Hunting for a movie

Tildos, I have a problem.

So, my wife is a huge film buff. However, there is one movie that she had repeatedly rented from Hollywood Video sometime in the early 00's that she has been unable to recall or find, despite all advances in search engine technology.

This would be filed under the 'formative pre/early teen latchkey girl sexual awakening' moments. So she can't really remember much beyond the favorite sex scene, and even then details are scarce. Can crowdsourcing solve what 15+ years of searching has not?

Fragments discovered so far list:

  • Not pornography. Probably legitimate film, not skinemax.
  • Scifi/fantasy of some sort. Costumes described as "waterworldesq, but not waterworld."
  • Scene probably takes place in a desert
  • She is sleeping with some other dude's friend
  • Missionary. He's loud, and at one point she bites his nipple.

I know. Not much to go one, especially since almost all remembered details highly overlap with porn results.

Other films that have already been well worn by this point:

  • Tank Girl
  • Waterworld
  • The Fifth Element
  • Barbarella

    The Blood of Heroes Aka the Salute of the Jugger (1989)? I think your low-man sex scene is at 40:00

      I really hope it's this because I want to live in a world where someone can put a question like this on Tildes and get an answer from another human in ten minutes.

        haha if it is, I'll be very surprised. A few years ago I posted to /r/tipofmytongue with what was essentially 'low budget action movie where the baddies had matching tracksuits and the hero looked like Jon Arbuckle from Garfield' and this dude replied, 'Courier of Death' and that was absolutely it.

        If I can ever achieve that sort of thing... I just don't know :)

          Very interesting to see Rutger Hauer in there. According to IMDB, he had five movie credits in 1989, including this one.

      No, but additional details procured: "No it was in the daytime." White dude, long hair. He walks from his desert hut to her desert hut. And somebody dies while they're having sex, and they blame...

      Grandma rented it...so it might be sexploitation. Same general vibe as "The Vampire Journals. It's technically a movie, but nobody is watching it unless they ran out of other things to rent from Hollywood Video in 2001.

    Dune 2000 and Children of Dune had a few mild sex scenes. The blue eyes would have likely made that more memorable though.

    early 00's .. Scifi/fantasy ... probably takes place in a desert
