Wild Things (1998)

What do you think of this movie?

For me, it's fun, but probably one twist too many.

Kevin Becon snuck his penis in there. I heard there was a deleted shower scene between he and Matt Dillion, but the director thought it too "too gratuitous" (unlike everything else in this movie, right?)

Also, it's surprising that Neve Campbell took this role - as she seems a little too classy for something so trashy and exploitative. She does keep her clothes on, but still makes out with a topless Denise Richards in a pool and pours champaign on her breasts. Plus. the weird phony rape storyline.

It was okay. I always thought Neve Campbell was ugly though.

Champaign? She poured an entire central Illinois city on her breasts? That slut!

Everyone remembers Bacon's nudity and the threesome but for my money Theresa Russell and Bill Murray were the best parts of the film.

It's trashy and ridiculous and over the top, but knows it, which makes it more fun than films like it typically are.

The cast is pretty solid. The ending has a few too many twists, but it all mostly works.

The threesome scene is iconic.

All I remember is Kevin Bacon's dick.

A straight friend has said a scene where a woman (Neve?) has her dress cling to her body is forever seared in his memory.

I usually associate these soft erotic neonoir thrillers with the early-to-mid 90s. This one must've been among the last of the major Hollywood releases in that genre.

Some people feel Neve Campell was miscast. Something about being too intelligent of an actress for this role and the final twist doesn't have as much punch because of it.

I saw it at the time but can't remember much of the plot.

Masquerade is a better movie with Rob Lowe naked and some homoerotic tension/

Robert Wagner was the sugar daddy in this right?

It was OK but Denise Richards has never looked better.

Never Campbell is squinty and annoying. I don't buy Dillon thirsting after her.

Love this movie. The soundtrack provided a definite vibe.

Utter trash. Actors are whores who will do anything for cash.

Even as a young gayling watching this Denise Richards gave me a boner. She was so hot. And then I finished off that boner by slo-mo'ing Bacon's peen.

Dillon was so hot. This and There's Something About Mary made me notice him. I was too young for his 80s heartthrob era.

It’s okay Denise Richards was gorgeous. I always though Neve Campbell was fug.

by Anonymousreply 20June 24, 2022 10:57 PM

Neve Campbell isn't ugly she's just not a terribly good actress.

by Anonymousreply 21June 24, 2022 10:58 PM

Neve is cute but not beautiful. I think it worked for Scream, The Craft and Party of Five as the shy girl next door but she doesn't work as a sultry vixen. Young Denise was sex on legs and believable as a slut.

This movie is pure trash and pure joy. I love every minute of it.

by Anonymousreply 23June 24, 2022 11:06 PM

I never found Denise attractive, too plastic looking.

Now Matt Dillon…a perfect specimen. Apparently there was a deleted subplot where him and Kevin Bacon were explicitly lovers. I would have loved to see THAT instead of the Charlie Sheen wife’s fake tits.

Denise is a good sport. She was in other cult classics like Starship Troopers and co-starred with late DL fav Paul Walker in the so-bad- it's-good Tammy and the T. Rex. She and Paul looked like a real life, Ken and Barbie.

A ton of fun. Love trashy, glossy Hollywood movies like this. I guess with the rise of internet porn, expensive star-studded erotic thrillers didn't seem as necessary. I think we could use them more than ever these days. Everyone's so fucking uptight and repressed. We could use another movie like this.

R25, I've never heard of Tammy and the T-Rex, that looks like good, stupid fun!

More lasciviousness and impropriety was required, from my recollection.

by Anonymousreply 31June 25, 2022 12:15 AM

I can tell you this movie would not work today with Twitter puritan mob. Same deal with Poison Ivy, The Crush, Eve's Bayou, Cruel Intentions, etc. Look at how Twitter tried to cancel Cuties, Euphoria and Riverdale. Anything with adolescent sexuality is considered pedophilia now for some reason even if the actors are over 18 and clearly adult.

by Anonymousreply 32June 25, 2022 12:27 AM

Yeah, some people feel Neve is too wholesome and/or too intelligent for the Suzy role. She wasn't the director's first choice either, but Neve was a hot property after "Scream" and apparently there weren't any better choices.

I definitely don’t buy neve as white trash

by Anonymousreply 34June 25, 2022 12:48 AM

WIth no mention of the director beyond OP's bj fodder, one wonders if the tweeners (one hopes) here thinks a game team just craps out a film.

John McNaughton also did "Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer," which both explains a lot about "Wild Things" and also shows how he could glam the horror.

Snort.

I’m not into women but Denise Richards was shockingly beautiful in this. I just couldn’t stop looking at her.

by Anonymousreply 38June 25, 2022 4:37 AM

I really like Neve Campbell, and her ingénue presence lends itself well to the twists with her character becoming an increasingly fatal femme fatale, but I wonder what the other Scream star, Rose McGowan, might have brought to the role. More sex, certainly.

by Anonymousreply 39June 25, 2022 2:06 PM

I hate Rose's voice. She sounds like a dude.

by Anonymousreply 40June 25, 2022 4:13 PM

Great campy fun. Theresa Russell is a hoot in it. I saw this film when I was far too young to be watching it (my parents had the DVD). I remember jacking off to Kevin Bacon’s schlong scene when I was an adolescent/young teenager. I recently bought the new Blu-ray that Arrow Video put out and rewatched it after all these years. Matt Dillon is possibly the sexiest man alive in it. He is so hot in this movie that it’s distracting.

by Anonymousreply 41June 25, 2022 4:45 PM

Matt DIllon is one of the few Hollywood actors that I find genuinely hot. Guys like Chris Pratt and Ryan Gosling don't do anything for me but Matt Dillon? He looks great even in his 50s.

No, that scene is actually in the movie, R37.

I always found Neve Campbell very pretty, and she had an expressive face, but she should have worked with someone on her voice. Her line readings were limited.

I do think she improved as an actor after the point when she was in so much stuff in the '90s. Probably her best film performance is in that Altman film she co-produced, The Company (which makes use of her ballet background, and she obviously knew that world well). She was also surprisingly good in that one episode of Mad Men.

Masquerade should have been a hit, and wasn't. It's a lot of fun.
