Don't get me started on that one... Heinlein's estate approved a movie to be made, but didn't enforce creative control. Thus the fact that the writer, producer and director stated they made the movie the way they did on purpose because they considered Heinlein a facist was over looked by everyone when it was in the starlog article when the movie came out.

Fuck being a hero. Do you know what you get for being a hero? Nothing! You get shot at. You get a little pat on the back, blah blah blah, attaboy! You get divorced... Your wife can't remember your last name, your kids don't want to talk to you... You get to eat a lot of meals by yourself. Trust me kid, nobody wants to be that guy. I do this because there is nobody else to do it right now. Believe me if there was somebody else to do it, I would let them do it. There's not, so I'm doing it.
