I think it qualifies for this year's countdown. Thanks, Dr. Gangrene!

STARSHIP TROOPERS is certainly horror sci fi, in fact, there were a few moments that outright horrified me, and DOKTOR G'HUL is hard to horrify. I have a weakness for fire death, so when the tanker bug smashes through the outpost wall and roasts two soldiers with its flame spew, and we get to watch them boil and burn right in front of us, I rocked back in my theater seat. That hit me where I live. The book has so much going on that Verhoeven's film simply didn't have the budget to do it all, so they focused on thte bugs instead of giving the soldiers the power armor they had, which would have evened things up A LOT ( and would have made the phrase " ON THE BOUNCE!! " a lot better known ). If there's a remake closer to the book, it'll be a war epic that will blow minds.

I did like this, not loved but liked, I also watched one of the sequels, can't remember it much, enough said, of the newer sci fi / Horror you can't beat John Capenter's Ghost of Mars, but no Creepy Crawlies in that I never thought of this one, Love the way Dr, always surprises us, I wonder if the tv Movies, Ants,1977, Tarantulas the deadly cargo 1977, other than the Great Movies of the 1950's there were several tv movies with Creepy Crawlies if you include all the Bee movies, I remember a Collage themed movie Night of the Creeps that was also part sci fi Can't wait to see tomorrows movie I see my MD, tomorrow not fun like Dr, Gangrene My Favorite Dr.

A movie where I sided with the bugs. I absolutely loved the brain bug. I'd give it a higher rating. The sequels are not equal to the original, but still entertaining in a popcorn flick kind of way. Thanks for another fun review, Dr. Gangrene.

Didn’t think of this but an excellent entry! The first sequel is definitely a horror film - I don’t remember much but it was pretty gross.

That is one sweet cheat dear Dr😅 But I love it, I love it since I first saw it with 17 and that is when the movie was just one year old🤘 This countdown keeps getting better and better every day.💚 Part 2 was first meant to be a theatrical release but they slashed the budget so much it really suffered bit it's a fun romp still, a far cry from the original but a cool monster horror that has a Carpenter, slight Cronenberg vibe. It goes bodyhorror!;)

I read this book as a kid. Heinlein wrote quite a few books that were made into movies. I've seen this one but I have to say, I've been around for all your countdowns and this year is the one that has introduced me to the most movies I havent seen. I agree about the sequels. I have no interest in seeing them tho I enjoyed this one

I thought all the films were good but not as good as the original. Plus there was an animated series that was great.

Yeah, the sequels are pretty bad, including the anime one by the makers of Appleseed
