'Soft-core Porn' & More! Kevin's Raunchiest Films EXPOSED

Added another, "Every female cast member disrobes and nearly all do full frontal."

Next came "Shadows Run Black" and later "Stacy's Knights" — more sexploitation sagas.

Kevin wasn't even paid for the first — filmed in 1974 and originally called "Malibu Hot Summer" — and just $500 for each of the other two.

"I came to Los Angeles and started to act in some little workshops," he says. "They were casting exploitation movies and my acting teacher asked if I wanted a role. I said, 'Yeah. I want to get some experience.' "

But Kevin, now 61, became so ashamed of the flicks he tried to buy the rights to keep them from being sold to video, says Eric Louzil, who produced the first two.

He was too late. Louzil had sold the pics to a distribution company.

Kevin insists the sex was beside the point — he did the films strictly for the exposure, so to speak.

"It was a classic case of somebody having no experience, being in a movie no matter what it was," he says.

The twice-married father of seven went on to make sizzling love to Susan Sarandon in a hot tub in "Bull Durham" and to steam up the windows of the back seat of a limo with Sean Young in "No Way Out."

His blockbuster hits include 1989's Field of Dreams, Dances with Wolves (1990), Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991) and The Bodyguard in 1992.

But the skin flicks helped his career.

"I felt I could become something but these movies were not the way," he says.

"From that point on, I resolved to hold out for only the best."

Hollywood hunk Kevin Costner is a huge star — but he got his break in skin flicks he's tried to hide!

In his first low-budget film, Sizzle Beach, U.S.A., he played a well-to-do stud who makes love to a topless blonde. The Washington Post branded it "a porno flick", and viewers called it "soft-core porn!"

"It goes from one nude scene to the next," said one. "More money went into breast implants than production costs." Added another, "Every female cast member disrobes and nearly all do full frontal."

Next came Shadows Run Black and later Stacy's Knights — more sexploitation sagas. Kevin wasn't even paid for the first — filmed in 1974 and originally called Malibu Hot Summer — and just $500 for each of the other two.
