History MaleGaze / LiveActionFilms

* In ''Film/SuicideSquad'' multiple scenes of Creator/MargotRobbie's ComicBook/HarleyQuinn were [[https://gfycat.com/freediligentkingsnake shot]] with this trope in mind, especially when [[https://i.gifer.com/Y68V.gif she goes window shopping]].

** Michael Bay asked some people why they watched the first ''Film/{{Transformers}}''; "[[JustHereForGodzilla For the hot chick]]." So he decided to get it out of the way before he started.

* ''Film/{{Lifeforce}}'' is nothing but this trope when the [[EvilIsSexy Space]] [[FullFrontalAssault Girl]], played by an ultra gorgeous Mathilda May [[MsFanservice who remains nude in like 90% of her screen time]], is the focus of the scene. The entire sequence when she wreaks havoc on the Space Research Facility while in the buff is one of the most memorable examples of this trope in cinema from the 80s.

* At one point in ''Film/{{Spawn|1997}}'' during the ball sequence, the camera deicides to investigate DarkChick Jessica Priest's ass for no reason, hell even her introduction had the camera zoom in on [[https://66.media.tumblr.com/390911889a965edcf037455a2cf0eaa4/tumblr_px4hb1x4Ze1tdkro1o4_400.gif her stockings and gun holster]].

* ''Film/ScoobyDoo'' quite obviously goes for the HotterAndSexier route as Daphne and Velma (played by Creator/SarahMichelleGellar and Creator/LindaCardellini spend the latter half of the film [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRB7FCPl5VN_IiCVrY1fkdoVbCXcPWC4CFexg&usqp=CAU wearing]] low-cut tops. During the FreakyFridayFlip Fred can't resist a peek down Daphne‘s top. The sequel has a sexy pan up when Velma puts on a leather SpyCatsuit.

* ''Film/TheFastAndTheFurious'' movies are frequently and shamelessly quilty of this, especially in regards to the [[https://thumbs.gfycat.com/SnoopyWelloffHellbender-size_restricted.gif scanty]] [[https://thumbs.gfycat.com/PoshQueasyAsianelephant-size_restricted.gif clad]] [[https://photos.orlandoweekly.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/5524d5354ee22.gif flag girls]] or just any [[https://thumbs.gfycat.com/SnoopyLazyBellfrog-size_restricted.gif attractive female character]]. True, there's fair amount of [[FemaleGaze gratuitous muscle beefcake shots]] particularly later movies (such as the shirtless Samoa fight in ''Film/HobbsAndShaw'') but it's disproportionatly small compared to the female fanservice.

* ''Film/CrocodileDundee'': When Sue from is bending over in her (very) string'd bath suit, Mick "Crocodile" Dundee is watching her from behind the bushes.

* In ''Film/AustinPowersInternationalManOfMystery'', we first see Vanessa Kensington via a slow pan up her entire body.

* The entrance of Vanessa Hudgens in ''[[Film/JourneyToTheCenterOfTheEarth Journey 2: The Mysterious Island]]'' is this in every sense of the term (what with it being from Josh Hutcherson's POV and all). And as for the scene where she crawls out of a tunnel that's collapsing around her... did we mention the short shorts she wears for almost the entire movie? And that it's in 3D?

* The camera in ''Film/OnceUponATimeInHollywood'' absolutely loves Sharon Tate (played by ''Creator/MargotRobbie''). Whether she is [[BareYourMidriff raising her arms dancing]], or just walking down the street in a very short mini-skirt such that [[LegFocus the bottom of the skirt is at the top of the screen]], or a long scene with the [[Creator/QuentinTarantino director's]] [[AuthorAppeal favorite]] [[FootFocus body part]] dominating the shot, the movie is a definitive study in male gaze.

* In ''Film/CabinFever'' there is a scene where [[TheChick the hot brunette]] walks across a grass field to a house. The shot builds out to a close up of her swaying butt, in jeans, and slows down to [[SloMo slow-mo]] as it does so.

* ''Film/TrueLies'' Helen (played by a young Creator/JamieLeeCurtis)'s dance in BlackBraAndPanties [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/8e/22/6f/8e226f779bb20ca53a85ddcb114a551b.gif eptoimises this trope]].

* Played with in ''Film/MadMaxFuryRoad'' as The Wives are extremely beautiful, skimpy dressed, at one point [[SexySoakedShirt hose themselves down]] and Splendid in particular gets a SexyWalk as the camera zooms in [[https://youtu.be/WH8cyihaPu8?t=94 on her curves... and her pregnant bump]]. While it's quite sensual, just thinking about it crosses over into {{Squick}} as she along with the other Wives are [[SexSlave Sex Slaves]] who have been impregnated by the BigBad Immortan Joe.

** [[http://31.media.tumblr.com/85893dbc8885d52340895d0ff7088bba/tumblr_nbnfdqwICW1tet206o1_500.gif Anck-Su-Namun]]’s [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/e5/fe/0e/e5fe0e28af90a1111260cda6f1a7de07.gif introduction]] in the [[Film/TheMummy1999 first movie]] is her doing a SexyWalk naked apart from a loincloth and mesh material over breasts covered in gold body paint. Justified given she’s the [[SexSlave concubine]] of The Pharaoh.

* ''Film/MissionImpossibleGhostProtocol'' features loads of tantalizing shots of Paula Patton and Lea Seydoux, zooming in on their sexy bodies and right down their {{Gainaxing}} cleavage during their fight scene.

* ''Film/SanAndreas'' is a movie filled with destruction porn. It also introduces Creator/AlexandraDaddario's character of Blake by having her sunbathing in a black bikini that shows a lot of her form, and spends an astonishing amount of time reminding us of her MsFanservice qualifications, with her (and her screen mum Carla Gugino) {{Gainaxing}} hither and yon throughout. [[spoiler:Even when Blake is on the verge of drowning, the makers just can't resist letting the audience look down her shirt. They just can't.]]

* The camera in ''Film/OnceUponATimeInHollywood'' absolutely loves Sharon Tate (played by ''Creator/MargotRobbie''). Whether she is [[BareYourMidriff raising her arms dancing]], or just walking down the street in a very short mini-skirt such that [[ShesGotLegs the bottom of the skirt is at the top of the screen]], or a long scene with the [[Creator/QuentinTarantino director's]] [[AuthorAppeal favorite]] [[FootFocus body part]] dominating the shot, the movie is a definitive study in male gaze.

* ''Film/AmericanHustle'' features Sydney dressed in a lot of AbsoluteCleavage outfits. Notably one shot tilts down to focus on a briefcase - but Sydney's cleavage is still framed in the background.

* ''Film/ScoobyDoo'' quite obviously goes for the HotterAndSexier route as Daphne and Velma (played by Creator/SarahMichelleGellar and Creator/LindaCardellini spend the latter half of the film [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRB7FCPl5VN_IiCVrY1fkdoVbCXcPWC4CFexg&usqp=CAU wearing]] AbsoluteCleavage tops. During the FreakyFridayFlip Fred can’t resist a peek down Daphne‘s top. The sequel has a sexy pan up when Velma puts on a leather SpyCatsuit.

* ''Film/{{WarCraft|2016}}'' has the scene in Llane's meeting room where the camera lingers for a longer moment at the AbsoluteCleavage of a High Elven noblewoman present at the meeting. For the record: there's not a single important Elf character in the entire film.

* ''Film/{{Clawed}}'': In one scene, the camera linger's on the shot of a woman's bottom as she's leaning into a tent.

* At one point in ''Film/{{Spawn|1997}}'' during the ball sequence, the camera deicides to investigate DarkChick Jessica Priest's ass for no reason, hell even her introdcuton had the camera zoom in on [[https://66.media.tumblr.com/390911889a965edcf037455a2cf0eaa4/tumblr_px4hb1x4Ze1tdkro1o4_400.gif her stockings and gun holester]].

* In ''Film/CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon'' there is a scene where the shapely Julie Adams is swimming in the eponymous lagoon. At one point she dives, causing the top of her body to submerge and the bottom to rise above the water and move right into the camera. For a brief moment almost the entire screen is filled by her buttocks.

* Played with in ''Film/MadMaxFuryRoad'' as The Wives are extremely beautiful, skimpy dressed, at one point [[SexySoakedShirt hose themselves down]] and Splendid in particular gets a SexyWalk as the camera zooms in [[https://youtu.be/Pyk-Dq688ZA?t=92 on her curves... and her pregnant bump]]. While it's quite sensual, just thinking about it crosses over into {{Squick}} as she along with the other Wives are [[SexSlave Sex Slaves]] who have been impregnated by the BigBad Immortan Joe.

* ''Film/TheSentinel'' and ''Harsh Times'' were both released around the same time, and both featured Creator/EvaLongoria, and both had a shot where the camera focuses on her butt. In both cases it was to emphasize how the men in the scene see her. In both cases the director was also a male.

* At one point in ''Film/{{Spawn}}'' during the ball sequence, the camera deicides to investigate DarkChick Jessica Priest's ass for no reason, hell even her introdcuton had the camera zoom in on [[https://66.media.tumblr.com/390911889a965edcf037455a2cf0eaa4/tumblr_px4hb1x4Ze1tdkro1o4_400.gif her stockings and gun holester]].

* Subverted/reversed in ''Film/{{Centurion}}'': when Etain fights and kills [[spoiler:Virilus]], he is shirtless and she is fully clothed. She's gorgeous and frequently dressed in furs and eyeliner, but her clothes are never that revealing or titillating.

** ''Film/BlackWidow2021:'' The film has a ''lot'' of shots of the female characters' butts (most prominently the female leads: Natasha, Yelena, and Melina), ''especially'' Creator/ScarlettJohansson as the titular character. A notable is when she's walking from short-circuited generator towards her car, and the camera seems glued her ass as it's in motion the entire time, even as she leans over to put a tool-box in the back seat. It doesn't help that they're ''always'' wearing tight clothes, whether they're form-fitting jeans that hug their curves or the standard [[SpyCatsuit spy suits]]. The director herself has [[https://www.theguardian.com/film/2021/jul/02/i-enjoy-how-sexy-she-is-as-long-as-shes-in-control-black-widows-cate-shortland-on-scarlett-johansson stated]] that this is intentional.
