Every so often a nude scene gets paired with a song that, for better or worse, ends up making it that much more memorable, and in honor of its theatrical debut which took place 40 years ago this week, we’re commemorating another sexy comic book character brought to life on the big screen by a buxom blond - Sheena: Queen of the Jungle, portrayed in the 1984 fantasy adventure Sheena by the titillating Tanya Roberts.
Before she became the hottest MILF in the Midwest on That 70s Show, this model-turned-actress had tongues wagging and tons wanking thanks to her amazing - and surprising - nudity as the sultry heroine in this PG-rated flick.

At just eighteen minutes in, Tanya’s three beautiful Bs come on screen. Her barenaked body as she washes off in a waterfall is treated with the exact level of reverence it deserves, backed by a soaring musical accompaniment that’s complete with a celebratory cymbal crash as she splashes into the water (probably even timed perfectly with the splash felt against zippers in theaters everywhere).

This isn’t a second-long flash of flesh, no, audiences are meant to drink in this moment and enjoy it for all it’s worth. The music reflects the sheer epicness of a nude scene most moviegoers probably didn’t expect, and we guarantee the score wasn’t the only thing swelling back then, or now with every racy rewatch.
