[[File:Drew Decker.png|350px|thumb|right|link=Scary Movie|You'd almost forget she's being chased by a killer. <ref> Source: ''[[Scary Movie]]'' </ref>]]
* "Nudie Cutie" director ''[[Russ Meyer]]'' pretty much is the live action embodiment of this trope. Starting with only a few Ms. Fanservices in his earliest films Russ later considered it ridiculous to only include one or two essentially [[Fanservice Extra|Fanservice Extras]] per film. Over time nearly all of the main and supporting female characters in Russ' films were Buxom, long legged, hour glass figured amazons, Starting with ''[[Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!]]'' and including such [[Cult Classic]]s such as ''[[Vixen!]]'' and ''[[Valley of the Supervixens]]''. Somewhat sadly by his last film UP his films had somewhat degraded into surrealistic softcore porn and not his ultimate vision of this trope becoming common in mainstream films.▼
Examples of [[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]] in [[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] include:
▲* "Nudie Cutie" director
* [[Dolly Parton]] and [[Elvira, Mistress of the Dark]] are essentially also the female embodiments of this trope. Both women carefully built (figuratively and literally) their appearances to be this and are Ms. fanservices in every (except for ''[[Steel Magnolias]]'' for Dolly) film or TV appearance they have ever made.
** Although technically Dolly one ups this by playing Miley Cyrus's cleavage-bearing, tight-outfit-wearing aunt on ''[[Hannah Montana]]''. (A Disney show no less!!) Talk about [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]].
Line 7 ⟶ 10:
'''Fred Kwan:''' You were... umm, wait...
'''Gwen DeMarco:''' I repeated the computer, Fred. }}
** ''[[Galaxy Quest]]'' [[Captain Obvious|is a parody/satire of]] ''[[Star Trek]]''. [[Captain Obvious|This is supposed to be a
*** And presumably Uhura in particular
* Hardly a new concept, as many an early Hollywood film gratuitously featured [[The Chick|one single female character]] who was there for one reason only. Think back to [[Raquel Welch]] relegated to the scuba bikini in ''[[Fantastic Voyage (film)|Fantastic Voyage]]'' or the famous fur bikini in ''One Million Years B.C.''.
** ''[[Mad Magazine]]'' addressed this directly in their parody of ''
** And don't forget the warden's assessment in ''[[The Shawshank Redemption]]'': "What say you there, fuzzy britches?"
* [[James Bond|Bond Girls]].
Line 46 ⟶ 49:
* [[Scarlett Johansson]] stripping down to her red lingerie in ''[[He's Just Not That Into You]]''. As David Letterman once put it, "I cannot thank you enough."
** And even though she says one guy has an ass "(she wants) to dry-hump," the makers are kind enough to let the audience (specifically the men) get a shot of Scarlett wearing ''very'' clingy gym pants before she goes for a swim.
*** See also ''[[Lost in Translation (film)|Lost in Translation]]'', ''[[The Spirit]]'' and [[Marvel Cinematic Universe|any film where she plays Black Widow]] (there are many - [[Even the Girls Want Her|some of whom aren't even male]] - who agree with [https://twitter.com/#!/jaaymillz/status/199246553926479873 this]{{context}}).
* ''[[Wild Wild West (film)|Wild Wild West]]''. [[Salma Hayek]]'s character sure does look good. It helps that she spends a good chunk of the film in little more than a [[Of Corsets Sexy|corset]]. Hayek's character is a particularly egregious example, as she's basically extraneous to the film's plot.
* Pretty much every female character in ''[[Sucker Punch]]''.
Line 57 ⟶ 60:
* At least one group of young science fiction fans went to see ''[[Lifeforce]]'' under the impression that it would be an actual science fiction movie as opposed to "Naked Vampire Chick from Outer Space." (It also featured Patrick Stewart, though, so it wasn't all bad. And the special effects were pretty nice, too. Both of them, if you know what I mean.)
* If you like your movies [[Darker and Edgier]], [[Maggie Gyllenhaal]] often fills this role.
* Drew Decker from ''[[Scary Movie]]'' starts making sexy poses after the killer rips off her clothes leaving her in her bra.
