I checked, and you’re right, but I’m still not going to believe it. 
It just seems way too…stupid, I guess is the word.

Now this is one apparently everybody else in the world knew about, and I didn’t; so it came as a surprise. But I had been on a small isolated tropical island for two years so I was a bit out of it.
I went in to a movie house in Bern, Switzerland where a Brando film was showing. I figured, “Brando, good actor, with the title maybe a war movie or something.”
It was Last Tango in Paris. I was not ready for the bathing scene. I not sure I am to this day. That was just so wrong and so weird. As I said, probably everyone else in the entire world but me was ready for it, but I certainly wasn’t.
One doesn’t even have the luxury of washing it out of your mind, just thinking about washing brings it back again and again.
How do we get this far in this thread and not one mention of Dirk Digglers Dong? I mean yeah, Boggie Nights was a movie about the porn industry in the 70’s early 80’s but man. You go through all the jacked up stuff that happens to these people, and you’re an hour and half past the last naked on screen boob and all wraped up in these peoples lives and BAM! Giant man dong on screen. Oh yeah, then the movie ends. talk about unexpected.
IIRC this scene caused it to be rated R in the States, and I wonder if it was worth it, for the people who may have missed seeing it solely because of the rating- its not like the scene was important to the film.
I’m sure in France nobody gave it a second thought, as well they shouldn’t, but it could have easily been trimmed for the US audience.
Did they actually show his penis where you are? Because the version I saw had the black bar blocking it- in this case, though, censorship was a good thing
Another vote for Broken Flowers. I saw it for the first time last week, and nobody had spoiled that bit for me. Gosh. So wrong, yet so right…
I guess the inserted images in “Fight Club” don’t really count as scenes, but I’ve always wondered what they were meant to accomplish.
Could be. I was watching the boobies.
Thinking about it, the shower scene in the Coming Attractions section of Kentucky Fried Movie was a fun surprise.
Borat’s “Little Borat” was blocked (although from the size of the bar, Borat should have had serious balance problems), but unless his gut was covering it most of the time his really fat manager guy was hanging out there quite a bit.
Yay!

Yup, and Bill Murray’s line a later scene is just priceless, “That was quite the little outfit you weren’t wearing earlier.”
Of course, in the story that is rather the point (in that his character is not expecting to be seen, either).
I had forgotten about this one. My first thought was “OMG! This is a movie my mom can rent from Blockbuster, fercryinoutloud!” :eek:
Is there any significant number of people who actually don’t see a film solely based on its R rating? My understanding is that filmmakers do their best to get an R rating, because it draws larger audiences. My impression of the rating system in this country is that it’s pretty much a joke and serves only to impose censorship of mostly sexual situations on filmmakers.
Yes, I could have gone to my grave without seeing a nude Ken Davitian in BORAT, but I think the main reason they black-barred Sasha’s naughty bits was that he’s Jewish and it would have been odd for Borat himself to have been…altered like that. 
A shame, looks like it would have been a nice sight.
My biggest shock was Frank Langella’s bouncing nutsack in Lolita. Eek.
Oh, I also forgot - what was that Viggo Mortenson movie? A History of Violence, that’s it. There was some downright raunchy, filthy, dirty sex there - even some heavily implied oral and some hot stuff on the stairs.
We cracked up because 90% of our movie watching is action or sci-fi, so we have no problems watching heads get blown off or aliens ripping bits off but real dirty sex made us a little squeamish.
But it was hot.
I’ve known quite a few people who won’t watch an R rated movie.
I grew up Mormon (and lived in Utah for over a decade). It’s an openly taught Church guideline for at least those 5 million Americans.
The nude Emma Thompson scene in Peter’s Friends, that I remember, goes like this:
Emma’s character wants a child, (since this is a rip-off of The Big Chill) Kenneth hears a knock on his door, late at night, he opens it and there is Emma, nude, and she screams, “FILL ME WITH YOUR LITTLE BABIES!”, penis does not ensue.
In The Tall Guy, Jeff Goldblum asks her out on a date. When he shows up to take her to dinner, she says that first, they should go in inside and have sex, so that the idea of sex doesn’t cloud the date. (or something like that) The go inside and proceed to have a long, very boisterous, sex session.
But Frank Langella in Lolita was the worst, for me at least.
