every time Dredd beats up a perp. you just know its good for him.

I know this is a sad mainstream example, but what about the scar comparison scene in Lethal Weapon 3? Mel Gibson and Rene Russo comparing points where they've been, ahem, penetrated by knife and bullet.
Gibson eventually takes the opportunity to shed his trousers, thus breaking the metaphor, but then Russo tells him that she really was just comparing scars.

It's all metaphorical of course but it's where the Borg have grafted a bit of flesh onto Data's arm. The Queen is telling him all about how wonderful it is to be fleshy and tempting him. She then kneels over and gently blows the flesh on his arm and the little hairs stand up and Data goes all tingly.

Is there some edit of Jaws where the scar scene goes further too?

Patrick · 06 February, 2004, 09:38:28 PM

Can't think of anything in tooth off-hand - there probably just aren't enough stories with girls in. But the best movie example of metaphorical sex I can think of from the movies is Daniel Auteuil as a knife-thrower and Vanessa Paradis as his assistant in The Girl on the Bridge, which is just an unbelieveably wonderful film.

Banzai Battalion!

Sarge gives Flambo a charge from his battery, via a wire he plugs into her - accompanied by some 'was it good for you?'esque dialogue.

Another comics one, the "polishing" scene from Laser Eraser & Pressbutton in Warrior.

Mad Max, Joanne Samuel Max`s wife plays a saxophone solo while he relaxes after a hard day`s fanging around killing people in the v8 falcon.
Wings of Desire where the angel who has given up eternal life in order to hang around with Soveig Dommartin (a reasonable decision) holds her rope while she practices her cirus act.

The chess scene. Need one say more?

Back in the days when any mention of sex was a no no, never mind showing it the talking about speeding scene in noir classic Double Indemnity is well ahem 'racey'

The Pottery Scene in Ghost.

AAAARRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Help get me out of here!!!

Any James Bond scene...

I liked the scene in Watchmen, with the rather impotent sex scene being performed to the TV commentary.

And back to Terminator 2 - Sarah Connor 'fucking' the T-1000 by vigorously mastubating the shotgun and blowing holes in him.

Not quite on topic... but after reading it I had to quote this somewhere:

Prog 1222, DREDD: "The older I get, the tighter I like 'em."

Richmond Clements · 09 February, 2004, 02:19:56 AM

The whole Vincent Vega/ Mina Wallace tale in pulp fiction was more or less sex without the sex. (apart from when she ODed of course).

Tiplodocus · 09 February, 2004, 06:58:54 PM

And I've just remembered another Star Trek one (they must have got a lot of practice).

There's one of the original series episodes where Kirk and co. end up on a planet populated by greek gods. One of the crew manages to make one of the Gods angry and is lashed by a storm that represents rape.

I need to think of more 2000AD examples...
