After Verhoeven made his glorious Hollywood debut with RoboCop (1987) it went straight to another sci-fi movie. This time, he had access to lucrative star Arnold Schwarzenegger and a promising talent, who we would also see in Verhoeven’s next film: Sharon Stone. The story is wonderfully bizarre, but also pokes fun at American culture (again) and underscores Verhoeven’s reputation as a great satirist of the United States. It also contains scenes typical of Verhoevian, like the woman with three breasts. A must-see movie.
