Writer Joe Esztherhas got the idea to writeShowgirlswhile on vacation in Maui, Hawaii. He scratched the premise down on a napkin, received $2 million for the idea, and another $1.7 when Carolco and United Artist greenlit the project. Despite working with Esztherhas on Basic Instinct three years prior, Paul Verhoeven did not like hisShowgirls script...
To sweeten the deal, Verhoeven only agreed to direct the film under certain conditions. Verhoeven deliberately set out to make an elicit NC-17-rated movieand signed a contract to receive total control over the final cut of the film. This was unheard of at the time, as most filmmakers try to avoid NC-17 ratings from the get go, since the rating is s...
Several high profile actresses were up for the role of Nomi Malone before Verhoeven cast Elizabeth Berkley in the role. Among them include Angelina Jolie, Pamela Anderson, Vanessa Marcil, and Denise Richards. In fact, Jenny McCarthy did so well in her audition that she nearly won the role. However, when producers learned she couldn't dance, she fel...
Charlize Theron also auditioned for the role of Nomi Malone in Showgirls. She reportedly did so well in her audition that she was offered the part. However, she was so incensed by the material that she turned down the movie. Moreover, Charlize Theron immediately fired her agent for sending her on such an audition without informing her of the salaci...
Paul Verhoeven was vehement that his actors stick to the very specific dialogue in the script and refrain from improvising. Verhoeven interviewed several real-life Las Vegas strippersand showgirls and incorporated their lines into the script and wanted the dialogue to remain as authentic as possible. As such, only three improvised lines occur in th...
Paul Verhoeven has often lamented the inclusion of the rape scene in Showgirls, which he admits takes a lot of the fun out of the viewing experience. But apparently, the sequence was inspired by real events. The rape sequence in the film and the culture of Vegas bigwigs absolving those responsible was inspired by a story Esztherhas discovered while...
The sleek image of Elizabeth Berkley revealing a bare leg behind a show-curtain featured on the one-sheet and cover-art of Showgirlswas directly inspired by a real-life photograph.

At the end of Showgirls, Nomi passes a road sign pointing to Los Angeles. This was done to hint at a potential sequel, which Verhoeven and Esztherhas began planning while making the movie. Tentatively titled Bimbos: Nomi Does Los Angeles, the sequel would have explored Nomi's exploits in Hollywood as she tries to break into the movie business. Just...
When Showgirlsgarnered negative buzz upon its initial release, writer Joe Esztherhas resorted to some odd tactics to drum up more business. For instance, he took out a full-page ad in Variety claiming the movie had been falsely advertised as a sex movie despite being a morality tale that just so happened to be centered around sex workers. Eszterhas...
With at least one nomination in every category, Showgirlsset a record (at the time) with 13 Golden Rasberry (RAZZIE) nominations in 1995. In 2000, the film was named Worst Picture of the Decade. When the film swept all major categories to become the most dishonored movie ever made, Paul Verhoeven became the first filmmaker to attend the ceremony an...
