Elizabeth Berkley Movies
A student of dance since she was four, Elizabeth Berkely has been in show business since the age of nine. She got her start in television appearing in over a dozen series, the best-known of which is Saved By the Bell, in which she played proto-feminist high school student Jesse Spano from 1989 to 1991. Berkely made her feature film debut billed as Macrame Girl in the Patrick Swayze/Keanu Reeves vehicle Point Break (1991). In 1995, Berkely gained national notoriety and proved that she had come a long way since Jesse Spano when she played the trashy, determined, and frequently naked lead in the Joe Esterhaz-penned, Paul Verhoeven-directed Showgirls (1995), a glitzy exploitation film that, while one of the year's biggest stinkers, gained popularity on the midnight movie circuit, especially among drag queens. While such negative publicity as was received by Showgirls can be instant death to a budding career, Berkely has continued to appear in films such as The First Wives Club (1996), and such television series' as The L Word and CSI Miami. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

The gang from the popular pre-teen comedy gets together again to celebrate the wedding of long-time couple Kelly and Zack. They decide to tie the knot in Las Vegas, so with the girls in one vehicle and the guys in another they take off. Trouble comes when the boys take a desert short-cut and end up in a backwater jail for speeding. In order to get out, Zack must spend his wedding money. When they get to Vegas, they are flat broke and faced with a dilemma: how can Zack tell Kelly that he can't afford their wedding? In typical Saved by the Bell fashion, conniving Zack simply lies to her until he figures out a way to drum up some more cash. As usual his plan is a disaster and the gang ends up fleeing angry mobsters. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Robots who've been designed to pose as humans find themselves the targets of a murderous maniac in this four-part anime OVA. In the 22nd century, the planet Mars has been colonized by the Earth, with most of the manual labor being performed by androids. Among the android population are unusual creations called "thirds," which are almost impossible to distinguish from human females. A madman, Ross D'Anclaude, has developed a passionate hatred for the "thirds" and has set out to destroy as many as he can, so Martian law enforcement authorities put two of their best detectives on the case, Ross Sylibus and Naomi Armitage. But both bring their own personal baggage to the case -- Ross distrusts robots after his former partner was killed by an android, while Naomi is herself a "third." For the English-dubbed version of Armitage III available in the United States, the voice of Ross Sylibus was dubbed by Kiefer Sutherland, while Elizabeth Berkley performs the voice of Naomi Armitage. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
