The strip/dance scene...dear gawd!


Talk about a scene to make most women feel depressed about how they look! Jamie Lee Curtis's body was freaking flawless. I am not even a guy and I am mesmerized by this scene every time this movie comes on. Makes me want to go to the gym even though I will never ever look that good no matter what! :P

My mom was always jealous of how good Jamie's body looked in that scene. It's hard to believe she'd look that good after only riding a stationary every night. But, it definitely worked. As a guy, I felt as mesmerized as Harry.

That's a really funny scene. Especially after she is done dancing and ends up whacking Harry in the face with a phone. That was badass.

I remember that Ebert & Siskel thought the dance scene was insulting to Jamie Lee Curtis and they hated that scene but she didn't have a problem with the scene at all. She looked INCREDIBLE! I was like: "Laurie Strode?" I would've gladly traded places with Arnold during that scene haha! She definetely looked her absolute BEST in this film. Tia Carrere & Jamie Lee Curtis looked very sexy in this film!

I hope that was intentional.

You could clearly see the cellulite on her legs and butt which is typical for a woman her age. To have used a 20 year old model instead would have just cheapened the whole scene.

reply

Though the scene and that portion of the film is unnecessary it was funny because I remember not thinking Jamie Lee Curtis was that attractive before that film and I was only 12 years old when it came out but it's funny how the audience turns the second Harry does like "Wow! She's actually hot up under all that nerdiness!" I've never forgotten that scene and I'm 31 years old now. I still to this day have a crush on Jamie Lee and I'm hoping she won't be with her husband anymore by the time I enter the film business.

reply

She's not only hot looking in this movie, I think she's hot in "A Fish Called Wanda" as well.

reply

I was thinking the same thing beatleguy! She's not really my type, but I still think she looked great.

reply

That's why it's so tough these days to see her doing those Activia commercials. Too many guys remember True Lies, Perfect, and Trading Places and how hot she was in all of them. Really messes with your mind she now pimps a yogurt that makes you crap.

I think the scene feeds more back into the bigger issue. His wife feels neglected in the marriage. So he spices things up when he learns she's into the spy thing.

Basically just because you've been married for like 20 years doesn't mean you can't be sexy.

reply

Does nobody remember trading places? Damn gurlll

reply

I didn't really care that much about her in Trading Places, but Wanda turned it around for me.

that's how i like to dance.

it was the silliest scene ever. the viewer could easily see it was arnolds figure and it wasn't very dark either. curtis' character was just plain dumb not noticing that wasn't her husband

reply

Does action-comedy not ring a bell? And YES!! Those things can be R-rated. Once upon a time...

(sigh) Guess you're to young to remember:-(

reply

tom arnold's physique is impossible to miss.
