Yes, you read that headline correctly, there is now a movie trailer online for Showgirls 2: The Return.
Watch the trailer now at www.showgirls2.com and thank me later. But be forewarned, this is totally NSFW from the get-go AND there’s no way to pause the video, so you gotta get all that Showgirls sequel goodness in one shot (no pun intended).
Yes, this is the upcoming sequel to the 1995 bomb Showgirls, which starred Saved By The Bell‘s Elizabeth Berkley in her most controversial role as a dancer who claws — and shoves — her way to the top of the Las Vegas showgirls scene. And who’s bright idea was it to make this sequel? Some bloke named Marc Vorlander, who managed to get $25 million in financing.
The trailer — which has I think only one spoken word in it and I couldn’t even tell you what that word was and I had to watch this thing three times – wait, make that four, I just missed the spelling of the director’s name! — brings back all that softcore lesbian action from the first movie, set against what sounds like a rip off of the recognizable Halloween score. We go from naked women, to naked dancing women, to naked women having sex with each other in what looks like a Red Shoe Diaries moment. Just when you think you understand what this movie’s about (naked women), it turns into Scarface meets David Lynch in Mulholland Drive 2 and fuck if I know what the hell is going on. And if it’s “the return” why does it look like a poorly lit low-budget movie from the 1970s with Tron title credits?
Do I even care? Umm… no. Whatever this movie is, its trailer makes the original Showgirls look like Chicago.
Model/actress Rena Riffel reprises her role as Hope (a minor character in the original), but no other word yet on casting or release date; the film hasn’t even made it onto IMDB and there’s no evidence so far to suggest that is this NOT a softcorn porn. Only time will tell.
Don’t thank me for this story, thank /Film via Movieline, originating from the German website Extratipp which was translated [for some reason] back in October by Joblo, who revealed the film is “about stripper who died from a dose of contaminated cocaine. Her brother comes to Frankfurt to find the responsible and revenge.” I’m just paying it forward.
………………………………..
That is all I have to say.

This should be called “PornGirls”. The trailer is just BAD. I agree with you, why on earth would anyone make a sequel if you can call it that of a film that was BAD to begin with? Oh well – I suppose the film maker is desperate or insane.

Was there something wrong with the streaming? that was just awful. I killed it as soon as I saw nipple. This is worse than Devastator having balls.

Your 4th paragraph summed up everything my roommate and I said about the trailer. I’m still thinking, WTF?!
But you watched that trailer 3 or 4 times? Once was good enough for me. My brain hurts now.

@BAT
Well, I had just had my wisdom teeth pulled and was on strong pain meds, so I was quite impaired. I kept looking away and missing parts, and since you couldn’t pause it, I had to watch it more than once. Luckily, I can’t barely remember what I watched, thanks to the drunks. But, apparently, I made a strong impact on me last night, lol.
