Interesting, and yet very random, trivia for this movie. The director also directed Starship Troppers!! Yeah, the crazy cheesy bugs vs. humans movie where Doogie Hauser saves the day. That's some crazy shet! There's an interesting article on the him, may contain spoilers, on AV Club.
I think I remember lots of action sequences, explosions, etc, accompanied by a great score. it had a somewhat of a blockbuster quality to it in some parts... in a good way. I need to watch it again!
Oh please, like I need to be schooled on Starship Troopers! I love that movie! Paul Verhoeven also directed Robocop (one of Jim's faves) and Total Recall. I was intrigued to learn that he directed Black Book, as it sounds so different from his other stuff.
You know, I have never seen Total Recall. I know, I know, right. I think that's the only Arnold movie I haven't seen, and isn't that suppose to be a really good one?

I didn't realize that! Funny thing is, I definitely thought I saw more "Hollywood" elements in this movie than in other foreign films.
ReplyDeleteLike what? I'm trying to pull this movie from my memory to think of examples...
