Don't bother-- get the Special Edition DVD (aka "Fully Exposed Edition") with the David Schmader audio track. He's apparently a semi-regular on the Daily Show or some such national venue, but back in Showgirls' day, he was (actually still is) a writer for Seattle's alt-weekly, "The Stranger," and he put on a show wherein he would stand on stage while the audience watched Showgirls projected beside/behind him, and he'd add his commentary, called "The Greatest Movie Ever Made."

Apparently the producers of the DVD had figured out that the watching-it-ironically crowd would be at least as big as the hey-this-looks-good-cuz-it-has-a-naked-girl-on-the-cover crowd, and hired him to do his commentary on the DVD.

It transforms the terrible drama into an excellent comedy.
