You mentioned Starship Troopers by Paul Verhoeven. That movie had a $95M budget.The soon-to-be-released Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation had about a $3M budget, was filmed in just over a month, and yet is far more entertaining than Verhoeven's big-budget effort. It was directed by Phil Tippett, who worked on special effects for the original; for his own film he went for a Roger Corman kind of filmmaking (in his words). Roger Corman had a genius for filmmaking, and this movie is a fitting tribute.
Everyone knows that it doesn't take a lot of money to make a good movie, but Starship Troopers 2 is the only recent example I know of that pulls off a good low-budget well crafted special-effects/action/sci-fi romp. Check it out when it's released.
