The Good Shepherd, Robert De Niro's new film about the birth of the CIA, brought in $14.5 million over the New Year's weekend at the box office. Beyond the intelligence intrigue, the film also features Matt Damon in his first mud wrestling scene. More (NSFW) after the jump…

Back in November 2005, I posted about Michael Musto's mention of the scene in his Village Voice column:

“At Bronx Community College, they recently filmed a ‘Skull and Bones' fraternity initiation scene for The Good Shepherd, which is about the early (and apparently very earthy) days of the CIA. According to an extra, Matt Damon ended up in a giant pit of mud with five other actors, who dropped their flesh-colored thongs, though Matt discreetly (and probably contractually) kept his on. A high point came when Matt wrestled one of the naked men in the muck as the paid extras egged them on. When things couldn't get any more extraordinary, an assistant director yelled, ‘Cue the pee!'—no, I have no idea—which led to a yellowish flow from the rafters, complete with much behind-the-scenes fussing about the velocity and trajectory of the liquid (coming from plastic bottles, thankfully) onto the moshpit. I hear Bronx Community is now officially called Pee U.”
