I realized that it’s not nudity but Alice Eve as Dr. Carol Marcus in Star Trek Into Darkness stripping down to her underwear in front of Kirk was completely unnecessary.
Priscilla Barnes as the three-nippled fortune teller in Mallrats.
After posting this in the wrong thread, I’ll try again:
I’ve always thought Sigourney Weaver stripping down to her underwear in Alien was a little unneeded. Not that it wasn’t a great scene and she looked hot, but she could have kept a jump suit on or something.
In the Star Wars films Chewbacca gratuitously walks around wearing only a bandolier.
I don’t think we needed full frontal to figure that out.
I hate that scene, but it’s clearly setting the scene that this is a just camp-slasher flick set in space, rather than a Sci-FI movie.
heres a list from the 80s The Top 20 Gratuitous Nude Scenes Of The 1980s - Flashbak
While many of the examples are obscured by text or clothing, there’s a pair of unobscured bare breasts in the comments.
I thought it was helpful to emphasize the freedom-from-civilization the girl character felt out in the desert. While perhaps not in the original script, I wouldn’t call it gratuitous.
There is this crazy vampire movie–Innocent Blood–where Anne Parillaud walks around totes nude in a couple of scenes and it doesn’t really have much to do with the plot. Fortunately, Don Rickles and Robert Loggia do not.
The Burning Plain, a film starring Charlize Theron, Kim Basinger and Jennifer Lawrence has a longish scene very early on, I think about 5 mins in, of Charlize T nude, staring out a window and wandering around her bedroom. The only relevance to the plot is that it established that she is, in fact, female. Otherwise it serves no purpose, and its not like we were short of screen-grabs of her breasts.
I thought of that too but it falls under the same comedy rules as Airplane!.
There are various references to syphilis, abortion, alcoholism, and whatever the hell Gilbert’s problem was. Which schoolchildren were you planning to show this to?
<golf clap>
I think we need to mention Mrs Henderson Presents. Not for all the naked ladies, who were indeed the entire point of the exercise, but for the full-frontal shot of Bob Hoskins. :eek:
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the movie, but I remember that being the very last scene, far too late to “set the scene”.

“Zardoz” has a whole lot of unwelcome Sean Connery ass goin on, and I’m pretty sure not for intentional comic effect. Thankfully he’s on a horse a lot of the time, but yeah, still looks gross, even then.
Jeremy Irons in the showers in “Brideshead Revisted”. I don’t think seeing his dork in the showers was 100% necessary. Sure, it was on PBS, so I guess they were trying to be progressive in showing dick.
The most squeamish sight of nudity was the rape scene in “Frenzy”. (Interesting, though, to see a shot of her breast getting covered up again, so I suppose some credit goes to Hitch, then, for that little element of dignity, there.)
Yes, it’s when Ripley has blown up the Nostromo and escaped in the shuttle, and is getting ready to go into hibernation. About 5 minutes from the end.
There’s also a scene at the beginning of the movie when the crew is first waking up from hibernation, and are in their underwear, but they only show John Hurt, Yaphet Kotto, and Ian Holm in that scene. But it’s clearly established that you go into hibernation in your skivvies.
You are a monster in human form.
His umm performance came up a bit short.
Viggo Mortensen is bare-assed naked for about two and a half minutes in a fight scene in a steam room…and no steam obscuring the naughty-bits.
There’s a scene like that in the Paul Newman film “Nobody’s Fool.” Haven’t seen it in a long time, but I recall a scene in which Melanie Griffith is losing at strip poker and Pruitt Taylor Vince, who plays Newman’s mentally challenged buddy, can’t stop looking at her tits. Don’t get me wrong: I’ve always liked tits, and I saw the film when it was released (back when I liked tits even more, haha), but even then it struck me as a pointless scene.
