This one stands out as perhaps the only Verhoeven flick that's pretty light on exposed female flesh. Even Starship Troopers had more T&A on display than was the case here

Yeah dude. No boners 🍆to counter balance that ultra violence. They shoulda thrown some T&A in those "I'm buy that for a dollar!" scenes. Only the unisex cop's locker room showed some boobies.

True. That sequence in Starship Troopers was far more exhaustive, as was some actress named Dina revealing the twins in her scene with Casper Van Dien

Dina Meyer. She was stunning. I wish she'd made it big, she was a lot hotter than many of the movie stars we got.

But besides the veiled social commentary message the film had, which BTW this is how Hollywood used to present its social engineering messages and not the ham fisted, hit you over the head with a sledgehammer woke way they do it today,

Definitely!

I busted out loud laughing when Bodicker busts into Morton's house and just says, "Bitches, leave!" 🤣. Or the awesome phony commercials peppered throughout the film such as showing the 6000 SUX having 8.5 MPG. Even that guy that was holding the mayor hostage was like, "I want a fancy car, with leather interior, bucket seats and shitty gas mileage!!" .

Verhoeven's unique satirical vision comes from him himself being an outsider in America. He said somewhere that when he made Robocop he was new to the country and was shocked by the amount of adverts on tv. I think being outside something can allow you a unique viewpoint on it.

Absolutely. So much easier when you are outside looking in, no question.

It's regrettable for us as viewers, yet I've noticed that the actors and actresses who departed Hollywood for parts of the globe far removed from the industry are overwhelmingly in much better shape psychologically than those who hang around within spitting distance of the studios, Hurray for Meyer, if this is the case with her

Yes, before they start doing that plastic surgery crap. Look at what happen to Renée Zellweger. She was unbelievably cute in the early years and then became practically unrecognizable. I think most actors who make it big end up not living in Hollywood full time. That town is too damn depressing.

Seems like she has a new movie

Movie looks terrible. But good for her. Glad to see she is still working steadily.

She hasn't aged badly. She doesn't look all Zellwegered up.

Definitely not. If she had work done it was very minimal.
