It might seem like an excuse to include nudity, but the Starship Troopers shower scene is actually one of the most subversive in the satirical sci-fi. Starship Troopers is considered Dutch auteur Paul Verhoeven’s last great American movie, and on the surface, it’s about a bunch of good-looking soldiers flying to a distant planet to fight a race of super-aggressive bugs. It’s packed with bloody action and CGI that has held up surprisingly well, but it was a box-office disappointment. However, over the decades, it became considered a cult classic and exemplary satire, which the shower scene definitely helped with.
