A lot of us remember more of the film than that, so it's JAFFAC to use that scene alone.

Bump for votes...right now "No image" is the only thing in the green.

Maybe a caption could make it work.

With the mouse, it could say, "Presence in movie: 2 minutes 42 seconds. Presence in fan art: disturbingly frequent." (That number is just an estimate I got from looking at the You Tube video.)

Or, if you put that image of the poster first, it could say something like, "Oh, yeah. That was the one Disney movie with the stripper in it."

Raquel Welch is the best I got.

[up] Could you tell me the context of that one? I've never seen the movie. Is she a literal stripper, or is she just wearing a Fur Bikini? How long is that in the movie for?

You know, all this talk about what does and doesn't fit the trope makes me think we should resolve the TRS thread before deciding what picture fits.

[up][up] Raquel Welch appears in a fur bikini. That single still, from the site photographer (not even a paparazzo or promotional photographer) spawned a fashion sensation in both fur bikinis, and the promotion of the full-cupped, smallish bikini in the form we are now most familiar. Meanwhile, the movie is pretty much butt. It has cave men fighting allosaurs. Plus, it's a remake, which also had that. So this would be the memorable character inseration version; there is no real reason why Raquel Welch should be wearing a fur bikini in this movie, but she is.

[up] Is that true, about the fur bikini becoming a trend? That's very interesting. If we do use that as the page pic, then maybe we could explain that in the caption.

To quote [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Million_Years_B.C. Wikipedia]]:

Welch was described as "wearing mankind's first bikini" and the fur bikini was described as a "definitive look of the 1960s".[5][6]One author said, "although she had only three lines in the film, her luscious figure in a fur bikini made her a star and the dream girl of millions of young moviegoers."[7] The photo of Welch in the fur bikini was turned into a popular poster.

[up] That's an awesome backstory. I think it's the best suggestion.

BTW, Nubile Savage has that image as the page picture.

Should we add the page 1 nipplegate suggestion or the Penny Arcade pixelated Dante's Inferno strip to the crowner?

At this point, I think we should go imageless, at least until after the TRS finishes its work.

[up]I agree. But the likely result might still be "this is all some remember about the work", and so far, I don't think a single suggestion has shown that aspect.

Time to call this one. The tag will reflect the crowner decision; locking up.
