15 Most Inappropriate Comic Book Movie Storylines Of All Time

15. Sex As Job Interview In 300: Rise Of An Empire

Sex was a big part of the first 300 film and, to be fair, it was also a big part of Greek society during the era it was set (although the jab at their enemies being a bunch of boy lovers was a little ironic in the light of the real-life Spartans and their pederast proclivities). In its long-awaited prequel/sequel, sex was essentially a plot device.

One of the more inappropriate plotlines in the film – outside of all the blood, gore, and historical inaccuracies – was Eva Green's Artemisia, the Persian naval commander who mainly gets her way by having sex with everybody. Like, everybody. It gets a little weird. Especially when she uses it as a battle tactic.

A key scene in the film sees Artemisia trying to convince Sullivan Stapleton's Themistocles to be her second-in-command. By dragging him onto her ship and banging him. She basically has sex with him as a job interview, see if he's interested in the job, how adept he is etc. DO NOT TRY THIS IN A REAL LIFE JOB INTERVIEW. Unless you are Eva Green.
