    so im watching underworld evolution, and micheal and kate beck are doing it in the trailer(how inappropriate)... And looking at them, it is quite obvious he must have some sort of erectile dysfunction because there is nothing happening down there obviously.

    How theeee hell does he manage not to... stand to attention? Celotape? Barbed wire? Someone as hot as Kate Beckinsale, underneath you, nakid, writhing... Even thinking about it gets the juices flowing, amirite?

    I have searched the ineternet looking for answers, and all I have found are homoerotic porn sites >: (

    he whacks off once/twice/n times before shooting the scene.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,485 ✭✭✭Thrill


    Jerked off before doing the scene probably.

    what age are you?

    Seriously, sex scenes in movies are supposed to be horrifically unsexy for the actors.

    Not much of a turn on or fun having a bunch of crew watching you writhe naked with your co star (especially as the director happens to be kates husband)

    I still say he whacked one off before the scene. Theres no need to take chances. The one eyed snake has a life of its own. You never can tell when he'll decide to let you down, or up for that matter.

    They use flesh coloured tape to strap it down, and things called chastity cushions for the humping bits:)

    Why yes I can see you getting so turned on just you Kate, several thousand kilowatts of lights all around, about 12 gaffers and some sparks (think two football teams of fat overweight electricans, leaning on equipment and staring at you) a camera crew, a sound guy fiddling with your mike, a director talking about blocking the scene, your dialogue running through your head, and a couple of make up artists and wardrobe types fluttering all over you.

    Oh yeah, thats the kind of situation that turns me on.

    (Me I'm kinky like that)

    Gosh that happens to you too? I'm always logging on and accidently stumbling across gay porn, and accidently typing in my credit card details....

    Definitely beats soft lighting and a bottle of chianti :rolleyes:

    Sex scenes are not filmed with a full crew present, only the actors needed and the cameraman and director are there as a rule. Still a stiffy would be rare enough as the environment is still pretty alien and awkward.

    They must whack one off before a scene, even with all the other reasons why they shouldn't need to. It'd be impossible not to get to at least half-mast otherwise

    in saying that... i worked on a budget film where the actor was "aroused". My mate was the sound man in the room next door and almost had his ear drums burst when he heard this loud scream from the actress when she saw it!!

    seemingly it rubbed off her! lol

    Most big budget movies use body doubles for the sexy scenes.

    This is correct, I wasn't allowed to set for a sex scence with Kiera Knightly, as much as I wanted to :( Some SFX Jackass was allowed in though cause he had to make 'smoke', the dickhead.

    They just think about something totally not sexy.
    Like Tara Reid's breasts for example.

    So is the woman supposed to be more insulted if the guy did get a hardon, or if he didn't get one?

    It was never funny.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,747 ✭✭✭Figment


    I am unsure of the actor now. It was someone like Richard Harris or Peter O'Tool.
    He turned around to the leading actress before a sex scene and is quoted as saying "Excuse me if I get a hard on and excuse me if I don't".
    Thought it was a great line.

    Bob Geldof went into that a bit in his autobiography. IIRC he said it was too cold in the end.

    I don't think you're aware of what a stripped to the bone feature film crew conists of. A five man camera crew (DoP, Operator, Clapper loader, and Video Assist) is the bare minimum. if there's any tracking or dollys, thats an additional couple of gaffers. A two man sound crew, continutiy, director, plus four hair and makeup types sprinting in just before the start of every take. Plus a director and maybe producer or two. Thats anything from 10-15 people.

    i always had a lot of pity for ewan mc gregor, i mean he must have had a lot of trouble staying soft in that scene with kelly mc donald in trainspotting, she is a fox.
    but i was watching one of those top 100 programs on c4 a while ago about the top 100 sex scenes and the bloke they were talking to about trainspotting said 3/4 of that scene had to be cut out because kelly mc donald was 'enjoying' herself too much and mc gregor's wife was furious.
    would love to find the whole scene, if it exists
