"Dangerous Curves" started with a good pan shot of the two cops with the feet bound (mmmppphing in the background), then up to both of them tape-gagged. They also did a pan shot at the start, with a closeup of Lise Cutter on the phone. When the camera panned out, you see Michael Michele in the background getting tape-gagged.

Feet weren't actually bound in that scene. Great pans--Yvonne Craig, Man From Uncle, Loni Anderson and Lynda Carter, Partners in Crime.

Robert Loggia does some great taunting in Wild Wild West: Night of the Sudden Death, and then tied up all three Charlie's Angels in his wine cellar in Toni's Boys. Suspect there were other scenes as well.

If we're gonna talk about "Dangerous Curves" on this front, it's got one of the best shots of all time (IMO): the episode where Lise Cutter gets knocked out & captured by the bad guys. The camera pans from right-to-left, crawling all the way up her gorgeous body to her face, which is cleave-gagged; just excellent.

FYI:

"Panning" is a horizontal side-to-side shot. "Tilting" is vertical, moving up or down.

Did you have any luck getting it?

I'd say more accurately that the shot described is a jib shot, and depending on the angle of the shot, would involved a small correction pan to keep everything in shot.

And if the girl is lying down, tracking and panning

but that's me pedantic, cause the shots are lovely, and worth doing, cause it adds mood to the drama, and for us lot, it's just downright hot
