Haven't seen this in years and I somehow totally forgot how much nudity was in it.
I mean its "Tribal" nudity but for a PG rating there is still quite a bit.
Right now I'm thinking to myself, wow I can't believe my mom let me watch this when I was young.. But oh well..
In all a great movie, will always be one of my favorites, and they just don't make them like they used to.

Yeah, I watched it over and over when I was little, and I just watched it again for the first time in years a few months ago. I was shocked by the amount of gratuitous nudity. What the hell??Well, I also saw it when I was very young - maybe 8 years old or so - and I also had no recollection of any nudity. NOBODY who saw it as a kid remembers the nudity. Why? Because it's only adults that are so hung-up about it. (And I should add, mainly American adults.)
I watched it all the time when I was little too. It was my favorite movie when a was younger, A lot younger.
shareI didn't know this movie came out in 1985 I was about 3 years old in 1985. Anyways, the first time I saw this film was in 1991 with my family and I just finished watching it on VHS again in a long time and I forgot about the nudity to tell the truth. I didn't think nothing of it then and even my younger brother and sister at the time saw this movie. They were 2 or 3 in 1991 so I doubt if they remember everything in the film. That is how the Africans dressed in their tribe so I didn't think nothing of it then and I don't think nothing of it now I just was focused on the dinosaurs.
shareExcellent post.
Orgies are not too much fun if no one wants to do it with you.
Yes because the human body is something to be ashamed of.
Why not turn off your tv and burn any books that reference the naked form and then your life wont seem so empty.
And while youre at it, poke out your kids eyes just in case they walk in on you in the shower, we cant be too careful now can we?
Nudity Even though it has been awhile since I've watched my DVD, I recall only William Katt in his wet boxer shorts.

I disagree. It's appropriate for a PG film. The nudity is presented in a realistic manner with nothing sexual about it. I saw this as a child and didn't even notice the nudity.
shareAmerican society was in somewhat of an ignorant stage, at that time. For instance, the Reagan Administration (1980-1988) was an era where the "Just say no to drugs" campaign was targeted toward a suburban demographic, where the individuals who were reached had difficult access to drugs anyway. Urban areas, however, where drugs were right in their backyard, were barely reached during this campaign. At the same time, African culture was only thought of from the "tribal" angle, ie. bows and arrows, dancing around bonfires, face paint, etc. Not that those things weren't/aren't accurate in some African communities, but not too many had knowledge of the more contemporary civilization that existed as well. Therefore, nudity from the "tribal natives" was no different from watching "Gorillas in the Mist". Thus, "Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend" maintained it's PG rating. Today, thank God, our society is a million times more intuitive.
