   That line is in the movie because it is NOTORIOUS. It comes from one of Ian   
   Flemming's James Bond novels. Flemming got a lot of shit for it. Everyone   
   complained that is a disgusting way to describe a woman. Especially when   
   you're saying she's attractive.    
   Who would want to be compare to that?   
      
   Nobody knows why Flemming wrote that in his spy novel. BUT - True Lies is a   
   spy comedy. This dorky character is a dumb jerk pretending to be a spy. So I'm   
   thinking it's meant to creep us out (it worked) and illustrate that not only   
   is the guy a creep he'   
   s cribbing the WORST spy lines he's ever read to fake his way into a woman's   
   panties.
