Line 52:
* ''[[Starship Troopers]]''- was said to be a parody of the novel after it was released, despite the fact the Verhoeven only read the first few chapters.
** The movie has "parodies" of specific scenes from the books, but they mostly amount to taking the scenes and stripping them of the philosophy and context. Verhoeven tries to sell them as "ironic", despite being markedly less aware of the implications than the original scene. If you didn't know that the book was written first, you'd think that it was actually a scathing rebuttal of the movie.
* In general, if [[Michael Bay]]'s movie style is parodied, it will focus on things randomly exploding. Just explosions happening the entire time, for no reason whatsoever. If the parody is ''particularly'' adventurous it might bother to have something about a slightly melodramatic romance, but generally all that seems to be required for a "spot on" Michael Bay "parody" is just throwing in a bunch of random explosions.
