and Star Trek's childishness (this is one film that has some serious violence), it boasted a true artist for director: Paul Verhoeven. It really is a Western, updated and improved for the "modern age." It's like no other film--- and though it's self-conscious and campy, it's a non-stop joy-ride wherein "good guys" suffer and die--- the violence itself is realistic.
