TRUE STORY: I saw this at a theater in 1995. After Molly's rape and her hospitalization, the doctor who examined her solemnly told Nomi and the others, "There's been a vaginal tear." Someone in the very small crowd then angrily screamed out, "This MOVIE is a VAGINAL TEAR!!!!" The few people present burst out laughing.

I like to imagine this as a spin-off/crossover of Saved by the Bell and Twin Peaks. After graduating from Bayside, Jessie relapsed on caffeine pills and it got so bad that she fled to Vegas, changed her name and became a prostitute to feed her crippling addiction. So throughout half the movie she's hopped up on Red Bull and energy tablets, which explains why she flies off the handle so often, why her actions seem so erratic and unfocused, and why she dances like an electrocuted dead squid. Likewise, Kyle McLaughlin's character is actually Dale Cooper working undercover, trying to stack as much evidence as he can against the rapist he's pretending to protect. And since this is a secret David Lynch production, it explains why no one has a consistent personality.

Most Americans of Italian descent don't know how to correctly pronunce a single word in Italian although they think they do and proceed to butcher the few terms they have heard at home (which 9 times out of 10 are not even actual Italian to begin with, but some dialect from Southern Italy). As an aside, "Nomi" is not an Italian name and I don't think it is a real name in any part of the Western world: the closest name used in Italy is "Noemi", which is the equivalent to "Naomi".

The rape scene was to remind us that in Las Vegas, the house always wins. This movie is not going to have a happy ending because that is what we are taught to expect in movies. The inane and unrealistic expectations that Nomi will win it all at the end. Indeed it is an exercising of power. Even as a star, Nomi was essentially as powerless as when she was pole dancing at the Cheetahs and Molly was deluded to think she had any leverage by association with Nomi.

You could've just used the censored cut. They tried to CGI-add bikinis on all the actresses, and in one scene used a full CG woman. It looks AWFUL. Hovering crayon Bikinis and a woman more off-shape than the early Lara Crofts.

It's hard to explain if you weren't around, but especially since it aired exclusively on Saturday mornings, next to, mostly cartoons and other shows specifically promoted to and made for kids, as opposed to airing in Primetime or even a later afternoon/evening syndicated spot, nobody who was around at that time, would've thought of it as a sitcom. Not in the same way that, say-eh, what were the big sitcoms at that time, um, say "Cheers" or "Murphy Brown", or "Roseanne", or "Friends", etc. etc. Even something like "Full House", because it was on in Primetime, was thought of higher; that was a "family sitcom", and not a kids show. Only now, after there's been dozens of other shows that came out after "Saved..." that were promoted or aired similarly would people look at the show and think sitcom, but back then, people would think of it in the same category as like, "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" or-eh, something like that. In those days, such distinctions mattered a lot more. Nobody back then would think "Saved By the Bell" and think "Sitcom" or vice-versa.

Showgirls is one of my guilty pleasures. I love this movie!

The 90's were victorian compared to the late 70's, early 80's. Check out Paradise, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Private Lessons, My Tutor and the entire Emmanuelle movie franchise just as an example. Then there are European movies of the same era, With those movies clothes free is the theme.

Finally! Been waiting for Sean to review this forever! lol

Yes!! I've been waiting for this one since you started reviewing the Razzie winners 🍿❤

19:32 Thank you so much for saying that to those scenes from Showgirls and Jurassic World, Sean.

I legit love this movie. I think this movie does exactly what a movie is supposed to do...it keeps you entertained. No matter how many times I watch it I am in it.

Hearing you review this was a joy to watch. XD

Nomi being thin despite the food she eats isn't strange at all. She's very young and she's a dancer. You know how many calories you burn dancing? Holly Madison mentioned in her memoir when she did her burlesque show (in Las Vegas of all places) she danced a lot and said she was in the best shape of her life, despite eating lots of junk food. So that's not strange at all. But while she's thin, that doesn't mean she's healthy, so that's why she was instructed to eat healthier foods.

Cocaine's a hell of a drug.

I drove by that strip joint when I lived in Vegas in 2019. I was so shocked because I didn't realize it was real AND still in business lol Also regarding that one r*pe scene, Molly probably would've slept with the singer yes. Not his entire entourage! That's why she fought back.

Damn, this is the first time in years you actually popped up in my feed. So much to catch up on, good to be back.

I expected a cut to the "Everyone Has AIDS" song from Team America at 12:38 or so...

Actually Sean I do have a question: when you reach the worst picture where you've already covered are you going to skip them or make a new review of them?

Since he already went ahead and re-reviewed “Cocktail,” I’m gonna guess the answer is yes, albeit with a bigger emphasis on the Razzies themselves sprinkled in with any opinions that may have changed over time. :)

It only earned $38 million at the box office but it generated well over $100 million in rentals. Even Tarantino said this movie had a lot of redeeming value in terms of exploitation cinema!

Just wondering if anyone knows where I can watch his review of The Host? For some reason it’s been blocked in the US and I can’t figure out a country where it’s not blocked to be able to watch it using my VPN.

A fantastic and funny analysis as always Sean @cinematicexcrement. Keep the reviews of the worst that Hollywood has to offer coming ;)
