Who else realized they were bisexual watching this movie ? š„
I love his fun, take-it-on-the-chin response as opposed to Coppola’s unhinged response that basically painted himself as the greatest artist whoever lived and the audience as morons.

I love when Razzie nominees do this! It shows such good character, I think, if you can take the piss out of yourself. Especially in Hollywood! Loved when Halle Berry gave an impassioned, emotional speech accepting her Razzie.
Of course he did. King of satire.
The Dutch directness helps in giving and taking criticism.

RoboCop and Starship Troopers more relevant than ever in the US
Thank you Mr. N-Wordhoeven…
Is the movie ***really*** that bad compared to others?
Everyone is hating, and though itās not āThe Godfatherā or āGone With The Windā I donāt think Iāve ever turned it off! ššš»
That is class
This makes me want to watch all of his movies.
Where do they hold these at an airport Hilton?
Did this help him to get more opportunities at the chair? As far as I can tell he didnāt have to spend much time in Director Jail for such a huge flop. Genuinely asking
Dude is a fucking legend. You make 1 Robocop or Starship Troopers or Total Recall, you can make absolute drek for the rest of your career.
Good sport, I always appreciate a great sense of humour.
Showgirls is true fucking cinema and is being remembered fondly these days, as it should be. My dude Paul Verhoeven was always ahead of the curve.
The sex scenes still give me whiplash
It’s a camp classic nowadays.
Sooner or later youāre gonna have to sell it!
Good for him! Showhgirls is incredible and misunderstood as hell
He really seems like a cool guy.
The guy directed Robocop so heās forgiven.
Showgirls is a cult classic, Verhoeven is GOATED.
