Paul Verhoeven's underrated sci-fi flick Starship Troopers celebrated its 20th anniversary a few weeks back, and it's made its way back into the collective conscience as proven by Egotastic All Stars reader Will H. from Lexington, KY getting all hot and bothered over the classic shower scene!
While it's hard to say if Starship Troopers is one of Verhoeven's best films—I'd say it ranks fourth or fifth on his filmography—it's definitely not hard to say that the film flew over viewers' heads when it was released all those years ago. One of Verhoeven's achilles heels in the filmmaking process is poor casting. When you're making a bone dry satire of fascism, you've got to give us at least a handful of actors that can sell that concept, and spoiler alert, Casper Van Dien and Denise Richards weren't the ones to do that.
So yeah, while the film has its issues, none of them dwarfs how amazing that coed shower scene was and still is. Thanks for sending that our way Will, and be sure to keep the Reader Finds coming!
