The film’s sexual politics is also praised by Gibson, who adds, “All of the female characters enjoy sex, demand it and want actual pleasure, not some gross middle-aged loser pumping them from behind. The attractiveness gap is simply non-existent in Wild Things. Kevin Bacon and Matt Dillon didn’t show up to this shoot with some JV-league dad-bod situation. These guys got cut. They were probably doing push-ups in between takes. And fellas? We appreciate it.”
