Cat Chaser (1989)

Novelist Elmore Leonard’s books have been the basis for a ton of taut films simmering with the realized potential for violence and sex, with Jackie Brown (1997) and 52 Pick-up (1986) being two of the best realized among them. Benefitting from a script co-written by Leonard, maverick director Abel Ferrara has fashioned an edgy exploration of the power of sexual attraction to lead a man to the brink of extinction with Cat Chaser (1989). Robocop Peter Weller stars as a potentially violent wayfarer lured to an exotic, dangerous locale, where he succumbs to the potent sexual allure of an adventurous enchantress played by Kelly McGillis and risks the wrath of her murderous husband. The film's most infamous scene happens just past the one hour mark when Kelly's on-screen husband Tomás Milián makes her disrobe at gun point and then runs his gun all over her naked body. A more salacious version of the scene made its way to VHS but has not been included in any subsequent home video release, including some shots of McGillis spread eagle with the gun between her legs. The entire experience made the actress give up acting for over a decade, so it's probably for the best that the extended version of the scene is lost to the dustbin of history.
