An unforgettable unhinged spectacle of sex and schemes set against Vegas' glittery backdrop. "Showgirls" tells the story of Nomi Malone, a hard-luck case, trying to make it big as a dancer. Stars Elizabeth Berkley, Glenn Plummer, Kyle MacLauchlan, Robert Davi, Gina Gershon. This special edition features a pop-up trivia track, lap-dance tutorial (taught by the girls of Scores), audio commentary by David Schmader, more. High-strung, statuesque Nomi Mallone (Elizabeth Berkely) is determined to be a dancer in Las Vegas, whatever it takes--but she starts out as a stripper. Through her seamstress roommate (Gina Ravera), Nomi catches the attention of the voracious bisexual Cristal (Gina Gershon), star of an extravagant pagan sex show called "Goddess" which plays nightly at the swanky Stardust Casino. Through Cristal's influence, Nomi gets a chance to audition for "Goddess" and is soon involved in all sorts of sordid backstage goings-on, including bitchy dueling with Cristal over Stardust head honcho Zack (Kyle McLachlan). Maligned by many critics upon its original release, SHOWGIRLS has since become a true camp classic, revived for midnight showings and beloved for its decadence, high nudity yield, and outrageously catty dialogue (courtesy of screenwriter Joe Eszterhas). Its director is Paul Verhoeven (ROBOCOP, TOTAL RECALL), so one can safely assume SHOWGIRLS' over-the-top hostility and sexuality is meant to be a satire of American culture. One of the first big-budget Hollywood movies to be released with an NC-17 rating, its lack of box office success meant few others would have the guts to follow. The first big-budget studio film that was given a rating of NC-17 by the MPAA. The film's budget has been estimated at $40-45 million. The film also was the first one rated NC-17 that was widely released (on 1,388 screens). But despite all the hoopla and publicity surrounding the film's release, it only grossed $20.1 million in the U.S.

Showgirls Movie Review Average Rating: (3 out of 5 stars)   Extremely silly, extremely fun
Talking about this movie in a serious tone is kind of silly. This is a fun, over the top "so bad it's good" film. The new material is great, especially the drinking game and the women of Scores analyzing the movie. Summing up, if you're a fan, go buy this set.

So bad... So entertaining!
It's a bad film. The story and dialogues are really ridiculous. But it's funny, simple, amusing, shows good female bodies and choreographies. I can only expect disposable fun when I see it. Really good B movie.

This review is for a different format. Is this movie OSCAR worthy?...NO
But I do find it to be enjoyable. Whenever it comes on tv, I always wind up watching it and enjoying it. Probably because I have the hugest crush on Glenn Plummer.

This review is for a different format. What did you expect? It's a B movie!
Being a fan of B grade films, which typically feature bushels of nudity, I jumped at this film. Yes, the plot is weak. Yes, I believe that for Elizabeth Berkely making this film was the career equivalent to shooting oneself in the foot. Did I enjoy this movie? Absolutely!

Former video store clerk Quentin Tarantino's directorial debut, RESERVOIR DOGS, is a brutally funny, supercharged introduction to his supremely distinct cinematic vision, which was later to become one of the most mimicked styles of the 1990s. Mastermind Joe Cabot (Lawrence Tierney) assembles a crew of top-notch criminals to pull off a jewelry store heist. As the film opens it becomes immediately clear that the plan backfired, forcing the survivors, who have gathered at an abandoned warehouse, to figure out if one of them is, in fact, a police informer. The crew--Mr. White (Harvey Keitel), an aged veteran; Mr. Orange (Tim Roth), a wounded newcomer; Mr. Blonde (Michael Madsen), a psychopathic parolee; Mr. Pink (Steve Buscemi), a bickering weasel; and Nice Guy Eddie (Chris Penn), Joe's son--begin to unravel as the pressure becomes too much for them to handle. When Joe arrives, the truth becomes clear in a vicious Mexican standoff.
Tarantino takes liberally from Hong Kong action flicks, most notably Ringo ...

With two little words, a flick of the hand, and that famously coiffed comb-over, real estate tycoon Donald Trump parlayed his financial success into a hugely popular reality television series based on personal and corporate intrigue. Billed as "the ultimate job interview," THE APPRENTICE lives up to its acclaim as 16 candidates vie for top position at one of Trump's companies and an accompanying $250,000 salary. Divided into two teams based on gender, the contestants compete against each other in assignments designed to test their business acumen, from selling lemonade on the streets of Manhattan to managing an NYC pedicab company. The team that makes the most money wins both a prize and immunity, while the losing team faces Trump and his assistants George Ross and Carolyn Kepcher in the dreaded boardroom, where one member is ceremoniously dismissed. Created by SURVIVOR's Mark Burnett, THE APPRENTICE shares that series' ...

Showgirls video
$8.35
TWO GIRLS FOR A MADMAN is a gem in the oeuvre of the quirky skinflick maestro Barry Mahon; it follows two young, attractive, and temperamentally opposite ballet students who are nonetheless good friends. Sonya is a good girl who takes her studies seriously, while Toni is a wild swinger with dreams of acting; she attends raucous orgies which, of course, are shown here in graphic detail. When psychotic Frank Yeager encounters Toni at an orgy, he blatantly flouts his psychiatrist's advice and follows her, eventually attacking her in a rough sexual encounter. Later, however, she recommends him to Sonya, describing him as "all man," and the madman eventually shows up at the girls' school looking for a follow-up to the first act! Quite explicit softcore, especially for a film from the 60s, TWO GIRLS sports an impressive orgy scene and an extremely sensual, luxurious shower scene.
A millionaire represents the last hope of a host of sexy young things in trouble in MR. MARI'S GIRLS, and he is willing to come to their aid, for a price. Stella is a beautiful model hooked on heroin who will do anything for her next fix, including dance nude for Mr. Mari. Dirk is a tough lesbian desperately in love with her blind girlfriend Barbara, while poor Diane is a young high school girl who has gotten knocked up by her English teacher. All these lost souls congregate at Mr. Mari's place, and compete with one another for his help, resulting in one of the most spectacular catfights in sexploitation history!
Helen Doe is a dutiful niece on her way to visit her aunt, blissfully unaware that a hooded strangler is lurking about; she is waylaid and brought to "The House of Horror on the Hill." There, she and six other TORTURED FEMALES are forced ...

In large part responsible for singlehandedly bringing rap music to the mainstream and giving it staying power, hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons provides a look into the goings-on behind the scenes with THE INDUSTRY. The rollercoaster ride of rap is narrated in interviews with such luminaries of the business as Kanye West, Chingy, Ludacris, and Andre 3000 among others. We also hear from the astute businessmen who support, promote, and manage this talent, including Lyor Cohen, Kevin Liles, LA Reid, Blue Williams, Chaka Zulu, and Simmons himself. No one knows the industry better than these folks who make it happen, and this documentary becomes a fascinating foray into the workings of a world of which the public normally only sees one side. Replete with concert, backstage, and rehearsal footage, THE INDUSTRY also features the making of three Grammy-winning albums: Outkast's SPEAKERBOXX/ LOVE BELOW, Kanye West's COLLEGE DROPOUT, and Ludacris's CHICKEN-N-BEER.
The Industry is a highly entertaining and revealing documentary that goes beyond the surface of the music business to examine the inner world of the industry and the true politics behind getting an album ...
