One of the greatest nude scenes in movie history


I don’t know what it is specifically but I feel like the shower scene is simply a god-tier nude scene that is a paramount to everything wonderful about gratuitous 80s nudity.

The concept is great, Stillman’s commentary is funny, the setting is sexy, the women are beautiful, and it’s the idea of this totally incompetent moron of a CO abusing his power to do something as childish as peep on naked ladies that makes it stand out so much.

Shower scene in Stripes?

It's okay, not great. Unless you're a 12 year old virgin it must mean more

Puritan says what?

I said nothing Puritanical

You want great gratuitous nudity? Check out Phoebe Cates in Paradise or Betsy Russell in Private School.

Also the naked flesh on display during the mud wrestling scenes, brilliant!

“Beat the shit out of ‘um Ox”.

LOL 🤣🤣

Eh sorry to be a downer here but I thought the nudity was completely unnecessary. If it served a purpose or if it were part of a joke then I would be fine with it but it seems like they just threw the nudity in just because they could, it was the equivalent of a bunch of 12 year olds giggling over a playboy. I cannot think of a single funny joke in Stripes that wasn't PG.

Sonofabitch, shit!

Even that could have been said in a PG movie back in 1981

reply

Not to nitpick but….it was “son of bitch. Shit.” Then the whole class said it in unison. One of the great lines from the first half of the movie.

The nude scenes were ok , but what really stuck in my 13 yr old mind was the erect nipples poking through t shirt on girl spectating the mud wrestling
