Flypaper

To be fair, no matter how bad a movie this is, it has a graphic sex scene with Lucy Liu. So it can't be all bad.

The movie itself is pretty wacky but very entertaining. You just have to ride with it and see how it goes. They just keep beating on the characters until they have nothing left to give. Its hilarious in a strange way but very slapstick towards the end. I enjoyed it!

Lucy Lui sex scene of course, very nice, although she is one of the all time worst performers I have seen in the last decade she has a nice body.

No one has commented on Sadie Frost! This girl puts out an aura of sexuality that is hard to match. Everything from her smallest movements to the sex scene is pretty incredible. She has the ability to switch between succubus and demon in seconds. Gorgeous!

I had never heard of this movie until I saw it mentioned online somewhere that Lucy Liu had done a nude sex scene in it. I, of course, rented the film and watched it. The movie isn't very good, honestly. As for Lucy, she's naked all right, and in a short sex scene, but the shots of her body are very brief and you have to use the pause button on your remote if you want to catch any of it. The sex scene itself is NOT graphic, as one user commented, it's very very tame. Lucy and the guy...I don't know his name...they have sex in a pit of snakes. You get brief glimpses of Lucy's breast(s) and a shot of her butt, but I have a sneaking suspicion that was a body double since we never see her face in the shot. Well, if you're like me, and you watched this movie to see Lucy Liu's nude beauty, you'll only be happy if you don't expect much. She is beautiful but the nudity is short and tame. If you watched this movie for the movie itself, then you probably wasted an hour and a half.

Okay, I'm pretty sure I am the only person in the entire world who liked that movie. And no, before you ask, I'm not a die-hard Lucy Liu fan. Admittedly, this movie was riddled with problems, but I think Quentin Tarantino said it best when he commented on Brian DePalma's "Bonfire of the Vanities" that it takes a director of quality to make a truly disastrous film. A hack wouldn't doesn't take the risks that failed to pay off in Flypaper. That being said, I have to wonder why a film like Flypaper falls so hard when films like "The Unbelievable Truth" launch a prolific career and a borderline cult following. Though the two films are as different as night and day, they both spring from the same impulse: stepping outside a genre and examining it outside the confines of illusionism. For all the griping that goes on about unoriginal, cookie-cutter genre pieces, shouldn't we have just a little generosity when a director has the guts to break the mold? Personally, I was hooked after the very first scene. Anyone can be outrageous. Anyone can be true-to-life. Combining the two takes brass balls, and Klaus Hoch has got him. For sure he's willing to throw a bucket of gratuitous sex and violence in our face, but, believe it or not, there is something rustling behind the curtains in Flypaper. No, we are not supposed to take anything anyone says in the film without a whopping grain of salt. That's part of the point. Every single character is a walking contradiction, a grotesque hybrid of celluloid and flesh. But -God help me, I know this is where I'll lose you- isn't that what it's always been about? We go to the movies. We rent DVDs. We sit back and watch human beings transformed (at best) into morons and (at worst) objects. It's a twisted zero-sum game, and it mirrors real life in ways we don't even want to think about. Flypaper is compared unfavorably with Pulp Fiction and various Cohen Brother films, perhaps because there is no warmth or adulation, no well-thought-out view from nowhere. Essence absolutely refuses to precede existence. These characters are going to do some very stupid, pointless things, and there is no redemption, no "correct" path for them to return to, not even a solid realization of their sad, silly condition.

Flypaper is a rarely seen film by Klaus Hoch(who never made another film) which has a offbeat situation laden with quirky characters- which is what movies of this budget need to be. In the wake of Pulp Fiction you had a lot of films which played on the interconnected aspect of the narrative and Flypaper does just that. The characters are all out to harm someone or seek revenge and if you sit and enjoy the film for what it is this is a decent watch. It also contains a bizarre sex scene featuring Lucy Lui and a pit full of snakes(!!!!) so just for the audacity of this scene you should check Flypaper out.
