Henry Judd Baker in Cruising


A police officer goes undercover in the underground S&M gay subculture of New York City to catch a serial killer who is preying on gay men.


I first discovered the thriller Cruising about ten years ago. I was on the hunt for any nude scenes featuring actor Al Pacino for an Academy Awards themed post.  There really wasn't much to see, a brief side view of Al's ass, but I really enjoyed the film.  I'm a big fan of William Friedkin and although the 1980 thriller was certainly dated, it set an immediate tone and was an interesting watch.


Given the subject matter there were several scenes which included jockstraps.  I'm guessing the most memorable for most was integration scene.  I'm still not sure how the jockstrap wearing 'tough cop' ended up as part of the process, but it was an inventive way to gather information. 


That jockstrap wearing cop was played by actor Henry Judd Baker who looks incredible in his straps and pouch.  Baker's butt is magnificent, and we're given several great views.  I'm guessing if you were arrested, and into S & M, this cop would have you chirping like a canary.
