Cast and Crew of Showgirls

Showgirls

Showgirls was released in 1995 and directed by Paul Verhoeven. Upon its release, it was met with overwhelmingly negative reviews, criticized for its over-the-top performances, lurid content, and campy dialogue. It was a commercial failure and received numerous Razzie Awards. Elizabeth Berkley and Gina Gershon starred as Nomi Malone and Cristal Connors, respectively. However, over time, Showgirls has developed a cult following and is now considered a cult classic. Audiences have embraced its campy excesses and flamboyant style, often enjoying it ironically or as a midnight movie favorite. While still divisive, it is no longer viewed simply as a failure but rather as an iconic piece of 'so bad it's good' cinema.
