Perhaps one of the greatest tropes in all of cinema is the two girl/one guy threesome! It's been utilized in film and on television as a way to let you know that the guy involved is pretty damn cool to swing being the only guy in a threesome.
We're gonna go ahead and save the best television threesomes for another list, but here are five of mainstream cinema's most skinsational threesomes, complete with GIF evidence from each scene!
Wild Things
Actors: Denise Richards, Neve Campbell, Matt Dillon
Arguably the most memorable thing about this steamy neo-noir is the amazing threesome that happens at the 57-minute mark!It was Denise Richards' nude debut and she spends the bulk of the two and a half minute scene topless! It was also—according to the actress' memoir "Real Girl Next Door"—the first time that she or co-star Neve Campbell had ever kissed a woman, so they spent some time together preparing for the moment...
Richards’ second big movie wasWild Things, which required her to appear nude and called for a lesbian kissing scene with Neve Campbell, as well as a threesome. Richard’s breasts became the focus of several storyboards, which were sent between her lawyer, the producers, and the director in order to determine how much would show. At first it was decided that only one would be filmed, though they eventually filmed both. Then, “the producers asked if I was okay French-kissing Neve on camera. Usually it’s that pretend movie kiss, but they wanted a kiss kiss. I thought, ‘Okay, I’m sure she has nice lips.'” In order to get ready to film their kissing scene, Richards writes that “Neve and I went into her trailer and shared a pitcher of margaritas before we did the scene. Neither of us had ever kissed another girl … Everyone has a first time.” —(Via The Daily Beast)
Thank goodness they took the time to loosen things up on set, because it definitely paid off on-screen... even though it would be a full six years before Neve would make her own nude debut!
American Psycho
Actors: Cara Seymour, Krista Sutton, Christian Bale
To prepare for this sexy and ultimately highly narcissistic threesome, Christian Bale and director Mary Harron watched a bunch of porn and picked out scenarios they liked, with Bale even doing stick figure drawings to illustrate the various poses. During a 2012 chat with Graham Fuller from Interview Magazine, Bale said he was intentionally making himself look ridiculous with his constant posturing and flexing...
FULLER: There’s a scene inAmerican Psychowhen you’re on the bed having sex with two prostitutes and you’re flexing your arms in front of a video camera. Do you remember thinking, I’m going to look absurd?
BALE: No. I never viewed Patrick Bateman as a real character. It wasn’t going to work unless I made myself look absurd. There were so many times in that movie where I had to take that leap, and by the time I did that scene it really didn’t feel like much of a leap at all. It felt very much like just another day on the set ofAmerican Psycho.
That's one set I would have killed to be on, that's for sure!
A Clockwork Orange
Actors: Gillian Hills, Barbara Scott, Malcolm McDowell
One of the most memorable moments in a film positively rife with them is this sped up threesome set to an electronic version of "The William Tell Overture." As reported by Mental Floss, the scene where Gillian and Barbara accompany McDowell's Alex back to his bedroom for a fast-motion threesome took nearly thirty minutes to film in its entirety. It was intended by director Stanley Kubrick to be a bargaining chip to avoid the X-rating, but that ended up backfiring...
Kubrick chose to use fast-motion blur tofilm the sex scenebetween Alex and the two women from the record shop in order to ensure that it wouldn't be specifically cited by censors for sexually explicit content. The scene ended up contributing to the film's eventual X rating, not for explicit content, but because the censors feared the technique would be co-opted by actual pornographers who could speed up their films as a loophole to get their films passed by the ratings board.
It remains one of the most ridiculous scenes in cinema, a frantic combination of Benny Hill and Ken Russell. In other words,something only a mad genius like Kubrick could cook up.
Love 3D
Actors: Aomi Muyock, Klara Kristin, Karl Glusman
Director Gaspar Noé has a history of making sex entirely un-sexy, but his 2015 effort Love was undeniably designed to titillate. His three leading actors were all relative unknowns when they shot the film, and—according to imdb—Noé took a mostly hands-off approach when shooting the film's multiple, unsimulated love scenes...
Noésaid that he did not direct the actors having sex or choreograph them. He said he just put them in their positions with respect to the camera and then say, "Okay, looks good, start the scene. Let's go." He added, "Once you put the people in the right positions it's okay. They know how to do it."
It definitely paid off, and if you've never seen a money shot in 3D, we highly recommend this flick!
The Godson
Actors: Uschi Digard, Deborah McGuire, Mario Santini
Seriously stacked Swedish beauty Uschi Digard takes part in a skinterracial threesome alongside Deborah McGuire in this mostly forgotten X-rated sexploitation flick. Notorious sleaze-meister Harry Novak's 1971 film is perhaps best remembered for beating The Godfather to the screen by an entire year, thus missing out on the mafia craze inspired by that Oscar-winning film's success.
Perhaps the most interesting tidbit about this particular film is that its writer and director, William Rotsler's next writing credit was an episode of "The Real Ghostbusters" sixteen years later.
