Rape is a very serious matter. It may lead to trauma and may require extensive therapy for many years. Eastwood was Raped but he did not cry out and scream even once. It must have been pure hell to be violated like that!!! He is the toughest man alive!!
He has earned the Dirty Harry name!!
What the hell are you talking about!!
shareYeah seriously, what the hell mate
share...Sonia Braga!
Horrible!
Wish I'd been there, I'd have volunteered to let her assault me in his place... anything to spare Clint the pain (Lucky b@$T@&d!!!!)
Well, had Clint been banged by a big burly character he'd definately gone through what the original poster stated. Instead he was "violated" by sexy little Sonia Braga.
shareShe's terrific. Sexy, wacky-funny, and smart.
I never think of her as a tiny 5'2" on screen. She's got the presence to look even Clint right in the eye there... even when she's not sitting on his lap!
Reverse the genders given the same situation, and the sick feminists would be screaming.

You're absolutely right ubu55 about the eyes. I don't think Sonia's got that presence in every movie she's in but some like the Rookie...... oh yeah. You gotta admit, there's no b**** with a gun and karete chops like Liesl. She's one of a kind. Part of what makes her look taller is she wears 5' stilettos in almost all her roles. But yeah she's got some kind of presence to her. not only she the only one able to keep eye contact with Nick but you notice when she was on his lap right after he bit the bullet Nick couldn't even look at her anymore. He either kept his head down or closed his eyes. Only times he opened em back up was when Liesl pulled down his zipper with such a screech he got scared but quickly put his eyes back down or when he threw his head back and released. Of course Liesl had her eyes closed still waiting for hers so he didn't really make eye contact that time. Can't really feel sorry for Nick (to the original poster.) Sure Liesl worked on him until he wasn't "Dirty Harry but razor to the head aside I'm sure he physically had no complaints.
shareShe's a wonderful, charismatic woman, a shame Hollywood didn't notice her until she was 40.
That's a shame for us, the US audience. Just picked up "Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands," (Wonderful!) and will continue to look for her other, older Brazilian films. Wish I spoke Portugese.
Thanks, Countess!
'Sick feminists'? Why? Is it sick to object to sexual violence?
PS: I don't think it's any more acceptable for a man to be violated than a woman, but you seem to be suggesting that any woman who vocally objects to rape is 'sick'. Sounds to me like you're the one who's sick. Please get some help before you do someone harm.
It wasn't real, it was a movie.
The greatest trick the Devil has ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist!

The OP is referring to a South Park episode where one of them, I think Kyle, is having PTSD as he stood back and watched Harrison Ford get Raped by Geogrge Lucas in the latest Indiana Jones.
What the OP tends to forged is this movie was directed by Clint himself.
However I remember watching an interview with Clint and he said he only did this movie as a deal to get the studio funding to do one of his own films that he really wanted to do, but would almost definitely not be a huge commercial success.
I can't remember the title of the other movie, it may have been White Hunter, or actually I believe it was quite possibly Unforgiven, as nobody wanted to make Unforgiven as westerns were commercially dead at the time.
And I also remember him joking that Unforgiven made a fortune, and won oscars, and the Rookie tanked.
So be grateful, without this film we wouldn't have Unforgiven, and I'm sure the rape councilors made this fact very clear to Clint to get over in the aftermatch his traumatic experience. (Joking).
I don't think this is that bad, mainly as Raul Julia is brilliant though.
lol...
It's amazing how many of the posters didn't get the original joke (some did)... or didn't like it's implications.
Nice original post, btw. :)

why did she rape her captive, though....odd thing to do when you're waiting on the cops to scrounge up $2mil
shareIts interesting how the OP talks and complains about this scene as if its real, although it was staged as well, but doesn't go in say any similar manner, talk about the plentiful incidents of violence which includes MURDER very much throughout this movie, and in case OP maybe has forgotten or not known about it, MURDER is ALSO a very serious matter, and I wouldn't wish it happening to you or your closed ones, well, in real life, EITHER.
That all being said - what is also interesting and controversial (more on that later), was that in this scene, it was a woman who was the perpetrator (played by, oh My God, the talented and acclaimed Brazilian actress Sonia Braga, she also, like in this movie, starred with the late Raul Julia in an acclaimed 1985 drama "Kiss of the Spider Woman", directed by the legendary, and RIP too, filmmaker Hector Babenco, of whom I am a huge fan of) and the victim of hers was a man, played, of course, by the legendary American cinematic icon Mr Clint Eastwood himself, and whatsmore, and I am not "you know" (so let's not get all too personal about it, plus its just a film, alright), in this movie, he is portrayed as a tough good guy action hero.
Further on that point also, at the time of this movie's release, that scene has actually caused and courted quite a bit of controversy at the time, and I can only imagine what the implications were and how people reacted and what they were saying to each other.
I suppose Clint Eastwood added this scene in order to, perhaps, add a layer of an extra controversial slice of slightly unusual shock value to the movie, that is, if other bits, including all the scenes of violent shootouts and action, as well as the fact that Sonia Braga plays a female VILLAIN of this film, as opposed to a victim, or a damsel in distress, a cop etc, and as audience we are NOT, of course, meant to like her in any way, that gender reversal scene perhaps added an extra layer of icing on the cake.
Also, again, you thought it was
somewhat or otherwise "real" that oh he didn't cry and feel pain once and you keep referring to it as "Eastwood gets..." rather than HIS CHARACTER, and by a female perpetrator to boot, but it was staged and entirely fictional my friend and plus...
It was actually somewhat IMPLIED and not shown graphically, so maybe it is up to us, the audience members, left to decide what his reaction might be, and I imagine under the circumstances it would have been at least somewhat painful, and definitely emotionally hurtful to an extent too.
And I bet, despite making an inappropriate remark earlier on to Eastwood's character following the incident (did Charlie Sheen's character KNOW it wasn't a consensual encounter?), the reason he shot and killed Sonia Braga's character in that airport was also at least PARTIALLY as a vengeance for THAT act, and I bet Eastwood's character was glad for that too, and by extension, has forgiven him moreso for that inappropriate comment, even though, yeah we can debate the levels of trauma and whatnot, both Eastwood and Sheen had some OTHER priorities after that too, namely escaping a bomb and trying to catch the rest of the bad guys whilst attempting to stay alive.
And also folks...
Its just a FILM, alright, staged, not real, acted etc etc, visual tale told.
I know this type of matter in today's day and age and elsewhere is difficult if not IMPOSSIBLE for many to ignore. But do you think we could go a little easier on the hype here, LET ALONE, like the OP perhaps somewhat jokingly did, suggest that what happened was anywhere close to being FOR REAL.
And if we as audiences in movies don't make that huge a deal over copious depictions of murder, shouldn't various sex crime acts also not get us too riled up either even though, to an extent at least, I can understand why it hits too close to home to many, and gets many others curious from a distance as well. And how we look at this matter, worse or otherwise, albeit definitely more intensely, but also DIFFERENTLY, even in fictional movie scenarios, than we do at other forms of violence and wrong doings. Various facts, issues, statistics AND human emotions (of this I even know personally) - notwithstanding.
"Rape is a very serious matter."
So is murder and to a certain extent acts of torture and physical violence, however to a lesser degree and with however less social and other stigma attached to it.
But in cinema, even if the 'other matter' is FICTIONAL as well, you don't see as often people rile about it.
Even some smaller acts in real life like theft can be a big deal in a way (to some people) and unlike cinema, in life we are bounds strongly by rules, morals and traditions for things both large and small, just saying.
