The Greatest Movie of All Time gets the Greatest DVD of All Time? A day that will go down in infamy, on July 27th MGM Home Entertainment will release the Showgirls: V.I.P. Edition, a deluxe box set unlike any other. Featuring the NC-17 cut of the film presented in a new anamorphic widescreen transfer and Dolby Digital 5.1 surround track, extras include an audio commentary by Showgirls expert David Schmader, a video commentary by the Scores Girls for the "Cheetah Club" scene, a subtitle trivia track, an animated storyboard-to-film comparison, the original making-of EPK and theatrical trailers. Other extras in the box set include a deck of Showgirls playing cards, two Showgirls shot glasses, Elizabeth Berkley photo cards and a series of party games: "Sip or Strip," "Showgirls A-Z," "Bad Tipper" and "Champagne Room." Predictably, none of the film's original cast or filmmakers have participated in the extras (nope, no Paul Verhoeven, Gina Gershon or Berkley). Retail will be $39.95.
