interviewee takes responsibility for the broadness of Elizabeth Berkley's performance, and the overall amplification of the movie, examining the Nomi Showgirls" was meant to be campy, but slipped out of control. Boosted by the success of "Basic Instinct," Hollywood wanted another one from Clearly we made mistakes. Clearly it was one of the biggest failures of our time. It failed commercially, critically, it failed on videotape, it failed internationally. . . . In retrospect, part of it was that Paul and I were coming off of Basic, which defied the critics and was a huge success. Maybe there was a certain hubris involved: "We can do what we want to do, go as far out there as we want." That rape scene was a god-awful mistake. In retrospect, a terrible mistake. And musically it was eminently forgettable. And in casting mistakes were made.

Certainly not the worst comic book-to-movie adaptation the world has seen, The Shadow deserves attention for the amount of potential it failed to deliver on. Based on the 1930s radio dramas and pulp magazines, the movie followed a young man who takes to the streets cloaked in darkness, face covered, fedora donned, bringing justice to thugs and mobsters alike - how?

"The idea was to make the same loud, sleazy, bad music that you hear in those Vegas shows, because that's how it actually is,” said Verhoeven. [21] A 'Showgirls' Diary" (10:54, SD) is as close to a genuine piece of production observation as it gets, isolating a few days On June 15, 2010, MGM released a 15th Anniversary "Sinsational Edition" in a two-disc dual-format Blu-ray/DVD edition. [43] The reality is that the critical knives were out for Showgirls from the start. That’s partly due to Verhoeven’s hubris in making an expensive NC-17 epic that reveled in the lurid details that it was being sold as critiquing, but also because the industry media had been gunning for Eszterhas due to his status as the highest-paid screenwriter in Hollywood. He was being set up for a fall, and Showgirls provided the opportunity to push him off the cliff.

She gets Carver alone in his hotel room and beats him severely. Nomi then pays two hospital visits, one to Molly to let her know that Carver's actions did not go unpunished, and another to Cristal to apologize for injuring her. Cristal admits she pulled a similar stunt years ago. Because her lawyers secure her a large cash settlement, Cristal forgives Nomi, and they exchange a kiss. Nomi leaves Las Vegas and hitches a ride to Los Angeles, coincidentally with the same driver who stole her possessions when she arrived, whom she robs at knifepoint.
