Innocent Innuendo / Films — Live-Action

Go To

  • Used in The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. The King and Queen of the Moon have detachable heads, and the Queen has left her body with the King while her head assists the Baron in escaping. She is making curious little shrieks, gasps, and giggles, to the confusion of the Baron's child sidekick. The Baron explains that the King is tickling the Queen's feet. He is.
  • Played with in Alien: Resurrection. A scantily-dressed female Space Pirate is shown moaning in bed; turns out her lover is giving her a foot massage.
  • An example from American Psycho: what seems to be a sex scene turns out to be Patrick Bateman exercising while a Slasher Movie is playing on video.
  • The first Austin Powers movie, specifically one infamous scene involving the phrase "Number Two" being shouted in a public restroom.
    "WHO DOES NUMBER TWO WORK FOR??!!"
    "That's right, you show that turd who's boss!"
    • Also in the first one is a montage of Austin and Vanessa out on the town, ending with a scene back at the hotel room with the two of them audibly grunting, and Vanessa saying, "Oh come on Austin, get on with it." They're playing Twister.
    • The shadow scenes from the 2nd and 3rd ones.
  • Bad Boys II has the scene where Mike and Marcus visit an electronics store to get help getting footage off of a damaged video camera, and duck into a separate room after a comic mishap ends with a sex tape being broadcasted on every TV in the store. Here, Marcus lets out all the feelings he has about the fact that he'd been accidentally Shot in the Ass by Mike during the opening action scene and has been suffering from erectile dysfunction ever since, without realizing that there's a video camera in there that, thanks to some more comic mishaps, is now broadcasting to the entire store. The result: every customer thinks they're watching a gay couple lay out the problems in their sex life. Mike and Marcus have an Oh, Crap! moment when they look out the door and see that their conversation wasn't actually private.
    Angry customer: In front of my babies, you've got porno and homo shows up in here? What kind of freak-ass store is this? <sees Mike and Marcus> And you two muthafuckas need Jesus!
  • A staple of the Carry On films:
    • In Carry On Camping, Sid Boggle and Bernie Lugg are heard in a tent with Babs saying things like "Can you get it up?" and "Is it in yet?", much to the horror of Joan Fussey and Anthea Meeks, who then discover that the only thing that is being erected is a camping bed.
    • Carry On Doctor: Charlie Roper points out to Nurse Clarke that his thermometer might explode, and she replies that it won't be the case because Matron doesn't appreciate banging in the wards.
    • Carry On Again Doctor: Miss Armitage is rather uncomfortable in the hospital after catching Dr. Nookey in the shower room, and hates being around the medical doctors:
      Miss Armitage: You're all the same. You're only after one thing.
      Dr Stoppidge: No, no, that's quite untrue, Miss Armitage. I only want to get you into bed.
    • Carry On Nurse: When Nurses James and Lloyd help an embarrassed Bernie Bishop put on his pajamas, he squirms and claims that he can do it himself, despite having a bandaged hand. What is Nurse Lloyd's response? "What a fuss about such a little thing!" An-already ashamed Bernie gives in and lets the two nurses continue undressing him.
  • Inverted in the short film version of D.E.B.S., where the Charlie's Angels-like team thinks their colleague is being tortured, but her screams are actually the villainess giving her an orgasm.
  • The end sequence in Die Another Day of Bond and Jinx playing with diamonds is made to sound like something else from outside.
    Jinx: Wait, don't pull it out. I'm not finished with it yet.
    Bond: See? It's a perfect fit.
    Jinx: Leave it in.
    Bond: It's gotta come out sooner or later.
    Jinx: No, leave it in, please. Few more minutes?
    (Of course, we are talking about a diamond in Jinx' belly button)
  • In Disturbia there was a sequence showing how the protagonist dealt with his being stuck alone at home due to house arrest. One scene starts with the camera panning across the room. Before it reaches the protagonist, a rhythmic noise made by furniture can be heard, along with moans and grunts of pleasure from the character. As the camera focuses on him it is revealed that he was trying to scratch the itch on his leg which was covered by the GPS bracelet put on him for his arrest, when all the time the audience were led to believe he was satisfying a different kind of itch.
  • In Down with Love, Catcher (Ewan McGregor) is talking about his socks to Peter (David Hyde Pierce), and his secretary eavesdrops on the intercom mid-conversation:
    Peter: What would you say is the average length, for most men?
    Catcher: How would I know? You think I spend all my time in the locker room at the club making a comparative study?
    Peter: Let me see yours again, then. We could measure. I'll get a ruler.
    Catcher: Better make it a yardstick!
    Peter: Let's be accurate. Make sure you've got it fully extended. Have it up the whole way.
    Catcher: It stays up all the way, all day long, man! That's the miracle I was telling you about: better living through chemistry. You got... 16 inches.
    Peter: 16 inches! How long does a man's hose have to be?
    Catcher: That's 32 inches of confidence in every step. Don't forget - I've got two of 'em!
    [the secretary faints]
    • This film also pulls off some rather impressive visual innuendo during a split-screen phone call between its two lead characters.
  • Happens to Hermione in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1. Harry and Ron are inside, testing Harry's new wand; Hermione is keeping guard outside. What takes place (for context, Engorgio makes things bigger, while Reducio makes things smaller):
    Harry: [pointing at lamp] Engorgio!
    [flame becomes giant pillar]
    Harry: [frantically] REDUCIO!
    Hermione: What are you doing in there?
    Harry and Ron: NOTHING!
  • Head Over Heels (2001) where the models are hiding in a bathroom stall where they hear two guys who they think are having sex. They're really trying to unclog the toilet. It doesn't end well.
  • In Her Alibi, Phillip Blackwood is accidentally Shot in the Ass with an arrow while talking on the phone to his editor. The following scene (as Blackwood tries not to let on what's happened) gives the editor the idea that sex is occurring. While his girlfriend is trying to help him he shouts "Don't touch the shaft!"
  • A Black Comedy version in If Looks Could Kill. A beautiful female assassin is sent to kill the protagonist, but while he's run off to get condoms she accidentally drops the scorpion she was going to kill him with down her dress. Meanwhile a rival assassin peeks through the keyhole and sees her bouncing up and down on the bed trying to shake the scorpion off. Assuming she's having sex with his target, he decides to blow them both up with a rocket launcher.
  • A Deleted Scene in Iron Man 2 has Tony Stark at a party apparently suggesting to his Sexy Secretary that they do something rude then and there — it turns out she's wearing his repulsor glove and Stark wants her to fire it at an ice sculpture.
  • Kangaroo Jack: We see some guys looking at an envelope full of money in an airplane toilet, and cut to outside the toilet where we hear them saying something about scooping up brown and green stuff.
  • Look Who's Talking does this with trying to get a splinter out.
    Mollie: Ooh! I've never had one that big in me!
  • The Mask of Zorro: After their heated swordfight ends, Elena and Zorro share this exchange:
    Zorro: Do you surrender?
    Elena: Never, but I may scream.
    Zorro: I understand. Sometimes I have that effect.
  • Mickey Blue Eyes: Something involving Hugh Grant and some other guy in a dressing room.
  • Implied in Mystery Team
    Duncan: If anyone asks where Eric went, tell them that three grown-ups took him away to teach him a lesson about sticking his fingers in things.
  • The Naked Gun has the following exchange between Frank Drebin and Jane after Jane climbs a ladder while wearing a dress:
    Frank: [looking up at Jane] Nice beaver!
    Jane: Thank you, I just had it stuffed. [comes down the ladder holding a stuffed and mounted beaver.]
  • In Police Story, Jackie Chan's star witness finds out he set her up to accept his protection by staging a hit for him to save her from. She gets back at him by setting his tape player to record over their interview, then manipulating events so it'll sound like their actions (such as Jackie spilling juice on her, and her sitting on a cactus) sound like they're about to have sex. Particularly cool here is that there are two English dubs of the movie plus the directly translated DVD subtitles, giving us three different versions that all work perfectly.
  • In Pee-wee's Big Adventure, waitress Simone's jealous boyfriend Andy hears a conversation between her and PW that's not how it sounds...
  • Python: A bombastic real estate salesman takes a rich, divorced, Dumb Blonde on a tour through a pricey mansion. When the scene cuts back to them, she's commenting off-screen on how huge and impossible it'll be for her to swallow. Of course, they're talking about the property's value.
  • In Robin Hood: Men in Tights, they had Robin singing to Marian in ridiculous, overblown operatic style behind a screen, with Robin's sword angling up to look like he had an enormously erect phallus — much to the amusement of his Merry Men that were watching.
  • Sherlock Holmes (2009): Holmes blacks out after he drinks the doctored wine Irene Adler offers him. When he awakens, he finds she stripped him naked and handcuffed him to a bedpost while leaving a pillow strategically placed over his privates, but she also left the key to his cuffs bellow the pillow, leading to an awkward moment when he tries to tell that to the maid who finds him.
    Holmes: Madam, I need you to remain calm, and trust me, I am a professional. But beneath this pillow lies the key to my release. (maid screams and runs off)
  • Snakes on a Plane. A couple who were about to have sex in the bathroom are killed by snakes. The flight attendants mistake the couple's struggles for sex.
    "Oh he's good! [struggle stops] Okay, maybe not that good."
  • From Superman II — Superman and Lois Lane are alone in the Fortress of Solitude. Turns out he was trying to cook a souffle with his heat vision.
    Superman: [nervously] I've never done this before.
    Lois: [snuggling up beside him] Just relax. You'll do fine.
  • Tango & Cash. Tango walks in to find his sister Katherine is giving Cash a back massage to put one of the discs of Cash's spine back into place, but as they're out of sight on the couch the excited, pleased sounds and talking about how "I can feel it's almost in!" don't really make Tango comfortable. To Tango's credit, he doesn't immediately run in and kick Cash's ass for hitting on his sister. Unfortunately sis has no interest in explaining that it's Not What It Looks Like.
  • Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – The Cradle of Life: A bikini-clad Lara does a Sexy Surfacing Shot while climbing into her boat from the sea, after having splashed some of her men while riding a jetski.
    Lara Hello, boys. You're all wet.
  • In Undercover Brother, Sista Girl is commenting on UB's big car, big hair and big jewelry as him "overcompensating for something", to which he replies "You forgot to mention my big, black, fuzzy balls". She's shocked at this till the camera pans back to him showing her the rubber balls he has hanging from his rearview mirror.
  • The opening scene of Van Wilder shows the titular character apparently receiving a blowjob from an elderly Asian woman. Turns out she's a tailor measuring him for new trousers. (While enjoying a lollipop).
  • At one point in I Wanna Hold Your Hand, one of the main girl characters is forced to hide in a hotel room closet. Before she can leave, the room becomes occupied by a man and his hired lady escort. The girl (and the viewers) can't see anything, but can hear giggles and sighs of pleasure. The girl finally decides that she has to get out of there even though she'll be seen. She bursts out of the closet and... the couple is fully clothed, having a picnic, and the lady is rubbing mayonnaise on the guy's bald head.
  • In Wild Wild West, Jim is advising Artemus on how to improve the fake breasts in one of his outlandish disguises. He takes one and fills it with water instead of buckwheat, making it softer, and tells Artemus to compare it to the one he's holding. Coleman, the engineer on Artemus' train, overhears this suggestive conversation:
    Jim: Touch my breast.
    Artemus: Very nice.
    Jim: Now touch yourself.
    Artemus: Oh my God, I'm hard.
  • xXx: State of the Union implies that Darius Stone (Ice Cube) immediately sought out a woman after escaping from prison. But the camera reveals that all the slurping and the "Who's your daddy?" comments are just him ravaging a cheeseburger.
