Showgirls 2 Trailer… Seriously.
Showgirls, despite being a horrible trainwreck, has gained cult status since it sank Paul Verhoeven’s career back in the mid-1990s. After years and years of wishing, hoping, and praying, a sequel has finally come to fruition, called Showgirls: The Return.
A few warnings before you watch it: it is definitely NOT suitable for work, it’s about five minutes long, and it may cause violence on your part. Up to the challenge? Trailer and my thoughts after the jump.
If you are now reading this, you have watched the trailer so I’m not spoiling anything. When I heard that there was a second Showgirls, I was a quarter intrigued and three-quarters stupified. To be fair, the only reason the first movie is even talked about in any sort of positive light is because of how bad it was and I assumed that whoever was dumb enough to make a sequel would make it horrible on purpose and it would turn out even worse. Showgirls: The Return is nothing like that. Nothing even close. Nothing even… I don’t know what the hell it is, all I know is that what I just watched cannot be classified as a real movie. It starts with a naked woman getting bashed in the head with a dumbbell, then a bunch of random shots of Las Vegas, with the same stupid song playing over and over while no dialogue happens and…ugh. Just straight up ugh. Normally, I love horrible movies, but this is Andre: Heart of a Giant level of bad where it’s not even close to being funny, it’s more embarrassing.
I have no idea when this comes out, but please do yourself a favor and avoid it by any means necessary. Nothing good can come of it. What do you think FilmJunkers?

Wow. I barely made it through that trailer. Are you absolutely sure it is meant to be a sequel to “Showgirls” though? That was f-ing painful. It looked like one of those over-produced vivid video porn flicks, but with crappier production value.
Posted by MikeInSacramento on March 8th, 2010Are you sure this even real? Everything about it seems to me like it’s a joke by some random guy on YouTube…. Who would pay for this?
Posted by Billy Boyd Cape on March 8th, 2010It looks like it was made by a porno production company. Anyone can name a film or a book anything they want. Finding Ryan’s Privates wasn’t a sequel to a Spielberg WWII movie starring that guy from Bosom Buddies and the Burbs.
Posted by Duke Togo on March 8th, 2010It looks like it could be on the same level of quality as The Room. Probably not the same level of fun though.
Posted by JamieCakes on March 8th, 2010Apparently this project is real, but who knows if it will ever actually get released. It’s supposedly being directed by a guy named Marc Vorlander, but I don’t know if it has any connection to the original really.

The project IS real – I interviewed director Marc Vorlander. The film’s website currently is the most clicked movie-related website in the world … You can read the interview here:

Posted by Stefan on March 8th, 2010They’re playing it fast and loose with the term “motion picture.” That looks like it was shot on a Handycam and edited on an Amiga.
Posted by Brendan on March 8th, 2010This looks like the most awful thing ever. And I watched ANTI-CHRIST last night.

no pun intended
Posted by rick on March 8th, 2010Finally a movie for real film fans, I say that cause you’d have to really love films in order to watch this so you can have a valid opinion on it. Bit seriously who doesn’t like titties
Posted by Drewsifer on March 8th, 2010This is fake I call shenanigans
Posted by Drewsifer on March 8th, 2010There’s no way this can possibly be real. The fact that not a single person of the original is related to this at all, the incredibly amateurish trailer (for what’s supposed to be a motion picture), the shameless nudity (is this even allowed in youtube or will it be pulled down), also further look into the youtube video shows it’s a video from a complete unknown individual, NOT a legitimate channel for studios or film trailers.
Posted by Steve on March 9th, 2010hey this is a family website, there are children like Reed present!
Posted by rus in chicago on March 9th, 2010Watching this made me vomit a little bit in my mouth.
Posted by HFD on March 9th, 2010I actually bought the fancy box set for Showgirls for something like $6.99 brand spanking new. I must admit that the box advertised some interesting included swag like the shot glasses. But I was mightily disappointed with the cheap sleep mask and breast tassels.
BTW, I skipped watching the Showgirls 2 trailer. I’m not going to fall for a sleazy ruse.
Posted by Reed Farrington on March 9th, 2010This…I pray…has to be a joke. No studio in the world would spend money on this crap.
