Lea Thompson says Tom Cruise rescued her from filming topless scene

So he maneuvered matters in such as way as to get nakkid with Lea Thompson. That's a gentleman.

that's one way of interpreting it. The other would be he just wanted to take it out.

More like Tammy Cruise didn’t want to see any pussy or boobies that would make him go ewwwww!

This makes me kind of like him

R4 Thank you

Although at the height of his power he had Parmount remove his penis scene from VHS releases.

but then came the internet..........

I had this on video when I was very young and kept replaying that scene. That and the opening scene of the Terminator.

There is someone or someones (probably paid Scientology shills) trolling this site with threads designed to make Cruise look good and his defectors look bad. STAY WOKE, BITCHES.

R9 Don't make a big ass conspiracy theory out of it, All these threads are posted by the same Tom Cruise Troll which is me. I didn't make up the post though, Lea Thompson said that today herself in the link provided in the OP .

I’ve always liked her. Met her once a few years ago and she was very sweet (and tiny) in person.

Well, you have to admire Tom for showing his cock:

That's not his...

Doesn't the camera pan down his body to show it's him, R13?

That's the way I seem to remember it.

It is him. He wouldn't have tried to have it removed from prints later on if it wasn't.

That was when guys had pubic hair.

Yeah, it's too bad guys shave their bush these days.

Interesting fun fact,....Lucille Ball and Gary Morton produced this film. No joke.

R15, why do you think Tom tried to have the cock scene deleted from later prints?

What was he worried about?

I guess it's a nice story, but why would TC's showing his cock make Lea more willing to show her boobs?

r19 he had become a major movie star and probably feared it looked sleazy or something. It actually was removed from some VHS releases. It was kind of a thing to find the original released ones that contained it. I can remember Rosie O in her Tommy days on her talk show discussing it with Kate Hudson. Rosie was like I don't see it. Kate said you have to watch it taped off HBO or someplace that didn't edit it.

(ignore the fact that Rosie was pretending to want to see a penis.......that is another thread.)

Even though his cock was very glib.

[quote]It actually was removed from some VHS releases.

I think it's on the DVD copy I have.

My point was this was a sleazy maneuver by Tom. What straight guy wouldn't want to get naked with young Lea. That is not my idea of a rescue.

It was never removed from anywhere. It is all how it's presented. VHS rarely if ever presented a movie in it's original aspect ratio. When LaserDisc were around they used the OAR and you saw the whole picture VHS was formatted to fit in the box shape of those current TV's and if something was on the bottom or top they were cut off. That's why directors hated pan and scan and wanted DVD to present their work in letterbox, and why TVs of today aren't box shaped anymore.

So what you're saying, R25, is that his cock is so small it was easily cropped out.

This was pre Scientology when he was just a lapsed Catholic.

But the more important question is why the Ball would be part of this cock fest considering her legendary prudishness?

It looked delicious. All of you queens would have been on your knees.

R27, Gary talked her into it.

Gary’s name is on the credits as producer, not Lucy’s.

Lucy was a prude? Wasn’t she a prostitue before she became famous?

[quote]It looked delicious. All of you queens would have been on your knees.

Yeah, it looks decent.

He's cut with a nice bush.

Yes, because the sexiest thing in the world is to get some woman naked with you on a set in front of a bunch of teamsters who are all staring at you while a director and DP maneuver your bodies and tell you how to make it look like you're fucking (and enjoying yourself.)

[quote]Lucy was a prude? Wasn’t she a prostitue before she became famous?

Yes, every actor in Hollywood, male and female were prostitutes. It's one of the requirements to getting a SAG card.
