I was literally 3 at the time so I have no clue how this movie was received when it came out, but is Showgirls one of the weirdest bombs for a director who was on an absolute all time tear? Verhoeven just came off of directing Robocop, total recall, and basic instinct 3 iconic classics in a row.
I always wondered how a director can make three iconic movies that are still viewed today as all time great and influential movies and then direct one of the worst movies of all time. It's not like he was out of his prime either cause his next movie was Starship Troopers. I'm just curious what the reaction was for the time. I also always felt bad for Elizabeth Berkley because that role had to have been seen as a gigantic get after Saved by the bell got cancelled. I have to imagine she thought she was going to be a megastar.
