The original 'RoboCop' was X-rated, and then they had to cut it down so it became R-rated, and Verhoeven claimed that actually made the movie more violent, because it's what you don't see that actually scares you.
I love Starship Troopers. That's really smart. I think he really could portray fascism in a comedic way. It's funny because both José [Padilha] and [Paul] Verhoeven were accused of being fascists for their movies because they had fascist leads. So, it's not going to have his tone, but there's going to be political satire in it.
'RoboCop' was maybe the best summer of my entire life.
I love 'Starship Troopers.' I've seen it ten times.
I had decided after 'Hollow Man' to stay away from science fiction. I felt I had done so much science fiction. Four of the six movies I made in Hollywood are science-fiction oriented, and even 'Basic Instinct' is kind of science fiction.
Whether you're a believer or not, a flawed biblical epic is going to be more entertaining than a remake of a Paul Verhoeven movie or some third-rate sci-fi flick.
I liked 'Robocop' because of the director, and it was an intelligent, big-action studio movie.
[I like] Die Hard and Paul Verhoeven movies. S - t like that.
Paul Verhoeven might be my favorite director, and I'm serious.
I'm more of a Cristal Connors than a Nomi Malone.
