This IS the first film, even with R-rated films, as far as I can recall, that did show full frontal female nudity. Maybe I missed one. And I'm not talking adult films aka porn so don't post your "Romancing the Bone" titles please.

No, it isn't. share
As I remarked, "AS FAR AS I CAN RECALL." Wikipedia identifies "Porky's" as showing full frontal female nudity. Which, oddly enough, I don't recall, though I thought it was hilarious.
A quick search on IMDB of movies that I saw that were considered "raunchy" at the time shows that American Gigolo, Risky Business, My Tutor, Private School for Girls all showed full nudity (this is from the Parental Advisory section which is not always accurate, and no entries for Private Lessons or Losin' It.) I don't remember having any reaction to those movies.
I distinctly remember being shocked seeing the bush on the screen in TWIR, and I saw it on video probably a year after it was in the theaters.
I only saw The Last Picture Show in the last year and that must have been shocking at that time.
The film doesn't show any full frontal or any other nudity. Nobody with basic common sense would ever consider a split-second moment where you can hardly notice anything unless you use a pause button to be a nude scene.
shareThis film was one of the first films to have the PG-13 Rating. A 6 year old could of bought a ticket (and still can) to a PG-13 film without having a parent or adult guardian. The ratings are only a guideline thre not a law binding.
This film btw was PG-13 all the way. You have to freeze frame to see anything in this film and if your doing that you have too much time on your hands. And another thing This film was made for ADULTS your average 12 year old would never want to watch this anyway!
Shoulda, coulda, woulda.
shareI remember my parents taking me to see Ryans Daughter in 1970...Sara Miles and the young man had a love-making scene...I was 16 at the time and Mum told me to "cover my eyes"...I said loudly " I ain't covering my eyes"...because of that scene I grew up to be one Horny Tomcat !
shareNo, it should have been rated PG. There's nothing in that film to give it an age restriction. Neither violent nor sexual scenes. The whole American rating system is a big joke.
shareTanya Roberts is completely naked (bush, bum, tits) in Sheena (1984), and its a family movie.
I'm a mountain man, and i love mountain women...

It feels very PG-13 to me because there's nothing objectionable for children here. Now, about that PG-13 film with the pencil through the eye socket ...
