Madonna agreed to appear nude in "hot candle wax and cold champagne" sex scene, but nude footage wasn't included in the theatrical release. It was featured in the "un-rated" version, which was eventually released on DVD.

Goofs:

Plot holes: Rebecca recognizes Dulaney's wife Sharon, despite never having met her or seen a picture of her.

Quotes:

Rebecca Carlson: All we did was make love.
Frank Dulaney: In handcuffs.
Rebecca Carlson: It was different, but it was still making love. Have you ever seen animals make love, Frank? It's intense. It's violent. But they never really hurt each other.
Frank Dulaney: We're not animals.
Rebecca Carlson: Yes, we are.

Madonna Madonna Madonna

I couldn't tell you the plot of this movie. Actually, I don't know if this movie had a plot. What I do know is that Madonna is in it and boy or boy, is she ever. Another courtroom drama without the drama, the only reason one will watch this movie is Madonna. The passion between Dafoe and Madonna is the only thing worth watching. That and the nudity and strong sexual acts, Body of Evidence is a left over movie stolen from the Basic Instinct genre. The courtroom and crime scenes is just background to what the movie is, Madonna in the bedroom.
