Paul Verhoven did a good job in the Starship Troopers movie copying the Nazi uniforms and updating them - they did look pretty sharp.

First thing my wife did was call the kid from TV "Doogie Himmler" [:D]

That was "almost" a good adaptation of Heinlein's book - except for the fact that they left out the most important part of the bloody book - the armoured MI suit. That alone disqualifies it for a "decent" SciFi movie, although they did try to get the rest of the politics and some of the action at least moderatly right.

Now. I am a man of simple taste in some things, and like understated. An old USN dress blues (the ones you had to buy which had real "bells" and not just stove pipe pants - which were illegal for inspection but alright for libs - go figure) with properly salty white hat, and a good high neckerchief knot (usually tightened up as soon as your feet left the brow) is enough for my taste. Had a lot of fun, and got into some trouble with that one.

I also like the old late 1800's Prussian dress military uniforms too, with the big, wide sash and a ton of medals. And dont forget the loooooong moustache! [:D]

Couldn't agree more. Without the nukes and jump suits, combat was pretty silly in the film. Heinlein had vision, the movie had gratuitous violence and special effects.

It had nudity and explosions so it gets 2 stars. Great book...lousy movie.
