans of action and science fiction

This is a very good inside look of Paul Verhoeven's (favorite director) film Starship Troopers. It gives you the real meaning of the movie. Which is the tranformation of a Soldier (Caspier Van Dien) in the world of Facisim. It also shows you how they got some of the Oscar nominated CGI effects. IT shows you how this movie was made from writing it to the last edited peice. It also shows how the stunts were made and even gos into the great score by Basil Poledouris (must buy for any music score fan). If you liked this Movie and want to see it was made I would check this out. It is the first choice on the Special features side of The Starship Trooper Special Edition DVD. Great movie, good documentary of a great (underrated) film.

direct quote "A behind-the-scenes look at director Paul Verhoeven's imaginative re-telling of Robert Heinlein's classic science fiction novel". WHAT CRAP while I liked the movie, Mr Verhoevan trashed the real story I bet Heinlein is rolling over in his grave, Did he even read the book before he rewrote it where is the powered armor where where the skinny's there where many moments in the book that should have been in the movie like when Johnny dropped a speaking bomb into a skinny habitation and it said I am a 30 sec bomb I am a 30 sec bomb 29 28 27 etc etc oh not to mention they changed a guy's role into a female role and which I could live with since he put the totally awesome Dina Meyers into the role but the original dizzy Flores was a dude and his friend, but back to my gripe why completely change a story that was far better than what you changed it to Im sorry But Robert Heinlein was one of the best SciFi Writers that ever lived and this was an insult to him period.
