Bo Derek influence Tennessee Buck


Bo Derek's forced wash/bath by natives was more than likely influenced by Ursula Andress mud rubdown in the cannibal flick 'Mountain of the Cannibal God' but another 80s flick had a similar scene with playmate of the year Kathy Shower. The Further Adventures of Tennessee Buck has a rich man and his wife (played by the sexy Miss Shower) on a hunting expedition in some jungle hunting the elusive White Tiger. Along the way, Kathy is kidnapped by some natives whose chief takes a certain interest in, just like the chief in Tarzan. Anyhow, Kathy is subjected to a fate not too dissimilar from Miss Derek's forced wash/paint job. Kathy is taken to a hut where she is ritually oiled up naked by some menacing looking tribe women. Unlike the native women who scrubbed Bo hard in the wash scene, these native women gently smear the oil in an erotic fashion all over Kathy's hot bod and large breasts, working Kathy into a sexual frenzy. Also Kathy doesn't complain about what is being done to her, even if it's against her will, she only sighs or breathes heavy during her preparation for the chief. The only time Kathy tries to pull herself free is at the end of this short scene but the native women hold firm and Kathy seems to give up just as the scene fades out. Bo has a bit more of a fighting spirit in her as she tries to fight her way out from the native clutches, Bo scenes are a lot longer too as Kathy's rubdown scene is only a minute long. It's interesting to note that some scenes were cut out from Tennessee Buck that were seen in certain European versions of the film. Just as with Bo's deleted strip/ wash scenes, so to was Kathy's which included Kathy being forcefully disrobed by the native women, an extended rubdown scene plus Kathy being fondled and 'taken' by more than one tribesman.
