His first US film was Los señores del acero (1985) in 1985, but it was RoboCop (1987) and, especially, Desafío total (1990) that made him a big box office success. Sometimes accused of portraying excessive violence in his films, Verhoeven replies that he is only recording the violence of society. Verhoeven has co-scripted two of his films: Eric, oficial de la reina (1977) and Los señores del acero (1985). He also directed an episode of the HBO El autoestopista (1983) TV series. Several of his films have been photographed by Jost Vacano, including the hit cult film, Starship Troopers (Las brigadas del espacio) (1997), starring Casper Van Dien.
