SHOWGIRLS
Special Features: 30th Anniversary | Tickets $8!
“It doesn’t suck.” Paul Verhoeven’s so-bad-it’s-good strippungsroman (alternatively, a knowing Hollywood satire; ALL ABOUT EVE set among exotic dancers) had a difficult commercial release. Savaged by mainstream critics, and to date the only NC-17 rated film to be released widely, it underachieved at the box office — but became a massive hit on home video, where it has since earned an appreciative cult audience. Running from her past, Nomi Malone (Elizabeth Berkley, SAVED BY THE BELL) hitchhikes to Las Vegas to pursue her dream of becoming a high-class hotel dancer. But she soon discovers that showgirl jobs do not come easily. The competition is fierce, and she has to make ends meet by stripping at a low-rent club. But Nomi has her eyes on the Goddess show at the Stardust, headlined by diva Cristal Connors (Gina Gershon) — and nothing is going to get in her way.
