10 Actors Who Really Did It In Movies

5. The Cast Of The Raspberry Reich

A biting satire of what he calls ‘terrorist chic’, cult queer filmmaker Bruce LaBruce’s The Raspberry Reich follows an all-male band of lefty radicals modelled on the Baader-Meinhof Gang and led by a charismatic female leader who commands them to kidnap the son of a wealthy industrialist and join what she terms ‘The Homosexual Intifada’.

Which basically means encouraging her male comrades to have sex with each through rousing diatribes against heterosexual societal norms littered with slogans like "Are you revolutionary enough to give up your girlfriends?" and "Heterosexuality is the opiate of the masses".

In 2005, a Paris court judged that The Raspberry Reich could no longer be shown funnily enough not for breaching any obscenity laws but because of its unauthorised use of late photographer Alberto Korda’s iconic image of Che Guevara which appeared on a wall in a scene in which a dude fellates a handgun.
