Adolescent teenagers cheap thrills in films

Ah, Kelly Le Brock in Weird Science. Dear me, that film sent me weak at the knees in my teens.

It’s probably a good job I didn’t see Woman In Red till I was much older, I think it would’ve broken me.

Obviously…..

Star Wars (1977) – Leia in the detention cell on the Death Star looking mighty fine

Alien (1979) – Ripley in her underpants and t-shirt towards the end of the film

Weird Science – Kelly Le Brock (I’d forgotten that one)

Wicker Man – naked lady in the bath scene..

not cheapies as such, but I used to love the soundbites in Rita Sue and Bob Too…

‘E can’t gerren ‘ard on

yer wot?

‘E can’t gerren ‘aaaaard on

The Woman in Red – Kelly Brock’s pubes!!

Animal house, ‘fawn lebowitz’ in the back of the car, plus the dean’s drunk wife and drunk daughter in separate scenes.

Brooke Shields, Blue Lagoon. Blimey

Not really flesh, or traditionally sexy, but the first screen crush I can remember was Joan of Arc in Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure.

When I was about 11 the Times colour supplement had a fashion spread called something like Miami Denim, dungarees have never been the same since.

Elke Sommer was always good to see 😉 in a cast.

early british sex comedies..oh hang on

Boxing Helena

There were some lovely ladies on Up Pompeii which caught my eye as a lad.

I was brought up in a very strict family, flesh wasn’t talked about nor seen. Took me to move back here at the age of 18 to come into contact with “pink stuff”.. then my Father worked in Germany and we trotted off there… that’s where I saw all the flesh I needed too, caught up quite quickly after watching many foreign films and TV shows…

Barbarella. Come and play, pretty-pretty…

Given it’s Friday, The Delinquents (I was a bit more than a child when that came out, but IIRC somehow it managed a 12 rating).

Roadhouse

I’m not the only one who looked out for the “warning” red triangle then?

Also did A Level French. We were encouraged to watch the dodgy late Friday night French films on BBC2 by the teachers.

My dad was a great fan of Bond films. Quite educational for the hormonally challenged 13 year old.

However, I had an unfair advantage by the time I was 15-16. My mum worked in a video shop, and we had a weird agreement that if I grassed up the true age of lads from school so she knew not to let them have any 18 rated films. I could have free run of the softcore stuff! No wonder – 40 years later – I have failing eyesight and carpal tunnel syndrome….

Weird Science…. did very, very odd things to me and nearly blew my head off in a way that I almost couldn’t quite understand (at the time).

The Name of the Rose (Great Umberto Eco film)

Close My Eyes (Great film, incidentally, with the late Alan Rickman)

…Aaaaahhhhnd something about a bunch of female tribal women in the Amazon, who wandered around the whole film with their tops off.

Edit: found it! Emerald Forest (1985)

All late nite VHS recording from the TV that my Dad had done (apart from Weird Science), probably for the same cheap thrills reasons that I liked watching them.. 😆

Them’s were the dayz.. 😆

Purple Rain

Not much flesh as such, but Audrey Horne and Shelly Johnston in Twin Peaks.

SDR, it was called. Special Discretion Required. *cough* er, I imagine.

There’s a cheesy sci-fi film called Lifeforce I was quite fond of as a youth, Alien ‘vampires’ crash on the planet and go around draining, well, life force out of their victims, basically a proto-Species. The lead character is an attractive young lady who for the entire movie fails to discover clothes. Regardless of the gratuitous titillation, it’s not a bad little film if you like your cheese extra cheesy. (Not a euphemism.)

First one I recall was watching “The Bounty” one Christmas with my grandparents when I would have been about 10. Mel Gibson and his topless pacific islanders. That was an eye opener for me.

Oh yes, I remember the Emerald Forest too.

How about The Delinquents with Kylie? I’m sure she was topless in it.
Edit, just seen a racer has named that one

Jenny Agutter. American Werewolf, Logan’s Run.
Not very enlightened, but she was top totty.

Boxing Helena!? Isn’t that the quadriplegic one?

Legal Weapon 2(I think).

The one with Patsy Kensit at the start!

And yes, Weird Science. Maybe a bit too into this

Legal Weapon 2(I think).

Lethal Weapon II FFS

Are you getting mixed up with Barely Legal Weapon?

No mention of Flash Gordon yet? That was plenty enough in some scenes.

My dad owned a fishing boat and there was always a massive stack of quality porn and videos lying around so when the boat was coming into harbour our gang used to head on down and help out with the catch then it was our job to tidy the galley, mop floors, make a list of supplies needed etc whilst the crew all retired to the pub. We got paid pretty well for the mid 80’s as every crew member (5 of) used to each leave £10 for our work as it saved them the hassle of tidying up the boat after working 20hrs/day for 10+ days at sea. Once our work was done it was time to crack open the 6 pack of beer left for us and put our feet up in the galley with the motherlode of porn to keep us amused.

Good times….. 😀

Swimming pool by Francois Ozon 🙂

Lethal Weapon II FFS

Damn predictive text! 😳

Are you getting mixed up with Barely Legal Weapon?

Honestly!

Nobody has mentioned “Shaving Ryan’s Privates” yet….

Are you getting mixed up with Flesh Gordon?

That’s closest i got to seeing a porno at the flicks

Kentucky Fried Movie………. especially the Shower scene

Quadrophenia with Leslie Ash

This far and nobody’s mentioned Stripes? A Bill Murray army comedy if you don’t know it, best shower scene ever.
And yes Weird Science, making all hormonal teens think they can cop off with fit sixth-formers.

There were some lovely ladies on Up Pompeii which caught my eye as a lad.

Madeleine Smith, Julie Ege…

And the Dick Emery film “Ooh You are Awful” with a bevvy of pukka British Dolly Birds.

Golden days!
