SEX/NUDITY 3 - A couple is having sex with the woman on top; we see his leg and her back and hear moaning. A woman wears a cleavage revealing outfit. We see G-string clad women and suggestive dancing in a strip club. A woman dances suggestively while disrobing -- she gets down to a bra. A woman starts to undress a man but no nudity is seen. Sexual innuendo (including homosexual references). Kissing. A statue with a huge penis.

CAVEATS

Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.

We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.

Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
