re: #90 Targetpractice

My understanding is that the movie was really more a passion project of the script writer who was a fan of the novel, and that Verhoeven gave up after a couple chapters and just had the writer (who’d worked with him on Robocop) explain the broad strokes of the book to him.

They left out the powered exosuits.

Those were the basis of how the Mobile Infantry fought, using only a handful of troopers to occupy an entire planet, not swarming off of transports like marines as they did in the Verhoeven version…
