As well as a big "up yours" by screenwriter Joe Eszterhas, who was reportedly paid three million dollars to write this colossal turd. Showgirls is what Hollywood types call a "high concept" picture -- the high concept being All About Eve with tits.I'm fairly sure that Showgirls was a big practical joke by Verhoeven. he may like to roll around in the shit with his movies, but he's certainly no fool.
There's not doubt that Verhoeven made that film with his tongue firmly planted in his cheek...amongst other places it may have been planted.
