Nude Scenes from
Easy Rider (1969)

New Nudes are Big News!

“Even the greatest art works can be revitalized by new technologies,” writes Ben Greenman in the latest issue of The New Yorker.

And he’s not talking about the restoration of the Sistine Chapel.

Rather, he’s referring to the painstaking work that goes on everyday at the skinlabs here at MrSkin.com. Namely, checking to see if Heather Graham’s naked butt is visible in the newly released Blu-ray version of James Toback’s Two Girls and a Guy.

Since movies began appearing in the high-definition Blu-ray format in June of 2006, Mr. Skin’s technicians haven been re-watching every available movie to see if anything has changed in terms of nudity.

The results have been more than surprising. In fact, they’re downright skintastic, as the Huffington Post reports.

1969 stands as the year that pop culture evolved from the mass grooviness of Woodstock and the far-out giant leap of the moon landing to the horror of the Manson Family murders and the Hells Angels stomping out flower power at Altamont.

It was also the year that Hollywood erupted with new creative freedom, emboldened by expanding societal mores and the new MPAA rating system.

Filmmakers could now dip into the palette of patently adult material, including coarse language, unflinching violence, and, most importantly, sex and nudity.

Let’s trip on back to 1969 and dig nine classic nude scenes from that headiest of daze gone by.

1. EASY RIDER
Toni Basil

Easy Rider is indisputably one of the hippie era’s ultimate artistic statements. Toni Basil’s “Hey Mickey!” video is one of the most indelible media images of the 1980s. How interesting that one cultural touchstone unwittingly begat another. On acid. Naked.

Mr. Skin’s DVD Pick of the Week

Easy Rider (1969)—Blu-Ray
STUDIO: Sony
NUDE: Luana Anders (breasts), Toni Basil (breasts, butt), Sabrina Scharf (breasts)
Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda are far-out hippies on choppers who set out to find America—and sell a lot of cocaine—in the classic Easy Rider (1969). Along the way they meet rednecks and turn on a then unknown Jack Nicholson to the wonders of weed. This low-budget sleeper came from nowhere to become a huge box-office hit and single-handedly spawned the biker genre. It's heavy existential ending may bum your high, but scenes like Sabrina Scharf skinny-dipping with Hopper in the commune or a pre-"Mickey" Toni Basil romping naked through Mardi Gras on acid will keep your freak flag flying. Karen Black was also in that Mardi Gras sequence but kept her clothes on.
