Casper Van Dien is loving the Starship Troopers renaissance but still finds it mind-boggling some take it at face value: 'My grandfather fought against the Nazis, and it's not a pro-war film—Everybody f***ing dies!'

"Quentin Tarantino talked to me for five hours about why Starship Troopers is one of the best movies ever made."

    There is implications in the film that we started colonizing the bugs territory and initating conflict. We caused the war. The bugs were just defending themselves. While we sent massive ships after their planets.

        I think this is how it went, it’s been years since I’ve seen the movie:

        The bugs were already expanding onto other planets before they met humans. Then some extremist Mormon colonists set up a colony in the known bug zone when they were told not to. Then the bugs sent a meteor to Buenos Aires.
