If you are talking about the bikini, then that is in the third film. Liea remains very covered up in the second film, but has a cool hairstyle in Cloud City that I have tried to copy, with varying degrees of success.

Re: Forbidden Planet New DVD Update
Yes, of course, third film, what was I thinking.
You mean cooler than that "two cheese danish glued to the head" look that used to get all the geek boys so hot, back in the day?

The danish look I can do; and have done. When the last two films were coming out, I wore my hair like that all day.

Sez you. I think sticky buns is funnier, and far more suggestive.

Re: Forbidden Planet New DVD Update
More suggestive? Yes. Funnier? No way.
While "sticky buns" does contain the "k" sound, which is usually present in funny material, the rhythm of the phrase is just "off", and rhythm is key to comedy. "Cheese danish" is just a laugh waiting to happen. And "cheese" is also an inherently funny word. (The "CH" sound is akin to "K" and serves a similar function.)
Comedy is a serious business.

Re: Forbidden Planet New DVD Update
There was one good scene that stood on its own, actually had some tension, quality acting for once, etc.... the rest of the movie's high points were all tie-ins with the original trilogy.
And people started blathering that Lucas had "redeemed" himself.
But why are we speaking of this? The prequels are dead to me, and besides, we're off-topic.
