The Full Monty (1997) just needed one thing more....

Discussion

Full frontal male nudity.

It is an excellent movie and it holds up far better than I imagined.

It should have showed dong. I'm a straight man. I don't generally seek male nudity, but come on, turn about is fair game. Any movie about a group of unemployed girls putting on a strip show would be filled with nudity. And yet, not a single schlong in all of the Full Monty.

I get even not doing it for the theatrical release. They might have been afraid mainstream audiences couldn't swallow a pecker on film and that it could harm the box office. But have an unrated VHS version that has like 2 seconds of penis.

Boogie Nights showed a big ole fake dick the same year. 1997 could have been the year of the pecker.

Instead, The Full Monty is the eternal cock tease.

It would have made it an 18 certificate and limited the audience. It was a family film in the UK, kids watched it with their parents, it was gentle comedy not supposed to be edgy.

Because it didn’t need it, it wouldn’t have helped the movie, which wasn’t really about cock, and would have just changed all the publicity , the talk and the memory of it to being about cock.

It worked so much better to just relegate dick to being a joke, rather than a feature, or worse, a focus.
