As such it does reference other movies, and acts as a Spiritual Adaptation of the book, in a colossal Tone Shift from the previous movies, with the end result been it feeling very similar to a certain other adaptation of the book with a helping of Fanservice and Technology Porn added in. Invasion is set several years after the third movie.

Years later came the CGI movie Starship Troopers: Invasion, made largely by fans of the book Running the Asylum. In addition, an All-CGI Cartoon was released in 1999, called Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles, which takes place in its own continuity and incorporates the Powered Armor from the book. There were two live-action Direct to Video sequels, Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation, which had puppeteer parasites in the form of brain-eating Control Bugs, and Starship Troopers 3: Marauder, with the introduction of Powered Armor and religious subtext. (It should be noted that some people missed the satire, perceiving a simple gung-ho action flick instead to Verhoeven's credit, the film is his most action-packed.) A fairly detailed exploration of the film's themes can be found on The AV Club. The film was intentionally designed as the polar opposite of the book in terms of message, characterization, and themes - an attack on the idea that War Is Glorious.

It originally started out as an unrelated script called Bug Hunt before the studio acquired the rights to the novel and Verhoeven, disgusted by what little he was able to stomach of Heinlein's book, had the script rewritten to deepen the satire. Heinlein's novel of the same name, the film is generally considered to be the biggest middle finger the original source material will ever receive, and that is no accident.ДЄ co-production between TriStar Pictures and Touchstone Pictures (that's right, Disney helped produce this movie), the film is a satire of militarism, the Cold War, dehumanization of the enemy, war movies, propaganda and military sci-fi in general.

Starship Troopers is a 1997 Military Science Fiction action film directed by Paul Verhoeven.
