8. Mackenna's Gold

Year: 1969

Nudity type: NFCF

Julie Newmar def. Camilla Sparv in an underwater catfight at a desert pond.

Newmar should have done a lot more catfight scenes in her career. She is tall, athletic and still hot in her 70s. She is best known for her role as Catwoman in the Batman TV series. She took a break from the Catwoman role (Ertha Kitt took over as the feline criminal that season) to do the epic western. In Mackenna's Gold, Newmar portrays a tough Indian in love with Gregory Peck's cowboy character. Peck, however, had taken a liking to cowgirl Sparv. Jealous, Newmar decides to do away with Sparv in an underwater fight where Newmar was naked and armed with a knife and and Sparv was fully clothed without a weapon. Newmar failed to kill Sparv but still kicked her ass. Sparv was rescued by Peck as Newmar was about to drown her. Newmar is seen exiting the pond naked. Two interesting things about the scene: 1. The pond had to be built from scratch, with water trucked in. 2. Newmar's character was supposed to be topless, but wearing a loincloth. Newmar stated in a later interview that at the last minute she decided to do the scene nude. In a CFNF fight, rarely does the NF win. But Newmar is such an impressive grappler, there is no question she could have spotted Sparv shirt, pants, underwear and boots and still would have whipped her.

Photos below include a movie poster, shots of Newmar as Catwoman, Sparv and Newmar nude in the pond. I could not find photos of the underwater fight on the net. Anybody else have those NFCF fight photos to post?
