History ShirtlessScene / FIlm

* ''Film/{{Youngblood}}'' Rob Lowe walks to the locker room wearing a towel which drops to the floor and Cynthia Gibb gets an eyeful.

* Creator/YulBrynner in ''Theatre/TheKingAndI'' and ''Film/TheTenCommandments''. A shirt can never contain his awesomeness.

* In ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'', Peter has a shirtless scene when he is changing out of his costume, leading [[NotWhatItLooksLike Happy Hogan and Aunt May to think he's having sex with MJ.]]

* A nasty version in the original ''Film/DieHard'', where [=McClane=] loses his undershit [[spoiler:because he uses it to bandage his lacerated feet after running over broken glass.]]

** In ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'', Peter is shown shirtless while changing out of his costume.

** In ''Film/TheIncredibleHulk'', Bruce and Emil Blonsky both appear shirtless. The Hulk himself never wears a shirt, either.

** In ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'', Star-Lord is sanitized before entering the Kyln prison, leaving him in nothing but his undies. Drax also never wears a shirt, either.

** In ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'', both title characters each get shirtless. Bruce's (Creator/BenAfflek) scene is combined with a TrainingMontage while Clark gets two - one in a CoitusEnsues scene with Lois and another when he's lounging at home.

** In ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'', both title characters each get shirtless. Bruce's scene is combined with a TrainingMontage while Clark gets two - one in a CoitusEnsues scene with Lois and another when he's lounging at home.

** In ''Film/ShangChiAndTheLegendOfTheTenRings'', after Shang-Chi [[GotVolunteered gets volunteered]] to participate in a fighting ring, he's seen entering the ring without a shirt on. His friend, Katy, [[LampshadeHanging questions him behind the glass where his shirt even went]], and all he can give is a confused shrug.

** In ''Film/ShangChiAndTheLegendOfTheTenRings'', Shang-Chi is told to ditch the shirt before he enters the fighting ring, and he complies.

** In '''Film/ShangChiAndTheLegendOfTheTenRings'', Shang-Chi is told to ditch the shirt before he enters the fighting ring, and he complies.

** In ''Film/{{Black Panther|2018}}'', going shirtless is a standard part of ritual combat - meaning T'Challa, M'Baku and Erik / [[spoiler: N'Jadaka]] all get a turn. We specifically see Erik removing his shirt before facing T'Challa, and the sight of his pecs made one girl in the audience ''snap her retainer.''

** Cavill is given this again in ''Film/{{Justice League|2017}}'', when Superman fights the Justice League (Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Flash, and Cyborg), [[CurbStompBattle wiping the floor]] completely with them while wearing nothing but pants. Worth noting that when Superman's body is being unearthed, he is wearing his funeral suit. After he is resurrected, he sheds the suit jacket, shirt, and shoes, [[MagicPants but keeps the pants]].

** Depending on which film you watch (specifically the older black and while one(s)), half of the boys are completely naked, as they are in the book before they learn what a sunburn is firsthand.

* In ''Film/{{Superdome}}'' [=McCauley=] (Creator/TomSelleck) and his teammates are shirtless in the locker room.

* Only ''after'' Sendhil Ramamurthy had joined ''Film/ItsAWonderfulAfterlife'', Gurinder Chadha wrote a completely gratuitous shirtless scene for his character. "When I signed up for the movie, that scene was not in there. My mother was ''thrilled'': Can't you keep your clothes on in ''something''?"

* The beach-volleyball scene in ''Film/TopGun''. Bonus points as this scene was completely gratuitous.
** Or the [[HoYay locker room scenes]].

** Actually every single Bruce Lee movie has at least one of these, and we would be sorely disappointed if there wasn't.

** In fairness, doesn't like nearly every student get one earlier in the film?

* The original ''Film/{{TRON}}'' gives us Creator/JeffBridges taking his shirt off when he walks into his office with his best friend and his best friend's girlfriend (who also happens to be his ex-girlfriend). Other than "Flynn was really working up a sweat from playing video games," no explanation for shirtlessness is given.
** And given a {{Fanservice}} ShoutOut in the sequel when Alan shows up to tell Sam about the page. Of course, Sam does explain it by saying he smells "like jail." There's a second where the Armory Sirens [[GoGoEnslavement strip Sam to his shorts]] before fitting him with a gridsuit.

** Hell, in [[Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians the books]] he was ''twelve''!

* ''Brad Pitt'' removes his shirt while hopping on a roof in the ''Quentin Tarantino'' film ''Film/Once Upon a Time in Hollywood''

* Cam Gigandet in ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' and Creator/RobertPattinson in ''New Moon''.
** Also, Taylor Lautner in ''New Moon''. As [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment the Spoony One]] says in his review of the movie, its biggest draw was Native American muscle.
** [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in ''Eclipse'' when Edward and Bella meet Jacob, only to find that he had driven there shirtless, leading Edward to ask "Does that guy own a shirt?"

* Daniel Radcliffe in ''Film/HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire''. This qualifies because in the book Harry sinks until his entire body up to his neck is underwater so Myrtle can't sneak a look at him. In the film, he's not so prudish, but does make an effort to cover his more delicate regions with bubbles. CensorSteam [[JustForFun/XMeetsY meets]] HandOrObjectUnderwear! Though saying that, he doesn't seem to mind Myrtle looking at him when he's underwater with her.

* ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings''
* ''[[Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheReturnOfTheKing The Return of the King]]'' has Frodo shirtless during his capture in the Tower of Cirith Ungol in which Sam rescues him - where you can see some of the horrific injuries he's received throughout the trilogy such as the stab-wound from the Morgul blade and the very recent paralysing sting from Shelob.
*** In the book, he was ''completely naked''.

* In ''Disney/{{Mulan}}'', Shang takes his shirt off just before the TrainingMontage for apparently no reason other than {{fanservice}}. The gratuitousness of this is {{lampshaded}} by Yao: "I'll get your arrow, prettyboy. And I'll do it with my shirt ''on''."

** In ''Film/AntMan'', Scott takes off his shirt during a training montage, leaving Hope to gaze upon his body.
