7. The Idiots
While the Lars Von Trier film may be distasteful in a lot of ways including its spotty camera work and mockery of the disabled, the willingness of the actors to partake in an actual orgy is pretty impressive. With the exclusion of body-doubles or prosthetic genitalia, you know that the actors are really getting penetrated by multiple people and signed off on the idea, too. If you decide that you want to watch this Norwegian film, you may want to note that the erect male member in the shower scene is also his own. Again, this may not be the most jaw-dropping revelation, but kudos for his confidence nonetheless.
6. Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song
Sure, this film may have been released back in 1971, but this indie classic which featured no actors and an all-black cast paved the way for the future of independent films everywhere. Having made 60 times its budget in profits was shocking enough, but it also brought in the term blaxploitation, which is seemingly ambiguous but basically just revolved around the exploitation of blacks partaking in gratuitous sex and violence. However, while there may be many things to celebrate here, there is the underage sex present and the main actor even contracted a STD by partaking in the sexual acts that were present in the story! Participating in intercourse always has its risks, but it’s safe to say that he didn’t think that he would literally come off set a different man than he was when he walked on.
