I didn't understand this scene. I understood that the nurse had sex with Pin while Young Leon was watching, but what did that have to do with the storyline? Was leon just imagining it? Please help. thanx.

Ha! It was the only scene I could even remember from this movie! Tho, I believe it's to help illustrate to Leon that Pin could be real.
shareThe woman who played the nurse is actually one of my teachers, I'll ask her for you if you want! No joke.

did you ever ask her about the movie?

yep me too - the only part I remembered from when it came out on TV!
share Exactly.
It sort of laid a bit of the groundwork for Leon's issues.
On top of that, it may be depicting something that actually does happen from time to time in hospitals.
Women use dildos and vibrators, which are merely plastic and rubber devices, so it's not that much of a stretch of the imagination to think women could take it one step further, and it may even be a more gratifying way to have solo sex.
I have a funny feeling this is something Stern had thought about at some point in his life, and wanted to touch on the subject a bit on film.

Please explain this scene...
Is it just some weird lady who wanted to get her rocks off for something? And the Pin doll just had like a realistic genitalia or what?
For some reason this scene creeped the *beep* out of me...

Tell me what happened. Why was she having sex with Pin? was it a hallucination or did the lady really do it for whatever reason?
shareI am 99% positive it happened and she just did it to get off.
She was lonely man. IMDB msg boards didn't exist then and she had nothing else to do.

Yea, true.
Man I gotta see this movie.
Hey we're both Charlie's.
Hahaha. You haven't seen it? Why are you asking questions about a scene you haven't seen?

"IMDB msg boards didn't exist then and she had nothing else to do."
The movie has been uploaded to YT, so you can watch it there in 7 parts I think. From what I got, in a much later scene, where the dad educates his kids about sexual anatomy using PIN to explain, he asks Leon to remove PIN's towel, which implies that PIN is anatomically correct. I think the nurse was just a pervert trying to get off because she knew that PIN was anatomically correct...And I can only guess that includes everywhere, because the movie didn't actually show anything.
shareI'm sure an educational dummy would not have a huge erect penis...it would be soft/normal. Which doesn't make sense. How can you have sex with a little shriveled penis, that isn't erect and most likely 2 inches?

It was a wooden doll.
This is actually an interesting question. I hadn't thought of that. Just got done watching it for the first time. Interesting flick.
They mostly come out at night; mostly.
the dolls eyes focus on leon during that scene as if to say " look leon this is something you'll never have you creepy loner "

Isn't it obvious? She was using Pin as a masturbatory aid. Like you probably have done with a melon or a banana skin at some point :-)
Leon of course, being a naive child, was very shocked, and it made him even more convinced Pin was real.
Furthermore, it adds a certain "red herring" to the story, as you spend quite a lot of the film wondering whether or not Leon is going suggest to Ursula that she use Pin in order to satisfy her "needs".
Okay, first off if you read the book everything makes way more sense and to be honest the screenwriters did not due the book justice. They did a fairly good job but the book is alot more chilling. Which I will admit is always the case. The nurse does in fact have sex with PIN. When Leon brings PIN home(in the book) there is a scene where Ursula does in fact have sex with PIN as well. The characters from the book are much different than in the movie. The entire story is on the same creep scale as Dead Ringers. I would suggest that you read the book then see the movie. Once you have actually gotten through the orignal story the movie will make alot more sense.
I found Jesus! He was behind the couch the whole time!
How explicit is this "sex scene"? I'm just wondering if it shows much... before i purchase this movie. I want to buy it before I've seen it because I've heard how good it is,lol. Love the 80's thrillers!
shareThere is nothing that explicit about the sex scene and it last only a couple of minutes. There is some moaning but most of the scene is watching the terror on the kids face and not what the woman is doing with Pin. So alot of use your own imagination. Compared to most 80's thrillers this is a very very tame movie.

Thank you very much for filling me in :) Greatly appreciated :)
shareNo problem. I still say read the book though it is much better ;)

EVERYONE is saying the book is so much better.. I remember reading the book.. although its been a while.. actually just went to go see if it was available digitally (its not.. at least on Kindle). But.. I always thought, or maybe it was too long ago, but I always regarded Pin as one of the much BETTER adaptations from book to screen.. guess I'll have to re read and rewatch.. but I do remember like the movie quite a bit.. although from what I remember.. they did NOT give the father quite enough time to.. really establish himself as he was in the book.. THAT I do remember.. that the father was much more important to Leon as was Pin.. which.. did get as I recall a bit of a short part of the film, although it would have been a much slower film.. so I can understand that.
A melon or banana skin as a masturbatory aid? What the *beep* are you talkin' about, man?
share[deleted]
She is suggesting that some men wrap a banana skin around their shaft and stroke it, or leave a melon out in the hot sun so it gets warm, cut a hole in it and go to town. Just sayin'!
WHO DAT!
Pin really got her off as well... He's the mack.
shareIt really happened. It traumatized leon and only disillusioned him even more. Pin got laid.
Don't hunt what you can't kill!
Doesn't this on DVD have a commentary with the director? Surely he discusses this part??
I'm going with what most people think which is the nurse was using Pin for her own sexual pleasure in some sort of way. I haven't read the book but someone mentioned that Ursula has 'sex' with Pin...??
