Body Heat
(1981)
In Lawrence Kasdan's film-noirish crime drama modeled
after The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946):
- the tempting, sizzling femme fatale Matty
Walker (Kathleen Turner) with her famous line toward simple-minded
Florida attorney Ned Racine (William Hurt) - "You're not too
smart, are you? I like that in a man"; he willingly responded:
"What else do you like? Lazy, ugly, horny, I've got 'em all."
- the erotic, steamy sex scene in which Ned, about
to leave Matty's house, was enticed to enter by an eager-looking
Matty inside; he broke into her locked house through the porch bay
window with a garden chair (to the sound of wind chimes) to the awaiting,
horny and receptive Matty; after feeling her breasts and crotch through
her clothing, she laid back on the floor; he removed her panties
to make love to her, exclaiming: "It's so right!"; she
begged: "Please, Ned. Do it!"
Matty: "Please, Ned. Do it!"

- the film's numerous highly-charged, non-stop sweaty
sex scenes, with Ned begging: "Gimme a break here. It takes
a little while..You are killing me. I'm red, I'm sore...Look at
it. It's about to fall off."
- the scene of Ned's mistaken delivery of a very forward
proposition to Matty's visiting high school girlfriend Mary Ann Simpson
(Kim Zimmer): "Hey lady, do you wanna f--k?"
- the controversial scene in which Matty's young niece
Heather (Carola McGuinness) caught the two in an oral sex act but
couldn't identify the man with the erection
- the fight-to-the-death with Matty's husband Edmund
Walker (Richard Crenna) during a botched murder in the hall of his
opulent home
- Matty's final assuring words to Ned: "Whatever
happens, you must believe that I love you" which eventually
proved to be empty

- the surprise ending when Ned, who was serving time
in the Florida State Penitentiary for Matty's murder, was suspicious
that Matty had planted Mary Ann's body in the boathouse before
the explosion, and escaped with her own life; this was confirmed
for him in the startling conclusion when he saw Matty's picture
in a 1968 yearbook, with her name displayed as "Mary Ann Simpson" (with
the nickname "The Vamp" and her ambition:
"To be rich and live in an exotic land")
