Once sat next to a man on an international flight who watched Showgirls on his in-seat video screen and never recognized her.

You got me. Might have to look around for it! Anyway I preordered this of course. Forgot to mention that last year I saw an Alamo Drafthouse one-off showing of this -- an actual FILM print, and one that was from outside the US as well. Made for a different experience, and I think a couple of changes in dialogue too but I wasn't sure...
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 24 March 2023 19:12 (one year ago) link
I didn't get to see it in the theater in its original run, so it would not surprise me in the slightest if there's an even harder NC-17 version out there that's been quietly swept under the rug (until now).

Honestly the thing that leapt out to me was that I thought other celebrities than Paula Abdul etc were mentioned at one point, in that that spiel comes up a couple of times. But it didn't happen in all cases, which was even weirder!
