Showgirls (1995)

[DaleBoca]

Anybody else actually sit through this crap?

I recall when it was first coming out. There was a lot of buzz around because it was NC-17. I wanted to see it because I was only 11 and wanted to see Jesse Spano naked. Of course, it was impossible being 11 and all. I saw it a couple years after the release, a buddy of mine had gotten his hands on a copy. I didn't care much for the movie and was more interested in seeing some nudity(better than watching scrambled porn).

But it was on last night on Showtime, I decided to sit through it and watch it. And Jesus Christ, it truly was terrible. The acting was just crap. I read that a dozen girls turned it down and Elizabeth Berkeley accepted it because SBTB was over.

The story itself could've worked, a young twenty-something with a past coming to Vegas to make it. But yikes, what was the director thinking?

I was shocked this movie had a budget of 45 million and this was over 20 years ago.

The entire movie made me feel DIR TAY.

Tits and Ass couldn't even save this abomination.

It was one of those movies that was so bad that it was good!

[Kingz]

I remember thinking it was bad but not as laughably bad as people made it seem. I guess it comes with the budget that big.

I don't see why it was rated NC-17 to be honest. I remember being disappointed because I expected it to be more dirty.

 

[Aegon Spengler]

It was terrible yes

 

[BisexualMMA]

I wouldn't go so far as to say it is a good movie, but it's certainly good enough that it shouldn't be on all of the horrible film lists in which it resides. It is a decent story. If nothing else, Robert Davi is great as always.

I want a remake with Gabi Garcia. Guaranteed box office smash. Literally.

 

[El_Dyablo619]

Are you kidding?? Jesse Spano nude pool sex scene...flopping around like a fish out of water. That was prime acting right there!

Nude Gina Gerson and Elizabeth Berkeley... They're a Goddamn national treasure!

Yeah, the problem was you only had a short window if you got your hands on it as a kid. I remember, me and my buddy watching it with the door slightly open, just in case if we heard somebody coming in the house.

Might as well been a kilo of coke in the trunk. That's how scared we were.

Yeah as a teen. Porn was much more elusive back then. Kids these days don't know how lucky they are, with one click free hd hardcore.

Berkeley is fucking hot. Something about seeing girls naked that you normally couldn't.

Glenn Plummer was actually on that fucked up show Cop Rock. You know the man needed to take a break from inner city gangster roles and vogue out for a bit.
