| Curse of the Jade Scorpion, The (2001) | Helen Hunt, Charlize Theron "[Theron, trailer] Two separate shots, one with a fantastic exhale, the other lying on a bed taking a huge drag." "Theron's first scene doesn't disappoint. It's worth the price of admission alone, well-filmed and extremely sensuous. She has a total of 4 scenes, but the first one stands out, one of the sexiest smoking scenes I can remember on screen." "Helen Hunt also has 4 scenes, but in the first 3 is only seen holding. Then an hour into the film, in a close-up shot, she finally takes her one and only drag, a rather deep one, too, followed by a voluminous smoky exhale while extinguishing her cigarette. Lots of background smoking by other females, but none of it memorable. Overall a letdown for me, except for Theron's first scene of course." "Woody Allen comes through again -- ever notice how many women smoke in his movies? Film is set in 1940, and Theron plays it to the hilt as the sexy-smoking vamp, complete with thick red lipstick, gloves, and unfiltered cigs. Plenty of lusty inhales and long, thick, yummy exhales. Hunt holds in several scenes but has only one drag and exhale; it's a nice one, though, with the inhale deep and the exhale right at the camera."
