The Love Scene at the Sweathouse


Does anybody know if they really were having sex?
If not it sure looked real!!

reply

They were naked - that's for sure. I don't think they were really "doing it" though, they just wanted to make it look good. They sure were sweating a lot too. Probably needed a nice shower after that scene!

reply

No they were not having sex :O)

Rachel Ward had just got married to Bryan Brown and this in fact was part of their honeymoon... Also the whole sex scene was shot on a sound stage due to the mexican authorities not wanting their Mayan history tarnished with a sex act!

reply

No, I believe they call it "acting"

I guess the Mexican authorities considered ritual sacrifice of innocents by the Mayans in the temple as much more acceptable.

You're thinking of "Against All Rods"

Repent. The end is extremely *beep* nigh.

This was one of the sexier scenes for it's time.. take a look at me now.

reply

Do you get to see Rachel Ward's boobs in this film? Thanks.

It's not the years, honey; it's the mileage.

reply

I agree. It can still get to me now!

reply

That is one of the most memorable sex scenes on film and they looked like they were enjoying it.

There was such chemistry and passion. I know cos after I watched it, I had to shower. Lol!!!

Bravo to solid craftsmen.!!

reply

It was a gorgeous steamy scene in a gorgeous steamy film. Great stuff!

I'm not bad - I'm just drawn that way!

I dont know folks, I just saw this for the first time recently, and after seeing Bridges in the Big Lebowski, I just cant picture him as anything other than the Dude. Seeing him getting any kind of action like that just makes me laugh more than anything. Good thing the nihilists didnt get to cut off his johnson.. ;)

Comments like this must make an accomplished actor want to slit his wrists.

Meh. Rachel Ward just laid there all stiff. I would have been all over his hot ass.

reply

Actually it wasn't Jeff Bridges at all...it was a body double.

reply

How do you know that it was a body double?

reply

Wouldn't it be great if a terrific site like this one attracted only intelligent people who could coherently discuss film? All the technology out there and we still don't have a stupidity and ignorance filter. Except for not reading or replying to idiotic posts.

No, they weren't really having sex.

He wasn't really a washed-up football player either, just in case that confused you, too.





I need my 1987 DG20 Casio electric guitar set to mandolin, yeah...

reply

No, they weren't having sex. They were play acting. Bridges didn't use a double. Why would he? He didn't show anything more than he did in the scene where they were laying in bed and the sheet barely covered his junk.

I also remember reading that Bryan Brown was VERY possessive/protective of his new wife and was on set for the whole thing.
