Build-up  2 Kissing  4 Love scenes  Movie overall  1

Elizabeth Berkley comes to Las Vegas and gets a job at a sleazy strip-club but is soon "discovered" by the owner of the classiest nude dance cabaret in town. She begins to rehearse for the show and there she meets the star of the cabaret, Gina Gershon.

Actresses:
Elizabeth Berkley & Rena Riffel


Berkley is up on stage dancing with Riffel. The dance is pretty full on! You see Berkley strip Riffel's panties, and then get stripped herself. The dance conludes when they start grinding each other while holding onto a pole.

Actresses:
Mason Marconi (a.k.a. Amber Herrel) & unknown


Marconi and another dancer french-kiss each during their performance.

Actresses:
Gina Gershon & Elizabeth Berkley


Gershon and Berkley are rehearsing their dance routine one night when Gershon comes onto Berkley in the middle of it. She looks into her eyes and they stop dancing. Gershon almost rips off Berkley's bra and then touches her breasts. Finally they are about to kiss each other but a rather stupid comment from Gershon makes Berkley run away.

Actresses:
Gina Gershon & Elizabeth Berkley


Gershon, in Hospital-bed after an assault by Berkley, is being visited by Berkley who is going to quit the show and leave Las Vegas. Gershon asks Berkley just before she's gonna leave the room if she can have a goodbye-kiss. Berkley comes forward to the bed and leans over Gershon and they kiss. Gershon is really enjoying the kiss but when she tries to lay her hand on the back of Berkley's head, Berkley ends the kiss and walks out of the room.

This is certainly one of the worst movies ever produced but the last kiss is really great.

Actually the kissing scenes were pretty well, very beautiful actresses and a nice build-up. But that couldn't save the movie at all...

This movie was probably the biggest disappointment to any lesbian scene-loving moviegoer. The way the media portrayed this movie when it came out, you'd have thought Elizabeth Berkeley and Gina Gershon would have been having explicit oral sex throughout most of the movie. The media made it seem as if there was a little bit of bad plot interspersed between explicit lesbian oral sex scenes.
I know that everyone who saw this movie hoping to see the beautiful former Saved By The Bell star Elizabeth Berekely making love to a host of strippers was as disappointed as I was. Every time you thought there was about to be a beautiful moment between Berkeley and Gershon's characters, Gershon would say or do something to completely ruin it. Hell, you could see the disappointment on BERKELEY'S face.
If the DVD had any deleted lesbian love scenes, it could be salvagable, but last I saw, it didn't.

A very bad film to say the least, but after watching Saved By The Bell for years, i am sure we all wanted to see Elizabeth Berkley naked. That said, it does little to redeem the film itself.
Anyway, onto Gina and Elizabeth in the film. Throughout most of the film they tease each other mercifully which leads to the only real kiss that is worth mentioning, I think. Liz trips up Gina and breaks her leg, which puts her in hospital, thereby getting herslf, the leading role in the showgirls production. She later goes to visit Gina in hospital, and they talk a little, before Elizabeth eventually leans in and kisses her before she leaves. The kiss itself was soft and sensual and looked like the two ladies definitely enjoyed it, so it was at least something to appreciate from a very poor movie overall.
