Not a clue. The butt wasn't hers though. The rest was.

What? She used a body double?

So butt double is an actual occupation?

Helps when you've got money and a good education. I do think a lot of people can achieve things with a solid family background, finances, etc. When you're living on a dump in Delhi, for example, all you can strive for is to try to survive. If you've got mental health problems, all you can do is take on day at a time. If you've got half a dozen hungry kids to feed, all you can do is graft to feed them.

True. Same goes for those that are born with a disability or develop one in life. Sometimes I feel guilt over the advantages I have and my failure to use and appreciate them.

Its usually after spending half a day on the couch being a lazy ass.

I wonder if Lee even had a couch.

I'm a terrible film snob and did try to give things a chance so I decided to watch Cage's version judging it on its own merits.
It was rubbish!
No tension and abysmal acting. There was a naff plot change where he ended up being the dad of the missing child . I went back to prejudging films after that ! The original horrified me, I was young when I watched it and the blood curdling ending with the shockingly painful and unjust fate of Edward Woodward long stayed with me.
Lee was brilliant, how wonderful that he waived a fee. He was having fun in the role and why shouldn't he ..what a great part to play with plenty of chance for mischievous improvisation! He embraced every role he played, he was suitably deranged in LOTR too after the pretence of the loyal and all knowing elder had been cast aside like an ill fitting coat.
It's difficult to appreciate what a tremendous actor he actually is although I confess I haven't seen the horror films that were way before my time -The Pit and the Pendulum etc. We're they delightfully tongue in cheek or proper horror films for their time?

Some were excellent (just ignore the primitive special effects), some were tongue in cheek and some were bloody awful but no matter what the quality Lee was always excellent in whatever role he was given.

He did but it was made of iron and equipped with manacles ready for interrogating any Nazis that has escaped him before.

So the story goes. Also I see Syl posted a link now.

Perhaps she didn't love her bottom half as much as the top half.

Syl · FIRM BUT FAIR.

Apparently she didn't think her own bottom was attractive enough so asked for a body double for her bum....however, she hated the bum used, though there are various different opinions on whose actual bum it was.

Britt Ekland is now in her 70's and is still slim and trim, her face is unrecognisable though thanks to plastic surgery, she is in the present series of 'The real Marigold hotel' on BBC.

In this thread you seem quite the expert on classic nude movie scenes. JD is getting a run for his money.

Her and Brigette Bardot are probably who I consider the two most beautiful women in the world although Rita Heyworth comes close. The Jordan and Jodie Marsh lookalikes called stunna's by the Daily Mail don't really compare.

Being young at the time though I confess that bit confused me. I don't actually remember it properly but understood it was a seduction scene. But I did also think why the bloody Hell is she making such a racket!

I wonder as I'm typing could the sexy but somehow sinister display of been metaphoric not actual. Edward sensed she was nude and just next door. The rhythmic pounding symbolises sex and the temptation became all encompassing for him, and eventually unpleasantly loud because no sex before marriage was a deeply held belief of his. Ergo maybe the increasingly savage stomps existed only in his mind.

The reason I'm doubting the stomping dance existed on actuality is firstly I'm sure they were drugging the bloke and more importantly, they needed a virgin. If their plan succeeding and he ran to the door panting "take me now Britters" then they had no bugger for their vital sacrifice. But then again they were all bonkers.

..maybe I'm over thinking this and she was just banging the flipping wall !

Thanks JD.

I love horror and films that are different or unique. Videodrome had primitive special effects but it still left me with an uneasy feeling after watching and those are the films I like. It was low budget with a memorable cameo by Blondie's Debbie Harry.

The Shining is a horror classic! I really like most Kubrick films by default.

Quills, which is a horror placing the Marquis de Sade in a fictional asylum( played by a stunning Geoffrey Rush) had my OH speechless. It should be highly recommended. Sorry for taking thread off topic, back to Sir Lee :sunny:

There are almost too many great horrors to list really but as far as vampire films go the haunting, utterly beautiful and highly disturbing Swedish masterpiece 'Lat den Rätte Komma In' ('Let the Right One In') was the finest for decades in my humble opinion.

I love 60,s 70,s films, and was an avid reader of all film gossip about the stars when I was young.

It's odd what sticks in the mind.

Haha, no you are right. They needed a virgin to sacrifice, and sexy Willow was the tempation.

If he could resist her it would prove he was pure....sadly for him he passed the test.

He did but it was made of iron and equipped with manacles ready for interrogating any Nazis that has escaped him before.

Not a bad idea. I just want one that sends out an electric charge when Ive been sitting on it for 2 hours.
