The 2009 drama Powder Blue was notable for two main reasons: Jessica Biel went topless and writhed on a strip-club stage and Patrick Swayze made his final appearance on celluloid before his death in September.
Biel's boobs propelled her to second place in Zap2It's Top 10 Celebrity Nude Scenes of 2009, where she was beaten only by Eva Amurri's raunchy role in Californication.
For those of who you missed all the fuss and the flashes of flesh, or want to see it again, the film is released on DVD in the UK tomorrow (Monday, January 25).
Powder Blue follows four people as they embark on different journeys that lead them all to the same place.
Swayze plays Velvet Larry, the sleazy owner of a strip joint where Rose Johnny (Biel) works as a dancer whose son is in a coma.
The ensemble cast also includes Ray Liotta (Goodfellas, Smokin' Aces), Forest Whitaker (Last King of Scotland,...
