Of Paramount Skin-portance: Studio Goes Nudie-o! Asia Argento Opens the Naked Gate Suzanne Somers: The Double Barrels of Magnum Force Stump the Band Will Lump You
June 3, 2008
June 3, 2008, is a day that will live in skin-famy as Paramount Studios floods the DVD market with some of its most mam-orable and most eagerly ass-ticipated cult favorites. Leading the pack is the ultimate, way over-the-top(less) sex-and-slavery potboiler Mandingo (1975), but just dig this list of other vintage, nudity-laden gems: Blue City (1986) with Ally Sheedy; Hurricane (1979) with Mia Farrow; Jekyll & Hyde... Together Again (1982) with Elvira and featuring the guy who played the pill-popping pharmacist on Fridays; King of the Gypsies (1978) with Susan Sarandon's right breast; Partners (1982), the straight-cop/gay-cop buddie movie staring Ryan O'Neal and John Hurt; and the pre-Exorcist supernatural spooker The Possession of Joel Delany (1972).

Boarding Gate (2007) is a French-made action-thriller showcase for bad-ass Italian beauty Asia Argento. Here she plays a former prostitute who pays a surprise visit to her former pimp (Michael Madsen), who has reinvented himself as a financial tycoon. Drugs, power games, and international intrigue soon come into play, in much the same manner that Asia's clothes come off her body-quickly, tantalizingly, and with extreme skill. Don't be late for Boarding Gate.

Clint Eastwood's first "Dirty Harry" sequel, Magnum Force (1973), pits our hero against a lawless police death squad and arrives on DVD in a new Special Edition. Among the mayhem created by the barbarians-in-blue that Harry pursues is the shooting up of a bikini-free pool party that features young Suzanne Somers skinny-dipping. The good news is that we see her topless two's company. The bad news is that she gets shot before she can show off her dirty hairy.

The low-budget, high-concept horror comedy Stump the Band (2006) follows the exploits of an all-female punk combo whose tour bus makes the mistake of breaking down in the vicinity of an axe-swinging psycho. The movie makes good on its promise of blood and guts, along with plenty of tits and butts too-and even some bush, scintillatingly served up by bottomless (and very appropriately named) costar Becky Boxer.
