Gratuitous Nudity


In many of the episodes of this series, it's almost as if they wrote the script, finished casting then when they were about to begin filming, someone says "Shoot! We forgot the nudity. Let's figure out where we can add some."

Some of the more gratuitous examples:

The General's Daughter: The Transporter shows up to transport the episode's title character, but wait; first she needs to try on lingerie in the hotel boutique.

Payback: The Transporter's old friend makes some phone calls. There is an unnamed naked women on the bed behind him.

Dead Drop: While talking to The Transporter on the phone, Carla spills her drink, requiring her to remove her shirt and bra.

Hot Ice: While the bad guy's henchmen are waiting around for no apparent reason, they are watching porn.

The Switch: When The Transporter knocks on the door at the gallery owner's girlfriend's house, she just happens to be in the middle of changing out of her shirt and bra.

12 Hours: At the Swiss border crossing, The Transporter is behind a pickup truck with a girl in a bikini in the back. Of course she flashes him, because why wouldn't she?

I'm not complaining about the nudity, but I am rolling my eyes at how non-essential to the plot it always seems to be.

I've noticed it too. I don't have a problem with nudity but i'd much rather it have some relevance to the plot.

I guess it's their way of saying 'We're comfortable with it'. But I must say, I don't think they include it to be edgy, more 'this is how we do things, regardless'.

Well seeing that it's now on TNT Cable,there won't be any nudity,but there totally should be as it's hard to watch and sure could use some gratuitous T&A.

reply

It looks like tnt is showing it out of order, "Trojan horsepower" first tonight and now "dead drop" as the 2nd episode. With it being censored for the US and so many other shows out there, this hardly seems worth my time

reply

Ah, the joys of Netflix streaming - no censoring.
I have to admit, I was surprised by it, since I am used to the American way of series.
I am about to watch The General's Daughter. Will be looking for the gratuitous stuff.

Gratuitous Nudity

The tone of your post implies this is a negative aspect.


You can't palm off a second-rater on me. You gotta remember I was in the pink!

They seem to have changed this formula. I have seen some of season 2 and can't remember one of these scenes you mentioned.

reply

That is because you missed the point. Season 1 - The nudity was about the man--beautiful women took off there clothes around him because he was a man. His cars were in continuous repair by his private mechanic because he was a man. He always won his fights because he was a man--the good, badarse man. This was James Bond with out all the spy crap.

Season 2 he became a man living in San Francisco, CA. He even wore a blue shirt😞

Audio seemed to be a great car in season 1. In season 2 I can outrun that car on foot.

Season 2 BLOWS!!!!!

Are you freaking kidding me ? That's one of the reasons I watch the bloody show in the first place!!
Why did they change the damn formula in the second season? I will miss Carla and the mechanic. I read they got rid of the nudity too!!
That's just my two cents.

I'm pleased to say there's still nudity in the international version of season 2, though it's no where near as gratuitous.

"I said no camels, that's five camels, can't you count?"

reply

There is a pay site called CelebrityMovieArchive.com. It's like Mrskin.com in that it lists actresses nude scenes. It posted all the nude scenes from season one but only one from season two.

That's just my two cents.

Can you post where I can watch those second season nude scenes online?
