I believe it was suppose to be his wife, played by Kirstie Alley. At the start of the movie the secretary does not want to see it but at the end it shows sam smiling when he looks at it, so I always thought it was a naked photo of the wife.

Actually, you aren't far off. It IS a naked photo, of a female, but it's not Kirstie Alley. It's just a naked lady. I know it's not Kirstie because
a.) There are certain facts to watch out for in the movie as to why it's not her.
b.) I was told so.

You are all wrong. I worked on the film and actually saw the back of the watch. It was a mechanical "movement" of a man schtuping a woman from behind.

Yeah, I agree. It was just some random naked chick.

It was a battery! He gave him a modern pocket watch! The Amish don't believe in technology. Thats why he was told not to open the back.

I came to ask the same thing... but apparently nobody REALLY knows? Oh well... the movie was... as Tim Allen said... SH******T! I'd been wanting to see the movie since it came out years ago, and finally got a chance to see it. Too predictable. Some movies are, but still worth watching. Not this one. It's suppose to be a comedy, but it didn't even draw a chuckle from me. I HATE when I waste time watching movies like this. I rented "Harvey" with Jimmy Stewart... hope it's better than this one.

It was a battery because the Amish don't use electricity.

it was probably the key of brad sexton's car because at the end he leaves his own car there and uses yoder's van

I always thought it was something like that ran by the gears, not a picture. It's a swiss watch, so something that involves gears could possibly be. Maybe just repeated thrusting, the chiming kinds promotes rythym. Who knows?

[–] g_green_dani 18 years ago

ROFL, that's hilarious. Thanks for that. Not a huge fan of the film, you kinda think a movie sucks after 500 viewings...

It was a picture. Amish can use batteries. They have battery operated fridges and other clocks. How would you think they tell time.

Believe or not, STILL exists clocks that work without batteries.

[–] jellyjammuffin 17 years ago

there is somewhere in the movie where he says it's a naked lady. as far as amish and batteries go, officially they don't use them. however, as long as they aren't getting found out, they are probably using them. my uncle, who is amish, has a gameboy that he plays at home when only family is around.

i've had the battery/naked woman question in the back of my mind ever since first seeing this movie. nobody has probably thought about this more than I have and I think it's 100% a naked woman look at the smile on yoder's face when he looks at it. you think he would smile like that for a battery?

naked chick

From the reference of it being the grandfathers i.e. old I always assumed it was a animated (Moving) erotic scene such as screwing. Such items were popular back then and are still made and collected today. Much like the erotic mechanical music box in "The Stunt Man" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081568/

I thought picture of a naked woman but I like this.
And NO it's not a battery because Mr. Sexton ask his secretary or whoever about it, smiling, and she...I forgot but she had a reaction, and they weren't amish.
