Review by Keith G ★★ 2

John Baxter (Giuliano Gemma) is now a mix of driver/pilot/guide on an African safari, accompanied as ever by his chimpanzee companion Beba. Baxter and Beba discover a pyjama wearing amnesiac woman (Ursula Andress) in the jungle, her only memory a word that no one recognises. Dutch arms dealer Van Deer (Jack Palance) wants her dead in case she starts to remember. Van Deer is trying to start a tribal war so that he can get his hands on a uranium mine on the territory. Romance, comedy and adventure ensues. Sequel to the previous years Africa Express is a bit of a muddle, only Gemma returns as the same character, with Andress and Palance playing different roles, though Palance does bring…

Review by GroverKrantz ★ 4

Jack Palance plays an smuggler and all around bad guy who's hunting Bond Girl #1, her newly found accomplice, and his pet chimp, Biba, who sadly, steals what little show there is to steal here, because, who doesn't love a chimp, huh?

Sound familiar? See Africa Express (1975). Same John Baxter character, with shorter hair this time around. Same pet chimp Biba and priest friend wearing the same safari hat, but with a different name. Palance and Ursula are back as well, but with different, yet similar roles. Jack dresses a bit nicer in this one, but still smokes a pipe and wears knee high boots.

Not recommended, even for Palance fans. Ursula Andress fans? Probably not even those. If you still want to watch this, but haven't seen Africa Express, watch that instead as it is slightly better.

Review by Paddy Feehan ★

Monumentally dull sequel to a film I haven’t seen.

Review by John Charles ★½

This sequel to AFRICA EXPRESS brings back Guiliano Gemma, Biba the Chimp, Ursula Andress, and Jack Palance, but the latter two are playing different characters even though there is no change in their appearance. This time out, Palance is a Dutch arms dealer who seeks to help one tribe destroy another; Gemma, Andress, and the monkey intercede. More of the same means less this time around as this one is mostly tediously unfunny.

You know it when you see it: here are some movies that got sex scenes right.

Linda Holmes

It is a happy coincidence that our "What makes a good sex scene?" episode came out in the same week as Challengers, a film about a romance triangle in the tennis world starring Josh O'Connor, Zendaya and (not pictured) Mike Faist. Niko Tavernise/Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures hide caption

It is a happy coincidence that our "What makes a good sex scene?" episode came out in the same week as Challengers, a film about a romance triangle in the tennis world starring Josh O'Connor, Zendaya and (not pictured) Mike Faist.

What makes a good sex scene? It can be easier spot bad sex, but Aisha Harris, Christina Tucker, Ronald Young, Jr. and I tried to focus on the good this week on Pop Culture Happy Hour. You can listen to our full conversation here. (We didn't originally plan for this episode to run the same week as our episode about Challengers , which is out in theaters now, but it's a happy coincidence, since that film has gotten a lot of attention — probably too much, relative to its other merits — for the sex scenes involving its three leads. It's really very good .)

Movie Reviews

Watch a tense romantic triangle play out on the tennis court in 'challengers'.

It's often very obvious when a sex scene is bad, just like when a sex scene in a book is bad. It can get so uncomfortable to watch that you have to leave the room (and not in a way that feels true to the story). One of my personal tells for a bad sex scene is when all I can think about is how hard the actors are trying to persuade me that the characters are having a good time. For example, there has been much good discussion in recent years about Showgirls being a more interesting and competent project than it originally got credit for, but in that one pool scene (if you know it, you know it), all I can see is the effort.

Lauren Bacall And The 'Sex? What Sex?' Kind Of Movie Sex

It's not always as clear which scenes are good . That's partly because they serve so many different functions, all of which look different, and all of which can be effective. Furthermore, you don't want to confuse whether a sex scene is used well in a film with whether it's hot to you personally, despite the fact that there is overlap between those considerations.

In the 'Last Dance,' Magic Mike leaves his thong-and-dance routine behind

Here's what I mean: When Aisha talks about the sequence near the beginning of Magic Mike's Last Dance , it's not irrelevant that the scene is, to her (and to me), hot. But it also makes sense in the context of the film and the franchise, partly because of the way it sets up the power dynamic between Mike (Channing Tatum) and Max (Salma Hayek Pinault). Mike is older now, he knows more, and the way he approaches a lap dance is actually different than in earlier movies.

And not all good sex scenes are hot in the same ways. The one I mentioned in the episode, from the romantic drama Love & Basketball , is sexy, yes. But it's also a scene between young adults (the talented basketball players Monica and Quincy, played by Sanaa Lathan and Omar Epps), and as such, it incorporates a tentativeness that's not present in Magic Mike's Last Dance , to say the least. As Ronald pointed out during our discussion, that sex scene is quite different from one that takes place later in Monica and Quincy's relationship, when they're older and know each other better. That certainly feels true to real life, but it's not always reflected in Hollywood films, where I would tentatively estimate that 90% of on-screen sex is more idealized and thus less intimate than real-life sex, in part because it isn't allowed to change over the course of a relationship.

Movie Interviews

'like it or not, we live in oppenheimer's world,' says director christopher nolan.

Even further from the hotness of the lap dance scene is Ronald's pick: the imagination of Kitty Oppenheimer (Emily Blunt) running wild in Oppenheimer. While her husband (Cillian Murphy) is being interrogated, she pictures him having sex with his mistress, Jean Tatlock (Florence Pugh). It goes by quickly enough that it might seem like a Christopher Nolan flourish for flourish's sake, but it serves the purpose of letting you feel her pain over her husband's affair. Her relationship with Robert doesn't look especially romantic in the film, let alone sexually charged; she finds herself consumed by the idea that he was having hot sex with this other woman, and she locks eyes with her vision of a naked Tatlock and finds herself tormented. It's not really the intent of the scene to titillate the audience, just to give specificity to the shape of Kitty's preoccupation with the affair.

What makes a good sex scene?

Christina raised another really important point, which is that sex scenes also collide with viewers at very specific moments. Her example from Bound , and the scenes between Violet (Jennifer Tilly) and Corky (Gina Gershon), touches on (among other things) her own history. It's an underappreciated aspect of the sex-in-movies discourse: representation matters in these scenes as much as anywhere else. I always wish I saw more sex scenes in movies that featured a broader variety of body types; it's still really rare to see ones that feature anybody who is even average sized. This is one of the reasons I'm curious about the upcoming season of Bridgerton , which places its focus on the gorgeous and curvaceous Penelope (Nicola Coughlan).

Looking for 'nomance': Study finds teens want less sex in their TV and movies

Good sex scenes are like any other kind of good filmmaking, honestly: it comes down to execution with purpose and care, done relative to whatever the function of the scene might be.

Whether that's spiciness or conflict or relationship growth or (as in the case of Bound ) setting up a steamy neo-noir story that wouldn't be the same if it weren't hot as heck, form follows function, ideally.

Jelly Roll's Wife Bunnie XO Hits Back at Haters After Meeting Hall Pass

The rock & ryan reynolds butted heads on 'red notice,' issues resolved, the rock on 'red notice' clashed with ryan reynolds ... issues now resolved.

12:01 PM PT -- A rep for Amazon MGM Studios tells TMZ ... "Dwayne Johnson and Seven Bucks have been incredible partners on 'Red One' -- a film that audiences of all ages are going to love this holiday season. Our testing has been very strong -- the reaction from CinemaCon speaks for itself -- and we couldn’t have made it without Dwayne’s constant work and support."

They add, "Any reporting that implies that we got to this point with him showing up 7-8 hours late to set is both ridiculous and false."

The Rock got into a tiff with Ryan Reynolds while they were working on a movie together years ago -- and while it wasn't a blowup fight as has been suggested, it was a real thing.

Production sources with direct knowledge of the incident tell TMZ that Ryan -- who was the lead in their 2021 action flick "Red Notice," opposite The Rock and Gal Gadot -- did, in fact, confront Dwayne while they were shooting in 2020 ... at the height of the pandemic.

While The Wrap -- which first reported this -- claimed it was a "huge fight" they had ... our sources say it wasn't nearly as dramatic, but that RR did have a talk with his costar.

We're told there's some truth to the notion Ryan was upset The Rock was repeatedly late to set ... something that came to a head when Ryan spoke to him about it, which we're told was affecting the shooting schedule and the production at large during a complicated time.

Remember ... in the thick of COVID, film sets had strict protocols that made it difficult to film as is -- so with The Rock running behind, our sources say it eventually became an issue.

In any case ... we're told the two men talked and that Dwayne came back to work the very next day -- the shoot continued without further issue. We're told Ryan and The Rock didn't let their headbutt moment derail things ... they got on with the film, and press afterward.

As for where things stand now ... one source with direct knowledge tells us they're all good -- and that whatever concern there was at the time was dealt with professionally. More importantly, we're told their chat didn't torpedo the movie at all. As for the exact number of hours The Rock was supposedly late ... our sources say it's been greatly exaggerated.

You can glean as much in the fact that 'Red Notice 2' is reportedly in the works with Netflix ... as it was a huge hit for the streaming giant, and it still holds a major record there.

FWIW, The Rock is being accused of repeated tardiness on a new movie he's working on for Amazon ... but the studio flatly denied that, telling The Wrap there weren't any problems on set as a result of The Rock, and that they were grateful to have him aboard as a partner.

Netflix also didn't lean into any reports of a clash with Ryan -- calling DJ a "consummate professional." We've reached out to Amazon and Netflix too ... so far, no word back.
