My late father Tim Boyle was the recording engineer on this film and I was his second engineer. He passed in December of 2019, but his work is remembered through great scores like this. It was a great honor to work with my dad and Basil. True geniuses. My dad and I started a label together and in August, in honor of Basil and Tim's birthdays, we will be releasing a new version of this score and others that my dad worked on.
As a former exterminator I can honestly say that I would play this on the way to take on a yellow jacket nest in September. I remembered my training. I made it back alive.
They weren't in a formal state of war until Buenos Aires was space rocked. The Mobile Infantry until that time was mainly intended for human-to-human combat, which can be inferred from all their training being against human opponents and their weapons and tactics being comically ineffective against the bugs.
It was seriously funny how ineffective they were. I love the movie but all the way through I was wondering why they didn't just nuke the bug planets to kingdom come in the first place; turn them into barren, lifeless rocks where any surviving bugs will just wither and die.Apart from the fact that the movie would have been over in 40 minutes, I mean lol.

“We’re going in with first wave, means more bugs for us to kill....” Commissar in the 41st Millenium addressing Elysian Drop Troopers who are about to assault a Tyranid held planet.
@@HrHaakon not necessarily, sure if the entire planet was Tyranid control -exterminatus it, but if they're still fighting dropping to undercut the swarm might be viable
The battle scene is SO UNDERRATED. started off like a typical war movie "great soundtrack, the troopers ready to kick some ass, great battle quotes" then the battle stopped being like a war movie and become like reality.. the music stops, you hear the sounds of soldiers dying, the "lets kick some ass" becomes "lets get the fuck out of here".
@Fungo Slungo I think it’s explained as them not believing the bugs would be _that_ well prepared for them, which I call bullshit on. You capture the drones and see how piss-scary they can be in open combat, yet when it comes time to invade the planet the _last_ thing you consider is bringing in the heavy artillery? Christ, the federation was fucking stupid for that one
@@TheCorrodedMan It wasn't completely stupid. At the strategic level yes, but at the ideological level, the tragedy of Buenos Aires and this monumental defeat contribute to dematerialize the conflict. The (factual) loss of life and the cost of war becomes immeasurable, but the symbolic wound deepens. War is no longer a rational matter, virtually open to debate, but a passionate one, a burning hate and a deep love of that hate. It should be remembered that, from the point of view of the Federation (as a sociopolitical agenda), citizen mobilization is the supreme issue, well above (without erasing it) military successes.
Paul Verhoeven said that sci-fi was far from being his favourite movie genre, and yet he gave us three of the most iconic sci fi movies of recent history: - Robocop - Total Recall - Starship Troopers
And it is because he approached the scifi as a cosmetic thing. A very good one, but the heart of those films was a deep criticism of society. Robocop is about the corporatization of public entities, including the police. Total Recall was about corporate exploitation of foreign lands and what it does to the local population and Starship Troopers was about criticizing a fascist society completely out of touch with the realities of war.
@@StoneyHoliday Arguably, sci-fi started with political messages and criticism of society, which is why his movie's work so well since they do fit the genre
When I was little, I thought this was one of my favorite movies to watch. Now that I'm adult it is still one of my all time favorites. And this music is something they don't make anymore
I loved this movie as a kid. I remember playing with army men and other toys and when my dad asked why some of them were broken or torn apart I would just say it was the bugs that got em. This movie is a great one. The music is a masterpiece.
I'm the same. I also aligned with the characters thinking as a child in terms of the practicality of fascism, as I've become more older I've realised this film is a critique, yet also a masterpiece. Better than Godfather IMO
"We are going in with first wave! Means more bugs for us to kill! You smash the entire area, you kill anything with more than two legs! YOU GET ME?!?!"

He did warn me it was violent but before I left the class he said this "Hey, Gus, remember, its bug against man, not man against man. Have a good day buddy"

Almost every modern version of futuristic soldiers, such as "Space Marines" or "Orbital Drop Shock Troopers" trace their roots to Starship Troopers. The concept of putting on a suit of power armor capable of hugging a gorilla to death, with nuclear rockets mounted on your shoulders, then literally dropping into battle from orbit onto an alien world was completely new when the book was written in the fifties. I'm sure the sheer scope and intensity simply blew people away back then. I grew up with Star Wars, and I was still blown away the first time I read it. FOR THE EVERLASTING GLORY OF THE INFANTRY!
EllasFTW If you regard fascism as the natural state of human society that is. The book is fascist, but the film is a pretty tongue in cheek satire of fascism, as was Robocop, another Verhoeven film.
This was my favorite movie ever while growing up, Still is easily top 2. Ironically as soon as i got to college, i met the kid who's uncle wrote this film and the remaining starship troopers (although if you ask me the only good one was the original).. Which was unbelievable. he was from across the country and the odds of me meeting someone who's uncle wrote my favorite movie ever are astronomical. Of course since it was my favorite film, i was skeptical. He showed me several copies of the film signed, proved the last names were coherent, and showed me a screenplay of it. It was glorious. Ooh Rah Starship Troopers!
The movie is based (loosely) on a science fiction novel of the same name, by Robert Heinlein. It's good reading; I enjoyed the book when I was young and the movie when I was older.
MarcellusTheGreen but really just borrows the name of the book and some characters, they are nothing alike; the film is pure Paul Verhoeven tough, full of satire and dark humor.
like the movie and I agree first was the best others were... not as good due to them being cgi instead of those effects from the first, and wtf is with those guns in 3 they are bulky as fuck! I wouldn't want to haul ass with that! I would still use the morrita from 1
talons claw The bugs in Starship Troopers 1 were pure CGI as well, although I agree, it's amazing how much lower quality the CGI was in the latter two; couldn't they at least just use the same models? I'm presuming they owned the rights to them.
Jonathan Kozenko Production budget, sadly. The first was a major movie release with a budget to match while the follow up films didn't enjoy the support. A crying shame, really. That, and it all spun off the rails with that god BS.
I once had a big spider in the ceiling of my room, and I should've played this Starship Troopers music while using the vacuum cleaner to get rid of that fucker, but instead I listened to "Ghostbusters" LOL next time, perhaps.
Read the book and you'll see what the story is really about. This is probably one of the worst adaptations of a book. The director of the movie didn't even read the book and based his adaptation on second hand accounts. Specifically second hand accounts of someone who appeared to have not understood the essence of the ideas presented in the book.
@@ZealotOfSteal he purposely did something different, that doesn't mean he's stupid. Shining is also very different from the book and it's still a masterpiece
@@XElhirrimX Never said he's stupid and while there are many things to criticize the movie on, it's still a good movie and I really like it. My problem is the director of an adaptation didn't even read the source material. He didn't even try to understand what it was about and it's a shame, because I think a movie actually based on the book would be pretty fucking awesome.
Has anybody actually made it all the way through this track yet without shouting quotes from the movie and making explosion sounds while pretending to pilot the drop ship? "REMEMBER YOUR TRAINING, AND YOU WILL MAKE IT BACK ALIVE!!!"
He purposely made a satire and the critics of the time were too stupid and the entire movie went completely over their heads. Because they thought fascism was impossible. I dare anyone to watch this now after the Trump era.
@@StoneyHoliday spoiled American who doesn't know what true fac. Is. Typical calling everyone they dislike Naz. Then wonder why everyone hates their liberals
Alas the director did not realize that militarism and nationalism does not necessarily equal fascism. Starship Troopers does work as a satire of the U.S. during WW II, especially as it concerns the Pacific War.
"IF you blow off a limb, the bug is still 80% Combat Effective. We recommend that you aim for the neck stem, thereby putting it down completely." "The only Good Bug, is a Dead Bug" "Ah, fresh meat for the grinder. Well, good for you son. Mobile Infantry made me the man I am today!"
This movie was so cheesy you had to love it. Very different from the Heinlein novel, which forced you to think about the personal side of war. I've heard criticisms about the novel, saying it glorifies war. I can't see how someone who read the first chapter can claim that. First sentence: "I get the shakes before every drop." Last sentence: "Flores died on the way up." Doesn't sound very glorious to me.
@@thomasthedoubter6813 i read the book the first time when i was around 12-13, having loved the movie, i couldnt pass on the book when i saw it in our local library...yes i am that old! anyway, my point is: i think it glorifies war only if your own thought process is stuck on the level of a teenager. back then i did feel like: man this is right, why arent we doing this instead of what we have now? but when you get older and are able to understand the delicate and complicated factors that make up human society, then, to me at least, the book became more like pov story of rico, with all his dumb ideas, his smart ideas, like you see a guy going through different emotions and perspectives, and while there are some focal points on how positive his life in the military and in this military society is, i personally see it much more like a clever representation of real world human issues, disguised in war "glorifying" costume.
This soundtrack is so goddamn awesome you forget it's the soundtrack to one of the most epic military failiures in movie history. But then, that's the point.
@@Vod_MacDuff do either of you have proof of what you claim, i doubt its a rework of the industrial theme of robocop, but this militaristic intrumental to batle isnt that apart, but also i doubt grag is full of shit, there may be a thing or two hes right, just link your sources

Awesome music!!!! This is also one of the most underrated sci-fi and satire films of all time!!!!!!!!!! Love this, watched it for the first time when I was 7
KALIMAindia Already Mr. Heinlein had been underestimated in this respect. Almost no one commented on the fact that the hero, at least in the book, is a HISPANO. As if a German SF-Author of the ´50th/´60th would make a Turk to the hero of his novelle.
Is it possible to be emotionally overwhelmed by awesomeness? I know the whole moment of destiny thing gets turned on its head not long after, but still, I cried when I first watched the landing scene. I've never cried tears of awesomeness before, but Starship Troopers introduced me to such a concept.

weird thing about that scene is that Insects don't have hands, so it was still an exercise in futility.
They weren't at war with the bugs at that point. They were training to fight other humans.
No, they were at war with the bugs throughout the movie, they even dissect drones in class and talk about how to kill them properly.
They weren't in a formal state of war until Buenos Aires was space rocked. The Mobile Infantry until that time was mainly intended for human-to-human combat, which can be inferred from all their training being against human opponents and their weapons and tactics being comically ineffective against the bugs.
It was seriously funny how ineffective they were. I love the movie but all the way through I was wondering why they didn't just nuke the bug planets to kingdom come in the first place; turn them into barren, lifeless rocks where any surviving bugs will just wither and die.Apart from the fact that the movie would have been over in 40 minutes, I mean lol.

I'm sure the sheer scope and intensity simply blew people away back then. I grew up with Star Wars, and I was still blown away the first time I read it. FOR THE EVERLASTING GLORY OF THE INFANTRY!
FOR THE EMPEROR!
40Κ is a bit Older :) in the 80s i think.Anyway both stories.Describe humanity as it supposed to be United,powerfull and CONQUERING :D
EllasFTW 40K is older than the movie, yes. However, I was referencing the book which was written in 1959.
LET'S KILL SOME BUGS!
EllasFTW If you regard fascism as the natural state of human society that is. The book is fascist, but the film is a pretty tongue in cheek satire of fascism, as was Robocop, another Verhoeven film.
This was my favorite movie ever while growing up, Still is easily top 2.
Ironically as soon as i got to college, i met the kid who's uncle wrote this film and the remaining starship troopers (although if you ask me the only good one was the original).. Which was unbelievable. he was from across the country and the odds of me meeting someone who's uncle wrote my favorite movie ever are astronomical.
Of course since it was my favorite film, i was skeptical. He showed me several copies of the film signed, proved the last names were coherent, and showed me a screenplay of it. It was glorious.
Ooh Rah Starship Troopers!
The movie is based (loosely) on a science fiction novel of the same name, by Robert Heinlein. It's good reading; I enjoyed the book when I was young and the movie when I was older.
MarcellusTheGreen but really just borrows the name of the book and some characters, they are nothing alike; the film is pure Paul Verhoeven tough, full of satire and dark humor.
like the movie and I agree first was the best others were... not as good due to them being cgi instead of those effects from the first, and wtf is with those guns in 3 they are bulky as fuck! I wouldn't want to haul ass with that! I would still use the morrita from 1
talons claw The bugs in Starship Troopers 1 were pure CGI as well, although I agree, it's amazing how much lower quality the CGI was in the latter two; couldn't they at least just use the same models? I'm presuming they owned the rights to them.
Jonathan Kozenko Production budget, sadly. The first was a major movie release with a budget to match while the follow up films didn't enjoy the support. A crying shame, really. That, and it all spun off the rails with that god BS.

Read the book and you'll see what the story is really about.
This is probably one of the worst adaptations of a book.
The director of the movie didn't even read the book and based his adaptation on second hand accounts.
Specifically second hand accounts of someone who appeared to have not understood the essence of the ideas presented in the book.
@@ZealotOfSteal he purposely did something different, that doesn't mean he's stupid. Shining is also very different from the book and it's still a masterpiece
@@XElhirrimX
Never said he's stupid and while there are many things to criticize the movie on, it's still a good movie and I really like it.
My problem is the director of an adaptation didn't even read the source material.
He didn't even try to understand what it was about and it's a shame, because I think a movie actually based on the book would be pretty fucking awesome.
These are the Original Helldivers
and they shall always be remembered
Yea, the book slapped. The guy who started it all, powered armor AND orbital drop troopers.

This is honestly one of the greatest movies of the 90’s, the director tried to do everything wrong but ended up making a timeless classic
He actually did it right.
He purposely made a satire and the critics of the time were too stupid and the entire movie went completely over their heads. Because they thought fascism was impossible. I dare anyone to watch this now after the Trump era.
@@StoneyHoliday Trump wasn’t a fasci…
@@StoneyHoliday spoiled American who doesn't know what true fac. Is. Typical calling everyone they dislike Naz. Then wonder why everyone hates their liberals
Alas the director did not realize that militarism and nationalism does not necessarily equal fascism. Starship Troopers does work as a satire of the U.S. during WW II, especially as it concerns the Pacific War.
"IF you blow off a limb, the bug is still 80% Combat Effective. We recommend that you aim for the neck stem, thereby putting it down completely." "The only Good Bug, is a Dead Bug" "Ah, fresh meat for the grinder. Well, good for you son. Mobile Infantry made me the man I am today!"
In the book the soldier who made Rico take the oath removed his prosthetics just so Johnny had no illusions what service entailed.
This movie was so cheesy you had to love it. Very different from the Heinlein novel, which forced you to think about the personal side of war.
I've heard criticisms about the novel, saying it glorifies war. I can't see how someone who read the first chapter can claim that. First sentence: "I get the shakes before every drop." Last sentence: "Flores died on the way up." Doesn't sound very glorious to me.
Would you like to know more?
The arachnids had less neck than Danny DeVito. I’m pretty sure it was ‘nerve stem’.
Take my like anyway for the fond memories
@@thomasthedoubter6813 i read the book the first time when i was around 12-13, having loved the movie, i couldnt pass on the book when i saw it in our local library...yes i am that old! anyway, my point is: i think it glorifies war only if your own thought process is stuck on the level of a teenager. back then i did feel like: man this is right, why arent we doing this instead of what we have now? but when you get older and are able to understand the delicate and complicated factors that make up human society, then, to me at least, the book became more like pov story of rico, with all his dumb ideas, his smart ideas, like you see a guy going through different emotions and perspectives, and while there are some focal points on how positive his life in the military and in this military society is, i personally see it much more like a clever representation of real world human issues, disguised in war "glorifying" costume.

Poledouris was always a genius. However this "Klendathu Drop" track is actually a clever rework of the Robocop theme :)

@@Vod_MacDuff do either of you have proof of what you claim, i doubt its a rework of the industrial theme of robocop, but this militaristic intrumental to batle isnt that apart, but also i doubt grag is full of shit, there may be a thing or two hes right, just link your sources
