00:00Back up. I'm coming up.
00:09Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the shirtless scenes that didn't just look great
00:15but also added a lot to the movie. At least that's what we tell ourselves.
00:18You sir. Yeah, you do the honors.
00:21Take that cash you put in that bag right there. You got an amazing story to tell your friends.
00:25If not, you got a tag on your toe. You decide.
00:27Take that.
00:29Number 10. Bathing at camp.
00:31Australia. Baz Luhrmann's polarizing epic about a cattle station in Australia during the Second World War
00:36ran a little longer than a lot of critics would have preferred.
00:39Damn, I see you're standing your way.
00:42I am, yeah.
00:43But for all its excess, there was one moment that audiences were more than glad to see in the final cut.
00:48In this erotically charged scene, Hugh Jackman plays a rancher in the Australian Outback
00:53who's camping with a repressed aristocrat played by Nicole Kidman.
00:57Mr. Grover.
01:06Well, he shows her some of the more majestic beauties of the Australian Outback.
01:10Chief among them, his rock-hard abs.
01:13It's a heavy-handed but effective way to turn up the tension between them.
01:16Mr. Grover. Yeah.
01:18There's only one tent. That's right.
01:21For the four of us.
01:22Well, you know, it gets pretty chilly here at night.
01:24We like to bunk up together, eh, muggery?
01:27Relax, huh?
01:28Number nine, Barry at the gym.
01:30I know what you did last summer.
01:36Ryan Phillippe's a jock with a bad attitude and a big secret in this late-90s slasher
01:40about a group of young people who are terrorized by a stalker.
01:43We catch up with him as he's alone and shirtless after an intense gym workout.
01:47Hello?
01:54Hello?
02:01Not only is it a welcome dose of eye candy,
02:03but it also just kind of adds to how terrifying a situation like this would be.
02:07Being undressed and vulnerable in an empty public space can be uncomfortable enough.
02:11It's also kind of the worst situation to find yourself being stalked by a killer.
02:15Hello?
02:24Hello?
02:32Number eight, The Walls of Jericho.
02:34It happened one night.
02:36I just had the unpleasant sensation of hearing you referred to as my husband.
02:41Oh, yeah. I forgot to tell you about that. I registered as Mr. and Mrs.
02:45This Oscar-winning romantic comedy broke the mold in more ways than one.
02:49In an early scene, Clark Gable's journalist erects a makeshift wall out of bedsheets
02:53to divide the motel room he's sharing with Claudette Colbert's runaway heiress.
02:57Well, this?
03:01Well, I like privacy when I retire.
03:03Yes, I'm very delicate in that respect.
03:05Prying eyes annoy me.
03:06Then he did the unthinkable.
03:09He took off his shirt, revealing only a bare chest and no undershirt.
03:13If you'll notice, the coat came first, then the tie, then the shirt.
03:17Now, according to Hoyle, after that, the pants should be next.
03:22Gable was one of the biggest stars of the classic Hollywood era,
03:25and he was certainly one of the first big stars to do this on screen.
03:28It had such an impact that there's even a myth that the scene
03:31led to a drop in the sale of men's undershirts.
03:34It's every man for himself.
03:43In this takeoff of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night,
03:45Amanda Bynes stars as soccer player Viola,
03:48who disguises herself in drag to play on the men's soccer team at a prep school.
03:58Unfortunately, this becomes really complicated
04:01when her roommate is revealed to be the swoon-worthy Duke Orsino,
04:04played by Channing Tatum.
04:14Watching Viola fumble her way through the conversation
04:16with her casually shirtless roommate while trying to pretend to be a boy
04:19and also pretend like she's not into him is comedy gold.
04:30It sets the stage for the romantic tension
04:32that's gonna make her charade even harder to maintain.
04:47Number six.
04:48Morning workout.
04:49I am legend.
04:52Being the last man in New York really requires you to stay in shape.
04:56Virologist Richard Neville and his dog Samantha
04:58both have a strict workout routine.
05:09And seeing as he's the only one around,
05:11Neville sees no reason to dress up for the occasion.
05:14Will Smith clearly bulked up to play the ripped scientist,
05:17and his taut physique is put on display in this early sequence.
05:20Yes, he looks great.
05:21It's also a testament to what the character has to do
05:23to keep sharp and keep fit in a world where everything is a threat.
05:37Number five.
05:38T'Challa versus Killmonger.
05:40Black Panther.
05:42I accept your challenge.
05:44The final showdown between the Black Panther and Erik Killmonger
05:47is more than just a vicious battle between two men.
05:50Their showdown is a collision between political and spiritual ideologies
05:53that could tear Wakanda apart.
05:55I killed just to get here.
05:59I killed in America, Afghanistan, Iraq.
06:07I took life from my own brothers and sisters right here on this continent.
06:10Facing off at the top of a waterfall,
06:12the two strip down and engage in one-on-one combat for the throne.
06:16There's no superhero tech, no campy costumes.
06:19It's just two characters battling it out without armor or protection.
06:27And it must be said,
06:29Chadwick Boseman and Michael B. Jordan are in great form.
06:41Jordan's character is outfitted with markings that make his torso all the more striking.
06:46But even without that, he is impressive to look at.
07:01Number four.
07:02Cry to me.
07:03Dirty dancing.
07:04Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze are an iconic dance pairing.
07:07Their chemistry is undeniable.
07:10I'm hungry, I'm tired.
07:18But this scene,
07:19when Baby finally tells Johnny how she feels about him
07:21and they engage in a sensual, incredibly erotic dance,
07:24is still one of the steamiest dance scenes ever captured on film.
07:29Don't you feel like crying?
07:33Don't you feel like crying?
07:37A good deal of that has to do with their chemistry.
07:39But Patrick Swayze's dancerly physique captured in warm lighting
07:43is probably responsible for most of that.
07:45The moment is already peak romance.
07:49Don't you feel like crying?
07:53Don't you feel like crying?
08:05Throwing in a shirtless Swayze was almost too much for 1987 audiences to handle.
08:10When you're falling on the floor.
08:14When you're rolling in the floor.
08:18You're rolling in the floor.
08:21You're rolling in the floor.
08:25Number three.
08:26The volleyball game.
08:27Top Gun.
08:28Let's go!
08:29Tom Cruise, Val Kilmer and their fellow military pilots
08:32take a break from their high-octane flight training to have a volleyball game.
08:35The sun shines down on them,
08:37bathing their sweaty, muscular, tanned bodies in golden hour light.
08:47There's no other way to read this
08:49than an unabashed celebration of gorgeous men's bodies.
08:55The homoerotic overtones have not been lost on viewers.
08:58The 2022 sequel, Top Gun Maverick,
09:01decided to restage a version of the scene
09:03with its new younger cast and original star Tom Cruise,
09:06who somehow looks just as good over 35 years later.
09:22Number two.
09:23This is a robbery.
09:24Thelma and Louise.
09:25Oh, you're too weak.
09:26Come on.
09:27All right, all right.
09:30Come on.
09:32Well, don't leave him.
09:33Just leave him there.
09:35This feminist buddy movie stars Susan Sarandon and Gina Davis
09:38as two friends on the run
09:39after one of them shoots a man dead in self-defense.
09:42While on the run,
09:43Davis' character Thelma meets JD,
09:45a suave and rambunctious young man
09:47who admits to being an armed robber.
09:49Are you a criminal?
09:50No.
09:51No, not no more, Thelma.
09:53Let's see.
09:55Besides busting parole,
09:56I haven't done one wrong thing.
09:58What do you do?
10:00I'm a robber.
10:02You're a bank robber?
10:03No.
10:04No.
10:05I don't rob no banks.
10:06Come on.
10:07What do you rob?
10:08Played by an early career Brad Pitt,
10:10JD gets up and demonstrates his robbery technique
10:13with a blow dryer instead of a gun.
10:15But the most memorable part about it
10:17is Pitt's iconically cut abs.
10:19Ladies, gentlemen,
10:20let's see who wins the prize for keeping their cool.
10:22Simon says,
10:23everybody down on the floor.
10:24Now, nobody loses their head,
10:26then nobody loses their head.
10:27It's the same thing that made Tyler Durden
10:29so intoxicating to watch on screen in Fight Club.
10:31He is devilishly handsome and totally dangerous.
10:34My dad never went to college,
10:36so it's real important that I go.
10:38That sounds familiar.

11:04For years,
11:05the James Bond movies
11:06were where you went
11:07to see beautiful women objectified
11:09in the most outlandish
11:10and ludicrously over-the-top ways.
11:13No.
11:14I'm the new secret weapon.
11:17And I've just been perfected.
11:19Yes, haven't you?
11:20They've kept me under wraps.
11:21Daniel Craig's version of the character
11:23flipped that script entirely.
11:25In Doctor No,
11:26the very first film,
11:27Ursula Andress rose out of the water in a bikini.
11:30In Casino Royale,
11:31it's the secret agent himself that we watch.
11:38Craig's broad frame and chiseled features
11:40drip with water as he emerges from the ocean.
11:42Not only is it a fun and modern twist
11:44on a then 40-year-old series,
11:46but it also gives us the opportunity
11:48to gaze upon the handsome and talented
11:50new James Bond.
