When we reported last fall that unknown filmmaker Marc Vorlander had developed a sequel, and managed to raise $25 million to shoot a sequel to Paul Verhoeven’s infamously terrible “Showgirls,” we frankly didn’t believe it.
Well, he may not have got the $25 million (it looks more like $25 and shot on a cellphone), but Vorlander now has a trailer for “Showgirls 2” and it sort of has to be seen to be believed. Warning, it’s NSFW and incredibly bad, but we’ll probably see it, if for anything out of gross curiosity. At its best moments it looks like one of those “Emmanuelle” movies, as if it were shot by David Lynch, but then by the end the actors start talking and it quickly spirals into a D-level atrocity.
Vorlander said he wanted Rena Riffel from the original to star, but by the looks of it, she’s not in this. The plot, which can easily be gleaned from the trailer, is (roughly translated) about “a stripper who died from a dose of contaminated cocaine. Her brother comes to Frankfurt to find the person responsible and get revenge.” We’re just still trying to figure out what that dumbbell scene was about, and what the skulls were for and frankly what the hell was going on for most of this.
Btw, we grabbed the screenshot from these guys who have a couple more in addition to Movieline’s.
stunning. Nothing less than stunning. If that cost 25 million dollars… I mean jesus I hope that didnt cost 25 million dollars.
A better idea for a sequel would have been:
After leaving Vegas, Nomi Malone hitchhikes her way to Washington DC and quickly gets embroiled in the seedy sexual underbelly of politics. Nomi enjoys the perks of being a call girl to the rich and powerful. But when a powerful congressman is found beheaded and castrated, Nomi is framed, and she must find the real killer and clear her name. While searching for the killer, Nomi uncovers a vast conspiracy, which puts her life in mortal danger.
There would be a lot of nudity though.
AAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! God awful. But what would one expect?
the crawling around was somewhat hot and steeped in cinema
you're too snub! LOL
@RER:too awesome
Wow.
Late night HBO porn?
'Showgirls 2', lol. Terrible. Next thing you know they'll be doing a new 'Three Men And A Lady'. Oh wait, they are.

bring back gina gershon and paul verhoven or let the best film of the 90s rest in peace
come on — it's fan made — all the stock footage?
This fills me with a special kind of dread. Not only because the first one was so bad, but I set myself the challenge of watching it 5 times back to back (which I succeeded, and you can read about here : http://sam-site.com/?page_id=72 – honestly not spam).
Needless to say, with the arrival of a new Showgirls I'll have to kill more braincells watching it repeatedly…
