The movie started production under the title 'Bug Hunt at Outpost 9', the bug designs are leftovers from the Tremors movies. SST is just an action movie they bolted a famous book title onto so 'intellectuals' could feel kosher buying a ticket to a perfectly enjoyable plain SFX spectacle. Verhoeven not reading the book was not some 'epic anti fascism', it was simply not needed - the scenes were already written before anyone thought of using the book (and the ignoring of it) for marketing. The structure of the movie perfectly reflects this. First half for 'this is totally a criticism guys, don't panic about enjoying cool aliens, big guns and hot chicks' and second half for 'this is what we wanted to make all along'. Hilariously it permanently tainted Heinlein as a fascist because nobody reads books.
