Basic instinct: If you’re with the family, don’t hit pause at 27 minutes and 39 seconds

Warning: This news, which leads to a very sultry passage from “Basic Instinct”, should be reserved for the informed public.

The sultry thriller Basic Instinct, which hit theaters in 1992, features iconic scenes. But if we had to pick just one in Paul Verhoeven’s classic, it would undoubtedly be this one: the famous interrogation sequence in which novelist Catherine Trammell (Sharon Stone) is confronted by several police officers and Inspector Nick Curran (Michael Douglas).

In this intense and disturbing scene, the manipulator Catherine Trammell, suspected of murdering a rock star, plays the card of charm and provocation in front of the police, who are completely unable to identify her. The most surprising moment of this high-tension interrogation? This happens exactly 27 minutes and 39 seconds into the movie…

At this exact moment, as you know, Katherine Trammell crosses and uncrosses her legs, revealing that she is not wearing any underwear. A new provocation that leaves the audience speechless and John Corelli (Wayne Knight) in particular. For the record, this scene, an iconic moment in The Seventh Art, was censored in the United States.
