 First you had 007 aka Daniel Craig stripping down and getting wet all over Casino Royale (the chase scene at the airport, the tight trunks scene, the torture scene, the tuxedo in the shower scene, the jumping in the flood scene).
Then the Spartans fought their wars in red Speedos. Their rippling ripping muscles glistening with dirt and art directed sweat scene after scene after scene. We even had a lingering shot of King Leonidas' butt. In the comic of course some Spartans were indeed naked.
Eastern Promises with Viggo Mortensen was released in the US and there supposedly is a four minute fight scene involving Viggo's character au naturel in a Turkish bath house. Can't expect a towel to hang on with all that hustling ey?
And finally we have Beowulf. Beowulf fights Grendel in a state of dishabille as well. It's acrazy fight with a lot of tumbling, flying, jumping, scooting, zooming save that for some reason, a beam, a bottle, a helmet, a body, a piece of furniture just covers the goods.
Will the trend continue in 2008?
Hell, some of us hope so! 
 | Two possible soundtracks for these scenes come to mind:
1. "Everybody was Bomba Fighting, those kids were fast as lightning.
In fact it was a little bit frightening, but they did it with expert timing!"
2. Vince and Hank rapping their infamous hit, "Who's Bomba?" ;-D |
 | Ha ha ha. I do sing that Kung Fu fighting song to with the words Bomba Fighting!
I mean with all that CG and fancy stunts and all that, someone just has to up the ante with fight scenes.
Let's go Hollywood. |
 | Haven't seen Beowulf but your description of those strategically located props reminded me of that scene in Austin Powers with Liz Hurley in the same room as Mike Myers. He was behind her supposedly naked and all these things were keeping the viewers form seeing the family jewels. hahahahaaaahaaaaa! |
| Xerxes: Consider the fate of your women.
Spartan King Leonidas: Clearly you don't know our women! I might as well have marched them up here judging by what I've seen.
I love it.
Aspiring Spartan Woman here too! Awoo!
Bloodlust flows through my veins, watch out. Well, bloodlust and dark chocolate...

 | Bomba is the new Black!
Love this entry, K! *silly grin over bakbakan-in-the-buff*
|
 | Bomba fighting inspires creativity... and keeps people's eyes open... |
 | bomba fighting comes second only to bomba loving. lust, caution anytime! :<) |
| I have to agree with EB on this. Bomba or not, let's make love, not war! ;-D |
 | On the female side of Bomba fighting,the chick fight between Nefetiri and Anuksanamun played by Rachel Ward and Patricia Velasquez respectively in The Mummy Returns was hot although they were only clad in gold bikinis...Watch out for the split and block move! |
 | Jon, let's not forget Druna. Though she's not a movie yet. |
| aaah, druuna........bomba lover yan more than fighter. :<) |
| maybe because the is no actress alive who is built like her. and bombaloves like her. by the way, her name has 2 u's. :<) |
| serena williams has the body. maybe if they can put jessica alba's face, we'll have a perfect druuna actress. :<) |
| I stand corrected on the Druuna spelling.
See, now I feel like reading Druuna. Wonder if I can borrow any from Asha. What is the state of Heavy Metal comics now? |
