More than the zombie attacks, meditations on life and death, and the film\u2019s use of Rudyard Kipling\u2019s \u201cThe Boots,<\/a>\u201d 28 Years Later has audiences going hog wild for a big old hog. The film\u2019s central villain\u2014aside from man himself, of course\u2014Samson (Chi Lewis-Parry), the alpha infected, lives up to his namesake by running nude throughout the film with a monster baby\u2019s arm dangling between his legs. Yes, the chief of the infected has a huge, intimidating penis, but thanks to British child endangerment laws, it was created through movie magic rather than the blessings of the good lord above. Speaking to Variety<\/a>, Lewis-Parry cleared up what the A.V. Club dubbed 28 Years Later\u2019s\u00a0\u201cdicks-course<\/a>\u201d by clarifying that his piece was artificial for the sake of the film\u2019s young star, Alfie Williams, who was only 13 when the film was made. It protected him and, by proxy, everyone else in Lewis-Parry\u2019s orbit.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were prosthetics,\u201d Lewis-Parry said. \u201cThere\u2019s a law that states, I think, because he\u2019s a child, you\u2019re allowed to have nudity but it has to be fake nudity. It was to protect him. And, as well, I\u2019m really friendly and am always hugging people. I wouldn\u2019t have been doing that if I was fully in the nip!\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Danny Boyle, Samson\u2019s massive\u2014oh, how can we put this\u2014Johnson prevented the director from putting the film\u2019s best scene on YouTube. Hopefully, audiences will come running when they hear about how big Samson\u2019s cob is. But seeing is believing, as Boyle opines.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s annoying is we can\u2019t show it on YouTube because of its content. It\u2019s the perfect illustration of how we want the cameras to work,\u201d Boyle said. \u201cThere\u2019s a scene where the alpha drops into the train. You can see his genitals and then what he\u2019s done to poor Erik from Sweden at the end of the shot, all in one. That was challenging to set up, and we were hoping to exploit it a bit more in the promotion of the film. You have to go to the cinema to see it. It\u2019s worth it. I don\u2019t normally recommend it directly in that way, but that shot is worth it.\u201d<\/p>\n
