There is a reason why a lot of actresses passed at the time. They all knew it was a Hail Mary, at best. Berkley was very unknown at the time, and she was not that popular on Saved by the Bell anyways, so she took her shot. It failed, but at least she tried.
@@user-zv5jd6yg7z Charlize Theron auditioned for the role but didnt get it and considering she was unknown at the time she would have done it 100%. She was almost in place of Elizabeth. When she came to L.A Charlize had a reputation as an easy girl and was known to go around the clubs and bars hunting for directors or famous people and throw herself at them basically she would do anything for a role in the movie. This is known in the bizz. She dodged a career bullet by not getting that part because with this movie she would have been reduced to a softcore B movie actress for the rest of her career.
Show Girls is a misunderstood masterpiece and Berkley was not the problem at all and didn't deserve the backlash and should have had more opportunities as an actress because she can act and was fine in the film
No she actually overacted waaaay too much in it. Example: when Molly is asking Nomi where she's from in the beginning of the film. Elizabeth's reactions to the questions were waay over the top lol. And why did she throw up crossing the street?! Lol
@@nicolemonrueblame the director. It’s his job to get the performances that he wants. She acted the way she was told to act. So if you feel that way, fine, but not her fault.
Most viewers didn't notice what Paul Verhoeven was actually doing in Robocop, Starship Troopers, etc. but still enjoyed the movies just for the action. Those same people saw Showgirls, completely misunderstood the film, and HATED it.
She was perfect in it. What people don't get is that all of Paul Verhooven films are satire. They are send ups of tropes. "Starship Troopers" is making fun of war films. Not celebrating them.
Thr movie was ahead of its time because if it came out today it would be a box office hit. Hiw many stripper to star movies have their been now? This is actually a great and fun film.
I don’t care what anyone says, I love her and I love that movie. Was some parts of it kind of corny? Sure. But that’s part of what made it fun. A lot of my most favorite movies were considered “flops”. Also she looked absolutely gorgeous in that movie. One of my favorites still today.
It wasn’t a great film but people held it up against Basic Instinct which was wildly unfair. BI was a game changer. I think pretty much everyone at this point understands Berkeley took way too much heat for this. And now these types of films go relatively unnoticed when they bomb. Sucks she had to spend so much time justifying and qualifying.
Movie was amazing, then and now. She did amazing, she owned Nomi and was believable every scene. We all know dramatic people similar to Nomi. It’s pure sexism that drives the hatred of this movie.
The whole allure and gimmick of this movie's casting was that Elizabeth Berkley had been known as the smart girl on "Saved by the Bell, dressing in her jeans and vests and relatively demurely compared to her cheerleader friends, and here she was as a completely naked stripper. While the people wise about films would have been intrigued about the latest from Verhoeven and Eszterhas, most people of the younger generation would not have cared otherwise.
It is a good movie the problem was the time of the release, Just Imagine if 50 shades of Grey have been released in 1995 instead of Show Girls... Would Dakota Johnson be criticized the same way years later?
And here we are almost 30 years later and we are STILL talking about that movie.
Talking about how unbelievably hot and beautiful she was in that movie
And Howard still thinks he's a shallow person 😂
It’s the most fun movie of the 90’s
Smoke show
i loved it! elizabeth naked. all dreams came true lol. it had to be a jealousy issue from the critics.
Elizabeth looked incredible in that movie. A goddess.
She just was incredible....
Absolutely ❤
She portrayed her character perfectly. What did people expect for her to do ?
Character's name is Nomi. What do you expect.
it was a humiliation ritual...
also "nomi malone" => "monoamine"
Recite Shakespeare 😅
She was, and still is, so stunningly beautiful.
That snatch is something else too ain't it
@@leob4403 Yup, that movie was great too. Pitt, Ritchie, Classic !
@@ofb-jq5lc I was talking about another snatch but okey I see what you did there
@@leob4403
😄
''Still is beautiful''? The wall is real.
Showgirls is great and Elizabeth Berkley was awesome in it. She didn’t deserve to have her career hurt that way.
Are you insane🤨?
Did it hurt her career? Nobody remembers anything else she did.
@@milesgeary6358it did
Milesgeary that's the point Einstein
@@DukeJimboblmao
Showgirls is a great film. Paul Verhoeven's passion is evident in every frame.
I loved her in that movie!
Masterpiece it's low-key comedy
Say what you want, Showgirls is a classic and Berkley is a good actress.
😂
I want to say the opposite of that
It's a Ver- Sace.....
Well, 30 years later….nada.
@@AMERASIAN12 🤣🤣
An amazing movie. I’ve watched it 25 times at least.
and at least 25 tissues...
I only watch certain scenes but those I've watched a lot over the years 😅
@@leob4403 The same reason I watch the Poison Ivy movie with Jaime Pressly.
This movie had a ton of hype because of how controversial it was. It was also bizarre how this wrecked her career.
They don't call it Hollyweird for nothin!

Y'all are sleeping on Showgirls. Elizabeth is a dream, and this movie is a MASTERPIECE!

It’s how I learned to say Versace correctly 😂
😂
Ver-sase
She was absolutory gorgeous.
I love the movie. It’s a movie about sex workers, not priests or kindergarten teachers. Everything in the film was within context.
It portrayed the grungy lifestyle of Vegas showgirls
The movie that killed her career before it really even got going. It still haunts her all these years later!
What is Stern talking about? SHOWGIRLS IS A MASTERPIECE
💯
Would love the entire episode. Love the camaraderie look she gives back to Robin for mentioning name recognition.
Iconic film
Howard Stern has made a career out of just talking over his guests
LET HER SPEAK
Shes always been so beautiful and definitely still is. I loved her in showgirls. She's such a great actress.
She was amazing. Her character was suppose to act unhinged and over the top.
She is stunning with such a great voice. Shocking that she didn’t go further. It’s probably because she refused to sell her soul.
She was perfect in it.
What people don't get is that all of Paul Verhooven films are satire.
They are send ups of tropes.
"Starship Troopers" is making fun of war films. Not celebrating them.
I remember when Showgirls came out. My jaw dropped and now I had a new celebrity crush ❤
I saw the ' Showgirls' film when it first came out , I thought she was really very good . I was surprised at the negative reviews .
Thr movie was ahead of its time because if it came out today it would be a box office hit. Hiw many stripper to star movies have their been now? This is actually a great and fun film.
I love showgirls! I’ve seen bits and pieces of it a thousand times
How can you love it if you haven’t watched it?😂
Showgirls is pure cinema
Really hot actress. Really beautiful. And Gina also.
Elizabeth looked gorgeous during this interview!
I loved Showgirls. Fabulous movie. Have seen it several times.
Joke was on them, the movie actually SLAPS.
It must’ve been so hard for her seeing her career get squashed just as she was starting in movies. It’s a tough business to be at the best of times.
Good. Both her and Kelly thought they were gonna be dome a list tv/movie stars. They were dead wrong
The movie is perfection. Also it has a fantastic Vinegar Syndrone 4K release. Proud that this masterpiece got the royal treatment.
She's still a showstopper!😅
This is an interview with Howard from 27 yrs ago.
wow she still looks awesome. if you compare Showgirls to today's films it's a Masterpiece.
This interview was 27 years ago.
I will forever love SHOWGIRLS!!!
Pulp Fiction and Show girls are the two movies I can quote word for word❤
Elizabeth’s still beautiful.She seems really cool and down to earth.
She's still just as beautiful today as she was then.
Elizabeth is such a beautiful woman.
Showgirls was a very pleasing visual movie😊
Thank you for uploading this! I love Showgirls! 💅
I don’t care what anyone says, I love her and I love that movie. Was some parts of it kind of corny? Sure. But that’s part of what made it fun. A lot of my most favorite movies were considered “flops”. Also she looked absolutely gorgeous in that movie. One of my favorites still today.
I liked it. Her and all the other actors did a good job 🤷🏿♂️.
I liked showgirls. I don’t listen to critics, I make my own mind up.
It wasn’t a great film but people held it up against Basic Instinct which was wildly unfair. BI was a game changer. I think pretty much everyone at this point understands Berkeley took way too much heat for this. And now these types of films go relatively unnoticed when they bomb. Sucks she had to spend so much time justifying and qualifying.
Great movie, elizabeth was excellent in the movie, ahead of its time ok
I have the unrated dvd. I love this movie and a it’s a classic for me.
We need showgirls 2
Nothing was wrong with the movie at all. Elizabeth was and acted very well. It is/was a classic 90's movie. I even love the ending
It's from 95
Movie was amazing, then and now. She did amazing, she owned Nomi and was believable every scene. We all know dramatic people similar to Nomi. It’s pure sexism that drives the hatred of this movie.
Showgirls is a classic she's a great actress. She played her part well and did not deserve what they put her through.
i love how all of the actors and people involved with the movie acknowledge its not good but it still has its diehard defenders. pretty wild stuff.
Went to see "Showgirls" on opening night for one reason and one reason only. I was NOT disappointed. Nothing wrong with that movie at all.
What was your reason?
Was it Kyle MacLachlan? 😏
Showgirls is a awesome movie and great acting. Still watching it in 2024.
It's a fun movie and now everyone knows about it. It's a lot of fun to watch.
Verhoeven did a classic, not perfect but a fantastic movie.
My first celebrity crush and the reason I'm into tall women.
Yet… IDC it’s my fave movie (47) and I saw the spoof on the “ new come back show”
❤❤❤
She is great!
I love this movie...28 yrs after its release.
I wish she had defended it more. I thought and still feel it is great
She looks sooooo good
Such a troll
@@nancypelosi2627An admission?
@@frankd.506 Yes they admitted it
@@nancypelosi2627 Are you Mrs Nelson? Obviously a troll but I was just wondering.
I love Show Girls. It's a colt classic, and the choreography was stunning!!!
Showgirls was very interesting
She was so NOT the "hot one" on the TV show...but eventually became FINE A.F. with Showgirls!
Jesse was way hotter than Kelly. I disagree!
Berkley was stunning in this movie and the movie was good. It didn't deserve all the criticism it got, and she certainly didn't deserve it.
She is very pretty.
Didn't stop me enjoying the Movie many times ;)
How is it she looks 100x hotter here than in the actual movie??
I grew up watching saved by the bell and my jaw dropped when i saw Jesse in the movie😅. I enjoyed watching the movie a bunch of times tho
show girls is better than the new Star Wars and Indiana Jones movies
Elizabeth beat out an unknown Charlize Theron for the Nomi Malone/Polly Ann Costello part. It was down to those two for the role.
Absolutely stunning woman! And a good movie as well!
That movie is 🙌🏾 - it’s an accurate depiction of show business (especially today). People weren’t just ready to see it.
I just finished the movie and love it. I love how she got her lick back with Andrew for Molly. She acted well in this movie. I loved it!
Good movie.
Showgirls is phenomenal. It's trashy and that was the point.
She nailed the role. Love her!❤
I loved showgirl. I thought it was fresh and showed the seedy side of Las Vegas. Verhoven was a great director.

ShowGirls is a GREAT movie ❤ I loved it then and I love it now.
Is the rest of this interview on RUclips or somewhere?
She still looks young and beautiful
About 60 lbs heavier 😂
@@Dynamatrix2000 didn’t see the body
I just looked up showgirls because i want to name my cst after her character. She was awesome and the movie was great.
I really liked this film. I even bought it for a friend and she loved it
It is a good movie the problem was the time of the release, Just Imagine if 50 shades of Grey have been released in 1995 instead of Show Girls...
Would Dakota Johnson be criticized the same way years later?
It just needed a hot scene with her and Tiffany Amber
Thiessen, and it would have been a masterpiece. 😇
They’re both too good for that type of movie.
Romans 10:9💕
I always thought Jesse was hotter than Kelly on Saved by the Bell. People think I’m crazy.
You're not the only one. I had a crush on Elizabeth too.❤
Showgirls is aruably the greatest movie of all time.
she has a good attitude. even if the movie stinks ha ha but i haven't seen it so dk for sure
God her body in that movie was amazing
Yet fifty shades is praised
Why was it panned? It’s awesome!
Great movie!
I admire her for taking that risk after doing Saved by the Bell for so long. Its not her fault the movie was atrocious
She chatted me up in NYC in 2003 - i didn’t realise itbwas her.
where in nyc?
