Either Friday or Next Friday showed someone pooping in a neighbor’s lawn. Since we’ve broadened things, American wedding - Stifler rummages through and eats dog poo. ---

While I have never seen the movie, you can see, if you really want to, R. Lee Ermey take a dump in the movie **Saving Silverman**. ---

> [@Sage Rat](#): > > I also recall a film which faithfully showed a woman peeing–which was a bit surprising as she was just walking about in her panties (hubba hubba) and all of a sudden down went the panties and down went her bum :eek: (timed so nothing was shown though.) Can’t remember the actress nor film though. In _Doc Hollywood_, Michael J. Fox and Julie Warner are wandering around the woods when Warner suddenly “drops trou” and squats in order to contaminate the area around a deer-hunter’s treehouse or whatever to scare off deer who detect the human urine. ---

Bah, all these examples are merely poop simulations. In **Kings of the Road** (probably the best movie Wim Wenders ever made), we actually see actor Rüdiger Vogler take a literal dump out in the desert. Graphic but tasteful (meaning filmed in a simple matter-of-fact way instead of for comedic or sensationalistic effect) and done in one long, single take. ---

Graphic but tasteful (meaning filmed in a simple matter-of-fact way instead of for comedic or sensationalistic effect) and done in one long, single take. You just answered the question I was going to ask, but I’ll take it further–are there any other movies (especially mainstream ones) where we actually see one of the characters pooping? Not that I’m interested in watching or anything, but it always struck me as the last taboo–we’ve seen people vomit, pee, spit blood, blow their noses, and have various kinds of sex, but showing somebody taking a crap is forbidden. ---

One of the characters in _Shaft_, the bad guy I think, is sitting on the toilet at one point and you hear the ‘plop’ sound. There’s lots o’ dino crap in Jurassic Park and sequils. ---

In _French Kiss_, Meg Ryan’s character is enjoying a sumptuous breakfast of fresh fruit and assorted French cheeses on a train trio to Kevin Kline’s character’s home. She is wondering why she never does this in her everyday life. Pretty soon she remembers exactly why: lactose intolerance. ---

> [@marymargaret](#): > > Kingpin has a scene with an old woman pooping after sex. That’s when she yells, “Man, you must have knocked something loose in there!” That same movie features an Amish bowler played by Randy Quaid taking a dump in a urinal. That, my friends, is entertainment 🙂 . ---

_Along Came Poly_ had a great scene with Ben Stiller exploding on the toilet after an mid-eastern dinner. No door on the bathroom, just a curtain I believe, no TP, had to use a family heirloom bathroom towel to “cleanse” himself, then tried to flush it down the toilet and clogged it. All of this while his date is in the other room of a very small studio apartment. Poop humor tears me up, almost to the point of embarassment. This one was a classic. ---

The movie “Jaaberwocky” has a scene of some guy (Michael Palin?) hanging his ass out the window of his house to take a dump. ---

In \*Saving Silverman \* there is a scene where the guys have convinced the Coach that he needs to do his business in the front yard because the bathroom is “broken”. I believe the phrase “pinching off loafs” was used, which I find incredibly funny for some reason. ---

**Robocop**. While Bob Morton is in the bathroom mocking boss Dick Jones with a coworker, it turns out Jones was taking a crap and heard the whole conversation.
