At the Time that " SHOWGIRLS" first came out into Movie Theaters, I wonder just exactly how many people that there really were that were totally surprised by Elizabeth Berkley's Role and Performance in the Movie when all that just about everybody (at the time) had seen of her before was her on the TV show " SAVED BY THE BELL".  |

I saw it in 2005 so (I was like 17 at the time) and actually never seen an episode of Saved By the Bell until 2007 so for me I knew her from Showgirls first. She was sexy in it but not exactly the greatest actress.

I just remember that it was the boldest choice of role for any young 80s/90s sitcom star. That's unlikely to be surpassed. She was so proud of her role and the movie... until the reviews came, and the box office sank.
She's safely in a tie with Mario Lopez in the post-"Saved By The Bell" career comparison, behind Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Tiffani Theissen.

If you watch some of their most recent interviews in which they talk about " SHOWGIRLS", I actually think that both Elizabeth Berkley and Gina Gershon are Happy Now about that Film just based on the fact that a lot of people are still to this day talking about it. |

What does everybody else here think ? Just like a previous poster wrote, I watches SG first out of a curiosity to see what made it so infamous. Only thing I really like are the topless/nude scenes. Other than that, whatever. I tried watching Bell for the first time a few weeks ago and just couldn't. I don't think I even gave it a minute and am left wondering why it was so popular. I sorta feel bad for the guy who played Screech because that is all he is ever known for and no one knows his real name. He makes a cameo in the movie Made who gets into a night club and the main guys are freaking out. "You let Screech in but not us!" |

An okay film. I have the bluray and saw it when it aired on cable back in the day, but didn't see it theatrically. I was a big fan of Saved by the Bell since the cast was only a year or so (more or less) older than me. I even remember watching it when it was Good Morning Ms. Bliss. Although, the Elizabeth Berkley character wasn't in that iteration (only Zach, Lisa, and Screech).
Definitely a bold mood for Ms. Berkley at the time. I think she was trying to break out of her Saved by the Bell character. It was something every teenaged boy (and college aged boy) dreamed of back during the Bell years... I always preferred Jessie to Kelly anyways. Slater had better taste, that's for sure. Plus, she was with Gina Gershon which is always a plus.
BTW, anybody in the 1990's remembered Screech's real name if they were Beastie Boys fans. There used to be an urban legend (when it was hard to disprove those things, i.e. pre-internet) that Screech, aka Dustin Diamond was related to the BB's Mike D, aka Michael Diamond. Fun stuff!

Excuse me for getting off-topic, but I just wanted to say how it seems like a tie between Screech (Dustin Diamond) and Mr. Belding (Dennis Haskins) for a "Saved by the Bell" actor who will pretty much be just known for their role on the show and little-to-nothing else in their career. I think they sometimes have it worse than, say, actors from "Star Trek" when it comes to an actor/actress being typecast because of a famous role they've done for a TV show/film.

It's pretty common for child/teen stars to do sexy stuff when they're older in order to change their image, so it wasn't shocking at all.

She knocked it out the park. Where's Tiffany Amber Thiessen?

I wonder what Showgirls starring Tiffani Amber Thiessen would have been like. She's cuter and more innocent looking.

My uncle saw Showgirls in theaters in 1995 and rented it on VHS several months later. My cousin was dying to see Elizabeth Berkley naked. I watched it along with him (awkward now that I think about it) but we had a good laugh at how terrible the acting was at the time.
I remember him making a copy and telling me he switched the tapes in the VCR when the teacher stepped out momentarily during an English class.
I would have loved to see the reaction on everybody's faces.

She was upstaged by Gina Gershon, Robert Davi, and even the guy from L. A. Law.

I wanted to be on the receiving end of the face-kicking she gave that guy.
