I nominate Snakeater starring Lorenzo Lamas. At the beginning of the movie our hero Lamas “seduces” a woman. When she removes her coat we can see a large scar starting just below her neck, running between her breasts, and ending just below her sternum. I’m sure they could have found a woman who hadn’t had open heart surgery to do a nude scene. On the other hand it was a pretty low budget movie. Marc ---

I was propmaster on a crappy erotic thriller called **Night Eyes IV** (if you didn’t see the first three, not to worry; I’m sure you can catch up with the subtle plot twists). It starred Paula Barbieri, who you may or may not remember as the then-girlfriend of O.J. (and this was shot when that whole deal was taking place). Her character had a few nude scenes in the film, but she used body doubles, so it’s not actually her getting nekkid. The reason I think the scenes are so bad (actually more ‘funny’ than ‘bad’) is that they used two different body doubles for her in different nude scenes… and not only did the body doubles have vastly different body types than Paula did, they had vastly different body types from _each other_. So, her boobs appear to grow and then shrink and then grow again during the course of the film, as does the size of her hips. It’s really pretty funny. Oh, and if you manage to make it all the way through the film (I apologize, if you even attempt it), during one of the final scenes, the aftermath-of-the-crime scene, when the paramedics are wheeling away the corpse… that’s me on the stretcher, inside the bodybag. Cameo! ---

**Ghost Story** - Fred Astaire’s last film. Horror movie - not too bad. But the nude scene… A man (not Fred) falls backward out of a VERY tall building… Naked - and you see Mr. Frisky wiggle ALLLLLLLLLL the way down. Not the best use of full frontal male nudity. ---

Burgess Meredith, nude except for a strategically placed covering in **Such Good Friends**. OTOH, Dyan Cannon, who shoulda been nude in that movie, wasn’t. Even the nude photo of her was basically a cut-and-paste. ---

Granted it was a funny scene in a funny movie, but Emma Thompson’s breasts in _The Tall Guy_ were frighteningly ugly. Syn DeVil and John Michaelson in a vampire love scene from a straight-to-video horror flick called _Stakes_. Her breast implants must be filled with helium and he’s not built much better than I am (flabby with the muscle tone of a jelly fish). Scarry scene to watch, but not intended to be. ---

The hot tub scene in **About Schmidt**. . . it involved a nude Kathy Bates. I’d say that’s worse than any of the Golden Girls. [Airheads]Whoa… is that Bea Arthur?[/Airheads] ---
