6 Movies That Sold Themselves On Butts Alone

6. Your Highness

Your Highness If ever a stoner comedy about medieval knights tried to sell itself entirely on the thin promise of Natalie Portman in a thong...Your Highness is probably that movie. Audiences were foaming at the mouth for the rare opportunity to catch a glimpse of Portman's booty in all of its majesty, as if it contained clues to the actual whereabouts of Big Foot. Up to this point, Portman wasn't exactly known for being scantily clad in her major film roles, so fans of Queen Amidala were likely convulsing when her nearly-bare derriere showed up in the trailer. Of course, there was a bit of false advertising here. As WhatCulture's T.J. Bernard previously pointed out, Portman's thong shot was nothing more than some CGI trickery, with her more tasteful bottoms digitally removed to further entice audiences. Unfortunately, it didn't quite work and Your Highness grossed less than half of its overall budget. (A budget that could have been much smaller if it wasn't for all that panty removal.)
