I remember this coming out in the UK (I was in my final year of university at the time) and the legendary Barry Norman, witty film critic extraordinaire, giving it a nicely scathing review by saying there was so much nakedness that towards the end, he felt the urge to yell: "Get 'em on!" Personally, I've never understood the cult appeal of this film and always thought it was rubbish from start to finish. But I do like other Paul Verhoeven films: Flesh + Blood, Robocop, and Starship Troopers, for instance, and more recently Elle (bracingly contentious, that one). :)
