The Greatest Cinematic 'Feel' Ever Copped?

This subject is about as far a-field from my usual posts as one gets, but the title for this thread ('Manly' stuff) combined with a recent viewing of one of the true classics of 'manly' movies ever made ("Our Man Flint" - starring James Coburn) suggested this topic as one of potential fruitfulness...

Soooo.... The rules are simple: We are looking for the Greatest Feel Ever Copped in the Movies and shown on screen; Movies Only, No Porn (actors must remain dressed), and Technique Matters!

In case anyone needs an example of a Master at Work - the movie "Our Man Flint" offers just such a glimpse in to cinematic greatness. During the final climactic scene the hero Flint dives off an exploding volcano cliff in to the ocean, after sending his bevy of nubile bikini clad 'pleasure units' over the side in big metal drums. The metal drums float away to a navy boat where sailors in bulky life jackets and heavy gray helmets pop the tops and out comes a bikini clad pleasure unit, kind of like hugh heffner on a bunny hunt at the playboy mansion pool, only different.

The nominated scene, is one where the bikini girls are being removed from the drums and hauled by sailors in to waiting boats, which is where the action takes place.

Although we may never truly know his story, for indeed his cinematic debut was brief and under a helmet, one of the extras playing sailor (or perhaps it was a real sailor) - in the process of lifting a bikini girl out of a can and in to the boat, grabs ahold with gusto on the two biggest handling points on this 'pleasure unit' - and hauls away lustily with his cargo.

It is doubtful that this was in any way scripted, but rather a more likely a rogue actor improvising beyond the lines and was simply allowed to remain in the film rather than reshoot the entire scene (or perhaps the director left it in for 'other' reasons).

I would be interested to know the back story to all this, but the visual testimony of this hands on extra's 15 seconds of fame still remains an outstanding example of Cinematic Chutzpah above and beyond the casting call of duty.

Anybody got any better?

While not in the same league as 'Our Man Flint' there is a runner up scene (or is that feelerup) in the movie "Chicago" that deserves dishonorable mention.

For those who have never seen this Academy Award winner - it is probably the greatest piece of Cinematic Misandry in modern movies, and features such statements as "I never heard of a man being killed that didn't get exactly what he deserved"

Anywayyy... During the 'Press Conference Rag' scene actor richard geere (better known as an officer and gentleman with a gerbil up his butt) picks up his 'dummy' rene zel-wiggler - and carries her around a chair - with one hand firmly grasped on a handling point probably not in the script.

But then, like ole rich says - all he cares about is love.

I have to agree that 'Chicago' was ultimate Misandry. But a brilliant film nontheless. It showed all the feminist excuses one can think of for nastiness to men but by golly there were some fine examples of female pulcritude dancing and singing and flashing their girly bits.

And some nasty women get to be hanged !!

Next time you go to see it Ohso, take a air-honker and give it a blast whenever a misandric comment is made.
