Pearl is called up to Vals room to service him. A man is tied up and strung upside down from an S&M chamber, he is screaming and is hit by a whip (see violence/gore) When Porter is in the room with Val and Pearl, Pearls buttocks are exposed. Although she does have on a thong and a sheer stocking over her buttocks, you can clearly see them several times in this scene, from several different camera angels. She is also wearing a dominatrix type bra. |
