***** Just take a look at Robocop or Starship Troopers.The first makes fun of the 80's Reagan-era capitalism and media,disguised as a revenge action flick.The second makes fun of militarism,imperialism and propaganda,masked as a cheesy monster-action flick.So it makes only sense that Showgirls is also a satire on showbusiness,masked as a sex-flick.
Pretty much. My dumb kid self didn't even get the not-subtle satire of RoboCop, it doesn't surprise me the Showgirls meta flew over most peoples' head at the time
I know this is a 9 yr old comment, but I think the major difference between Starship Troopers / Robocop and Showgirls is that those movies also work if you're not in on the joke (which is really hard to pull off). Robocop is a perfectly serviceable action movie. Starship troopers is entertaining as a dumbed down war film. If you peel off the layer of satire, these films, on their own, hang together, they're entertaining and internally coherent. But showgirls doesn't really work, separate from the satire. If you're not in on the joke, it's unwatchable. It doesn't quite work as an exploitation /revenge film, separate from the satire.
@@alinawolf4493 I would say whoosh but I think that's just for when you don't get a joke or sarcasm or something... how can you misunderstand such a simple sentence? wtf? 😂
I was a teenager when this came out so, naturally, it was much beloved by me, and every male I knew. Keep in mind this was before everyone had access to the internet in their house, and those that did and managed to find porn, it was only still pictures. So this was a big deal. That said, even as a hormonal teenage boy who wore out the already bad VHS copy I'd pulled from most likely HBO, I knew this was a satire. I wasn't even that interested in the process of filmmaking at this time, but this was just so obviously a satire that I was surprised few people seemed to get that. But I was too busy shaming myself to one of my celebrity crushes from "Saved By The Bell" to really make that big a deal about it.
When he says that there is so much nudity it just becomes background noise, I disagree. Most young men just watched this movie in 5 minute increments, if you catch my drift.
Well he did get to have simulated sex with Elizabeth Berkly or maybe he really did for all we know and It was pretty hot to be fair. It does happen in movies occasionally to make it seem more realistic. It all depends how far the actors want to take it.
There's a reason this movie bombed in the box office only to become a modest success on VHS, and I suspect it has little to do with a sudden cult following..
Showgirls is a rag to riches story in which the protagonist found herself right where she started in the movie. If anything, she and us, have been conned into thinking we can win against the House.
Why the fuck don't you have more views? Seriously, you're funny, likable, and on point with cinema critique. Please keep it up. You're videos should have millions of views.
This movie is so bad that the writer (Joe Eszterhas) wrote into the script of Burn Hollywood Burn a reference to Showgirls calling it "terrible." If the writer later admits that it's bad, it's really bad.
I've never seen this film but from the clips you've shown, it really does seem to be a satire and I would agree with you. Things like the sex scene and the dialogue really scream satire to me.
In my opinion this movie isn't satire or bad on purpose. This movie is so bad it's good. There is a difference. I think people that may not be fans of movies that are so bad they are good are trying to convince people there is deeper meaning here or this was satire or done on purpose. If this was done on purpose it would have come off as forced. Many movies have tried to fake so bad it's good and failed.
VHS Copy of Seinfeld Because her acting choices were 100% the director’s fault. He admitted that he specifically told her to act as wild and flailing as possible.
@@coreyhand3138then it was her bad decision to make that be the first thing she did after Saved by the Bell. You can't have the first thing you do after your iconic role be crap. Even if it's because of the director.
Why this movie was always so hated, i have no idea... well glad to see its achieving "cult" status nowadays, and i think its totally deserved... Btw with so many dumb reality shows about frivolous "personalities" like the Kardashians and all that shit on tv, i guess its even more obvious now what this movie is all about, a subtle satire on American enttertainment industry... shame that took so long for people to understand that...
Dick Laurent correct me if I'm wrong, but did anyone say this was a Satire when the movie originally came out? I've only heard the Director and cast talk about it being a satire years later. Also, why not just advertise it as a satire, it still had copious amounts of female nudity so I'm sure people would have gone to see it otherwise.
Well telling from the clips and what happened, a lot of black people got beaten, raped, and abused for no reason and with unrealistic expectations. People of all ethnic groups get treated like this every day. No one in real life would just continue a show if someone is injured. That didn't happen for spiderman turn off the dark. Not only that but people who act like Nomi in real life aren't treated that nicely. People don't get attached to mean crazy women who have no clue how to act in public. They get put in an asylum or told not to do certain things. Real life isn't over cruel. I'm sorry but if this is your idea of reality, you need to go outside. And I didn't laugh one bit at this movie.
Jason Millsom Considering that it involves a sexual journey, for a woman, I think what it might be doing, is helping women feel better about themselves. Anastasia has a great body, but even she is insecure about it.
You've reviewed "Showgirls". FanboyFlicks should review the movie "Striptease" in the near future. The actress that portrayed Penny in this movie also appears in that film. It also stars Demi Moore, Robert Patrick, Ving Rhames, and Burt Reynolds. Much like "Showgirls", "Striptease" is also considered to be one of the worst movies of all time and that's why it would qualify as a bad movie that is worthy of a review by FanboyFlicks. Demi Moore portrayed a stripper in that movie so I can imagine a lot of people watching it on home video back in the day.
Showgirls is a worthwhile movie. I think theres a good movie in there but its a bit of a mess. the plot is a bit boring and theres not much suspense but theres some memorable moments. Gina gershon is great in it and theres some interesting relationship dynamics going on in the film.
While the Andrew Carver scene might not make sense you most people, it's not weird at all for someone who is seemingly a popular, well-liked person to become a vicious rapist behind closed doors. In fact, that's how most rapists conduct themselves so they can get away with any allegations towards them. I'll give you the beating part, that was a little out of context & unexpected, but again, this isn't exaggerated because it does mirror real life scenarios.
trotfoxtrot the unexpected part was that she was obviously willing to fuck him already. If a girl came up to you and said “I’ve always had a huge crush on you and I want to bang you right now” why would you think to yourself “muahaha! This is the perfect opportunity to rape!” Just have sex with her dude. She’s already consenting
Faint366 Rape isn’t about sex. It’s about control and guys like this do this because they’re often times narcissistic and do it because they can easily get away with it.
I agree with Erika. Rape isn’t about sex. It’s about power and control. Some people want that feeling of power and control and it gets them off more than consensual sex would. I always felt like that was what that was supposed to convey.
I think this movie is more relevant today than when it came out. You mentioned the press making things in the entertainment industry seem more important than they are. The Kim Kardashians and Amber Roses of the present are a prime example of that. And the internet just amplifies it.
Thanks for another hilarious review! It really looked at "Showgirls" in a way I've never seen it looked at before, and maybe it's not bad in the way I thought it was. Thank you for persevering, because from my point of view, I'd say it was worth it.
Great review. You're a hilarious individual naturally it seems. You don't try too hard and it comes across even in your insight into movies. Wonderful work, keep it up good sir.
Great review. Yes, people have been speculating that it has a deeper satircal layer for ages, and I think it probably does. I can understand why it was misunderstood, because it was one of the first big budget R-rated movies that tried to go mainstream. but I think it shows a picture of the showbiz, and its not to be taken too literally. Its also very cheesy at times, but that just makes it fun. A very different movie, and I have to say I'm a closet fan as well.
Thanks for pointing out that subtlety that went over the rest of our heads.What are you talking about? Rated R movies have been "mainstream" since there have been rated r movies. Did you mean nc17? My guess is they weren't going for that rating. And Midnight Cowboy, a rated x movie, actually won an academy award.
It's not too far fetched that the black chick is that nice, most people go above and beyond to be kind to very aesthetically pleasing people. It's just human nature, vane or not, for humans to want to be around and impress beautiful people whether your sexually attracted to them or not.
@7:33 Celebrities now get residencies in Las Vegas and it makes the national news; sometimes, international news (for some reason). So yeah, Showgirls was a little bit ahead of it's time..
finally been waiting for your next video for a while, keep it up very entertaining. I love how your character seems like hes forced to do these reviews against your will.
An old drama teacher of mine from HS actually trained and knows Elizabeth Berkley. He apparently called her after she did Showgirls and he asked her "WTF were you thinking?" She confessed to him that she wanted to do an "adult role" and didn't realize all the exploitative elements until the filming started which she found embarrassing (or so she told him). Sadly though, that was the last time they spoke.
I don't know why but whenever you make a new video, the first time I watch it, I always fall asleep, and then I have to re-watch it, don't get me wrong I love your videos, but they also make me sleep. :D
You: "how are people drawn to such a clearly violent person? - and - a popstar by day, psychopath by night is unbeliveble" Me: dude you never heard of chris brown?
I really liked this movie, and Gina Gershon was great. I also think Elizabeth Berkeley gave a good performance as a sort of feral woman who hasn't had much support from anyone
funniest most disgusting scene has to be when she and the black guy are about to get it on but then she says shes on the rag, and hes all no sh1t? and actually checks her plumbing, then she storms out of the house and hes following behind screaming WE CAN PUT TOWELS DOWN!
I just wanna know what kind of direction Paul Verhoeven gave Elizabeth Berkeley in order to get her to act like she has electric eels in her blood stream.
When it comes to bad actresses, Elizabeth Berkley is the measuring stick. "Showgirls" was the true highlight of her career and it's considered to be one of the worst films of all time. It's very obvious as to why all of her other movies were straight to DVD and home video releases. I'm not even going to mention "Saved by the Bell" because that show is so bad that it could be used as a form of the death penalty. If people enjoy "Saved by the Bell" and "Showgirls" and want to watch it then they are entitled to their own opinions and interests.
So let me get this straight, out of all the comments that I've ever posted, this is the one that isn't worthy of being visible to the public. Really? So "Saved by the Bell" and "Showgirls" were great movies. I don't think so. If you have Elizabeth Berkley in anything then your movie or TV show is going to have more than a few problems. Why isn't this comment visible to the public anyway? That's what I would like to know. It's not spam and it isn't insulting but I was just stating an opinion.
I can’t tell you how many times I come back to this video, but it’s 3:32 am, I can’t sleep, and I read the name “Raquel Welch” which I thought was Gina Gershwin, long story short, this video is the best way to “watch” the movie 😂😂😂
I do think Showgirls is a great fairytale. And it's superbly filmed. I love it so much! Snow White does Las Vegas, defeats both the Evil Queen and Prince Charming and moves over. Verhoeven never disappoints...

Looking forward to your next review!
I'm starting to believe Paul Verhoeven was just trolling everybody with this movie,I mean how can you take this whole thing serious?You just can't.

You've convinced yourself it was a satire, it's just like what people did after The Room, the human mind just can't comprehend it!
Nomi Malone should be interpreted as "Know me, I'm alone"
Know me alone
That’s clever.
Oh god, she actually left her friend. She actually left her friend in a hospital in Vegas. How shitty is that
Then she got in A car with the same guy who robbed her. Kind of A payback, but not enough.
Nomi is kind of a shitty person
The part where James "checks" to see if Nomi is indeed on her period is another highlight.
That sex scene in the pool is just too much
The film is a satire, but it's a bad satire. I can't believe Kyle MacLachlan turned down having a bigger role in the Twin Peaks movie for this shit
LOL THIS was the movie? Wow. Plus he's in The Flintstones movie.
20 years later when David Lynch called he was very anxious to get back to Twin Peaks.
Well he did get to have simulated sex with Elizabeth Berkly or maybe he really did for all we know and It was pretty hot to be fair. It does happen in movies occasionally to make it seem more realistic. It all depends how far the actors want to take it.
Not even Elizabeth Berkeley can make actual sex look THAT absurd. It has to be as fake as it looks. All that splashing and thrashing?

Nom(i M) alone = I’m alone. Nomi is the nickname of Joe Eszterhas's wife. The two names together were meant to read as “I’m alone”.
I just wanna know what kind of direction Paul Verhoeven gave Elizabeth Berkeley in order to get her to act like she has electric eels in her blood stream.
Just watched this movie for the first time and had to come back and rewatch this
When it comes to bad actresses, Elizabeth Berkley is the measuring stick. "Showgirls" was the true highlight of her career and it's considered to be one of the worst films of all time. It's very obvious as to why all of her other movies were straight to DVD and home video releases. I'm not even going to mention "Saved by the Bell" because that show is so bad that it could be used as a form of the death penalty. If people enjoy "Saved by the Bell" and "Showgirls" and want to watch it then they are entitled to their own opinions and interests.
So let me get this straight, out of all the comments that I've ever posted, this is the one that isn't worthy of being visible to the public. Really? So "Saved by the Bell" and "Showgirls" were great movies. I don't think so. If you have Elizabeth Berkley in anything then your movie or TV show is going to have more than a few problems. Why isn't this comment visible to the public anyway? That's what I would like to know. It's not spam and it isn't insulting but I was just stating an opinion.
signoguns I couldn't find the comment underneath this video a few days ago. It must have been a Google+ commenting glitch.
You're giving this movie way too much credit!
"It's a...jump-to-conclusions mat!"
I can’t tell you how many times I come back to this video, but it’s 3:32 am, I can’t sleep, and I read the name “Raquel Welch” which I thought was Gina Gershwin, long story short, this video is the best way to “watch” the movie 😂😂😂
Great review, dude. Keep it up!
I do think Showgirls is a great fairytale. And it's superbly filmed. I love it so much!
Snow White does Las Vegas, defeats both the Evil Queen and Prince Charming and moves over.
Verhoeven never disappoints...
like your work dude
