Am I the only one who noticed that when they were pulling the antibodies off of Racquel Welch, the actors were grabbing a lot more than antibodies? Particularly guilty was Arthur Kennedy. Or perhaps I am the only viewer with such an evil mind?
shareIn the book "Filme der 6Oer" it's written about this scene: "Nur dass die ziemlich kurvenreiche Raquel Welch ausgerechnet von "Antikörpern" angegriffen wird - was ihren männlichen Kollegen die Gelegenheit gibt, ihr den hautengen Taucheranzug vom Leib zu reissen und reichlich an ihr herumzufummeln- ist bestimmt kein Zufall. Das muss ein kleiner hinterhältiger Scherz sein" I hope you can translate it. This book also exists in English (editor is Jürgen Müller, taschen Verlag)
shareI'll try and translate this, but I'm Dutch and my German is a little rusty. But it probably beats what bablefish gives you. I don't have an English dictionary, so I might have made some spelling mistakes. Feel free to correct them for me.
"Well, that the rather curvy Raquel Welch would be the one to be attacked by 'anti-bodies' - giving her male colleagues the opportunity to rip the skintight diving suit from her body and fumble about quite a bit - is certainly no coincidence. It must be a small in-joke."
Hope that helps anyone curious.
MEZwaan: "...giving her male colleagues the opportunity to rip the skintight diving suit from her body..."
That didn't happen in the original, but when they do the remake, by all means, please, tear that diving suit right off Cora's body along with those antibodies. All of it. Every... last... stitch.
Rip it. Ripit-ripit-ripit!
Then, leave her with nothing to wear for the rest of the movie. A nude, laser-wielding babe skinny dipping in a someone's bloodstream would be cool. Frazetta would love it.

Hey you are ALL perverts first off not everyone (AT LEAST ME ANYWAY) is NOT staring at her breassst or looking at them or her directly in each scene. I think Racquel Welch is pretty damn ugly anyway she looks real tranny and her breasts are not that big anyway to suggest implants. Anyway if you actually pay attention to that scene (and not her breasts) there's maybe 3 to 4 shots where there actaully just are partly touching her breasts and the rest are at her lower body.

well, wouldnt you have a crafty grope given half a chance??
lets get into character.
I can't remember the scene but who could blame them with Raquel wearing that impossibly skin tight dress.
When I first saw film probably about 10-12, when concentrated on the story and special effects. Nowadays mainly concentrate of Miss Welch and her incredible cleavage.
Seeing the film again this weekend (first time in likely 30 years), I didn't notice anything too untoward in that scene. Maybe a slo-mo replay is required.
Growing up I think Welch was the first actress well known for having breast implants. To her credit, hers matched her body type perfectly. Something that is completely lost with today's pin-up types -- the plastic, inflated look seems to be in favor nowadays, which I find completely unappealing.
I think on balance I prefer natural, or as in Miss W's case (I must admit I did not know she had breasts implants), if the body built to support an artifical advantage so it appears normal.
Personally I like actresses to keep their small , either A & B , natural size, and not go to like D or DD. Isn't there a saying 'more than a mouthful is a waste?'
"Growing up I think Welch was the first actress well known for having breast implants."
Where did you hear that she had implants? Welch became a star in the mid-1960s -- "Fantastic Voyage" was released in 1966 -- and silicone breast implants didn't exist until 1976. If Ms. Welch had had implants in the 1970s or later, her boobs would be even bigger than they were in the '60s. I can't see any difference.

I totally agree with a crafty grope of Ms Welch. Am watching it right now and dang if she didn't look good enough to grope
Oh, yeah, and ya gotta get those gropes in before she asphyxiated, because otherwise it's necrophilia. Ewwww.
I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.
I swear, men will read into anything sexually, or get off on anything--geesh. What a crazy-a** thread.
shareFunny. Have to believe also that the writers included this scene as a sexual catharis - albeit a g-rated one. There had to come a point where something ... anything ... something small ... a grope! ... was done to relieve the build-up of curiosity and tension.
What say there, Fussy Britches? Feel like talking?

lucvischer,
That german text you quoted translates somewhat badly to this:
Only that the rather winding Raquel what is attacked just by "anti-bodies" - which gives its male colleague the opportunity, you strike towards diver suit from the body to to tear and to her herumzufummeln are not plentiful determine coincidence. That must be a small hinterhaeltiger joke
I assume it's trying to say something like:
It's only the rather fetching Rachel who is attacked by the "anti-bodies" giving her male colleagues the opportunity to tear off her wetsuit and, by no small coincidence, fondle her breasts. It must be an underwear joke.
[deleted]
OK. I checked another translator. Apparently "herumzufummeln" means "to fumble around". And I guess that pretty much fits what they were doing in that scene.

As the trivia indicates it went all ways. I'm watching the movie right now and I remember seeing it in the theatres, thinking the same thing. "Did those guys get to feel up Raquel?? Lucky bastards."
By the way she does NOT have breast implants. She's been large busted her whole life. Early photos can attest to that.Long before implants became available. Carol Doda, the infamous stripper was among the first to get them and the fact that she did made headlines around the country...well maybe not headlines but it was news in papers all over the country.
They who give up liberty to
obtain a temporary safety deserve
neither liberty or safety
She might have had some silicon injections early in her career. That was a fairly common practice for enlarging breasts but it is highly dangerous so I don't know if she had it done. She did have a nose job, though.
shareYes, Raquel Welch is ALL NATURAL. Always has been!
Carole Doda did not have implants per se. At that time, some women were getting their breasts enlarged by having liquid silicone injected directly into the breast tissue. It turned out to be a very dangerous procedure that could cause severe allergic reactions, cancer, and disfigurement when the hardened silicone became lumpy. The procedure was eventually banned. The sealed silicone gel implants we know today were first used in 1976.
yeah no surprise there who wouldn't want to be grabbing Racquel back then
I Worship The Goddess Amber Tamblyn
It seems everyone who comments on this scene refers to the 'excuse' for the actors to fondle, and for the audience to focus on, Raquel's breasts. But is there something more symbolic about that whole scene? A super hi-tech apparatus on a double super high-tech classified mission is ironically not getting 'through the ear' of the one it's all about. Then, in order to get through, they have to 'cool things down'-- venting-- and while doing so they are threatened with being 'cut' [scissors], which they don't want to hear of, and the beautiful body of Cora moves, in accord with vibrations, much more than the male bodies, and the result is that sinister forces don't approve of that, so these anti-bodies attack her.
That may be wild, but I've noticed these suggestions in that scene for a long time.
Yeah, me too.
As for the 'more than a mouthful is a waste' thing--you can't play basketball with grapes.

Anybody who attaches that interpretation to the "antibodies" sequence must have a really, REALLY dirty mind!
shareHow dirty of a mind do you have to have to watch for some gropage?
It's common taught courtesy to avoid touching a woman's breasts unless you're given permission, so of course the thought is always on our mind the moment we see a hand anywhere near the breast vicinity. It's not dirty, it's how we've been trained to be polite!
,,, Oh, and then there's the other angle, where I can't help but think of Ms. Welch getting groped up and down. "Cora, I wanna be inside you, inside a comatose old man!"
Yeah, I'm dirty like that.
It reminded me of a simular scene in PULSE with Kristen Bell. She's attacked by ghosts who grab her from all sides, dozens of hands grabbing every part of her. Do actresses get paid more for this kind of thing?
shareTotally annoying and off the point, I realize, but antibodies don't swim under their own power or actively "attack" anything. They're just free-floating protein molecules (albeit complex ones, obviously) produced by white blood cells in response to a previous exposure to a specific pathogen. Clearly, then, the patient had already been vaccinated against Raquel Welch.
shareVaccinated? Or survived a previous bout of Raquel Welch?
Back on topic.. I just watched this for the first time and while I watched I couldn't believe how averse they were to going for her breasts and only when there was pretty much nothing left but the chest area did they all go for it. I guess that's in line with the ingrained politeness thing.
Would you happen to have any... flan?
