Ms. Fanservice/Film: Difference between revisions

* "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 1one or 2two 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.

* [[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 (execptexcept 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 cleavage-bearing, tight -outfit -wearing aunt on ''[[Hannah Montana]]''. (A Disney show no less!!) talk Talk about ''[[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]''.

* [[Sigourney Weaver]] of ''[[Galaxy Quest]]'' ends up suffering [[Clothing Damage]]. She [[Lampshade Hanging|hangs a lampshade]] on her role as Ms. Fanservice in the ''[[Show Within a Show|''Galaxy Quest]]'' TV show]]:

{{quote|'''Gwen DeMarco:''' Fred, you had a part people loved. I mean, my ''TV Guide'' interview was six paragraphs about my BOOBS''boobs'' and how they fit into my suit. No-one bothered to ask me what I do on the show.

** ''[[Mad Magazine]]'' addressed this directly in their parody of ''[[Fantastic Voyage]]'' as the main characters going on their mission give their exposition introductions - she says "I'm going because wait and see how I look in a skin-tight diving suit!"

** And don't forget the warden's assessment in ''[[The Shawshank Redemption|warden]]'s assessment': "What say you there, fuzzy britches?"

** To a lesser degree in ''[[Cabin Fever]]'', where she has numerous nude scenes and for most of the rest of the movie, is wearing skin-tight sweaters and jeans. There's a [[Slo Mo|slow-mo]] [[Male Gaze|close-up of her butt]](in jeans). To top it off, her character, Marcy, changes lovers at the drop of a hat and is shown to be a vigorous lover, even when she's supposedly depressed.

* An early [[Jennifer Connelly]] film called ''[[Career Opportunities]]'', had her [[Gainaxing|bouncing around]] the whole film in a thin white tank top with [[Vapor Wear|no room for anything underneath]].

** Speaking of Jennifer Connelly, back when she was younger and not Hollywood-skinny in ''[[The Rocketeer (film)|The Rocketeer]]'', she spent the latter half of the movie running around in a low-cut silk dress.

** Speaking of Jennifer Connelly, ''[[The Hot Spot]]'' includes a scene where Connelly and another actress sit around topless having a conversation for no particular reason.

** Speaking of Jennifer Connelly, how about the [[Black Bra and Panties]] she shows off in ''[[Some Girls]]''?

* [[Cyd Charisse]]<nod>'s legs in any number of MGM musicals.

* ''In [[The Last House on the Left]]'', (2009 film)|the recent2009 remake of ''The Last House on the Left'']], the [[Riki Lindhome|bad girl]] barely wears anything in the last half, and actually strips off her t-shirt within seconds of being introduced. Also for the gorn crowd, the evil teens' abuse victims are killed while stripped down, as well as the bad girl, who is wearing only her panties as she fights with the heroes. And then she's grazed on both sides of the head and knocked against the bathroom wall, and left bleeding out in a sexually suggestive pose. For a thriller which doesn't focus on this aspect in dialogue, it sure relished the [[Male Gaze]] in the way it was shot.

* ''[[Class]]'': A 1983 teenage sex comedy. Every 80s sex comedy is required by law to have at least one female character dedicated to fanservice of some type. [[Virginia Madsen]] serves that purpose here, with a slapstick scene that ends up with half her blouse being torn off.

* ''[[X-Men (film)|X Men]]: First Class]]'' has [[Mad Men|January Jones]] as ''Emma Frost''.

** 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 gympantsgym pants before she goes for a swim.

*** See also ''[[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|Salma Hayek's]]'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.

* 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.)
