Nudity

#1 Post by MagnumILWU »

I knew that would get your attention! I don't know if this has been posted, but I remember watching and taping 'Resolutions", back in May of 1988, when it was originally broadcast(I still have the tape!). I noticed something when I was watching it, and looked at the tape when it was over. When all the guys are in the bar, and get into the fight(Part 2), there is a blonde girl, in a black two piece outfit, dancing up behind them. During the fight, she takes off her top, and in a couple of shots, you can see her breasts! With the new DVD's, I took another look just now, and I was right, she's smiling and flashing!(Around 13:10 on the time). I couldn't believe they got away with it back then when I taped it, but they did! You guys take a look and see for yourselves! And if it has been mentioned before, does it really hurt to mention naked breasts again?

In Forty there is almost a breast shot when the lads go into the strip bar......During Magnum's 40th birthday celebration scene at the Chinatown bar, a well-endowed Asian exotic dancer can be seen in the background (in clear view) dancing in a very skimpy T-back bottom (with several clear shots of her backside). This is very racy, almost shocking, for 1987 prime time television and may be a first (woman wearing a T-back with a clear view of the backside).

One word: tape. ;)

They definitely pushed the boundaries on this one. It's amazing it got past the network censors!

I think I wore out our VHS player trying to figure this scene out back in the day!

Here she is from Resolutions part 2. I have the topless photo but I don't want to get on JJs bad side.

There are two girls from the episode Forty.

The Asian girl below I think is a transgender, notice the high cheek bones, not feminine.

The Caucasian girl in the background removes her top but they do not show frontal nudity.

Also was rewatching "don't eat the snow in Hawaii" and noticed in the scene where the Hawaiian hit man is on the estate with binoculars, he looks up at one of the stewardess on the second floor and as she comes to the window her robe swings open and she is clearly nude. Thank god for HD.

I wouldn't exactly say "nude". She's wearing a nightgown... a see-through nightgown, but it's still a nightgown. ;)

Just for science's sake I have checked that scene and it seems that she's not wearing anything below that gown and it swings quite open to proove that. No panties, no bottoms

On Magnum's wall in the kitchen area was a painting of a, very clearly, nude woman. In "Tiger Fan" when he gets the call about Tanaka being killed it is extremely visible in the close up shot.
