Is it true that Paul Verhoeven would chase you guys around with brooms and scream, I'm a fucking bug through a megaphone while shooting the battle scenes for Starship Troopers? 100% true. And Paul was such a cool director, but he knew what his strengths were. And he knew, and if he didn't have a strength in it, he would absolve himself from it. So he didn't know, like, the CG stuff. There was a guy named Phil Tippett, who was really famous, who did all of the bugs and the CG. It was one of the first big CG bug movies. Now there's a lot of them. And so yeah, he would just say, look up there, look in the corner. Right, ah, it's the bugs, the bugs. I wasn't in most of those scenes because I just came marching in at the end of the battles and said, carry on. Everything's fine here. Paul also didn't know comedy. He didn't care about comedy at all. I remember asking him, like, Paul, is it funnier if I say it this way or if I say it this way? He said, I don't know, American comedy. Just say whatever you think is funniest. Thanks, director.
