I think TOMMY (Ken Russell) has a brief sequence of women in bras,
panties, and gas masks running past burning buildings.

(The best part was Keith Moon as Uncle Ernie)

Now here's a really odd question. I'd like to know about
as many movies as possible that depict WOMEN wearing gas masks.
So far I can only think of "Beverly Hills Cop 2" (scene at the
end of the movie) and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind"
(a real short scene near the end). The scenes don't have to be
long, but they must be of women. I could really use as much
help as possible with this one.

Please don't reply by email, but rather post a followup article.

Thanks

Sandra

OK. I can't stand it. WHY do you want these titles? I find the
desire to know about these movies far more interesting than knowing the
movies themselves.

_Hope and Glory_ had little kids of both sexes in gas masks in the
bomb shelter. There must have been a teacher in there somewhere.

WHAT'S UP TIGER LILY has a pretty long sequence with some Asian babes in
gas masks. What the heck is this for anyway?

Also, you might want to check out the movie "Real Genius" with Val
Kilmer and some other unknown actors...there is one scene where a group of kids
(including a girl) pump nitrus oxide into a dorm room...they are all wearing
gas masks...it even has a nice close up of the girl smiling through the
faceplate

How about "Silkwood"? I actually don't remember this happening
but it seems logical.

You might check out _The Battle of Britain_. I don't know if any of
the women ever put their gas masks *on*, but they carry them around a
lot (regulations), and our heroine gets chewed out by her C.O. because
her troops are carrying other things in their gas mask cases besides
their gas masks.

Lipsticks, lunch, things like that (what did you think I meant?).

If you want the ultimate women in gas masks then watch "Tommy". There
is a scene where England is being bombed, buildings are burning - and
out of nowhere runs a group of scantily-clad women wearing gas masks.

I don't know how this got started, or why anyone would care, but THEM,
the original radioactive giant bug movie has a woman wearing a gas mask
when she goes down with two men into one of the nests to see if all the
giant ants are dead from a cyanide gas attack. Actually, I would
recommend this film to anyone; it's one of the best of the 1950's
sf B-movies and quite entertaining (not to mention spooky for what
it says about America in the 1950s) despite being totally implausible.

A British film called Wish You Were Here, starring Emily Lloyd, has the main
character as a young girl wearing a gas mask in a short scene.

I couldn't return this letter to the person who wrote to me

Good question. The reason is that I don't have my own computer account
so I wrote the message in someone else's account. Her name was Pam.
I'm not a computer person so I don't have my own account and I hate
this text editor.

Let me ask you this. What did you all *think* I wanted this information
for. This would be really interesting.

Dont forget whatshername in CHINA SYNDROME.

At least I think she was wearing one, even though it had a see-through
face-plate.

Gee, Sandra I didn't have a clue (and still don't have much of one)
but found all the responses entertaining none-the-less. So it was a
trick, eh? So tell us what it was and how it went, OK?

My immediate guess was some specialized erotic fascination (the nanny
wore one????) ;-)

I don't know. I don't think I \want/ to know. I've been working very
hard at not even speculating...

It also has Leonard Nimoy, sans ears, in it. I believe he has only one
line, or maybe just a walk on. Any body besides me remember where?
I agree, it is very good. I remember watching it on the local UHF station
over and over again growing up. Ah, the good old days when they would actually
show old movies at night instead of 30 minute commercials for cellulite
removers with Erin Grey and haire replacement techniques with Robert Vaughn.
Sigh.

Why did she want this information? Hey, I'm game. Tell me. It can't be
as sick as some of the things I've read on other newsgroups. (And it is
probably not sick at all, all you filthy-minded posters you.) Lay on,
m'lady, why are you interested in this topic?

I seldom use my real name on the net because it is very common and
the last time I did it, slews of people thought I was someone else!
Much to my suprize and confusion.

If you're still after gas mask sequences - `The Man From Auntie' on
BBC1 in the UK has Ben Elton (the author of the `Blackadder' series)
taking off a gas mask several times in the closing credits.

Thursdays 21:30 to 22:00 - it's fairly funny, if you like knob gags.

Anyway - what's so weird about wanting to see women in only a sexy little
gas mask?
