Thanks TVeblen and Pokey, now I don’t feel so bad for giggling. However, now the problem is I am going to hear sound effects like “whumpeta, whumpeta” and “boing, boing, boing” every time I think of that and I will giggle even more. ---

There was an HBO movie, _Gulag_, made back in the mid 80’s. David Keith played an American reporter who was falsely accused of being a spy while working in the Soviet Union and was sentenced to imprisonment in a labor camp. He and Malcolm MacDowell, playing an English spy, eventually escape and make it back to freedom. Now you might guess a movie with this plot offers few opportunities for featuring attractive women naked. But don’t underestimate HBO. In order to show how much Keith was missing his home they showed him having a dream of his wife taking a shower. ---

There was a “Shaka Zulu”-type movie featuring a black American actress as one of the topless Zulu women. She was quite beautiful, but didn’t have “movie” breasts (She had low nipples pointing straight down). In real life I’d be unimaginably lucky to hook up with such a beautiful woman, but in the context of movie nudity, she just looked awkward and funny. I, incidentally, am quite far from being an Adonis, FWIW. ---

In the movie “Total Eclipse,” Leonardo DiCaprio has a full frontal nude shot that I find hilarious. It was just so… small. ---

The in-disguise Uther having his way with Igrayne in _Excalibur_ is a riot. I mean, c’mon. In full plate-mail? Talk about some major chafing. ---

> [@DanBlather](#): > > It was the “making ends meet” that reminded me of “bumping butts together”. Geez, I need to recalibrate my pun-parsing peripheral – I missed that and guffawed at “check to check” - the American spelling looks like “cheek to cheek” to me. ---

In what should have been a tense female-male rape scene in [Single White Female](http://imdb.com/title/tt0323944/), [Steven Weber](http://imdb.com/name/nm0001836/) (most famous for _Wings_ stands up to reveal a member that puts the wee in wee-wee. I admire his courage, or else he really really really needed money at that time. (Robin Williams in _The Fisher King_ was also more Vienna than Kielbasa, but that movie was filmed outside on a cold night so he had an alibi.) ---

Mel Gibson’s butt in Bird on a Wire. Very hairy. I don’t think it was even his butt. Angie Everhart and Erika Eleniak in Bordello of Blood. Now, Erika has shown her boobs before, but apparently she wanted no touchy feely from Angie when they had to film the lesbian scene. Either that, or Angie didn’t feel comfy with it. So Angie fondled what was obviously a fully clothed female **dummy**. ---

> [@Little Nemo](#): > > In order to show how much Keith was missing his home they showed him having a dream of his wife taking a shower. Dang, I remember this. I saw this movie when I was like 13 or 14, a time in a boy’s life when there is, officially, No Such Thing As Bad Naked Breasts, and even then I thought it was skanky and embarrassing. My contribution: The movie is hilariously bad in many, many other ways, but Michael Winner’s [_The Wicked Lady_](http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0086582/) is especially noteworthy for the scene at the end where the titular villainess, played by Faye Dunaway, gets into a public whip-fight with a rival. Faye, thankfully, is clothed, but her opponent is topless. At the time, it was just kind of sleazy and stupid, but here’s the thing: the rival is played by Marina Sirtis. I gotta tell ya, it’s fall-off-the-couch funny to watch Counselor Troi scampering half-naked through a crowd while trying to avoid Faye’s whip. “Titular.” Heh. ---

Yeah, technically it doesn’t count. But it can still be classified under “unintentionally hilarious sex scenes”. 😛 ---

Sirtis also has a brief full-frontal flash earlier in the movie, in a scene in which, IIRC, she has three lines of dialogue: “What?” “_WHAT???_” and “Who the fuck was that?” ---

**Pinocchio’s Revenge** , a C-grade horror flick about a possessed doll (although with a very sweet final twist) featured some pretty funny nudity that can only happen in a C-grade horror flick. Euro-trash nanny is taking a shower. Euro-trash nanny steps out of the shower naked as a jaybird. Towels? We don’t need no stinkin’ towels! Euro-trash nanny parades through the house totally naked with a quick cut “through the eyes” of the possessed doll. End scene. Something like five minutes of a 90 minute just to show a naked chick. Of course this is also the movie that features a scene where the heroine and her boyfriend go at it porno style complete with earth shattering moaning and yelling that the heroine’s daughter is treated to as her room shares a wall with theirs. ---

Not a sex scene _per se_, but didn’t anyone watch the dailies from _Working Girl_? I would’ve thought ONE soul out there would’ve said “Uh…? That scene where Melanie is vacuuming in her underwear? Lets see what it looks like with her fully clothed. Please?” ---

I’ll accept underwear-only as semi-nude…especially in this case. 🙂 ---

I have yet to see Jeremy Irons in a movie where I didn’t get a little hot and bothered. ( **Time Machine** and **Dungeons and Dragons** are the obvious exceptions. Repairing that castle must be awfully expensive…) And **Damage** is no exception. Lots of heat. But the scene where he’s running down a _long_ flight of stairs after his son had me giggling. In terms of size, the tackle didn’t let him down but it kept flinging back and forth like a metronome. It was almost hypnotizing except that I kept worrying that he’d give it whiplash. Now I can’t get the image of his unit in a little neck brace out of my mind. Hey **Lamia** , thanks for the tip on **The Magnificent Ambersons**. Rhys-Meyers bootie? I’ll be adding that to my Netflix queue. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/unintentionally-amusing-nude-scenes/240169.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/unintentionally-amusing-nude-scenes/240169.md?page=3)
