Showgirls: Exposed

I don't know what I was thinking. Nothing about this film ever promised anything good. The years-long promises of this being an official sequel to Showgirls, having a budget north of 20 million dollars and so on and so forth, and the director's ludicrous display of aggression, bullying and plain stupidity...

Well, when I put in the DVD, I was fully prepared for a so-bad-its-good trash fest. But this is so bad, it's just plain bad.

There are literally no redeeming qualities here. The plot oscillates between laughable and non-existent, the direction doesn't even seem to realize what genre this movie is supposed to belong to, there is no sense of timing to speak of, no sense of place, it's mostly just random, headache-inducing imagery.

Which would still be kind of maybe OK if the images were interesting in some way. Instead the viewer is treated to badly lit scenes of rather plain looking women who clearly are not cut out for this sort of thing. These women are definitely no actresses, and I find it hard to believe they are even professional dancers.

And then there's the music. If you want to call it that. It sounds like a little boy got to play with a synthesizer in a store for a couple of minutes, pressing all buttons while hammering on the keys. In the 1980s.

Showgirls Exposed is not sexy, it's not thrilling, it's not even unintentionally funny. It just hurts your brain and makes you wish DVD-Rs were unaffordable.

This is, simply put, utter crap. It's an inept try at making a "movie" but in a time where everyone can pick up a camera and shoot away it's just not excusable to sell crap like this. If the director likes to be around cheap girls for the time of the shooting, just switch of the camera next time. just not interesting for the rest of the world. please... damn is this stupid. I guess this guy even makes his own razzies to post on camera to prove he's part of the "system". man, just so sad. and stop posting reviews for your own movies. thanks. I'm not quite sure why stuff like this even got attention from newspapers three years ago. It must be because the guy who made this sent out "press releases" and started throwing big names around. It is pretty obvious that this backfired pretty soon... next time round he'll be marketing some other crap. Maybe the official prequel for Wild Things or something. Just pick a title and go for it. No problem!

all i can say is this DVD is awesome!!! the director is a genius!!! wow!!! i recommend this DVD to anyone who likes showgirls. 10 out of 10! if you have any spare cash you won't go far wrong buying this DVD!

this director is a class act! i can't wait for his next release, bring it on. :)

intriguing stuff not to be missed, and please check out this directors other work online. you will be stunned.

i have been following this guy for a few years now, and i love all of his work. he is very unique in his field.

this sequel is not to be missed everything is in the title of the movie!.

If you like movies in the style of "Crank 2" this is for you! Crazy, sexy, cool sequel to Paul Verhoeven's Showgirls. Better soundtrack, more naked girls, more color, more darkness, more pervert fun!

There's even a "pool scene" (LOL), but this time the girls doing nothing else than just showing their bodies!!

It's eye-popping uncut! The tag-line on the cover: "Disturbing. Provoking. Completely shaved." - So true!!!

The girls are very young and damn hot, especially a blonde from Nomi's 8mm diary took my breath away.

I really like this bizarre music film crossover, but better keep away your children.
