The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh (1979)
The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh is playing on NBA TV right now and a couple more nights in the next coming weeks for anybody interested in seeing this pretty hard-to-find movie, including one of the first DID scenes I ever saw:

Title: The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh (1979)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Stockard Channing

Description: Acting as astrologist/luck charm for fictitious Pittsburgh professional basketball team, Channing leads the team to the championship. In the last half, in order to ensure victory, the opposing team, hand gags her and pulls her into a car. Hands bound (in front) and mouth tape-gagged, Channing remains in backseat of car while thugs argue about who should change the tire. During this argument, Channing struggles, gets loose and drives away. Several close-ups. Movie released in 1979.

Most Famous DiD Scenes
Well, we all know which DiD scenes are most famous among DiD fans, being us, but I was thinking ... what do you think are the most famous DiD scenes among movie fans generally ... people who don't have that much interest in bondage imagery? I mean, most people outside this group would never have heard of "Terror Among Us" and the very few who have heard of it would probably think, "It was that movie Sarah Purcell was in before she hosted that TV show."

I have a couple of candidates that might show my thinking:

Princess Leia strangles Jabba the Hutt with the chain attached to her collar in Revenge of the Jedi. OK, the chain is not attached to anything at that time because it just got cut loose by R2D2, but I'm betting that if you were to ask what scene comes up with "DiD" in a movie, it's be Slave Leia doing the strangly thing on Jabba.

Marion Ravenwood gagged and bound in the tent in the first Indiana Jones movie. Because so many people have seen it.

Jennifer Tilly bound and gagged in "Bound." Because of the title and the movie poster and the video cover. Kinda ubiquitious.

Of course a lot of people will think of Noell Neil tied up in the old Superman TV show, but I think the show is so old many who don't have much interest in DiD imagery would think of it. And there's really no single image from that show that is THE DiD image.

Any other candidates?

Gotta go waaaaay back with Perils of Pauline and any other of the silent movies with damsel tied to railroad tracks or the log splitter at the sawmill.

Not cinema, but TV: The Avengers and The Man From U.N.C.L.E. have to be quite high up on the list. Of course, those shows' creators were well aware of the bondage fetish, and no doubt propagated it, but they managed to keep the DiD scenes just part of the story.

Wrong. It was attached. R2D2 doesn't separate the chain until Jabba is kaput.

Was that really a hugely popular mainstream movie, though? I've only ever known about it from DiD circles.

I actually saw it in the theater, and Sam's correct: Birthday Girl was not hugely popular, and it was more of an art film than something intended for the masses. It got a limited theatrical release, mostly due to the star power of Kidman (and Chaplin, who was sort of a semi-star briefly), but it came and went pretty quickly. You could stop 20 random people on the street and you'd be lucky to find one who either saw it or could even tell you who's in it. (If you ran into one of "us," of course... whole different story.)

A couple popular well known movies come to mind. Lethal Weapon 2 had the scene where lead actor Danny Glover and his wife get bound and gagged with duct tape in their bed. There's also Batman Forever that had the unforgettable DiD scene with the beautiful Dr. Chase Meridian(Nicole Kidman).

Maybe Season Hubley in "Vice Squad" - can't remember for sure if she was gagged as well as bound, but remember it as a very intense scene.

I suppose one possibility would be "Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down," mostly because the title, like "Bound," reminds people of the content. Other than that I'd have to go with the various James Bound movies, where people wondered if 007 would get there in time to rescue whoever the toothsome lady in danger happened to be. "Die, Die, My Darling" might resonate with the older crowd a little. And the "King Kong" movies have two main iconic images, one of them being Ann tied to the place of sacrifice while Kong approaches.

Again, is that a hugely popular movie that all movie fans have seen? I know Banderas has been around for ages, but even then. It's another movie I only found out about through sites like this.

I would go with Batman Forever, as already mentioned, because that IS something the movie-going masses would be very familiar with.

In terms of being a box office titan, no it isn't going to rank with any movie like "Batman Whatever." Probably not even the Adam West Batman movie. I think it is in the same "hugely popular" ballpark as "Bound," which Pat started the discussion by including. And my opinion is that the average moviegoer doesn't recall any of the Batman movie "scenes" when asked to think about bondage or damsels in distress, no matter how hot the babe was or how much the movie made. But if others think so, fine, I'm not going to faint. Okay, just my $0.02.

An iconic image to be sure, still in use today -- Taylor Swift is tied to the railroad tracks on the cover of her album "Mean." And "Perils of Pauline" is the name most would probably associate with the image, though I'm not sure she's the first.

I'd thought of the Avengers, but I wonder how many people were around to see it? I mean, they had an Avengers movie not so long ago, but it was a bondage bust, pretty much. Thing is, If you were under ten in 1970, you prolly didn't see it. It was rerun on A&E for a time, but I don't think it had high numbers. Damn fine series, I got it on DVD for Christmas one year. But I don't know that the mainstream knows enough about it.

I don't think mainstream folks associate Man from UNCLE with bondage at all, just campy spy hi-jinks.

It's a pretty good contender. I never considered it to be all that much of a bondage scene, but as I recall when the Charlie's Angels movie came out, there was a certain amount of buzz about the Angels in Chains ep, and not just from this board.

All the better then. Leia was actually chained by the collar on her neck when she used the chain to kill Jabba. Makes it even more bondage-y. And symbolic!

In which case, I might've missed the point of this topic. Are we talking about scenes which have simply been viewed by the widest audiences (i.e. Batman Forever), or whether that same audience actually REMEMBERS the scenes themselves?

I was only referring to the former.

It's a good thought, but I suspect the movie is like "Birthday Girl" more for the art house crowd in the US, especially as it is an import. Might not have all that much presence among mainstream people.

Good point, Bond films have enormous popular appeal and tend to have bondage DiD scenes ... the Russian spy strapped to the couch in "For Your Eyes Only" (IIRC) and the woman tied up in the ship in "Thunderball" and Holly Berry chained up in "GoldenEye" ... lotta good stuff there, though I don't know that any one of them is an iconic Bond DiD image.

> one of them being Ann tied to the place of sacrifice while Kong approaches.

Fay Wray and Naomi Watts both had classic damsel scenes in the Kong films, I think you might be on to something there.

Famous Scenes from a non Fan's POV
I wrote an article for the fanzine on this topic back in the day...

I argued then that if you were to ask a random stranger to name a B&G scene, they would name either Karen Allen in RotLA or Leslie Hope's scene in the climax to the vastly popular season 1 of 24.

Perhaps not in the States, but certainly in its homeland, where it has appeared three times to my knowledge on main channels, and who knows how many on satellite.

I remember my cousin, who was about 10 in the late 80s, following a re-run avidly, with my uncle explaining the fashions and references to her.

It was massively popular in Europe and the Commonwealth, and don't forget that one series of The New Avengers was made in Canada.

Actually "Mean" is a single on the album "Speak Now", the railroad images were created for the release of the single and the video. The album which sold a bijillion copies did not have the RR track artwork on it.

Jessica Alba Spy Kids 4
There is a slight possibility that Jessica may get something for the new Spy Kids flick. She's a retired spy that has to get back in the game and her step-kids have to have assistance from the original two kids from the first three movies. They might "...be the only hope for getting her out of a tight jam and foiling the Timekeeper's evil plan."

Hmmmmm. Let's hope.
