Showgirls has the reputation of being both awful and one of those films that some enjoy in a so-bad-it’s-good way. But one thing no one really expected the 1995 Paul Verhoeven/Joe Eszterhas exercise in excess to generate was any sort of sequel. But someone has! Featuring all sorts of Very Not Safe For Work Imagery.
That someone is filmmaker – based on the trailer, we use the term very, very loosely – Marc Vorlander, and he’s launched a site that features an extended promo for Showgirls: The Return that’s flash-based, with seemingly no way to make it pause (or turn off, short of closing the window) and leaves us utterly baffled.
Vorlander pitched his concept last year, claiming he was going to focus his new film on a minor character (Hope, played by Rena Riffel) from the original. It’s impossible to tell based on the sleaze-tastic show reel on display here whether that’s still the case, so who knows? It could be that someone has actually made a *worse *Showgirls film than the original...
Again, the trailer’s loaded with boobs and a lady being inexplicably hit with a dumbbell, so watch at your peril. Oh, and thanks to The Playlist for the spot and for making us throw up in our mouths a little.
