Oh I don't know....I thought the first one had a good element of enjoyable humour within it

Vanilla Sky with Tom Cruise. I was genuinely pissed that I had taken the time and spent the $$$ to rent that piece of garbage.

SS Doomtrooper

Or as I call it, The dirty band of a dozen vs the Nazi-hulk.

Hulk zornig! Hulk zerschlage!

Chuck Norris has been mentioned several times already... and why I didn't think of this classic in the first place:

Breaker! Breaker!

It was so bad I couldn't look away.

Same here. I haven't read the book, and I'm sure it's faaar better than the movie, but I still thought the movie was fun. Sort of like the 4th Indiana Jones, except not really.

I loved the first one, dont really know why but watch it every now and then.

Read It!!

Its got nuclear powered mech suited jet pack wearing para-marines armed with A Bombs! I don't know how Paul Verhoeven screwed up something that awesome but the book is life changing. After reading it you will not be able to watch any more science fiction!

BTW The German version sounds *******ing awesome! Sternenkrieger! If the German Army ever decides to rename its self (again) I vote for "The Sternenkrieger"! Doesn't everything sound more awesome in German?

I had read the book a few years before the movie came out (didn't like the book all that much, Warhammer 40K is much better scifi). The movie is so different from the book, it's almost a new story with the same name.

The Space Marines of Warhammer were very much inspired by the Mobile Infantry of Starship Troopers. Just about every military SciFi has some elements borrowed from Starship Troopers from Aliens to Stargate.

Yes indeedy! Blacula came out the same time as Jeremiah Johnson. I was watching Redford at the six-screen drive-in and could see that thing playing in the rear-view mirror.

Not knowing a source is a tradition. Like the young friend I showed Casablanca to a few years back. He didn't like it - said they used too many cliched quotes. I had to explain that they had to come from somewhere...

Yea, I'm trying to get my best friend to read ST. He in to Japanese Mecha Anime, and I've told him several times that ST was one of the first to popularize Mecha type combat. But he is too hard headed... Oh well next time he comes to town I'm making sure he takes one of my copies with him.

I agree. W40K has had decades to polish it into it's current (and excellent) story line. You're right, scifi has a history of "borrowed elements" from ST. It's funny to hear my Son say Dawn of War robbed Starcraft of Orc & Marine characters, when WH40K existed before he was born. And the Tyranids of 40K clearly came from the Alien movies, which got the idea from the bugs of ST. I had never heard of Warhammer before DOW, and have read over 70 novels since I was introduced to the universe. But I'm getting OT.

The movie Tina Turner movie, "What's Love Got to Do With It" was awful and way too long. It was the 1st movie I had rented with a new girl I was trying to see. By the time it was over, we were both so restless (and not in a good way) I was more concerned with getting the Hell out of there instead of making a move on her.

If you liked Dead Snow you might like the first movie from the same gang, Kill Buljo. Its a parody on Kill Bill ++ Although it has some really funny parts its mostly just bad.

Trailer (dubbed in English, but try to get a subtitled version)

And it had Dina Meyer in the shower, and Doogie Howser as a pseudo-nazi. That was fun.
