starship troopers copied trek with terms like warp speed and the federation. the test comes from the wrath of khan. staring at the ship in space come from star trek 1.

actually starship troopers was based on a book written years before star trek was invented

Dang General Grin, you sure do seem to have a problem with the new Star Trek movie. I thought it was good, but I guess every one is entitled to a opinion.

[GeneralGrin]

actually I don't have a problem with it.

I just love to nitpick things.

same with my "star trek mistakes" videos. I didn't do it because I hate star trek. I just do it for fun.

OMG. Thanks for the thesis! I have not watched SS in like 10 years. I had forgotten all of this. It really shows just how uncreative and hacky Orci and Kurtman are. 5 stars...

@Pressy: You mean to say, 'MUCH BETTER', but you're right.

This is Hollywood They ran out of ideas DECADES ago

I also like the video with the side by side comparison to Star Wars

[RaspWillow]

so, let me get this straight, because both movies include: teenage rebellion, heated brawls, illicit love, military service in a time of battle, testing, failure, penance, followed by success, then promotion, and some yokels shouting "weeeee hoooooo!", then one movie is ripping off the other? I'd say both movies ripped off ...every other movie that's not a romantic comedy then. Also, I submit that perhaps we can no longer use the term "Art Imitating Life" but instead "Art Ripped-Off Life"

@JagThegemini: actually.. Starship Troopers the Book was written in 1959.. and it did have the Federation as the government in the book.. nothing about warp speed however.. but they did use a propulsion similar to that of Star Trek, and since Gene Roddenberry was a Sci Fi fan, he would have read the book and known about it.. so in fact.. Star Trek ripped off things from Starship Troopers, as well as other books.. sorry to dissapoint your fan boy ness.

star trek XIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII wasn't a bad film.
