Starship Troopers, a 1997 sci-fi film directed by Paul Verhoeven, continues to receive praise for its visual effects years after its release. The film, set in a fascist future where humans battle giant alien bugs, features a star-studded cast including Casper Van Dien, Denise Richards, Dina Meyer, and Jake Busey.

Recently, a visual effects team known as the Corridor Crew shared their admiration for the effects in Starship Troopers, particularly highlighting the intricate texture detail on the models and the impressive use of CG. They were particularly impressed by the gasoline explosion scene, which they noted as one of the largest on-screen gasoline explosions in film history at the time of the movie's release.
