Bunny-hopping is indeed the epitome of damsel athleticism. Besides those already mentioned, here are some of my favorites:

Title: Counterstrike Episode: "I Remember It Well" (3.01) Damsels: Sophie Michaud, Cyrielle Clair
Nikki Beaumont (Cyrielle Clair, the female team member from season 1) makes a guest appearance with Gabrielle Germont (Sophie Michaud, the female team member from seasons 2 and 3). An excellent episode, as both ladies are tied THREE separate times over the course of the episode.
The third and final time, they are tied separately with rope (ankles together, hands behind), but no gags (darn it). Both of them get to their feet and bunny-hop into position to take down the baddies.

Title: The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Episode: "The Brain-Killer Affair" (1.23) Damsel: Yvonne Craig
Cecille Bergstrom (Yvonne Craig) is captured by the baddies and bound with tape (ankles together, hands behind) and tape gagged. Napoleon Solo charges in and goes mano-a-mano with one of the villains. Cecille stands up out of her chair and bunny-hops over to the controls of the brain-killer ray and switches it on, zapping Solo’s opponent.

Title: The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show Episode: "They Went That A-Way” (1.15) Damsel: Animated (voiced by Sally Struthers)
Teenagers Pebbles, Bamm-Bamm, and their friends go to work on the cattlesaurus ranch of Pebbles’ Uncle Hatrock. At one point, Pebbles falls (literally) into the clutches of some rustlers. Coming back from the commercial, they leave her behind, bound with rope, her back to a cactus plant, and OTM gagged with a triangular white cloth. As her friends go searching for her, they see Pebbles bunny-hopping towards them, still bound and gagged to the uprooted cactus plant. Even for an animated cartoon, that requires a lot of suspension of disbelief.

Title: Schoolhouse Rock Episode: "Conjunction Junction” (2.02) Damsel: Animated (silent, no voice actress)
A railroad conductor hooks up cars labeled AND, BUT, and OR to demonstrate how conjunctions link up words, phrases, and clauses to form sentences. Since this takes place in a railroad switchyard, there is – naturally – a damsel tied to the tracks. A young woman in period dress is bound with multiple coils of rope around her torso and lower legs. The conductor orders her off of the tracks, so she stands up and bunny-hops away (why didn’t she do that sooner?).

Title: Scooby-Doo The Movie (2002) Alternate Opening
The Alternate Opening uses animated characters (as from the original series) to introduce the actors playing the Mystery Inc. gang. At about the 40 second mark, Scooby, Freddy, Velma, and Shaggy are walking through a creepy forest. Meanwhile, Daphne – who is bound in ropes (ankles together, hands behind, arms pinned by waist ropes) and overgagged with a huge blue cloth OTM - is bunny-hopping furiously to keep up with them. At one point, midhop, a pair of monster hands reaches out, grabs her, and pulls her behind a tree.

Title: Once Upon a Time (2011) Episode: "Hat Trick" (1.17) Damsel: Jennifer Morrison
Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison) is rendered unconscious by means of a cup of drugged tea. When she wakes up, she is lying on a couch, bound with tape (ankles together, hands behind) and cleave-gagged with a blue bandana. Emma smashes the discarded teacup with her feet. As she gets off of the couch, she executes a single bunny-hop to get into position to sit down on the floor and get her hands on a shard of the broken teacup to cut herself free.

Title: The Three Stooges: Horse’s Collars (1935) Damsel: Dorothy Kent
The Stooges, as private detectives, go out west to prevent Nell Higginbottom (Dorothy Kent) from being cheated out of her ranch. At the climax of the short, Nell is handgagged from behind and pulled into a back room. Shortly thereafter, our heroes clobber the bad guys. Nell, bound in ropes (arms and legs pinned to sides) and detective gagged, bunny-hops into the frame where she is untied by the Stooges and handed the document that will save her ranch.

Title: Wanted: Dead or Alive Episode: "Ransom for a Nun" (1.07) Damsel: Claire Griswald
Sister Grace (Claire Griswald) is being a nuisance, so series protagonist Josh Randall (Steve McQueen) takes her to the bell tower. He cuts off a bell rope and ties her up (ankles together, hands in front) and cleave-gags her. Later, she bunny-hops over to the one remaining bell rope and rings the bell in an effort to break up a gun fight.

Title: The Spirit (1987) TV Movie Damsel: Nana Visitor
Ellen Dolan (Nana Visitor) is captured and tied up (ankles together, hands in front) and detective gagged. She is strapped inside an iron maiden with the spiked door slowly closing. She escapes the device and bunny-hops screaming her head off into the next room, where a formal reception is in progress. That ought to make the society pages.

Title: Night Court Episode: "The Cop and the Lady" (7.3) Damsel: Markie Post
Attorney Christine Sullivan (Markie Post) and an undercover cop are taken to an isolated boiler room. Each is in a chair, tied with rope (ankles together, hands behind), but no gags. Once alone, Christine hops across the room to the door and yells for help.

Well, a search over on the DB, simply putting in *hopping* in the description line, shows a whopping 98 response answers. Pick your favorite! Be aware this comes with good and bad news...

For the bad news, most of them are either very obscure, foreign, or scenes nobody has heard of or are unlikely to find and be able to see. That is without tremendous searching and luck. I have been watching DiD scenes - on & off - since the late 1950's, and most of these I have never even heard of.

The good? I never truly realized before this, just how incredible the DB really is. Wherever entries came from, the research time spent by individual(s) is awesome... my admiration goes out to them. I hope all of us use the DB often, and come to realize what an amazing source of DiD info is found here!

Always been a fan of Cameron Diaz in Head Above Water hopping to the kitchen and searching the drawers for a knife to free herself.

noted that getting tied up together was not unusual, and the other woman said something like "It's a regular thing with you two? How do your spouses feel about that?"

Hmm, "Work spouse" has become a modern phrase.

Can daytime soaps invent the "bondage spouse" or "damsel wife"?

She gets knocked out in the trailer for the upcoming season of Riverdale, not to get your hopes up, but there's a shot there. She does also have a minor scene broken into parts at the end of last season when she is strapped to a medical gurney by the wrists and ankles.

Re: Ulee's Gold

These days we have access to DiD scenes from around the world and a lot of older scenes are available thanks to DVD releases and streaming channels. As a result we're spoilt for choice.

When Ulee's Gold came out it was quite unusual because

1) It had good shots of 3 damsels, which was unusual for a movie
2) it had wrap around tapegags and some onscreen tying both of which were unusual.

Finally, it was a serious "art" film, not the sort of movie that typically had DiD Scenes.

It works in the context of the movie. It's night, the lights in the house are off and the bad guys dont expect the Jacksons to have visitors that late. When they leave they're not expecting Jackson to do a noisy burnout or for the neighbor to be watching.

The Princess Bride
There's been some online hubbub about a studio potentially re-making The Princess Bride. The only thing that would make me want to see that is if the re-make corrected the longstanding injustice of omitting Buttercup's gag during the famous Battle of Wits scene.

The 1973 book (which the 1987 movie is based on) reads, and I quote: "Buttercup lay helpless beside the picnic, gagged and tied and blindfolded."

What's frustrating is that the gag is literally the one detail that was not translated from book to screen, as the rest of the scene plays out pretty much exactly as described in the book...which explains why Buttercup has no dialogue at all in the movie during this scene. Inconceivable!

Does anyone who are familiar with the Soko 5113 series know about this scene? The title of the episode is called Blutsbrüder

Yes, I will concede all good responses to my original points about this movie. Just that, IMO, it does not translate to really great DiD viewing - it has more of a curiosity like appeal.
