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.
