Showgirls (1995): Part 1

Published: Feb. 5, 2019, 2:53 p.m.

It's showtime, ladies! Welcome to a world of sleazy men and the lovely yet hungry ladies they depend on to make it big in Sin City. Beloved 90s TV star Jessie Spano (Elizabeth Berkley) is Nomi Malone, the scantily-clad tough cookie who's looking for her big break as a professional dancer on the Vegas Strip. Whatever you do, don't call her a whore or she'll make you pay! This film has it all: bad acting, overly-long dance sequences, and with all the pasties, high heels, tube tops, g-strings, and menstrual blood viscosity checks you can handle! A script with so many lines of inexplicable dialogue you'd think it was dictated by a chimp! And a film with the twitchiest, thrashiest, flailingest in-pool sex scene you've ever seen! With Kyle MacLachlan and Gina Gershon to round out the cast, this film is sure to be a staple of cheesy (or brilliant?) 90s cinema. Remember: what happens in Vegas, stays in the script! Grab your cocaine, lip liner, switchblade, and potato chips and leave your inhibitions at the door, honey. It's Showgirls! (Part 1 of 2).
