Starship Troopers (film)/Trivia


 * Dawson Casting: Casper Van Diem was twenty-nine playing a high school student, Denise Richards was 26, and the other "high schoolers" weren't much younger. Results in Fridge Horror when you realize how utterly creepy it is that people who just barely avoid being Child Soldiers are hardened veterans.
 * Prop Recycling:
 * Power Rangers, Firefly -- the armor from this movie has shown up everywhere. After getting passed around Hollywood for years several of the suits were eventually sold for use in the third movie, making this a weird circular trope.
 * The USM Auriga appears to have been made from a modified model of the Rodger Young, or one of its sister ships.
 * Recycled Script: This film was originally to be an Aliens ripoff called "Bug Hunt", then Verhoeven got the rights to the Heinlein story. Many wept that day.
