I can definitely see hints of interesting stuff in Showgirls, but it just loses all focus for me by the final act. If I could remember it better I might be able to cite specific scenes and moments here, lol.Showgirls is a great film! It was wildly misunderstood. I've always thought that Showgirls is to Footloose what Starship Troopers is to the typical American blockbuster. Both are savage satires on American values from a European outsider. I saw a new print of Showgirls in Paris a few years back as part of a Paul Verhoeven retrospective.
