A VSU we've been working on for over a year, and the biggest film yet to grace the line, Paul Verhoeven's cult sensation, feast for the senses, and all around madness, SHOWGIRLS is at last coming to UHD in an edition worthy of its splendor. Featuring hours of archival interviews, BTS material, commentaries, and more, among them plentiful never before seen material. Plus we’ve added a slew of fresh interviews with cast and crew, along with critical pieces examining the production and impact of this landmark film. Furthermore, we’ve performed extensive exclusive restoration using the source files from Paul Verhoeven’s supervised color grade to ensure a presentation which looks exactly as intended, but without any of the digital manipulation which has notoriously plagued other releases..
Nomi Malone will be a star. She knows it. The problem is, no one else does…yet. Fresh to Las Vegas and with no connections, Nomi takes a job as an exotic dancer at a club named Cheetahs. Showing impressive abilities, her talents are quickly noticed by Stardust Casino headlining dancer, Cristal who senses an opportunity to bolster her own act. But Nomi won’t play second fiddle and soon begins her venomous path to the top, ruthlessly backstabbing anyone who gets in her way…however karma has a funny way of catching up as Nomi learns that being a Vegas showgirl has a harder and more brutal edge than she'd ever have imagined...
One of the most controversial, acclaimed, and iconic films directed by the legendary Paul Verhoeven (Total Recall, RoboCop), SHOWGIRLS is a glittering, shocking, tragic, funny, weird, gross, sexy, and staggeringly beautiful epic of what it takes to triumph in show business. Written by Joe Eszterhas (Basic Instinct, Sliver) and starring Elizabeth Berkley (TV's Saved By the Bell), Kyle MacLachlan (Blue Velvet), Gina Gershon (Bound), Robert Davi (Die Hard), and Rena Riffel (Mulholland Drive), SHOWGIRLS is feast for the senses from beginning to end, enhanced further by Jost Vacano’s (Starship Troopers) stunning photography and Peter Morse's spellbinding dance choreography. Vinegar Syndrome Ultra couldn’t be happier to present Paul Verhoeven’s cult masterpiece on 4K UHD, newly restored from Verhoeven’s director approved color graded master, and featuring a consummate selection of interviews and archival materials which at last tell the crazy true story of this one-of-a-kind film!

"One of the best trashy movies ever made, and fortunately enjoying a well-deserved fine treatment from Vinegar Syndrome. I really love this movie and I was glad to get it on Blu-Ray. I only bought the standard edition but the 4k design looks gorgeous too."
"One of Verhoeven's most controversial Film looks terrific in 4K! Can't recommend this release highly enough"
"This film has very rightfully been reappraised, and it might even be better than its new reputation. Alongside LEAVING LAS VEGAS and CASINO, essential texts about a strange city."
"You want to laugh at the most ridiculous overacting you've ever seen and see more boobs than you know what to do with. Well, o have a great view for you 10/10"
"I have numerous copies of this film, but this Vinegar Syndrome release is by far my favorite! I had hoped this would get the magnetic box treatment, but I'm delighted to have this beautiful slipcover. The film speaks for itself. Sure, it got a Razzie award, but that was a sign of rebellion for me. I loved it in the theater and have loved it since. A gay man with a wicked sense of humor recommends this to you, BUY IT! If you don't laugh, get aroused, or shout at the screen, you didn't really watch it, eh?"
"Great packaging and very solid transfer of the film."
"I am not sure if this is a good bad movie or so bad it's good. Regardless, it is extremely entertaining with high production values, great campy dialog, over the top acting, etc."
"A sleazy, dark, often funny classic from Veerhoven, with some amazing performances and a wonderful visual restoration here. The bonus features on the discs are excellent as well!"
"This has been one of my favorite films for YEARS! All of the other transfers were meh. . . The Vinegar Syndrome transfer is absolutely beautiful and PACKED with special features."
"Shipping was swift and arrived in great condition. Amazing transfer packed with special features to sink your teeth into!"
