Second, why was bo's hair not braided like all the other native women? They were out to make Bo part of the tribe right? One of the deleted scenes had Bo with wrists tied being led off upon arrival at the village and pleased scrutiny of the big bad Chief, and surrounded by native girls and disrobed by them for the restrained bathing while she 'futiley' protested, but nothing of her having the loincloth added. Apart from the perhaps reluctance of the filmakers for full frontal nudity and not to raise the ire of the censor board to raise the rating (I believe the Derek's wanted this to be a lesser rating than the 'R' I believe it eventually received, saying it was family oriented flick!!) So in hindsight they could have perhaps got away with it and shown even more of Bo. My first question is, why was bo put in a loincloth when the native women painted on her? Seems to me she was ment to mate with the ivory king.įrom being fortunate to have been able to see a few minutes of deleted/edited scenes years ago, I don't recall any lead in from the washing scene to the painting scene as to why this was.
