What you're missing from that opening bit is that it's a matching game, 'No Match'. The card being flipped is not his guess of the hidden card, the card being flipped is his choice to match the other card we get to see but that he doesn't.

Picking up my habit of doing running commentary on these reviews as I watch them, okay. The guy at the front of admissions for 'Federal Service', he is there for very specific reasons. In the movie he's there so Verhoven can say 'The Military sucks, booooooo military service." But he's there in the book as well. In the book he doesn't have any prosthetics when he's processing papers at the front desk he's just there as Mr. Stumpy being 'the man mobile infantry made him' to show the kids what they're in for and weed out those lacking conviction. The movie pretty much equates Federal Service with Military Service but in the book it's more broad than that. You take a stint of Federal Service to become a 'Citizen' and gain the right to vote and to hold public office, but federal service in the book can be Anything and if you're really determined they'll find something you Can do based on your aptitudes. It can be anything from general civil service to the military service the book and movie revolve around. In-universe those who seek Citizenship in the hopes of starting a political career often pick military service because it looks more impressive than washing bedpans in a nursing home, for those kinds of people Mr. Stumpy is there as a big sign in neon saying, "You sure about this bro?" Also in the book the Mobile Infantry get power-armor with nuclear weapons and jet-packs.

I believe the rifles are Mini-14s and Ithica shotguns dropped together into a custom-made outer shell. I think Rico said it himself, "I wanted to Win". He was treating that exercise like a high-school sportsball game, not a dangerous combat exercise. In the book Rico is sentenced to 'administrative punishment' for a helmet-related issue, only it doesn't cause any casualties and it's his own helmet. During an exercise with simulated nukes he decided to 'un-mask' and lift sensor-goggles on his power-armor helmet and have a look around through the clear visor. He thought this was no trouble because it was all simulated, i.e. he didn't treat it seriously. If an actual nuke had gone off and he lifted his goggles the armor would've protected the rest of his body but he would've cooked his eyeballs. The political aspirant in the book also walked down washout row, only in the book it was offered as an option instead of a courts-martial after an incident during an exercise where they punched a drill instructor (without being invited to for training purposes). And yes, the optics are very interesting, and probably intentional.

One of my favourite sci-fi’s. Great story and an awesome soundtrack. Verhovens movies are great, and they are all very bloody.

Since you are a fan of the sci-fi genre one question for you. Star Trek or Star Wars?

Dustin

Do not watch the sequels, I repeat do not lol. I think it ended up getting down to like Cinemax late night movies.

Lucas Roberts

Anyone remember the animated series they used to show in the Sci-Fi channel?

I know I have recommended several films already but what’s one more… Krull would be a good sci-fi/ fantasy that has a cult following. When you get a chance I’d love to hear your opinion on why this movie didn’t go more mainstream or get a sequel.

You should watch Wing Commander one of my favorites

This was so fun to rewatch after over a decade. Such a great movie. Perfect combination of your traditional war movie that goes from training to war and Scifi. I always hate so bad when someone gets impaled by an object in these movies and tries to remove it. Combat life saver 101 lol. If you want a movie filmed in a similar style that is great check out "District 9" from 2009.
