Banderas and Jolie get it on

This is an enlarged still of one of the best frames from their sex scene in Original Sin (2001), an over-the-top remake of a fairly entertaining, but confusingly plotted original (Truffaut’s Mississippi Mermaid, 1969).

The original film was OK (82% on Rotten Tomatoes), but had one massive and obvious logic error, so you’d think the remake would have corrected that. Oddly enough it did not, although it changed many other plot points, especially in the final act. The remake was kind of crazy and melodramatic, which made it kind of over-the-top fun, but it was mediocre at best (12% on Rotten Tomatoes). On the other hand, the sex scene between these two was arguably the hottest sex scene ever filmed between A-list actors, which they were at the time.
