When an R-rated adaptation of the classic TV show Baywatch was announced, it was a pretty reasonable expectation from most audiences that the film would make the most of its adult-friendly rating by showing plenty of beautiful people not wearing many clothes, if any at all.

Baffling it was, then, that the entire movie featured no nudity whatsoever, unless you count the corpse penis, because when most people think of Baywatch, let's face it, they'll instantly think of Pamela Anderson running across a beach in slow-motion.

Without the tame restrictions the original show had when airing on network TV, the movie had free rein to fully lean into the sex appeal of these actors, but instead, it ended up using its R-rating for some naughty language and not a whole let else.

You can guarantee that if the movie had boobs, butts and dicks for all to savour, it would've been way more successful at the box office.
