Actors going Commando in Films

[gilisfan]

Eric Balfour goes commando in Texas Chainsaw Massacre (he says so in the extras) and Lie with Me.

The scene in Juno, where the track team is jogging by (which one, eh? :wink: ), and she's talking about how their "pork poles" (or "pork" somethings) were bouncing around, and the cam is at a crotch-level view of the runners going by, with obvious unfettered swinging inside their track shorts.

from IMDb:
"The 'pork swords' on the track team were achieved by hanging balls from the inside waist band of their shorts. Director Jason Reitman then asked the boys to kick up their knees as they ran so the balls would bounce."

Edward Norton in "American History X"

Eric goes commando 24/7, he says that he was raised by hippies and has never owned underwear. he looks amazing in jeans with no shirt on btw.

Omar Epps probably goes commando. He seems to show his vpl every third episode of "House," not that I'm complaining!

Let's not forget Fred Dryer in HUNTER (though it's television).

Ya I watched this movie for the first time over the weekend and the bouncing pork swords were not realistic...

TV or not, classic-free Willy and potatoes!!! God Bless Fred.

Haven't seen 'Juno', but all this talk of the running-scene, and subsequential-ways-the-shot-was-done, gives me pause.

(and, I thought the film got great reviews,,,despite/or/no matter the scene discussed!)

roflmao- Really? REALLY? a scene in which 'things' were 'attached', 'direction-given' to create some effect....for the film??? roflmao!

Really!

(Bigtoad runs out to buy a copy of 'Juno"- to watch an acclaimed-film, , , then to check out this 'scene'!!!!!!!! ROFLMAO!)

REALLY, Peace, to ALL! (Sir Pitt, of course, in 'Fight Club'...nature of the Character...)

I can't substantiate it with a citation, but I seem to remember reading somewhere a while back that David Duchovny always goes commando.

And I agree with a previous poster...it appears that Kevin Costner is ALWAYS free-balling....just one of the many reasons I love him! :fing02:

 

[byrons2cents]

in the movie never been kissed with Drew Barrymore there is a scene with David Arquette (sorry don't know how to spell his name) where you could some part of bugle and looks like he is not wearing anything underneath.

 

[Matt Cohen]

Has anyone got any more examples of actors going commando in films?

 

[D_Diesel Oyl]

Would be interesting to see some of that . . . .


!!

Jude Law went commando in the Talented Mr Ripley, after the suggestion of its costume designer. Italy in the 1950's, the status & spirit of his character, and the appropriate trendy cut of his clothes were the good reason Law commented about it in some interview at the time.

 

[gregps]

We were talking about this subject last night at dinner and though I have never read anything concrete Sean Connery showed evidence of going commando in a number of the James Bond films.

Jason Beghe in MONKEY SHINES (the very good George A. Romero thriller). The opening sequence...in SWEATPANTS.

 

[fratpack]

In "Zodiac", excellent movie by the way, there is an actor Costos M...., sorry I can't remember his last name. Well, he is in a scene where he is commando. Also Matthew McCounahey...ok, I know the spelling is off but i am distracted by his bulge. lol.

Michael Douglas in Fatal Attraction and Basic Instinct.

Just saw the 1970's Robert STigwood version of Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Movie with Peter Frampton and the BeeGees and there was lots of VPL if not outright commando. Probably the only good reason to sit through the whole movie now, how I did it as a kid, I will never know!

 

[fratpack]

We just watched "Julie & Julia" on dvd...again...and early on in the movie there is a scene with Stanley Tucci when he is walking outside with La Streep and he is dressing to the left, as the saying goes. For those of us who were lucky enough to see "Frankie & Johnny..." on Broadway a few seasons ago, we saw Mr. Tucci in the buff and he was worth the price of admission.

Another movie I am thinking of is from the 1970s that did featured a very young 24 year old David Hasseloff. I think it was called......Revenge of The Cheerleaders. Anybody remembers that one?

I'm always confused whether they are commando or just wearing boxers! How can you be certain that they were commando???

Well...that said...William Shatner as Captain James Tiberius Kirk in the original Star Trek series gave me hours of youthful fantasies with that great bulge in his tight black uniform pants! If the wasn't commando, then he was wearing great boxers!!!!
