“I played Arnie, one of the five rapists of the female lead played by Deborah Tranelli. Naked Vengeance was one of the early u0026quot;Chick Vengeanceu0026quot; genre films.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDoing a rape scene was very difficult as the mood on the set is very tense, especially from the women on set. Anyone familiar with film production knows that it is a surreal atmosphere but standing around with nothing on but a jockstrap became almost natural by the end of the long night. Deborah was a real professional, detaching herself from direct contact friendly conversation. Before and after the u0026quot;rape sceneu0026quot; she was friendly but she got u0026quot;into characteru0026quot; during the very intense, violent, demeaning, dehumanizing sequence.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI think any woman seeing this movie would be deeply moved, emotionally and stunned by the brutality of the sequence. The entire production crew did a great professional job, though it was a long time before some of the female staff would even talk to me. It was that realistic and graphic. I never understood the horror of rape until I u0026quot;took partu0026quot; in trying to reproduce the crime in u0026quot;ReeL lifeu0026quot;.”
