Okay, went back and had another look with that in mind. Got it now, Thanx

Whilst on about Hong Kong movies,
anyone take a shot at ID'ing character Anna in the recent Interactive Murders entry? Please do.

Credits were in Chinese alphabet, and had no luck in search.
Odd?
As this character was in different scenes running all through the film.

The above are excerpts from the original entry, as I wrote it.

Per, are you SURE about this? The last half of your description sounds almost like a clone of Foreman's scene-which leads me to suspect dat ol' debbil scene creep. Granted, I grabbed my copy of this scene more than a decade ago from a broadcast-edited version of the film, but I don't think they'd have cut one such scene while leaving in another.

One possible source of confusion is that Foreman initially wears a blonde wig during her scene, which the Marquis pulls off before going to work. However, I just dusted off my old tape and looked again, and I can confirm it is indeed Foreman and not Carey.

It's been eons since I've seen the whole movie-it isn't exactly the sort of film one wants to sit through in its entirety more than once-so it's entirely possible the first part of your description is on the money, meaning Carey WAS shackled and leashed as you say at some other point in the movie and I just didn't think it was worth grabbing (I was much more like that in the old days than I am now). However, I'd stake my once-considerable reputation around here on the fact that Foreman, and ONLY Foreman, appeared shackled between two posts in a white dress.

I'm really loath to bring this up now after the entry has already been changed, but could someone with the whole flick kindly check just so all of us can be sure? A simple fast-forwarding through should suffice.

If I'm wrong, apologies in advance to Per, the editors, and everyone else. If I'm right, however, don't worry, I won't gloat. If you want to know why, just ask an oldtimer around here how we found out Mary Tyler Moore WASN'T tied up in "Thoroughly Modern Millie."

Like many of the entries I make, and corrections / additions I suggest, this one is based on Moviefan caps. If I had your email adress I could mail them to you. For now let me describe them to you.

I have 7 Moviefan caps from this film. As you propably know, each is actually a montage, consisting of 4 screen captures. So I have 28 screen caps altogether.
On eacth cap (montage) MF has written movie title and actress name.

Here goes: Cap (hereafter = montage with 4 caps) 1:

Waxwork, Deborah Foreman. She wears a long white dress and a white wig, all French Louis 14.th style. Blindfolded. Is being led near two thin pillars or poles of stone, where chains and manacles are hanging down, by some women.

Cap 2: Waxwork, Deborah Foreman. The manacles are locked on her wrists. She now stands in an upper spreadeagle. Her dress is pulled down at her back.

Cap 3: Waxwork. Deborah Foreman.,Still chained up. One pic shows she has been whipped. A nasty-looking guy gloats and fondles.

Cap 4: Waxwork. Deborah Foreman. Still chained in the upper spreadeagle, being whipped again.

Cap 5: Waxwork. Deborah Foreman. Same. Suffering facial expressions.

Cap 6: Waxwork. Deborah Foreman. A guy, presumably the hero, carrying a gun, unchains her. She sinks down on the floor, clutching his legs.

Cap 7: Waxwork. Clare Carey. She is first seen wearing different clothes, her hands chained in front, and with a rope tied around her neck as a leash. She stands before the same pillars/poles where the Foreman scene took place. Then (last 2 pics) she is dressed as Foreman was, and chained the same way too.

That's what I went by.

Re: Waxwork (Per's report)
Let me add, the blindfold and wig I mentioned was taken off from Foreman before the whipping.
Carey wore neither in the caps I have.

Also, it could be a possibility Moviefan got it confused in some way (he usually doesn't) so I carefully studied the pics with Foreman and Carey in white dresses and chained in the same way. Judging from faces and hair it IS two different women.

Re: Waxwork (Per's report)
PS

No need to apologize in any way, at least not to me, our common goal is to make the DB correct, and of course I make mistakes regularly and appreciate it when people point them out as it happened before.

In this particular case I think I (more correctly Moviefan actually) is correct.
I provided my mail adress, I could still send them for you to see for yourself if you want, just send me 2 words.

I don't understand. Why wouldn't you want Pat's info in the database?

Re: #5400 Thunderbolt
> Additional description & scene.

Ok, did this one to test out fixes. Everything seems ok.
Let me know if anything crops up.

It should be noted that while this expanded the scene
description, it still doesn't say anything about how
the subjects are tied or gagged.

Going by Biff's caps,
just edited it to hands behind and cleave-gagged.

I did a double take on this myself. Per means that if the rescue info isn't *already* in the entry, by all means it should be added.
