Looking for a 80s action movie
This might sound like a weird one, but it here goes. All I can remember is a fight scene on top of a skyscraper at night, one man who for some reason was completely butt naked while fighting a gang of men, I don't know why, might have been a sex scene before it and the film may have been set in LA. Hope someone can help
I did always wonder why the guy was fighting naked in the first place

Ironically, that scene is where the movie got its title.

Nope, no cheese burgers were present in the scene, all I remember is a sex scene and a mob of hit men came to try and kill the guy, he didn't get time to put anything on so that's why he ended up fighting naked anyway most of the guys had black jackets on

Re: Looking for a 80s action movie
Must be watching a different cut. There's a cut (work print, I believe) where William Wallace has a vision of the future before the end battle in 1295. In the vision, he sees himself as a businessmen in a land he does not know and a gang of angry mobsters confronts him atop the Chrysler Building (so not L.A.). Wallace is still in a kilt, though, so that's kind of naked. It's not the 80s, though, but the soundtrack playing over the fight was Rock Me Amadeus. There's also a talking snail named Nigel. You can see why they cut this scene from the final release.

NOTE: I can't recall if the wombat talks or not but I definitely remember a penis. The guy fighting...not the wombats.

Memory is hazy these days but I am getting a flashback myself to something similar I saw as a kid. Was there a wombat involved in the scene at all? Like, in a cage on the building next to a cake and possibly a 1840 bottle of Ferreira?

Hummm, I am at work at the moment but when I get home I will go through my ledgers. I keep movie log books by theme and I almost certainly have a Movies With Penises in them. If I've seen it, the movie, not the penis, it's in there!

Maybe it was a kennel on a boat or one of those big zoo ships that transport, say, lions, tigers and bears?
Those have helipads.
Also, do you remember if they guy had pubes or was he shaved? Circumscribed or not? This is pretty crucial to where I am looking in my log books.
We're getting closer here! We're going to crack this case!
