Sex scene?

posted 18 years ago by Liku

I only had the pleasure of watching the film in my 11th grade Government class, which was three years ago so I don't have a very clear view on the film. But when Paul and his friends go to the house with the French women(I believe it was French) they have food and then they're taken upstairs or something of the such.

Now the impression was that there was a sex scene because the teacher hit fast forward through it; but what couldn't he show a group of young adults? Is there anything incredibly graphic in the scene, or was he just being an idiot not wanting to watch that with us around?

there was nothing graphic about the scene. there's maybe a kiss or two.

No, there is nothing graphic in the movie. After the 'Little Brunette' takes Paul into the next room, there is a sihlouette of them embracing and perhap kissing. Then the scene cuts away.

Don't worry about it.

The book explains more fully what that whole scene was about - not a graphic description, but tells you why Paul was there in the first place.

I dont understand the morals of Americans. It´s ok to see rats eating rotting corpses, but two kids having fun is taboo!?

Whats wrong with you people?

lol, my teacher, who's a guy, paused it after the scene and said ok so besides the fact that the german guys were horny, what did we learn from that scene?

When I watched that scene in high school, a sarcastic classmate asked "where are they going Mr. Murphy?". He replied "there's a ping pong parlor in the back room."

Not only was she very easy, she was very sexy! Way to go Paul!!!

I guess it must have been the long pieces of boloney that put ideas in those girls heads.

The girls just took them into a room and Paul kissed and hugged his girl.
Nothing graphic at all.

There`s a still in the extras from the UK Blu-ray which shows Paul in bed with a girl so maybe fruity scenes were filmed and then cut.
