  1. Wait wild things has a male gay scene? I need to watch this.

  4. I knew it! I’ve maintained for years that this was an implied sub-plot that the 90s were too afraid to show. I always thought Kevin Bacon was secretly bi and Susie figured it out and forced Matt Dillon (a manipulative sociopath) to hit on him in the bar and use that to bring him into then scheme.

  5. That’s old news, but I’m glad to have that tidbit make some rounds again. It was cut from the script before shooting because financiers thought that 2 men kissing was going too far in a movie where 2 female high school seniors take part in a threesome with their school guidance counselor and have a one-on-one sex scene in a pool. The 90’s were a real bad time for homosexuality.

    Bacon had a no-nudity clause in his contract but allowed the shot of him hanging dong to make it into the film. So that at least some male nudity made it into the film.
