I can't be the only one to have noticed this in Starship Troopers, can I?
I did a search to find out if anyone else has ever mentioned it and found nothing at all. There's a scene in Starship Troopers where a soldier gets picked up by a flying bug and taken to the mountain tops. As the camera zooms in, the lieutenant shoots and kills the guy saying to the others "I'd expect anyone else to do the same for me."
What shocked me about that scene was that the bug wasn't just killing the guy, he was brutally raping him. It's very quick but you can see that the bug pulls the guy's pants down (you can't see the pants being pulled down but if you look at the bug's actions, that's exactly what it looks like he must be doing) and then he "stabs" him but it's way too far down to be in the back.
Am I really the only one to whom this was obvious? Why has literally no one else ever mentioned it? You'd think someone would have in the past 28 years!
