Striptease (movie)

Demi Moore plays a mother who loses custody of her child. She needs money to appeal the verdict, so she takes on a job at the Eager Beaver, a local strip club. Congressman Dilbeck (Burt Reynolds) attends the club in disguise one night, becomes fond of Miss Moore, and attacks another member of the audience. A spectator recognises Dilbeck and offers to get her the money she needs by blackmailing Dilbeck. Things do not go according to plan...

It is based on a book by popular Florida crime author Carl Hiaasen. This film showcased Demi Moore's breast enhancement surgery, but the only performance of note was Ving Rhames as the bouncer. The film won 6 Golden Raspberries (Worst Actress, Director, Song, Picture, Screen Couple and Screenplay). It featured a few real life strippers including Pandora Peaks. One of the strippers is called Ariel Sharon.
