If you watch it as a comedy, it's fantastic.

My dad had it on VHS back when I was in my early teens.

I've definitely watched scenes from it, although I don't think I've ever watched it all the way through.

Admittedly I watched it to see more of "Jessie"

Only ever watched it once. Poor movie.

Other than the T&A factor, the movie is pretty unremarkable. If you can stick around to the end, theres a good scene where Paul Atreides busts her Pretty Woman fairy tale fantasy bubble.

A few times yes, mostly on TV. I'm amused by the TV edit that's made for the scene with Nomi in Andrew Carver's hotel room where they very poorly animate her outfit back over her when she's kicking his ass topless.

Yeah no, she's awful. For whatever reason I think the first half hour is pure suffering but after that it turns into a very good movie. I was honestly surprised how much it held my attention and the sex scenes are completely fucking bonkers along with the insane tonal whiplash through the movie. I like it though, the cast is insane, there's more than a few funny moments and it is just untethered as far as the many strange twists the story takes.

I think it would be a fun movie to air in theaters ala the Room or Rocky Horror if it wasn't for the gang rape scene.

I sped read that mostly catching only the fish flopping around on a part of what you said, and at first thought you were talking about a different scene later on in the movie.

You could easily do a dream headcannon. She smashes Molly's car, claws at her, pukes in front of her, then they become friends. She assaults james, but he bails her out. There are some other things I remember, but I've only seen it once. Her actions don't match what would happen in the real world. She's mean as shit, but everyone wants to instantly be her friend. And you got the stuff that doesn't even make sense, like the Doggy Chow or chimps. It's just so fucking weird

People don't give it enough credit. Think of it as Robocop, but with sex instead of violence.

Something like that. In the new series that came out a couple years ago, Jesse does a stripper routine. Kelly and Lisa are shocked and ask how she learned that. She explains she had a wild time in Vegas some years ago and references events from this movie.

If you try to take the movie seriously, then it's awful.

If you look at it as a comedy (which, knowing Verhoeven's work, is probably the case), it's entertaining as hell.

I've seen parts of it and couldn't make it to the end.

In '95 Berkley was still riding on Saved by the Bell's popularity. She doesn't seem to be silver screen material and her career didn't do much afterwards.
