Starship Troopers Storyboard Trooper Shouts as Hopper Bug Dives In, Prop COA

This is a production used storyboard from the 1997 film Starship Troopers, starring Casper Van Dien as Johnny Rico. This came from Phil Tippett's studio via the official auction.

This production storyboard (Sc.4, Shot 33B) depicts a close-up of a helmeted Mobile Infantry trooper reacting in alarm as a Hopper bug dives in from above with wings spread, claws extended. The scene aligns with the Planet P canyon sequence where Hoppers attack Rasczak's Roughnecks from the cliffs.

The storyboard ships in a clear sheet protector, packed with protective padding inside a rigid cardboard envelope, and boxed in an oversize outer box via USPS Priority Mail. It is accompanied by a custom certificate of authenticity featuring a color photo of your specific piece, holographic and embossed anti-copy seals, a counterfeit-resistant background, and full production and item details — all housed in a rigid protective case.

Please note: while this is a genuine production used piece — distributed and utilized during the making of the film — it is not the hand-drawn original artwork. Production copies of the original were made and issued to directors, editors, and special effects staff for use on set. This is one of those copies.
