How old is johnny rico in starship troopers

Verhoeven said, "It's an idiotic story: young people go to fight bugs. So I felt the human characters should have a comic-book look" via The Guardian.

Verhoeven looked at some of the film industry's up-and-coming stars for the lead role, but he ultimately found his Johnny Rico in Casper Van Dien. Both Damon and Wahlberg had breakout roles the same year that Starship Troopers came out.

Jean Rasczak : Rico. What is the moral difference, if any, between a civilian and a citizen? Johnny Rico : A citizen accepts personal responsibility for the safety and the body politic defending it with his life. A civilian does not. Jean Rasczak : The exact words of the textbook. But do you understand it? Do you believe it? Johnny Rico : I don't know. Jean Rasczak : No, of course you don't.

I doubt anyone here would recognize civic virtue even if it reached up and bit you in the ass! Johnny : M. Fleet just does the flying. Johnny Rico : Never surrender. Never retreat. Never give up. Private Sugar Watkins : Gimme the nuke. Johnny Rico : You trying to be a hero, Watkins?

Private Sugar Watkins : Just trying to kill some bugs, sir. Carmen : Johnny, wait Zander : Forget it, Ensign. He's mobile infantry. When you're paid to kill it doesn't pay to be polite. Johnny Rico : You got something to say about mobile infantry?

Zander : You heard me. You want to make something of it Johnny Rico : No, sir, not with an officer. The M. Zander : Then let's disregard rank. Zander : Everybody hear that? Rank is not an issue here. Carmen : Zander, please, don't do this. Zander : Come on, what's he gonna do? Carmen : Johnny, uh, you remember Zander, don't you? Zander : From the game today. Zander : No hard feelings?

Johnny Rico : None at all. We won. But everyone's talking about it and the talk says tomorrow. Here's a bunch of M.

Dizzy Flores : [chuckling] Yum, yum, yum. Net Correspondent : So trooper, you're not too worried about fighting the Arachnids? Ace Levy : Hey shoot a nuke down a bug hole, you got a lot of dead bugs am I right? Kitten Smith : I just hope it's not over before we get some.

Net Correspondent : Some say the bugs were provoked by the intrusion of humans into their natural habitat, that a "Live-and-let-live" policy is preferable to war with the bugs. Johnny Rico : Let me tell you something. I'm from Buenos Aires, and I say kill them all!

Johnny Rico : I hear you got a bug problem ma'am? Corporal Birdie : Ah, stuff it, Rico! Mind reading Carl, cruel Carmen and the newly scarred Rico return to save each other from a whole army of brand new bugs. The best part of this trailer?

You can hear soldiers cursing at the bugs, and cussing animated characters will never cease to be funny. According to Starship Troopers Tumblr , this is the face of future Carl. Edit source History Talk 0. John D. Cancel Save. Universal Conquest Wiki.
