No Filter: These Actors Were Really Getting Intimate On Film!

Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song (1971)

Decades after the film premiered, star Melvin Van Peebles confessed to actual lovemaking in the groundbreaking blaxploitation film. He also revealed that he contracted gonorrhea during filming.

Even more disturbing, the film’s opening scene depicts a 13-year-old Sweetback, played by Van Peebles’ son Mario, losing his virginity. Mario later said that he was forced to take part in the scene by his father, who simply wanted to complete his film. The film was made with borrowed money from the now equally creepy, Bill Cosby.
