Armand Assante and Antonio Banderas are the royalty in question in The Mambo Kings (1992), a florid and romantic riff on Oscar Hijuelo’s prize-winning novel. Propelled by brassy Latin rhythms and sashaying dames (including naked knockouts Marushcka Detmers and Valerie McIntosh), the fast-paced film tells the story of two Cuban brothers who leave Havana’s jazz clubs for the bright lights of New York and end up working their way up from neighborhood butchers to popular entertainers. During a hymen-breaking bedroom scene with Marushcka, Banderas gives a brief view of his backside. The Latin lover is the king of the skin tease, but he will have you doing the masturbating mambo well into the morning.
