For my money a hands-in-front tie is fine as long as the damsel is also sporting plastic deathrap (or deathwrap). At least that way she can't remove the gaggage. I'll give it a 7.

Best "Spread-Eagle" Scenes?
Hey, I really enjoyed all the great responses to my "best chair ties" query! Thanks for all the info! I have new question for the board: What do you think are the best scenes featuring girls tied or chained in a "spread-eagle" position? I would especially appreciate info where an unconscious damsel wakes up to find herself in such a predicament! Thanks in advance for any info!

The Power (1968) - Is there really a scene?
Record number: 2216

Title: Power, The (1968)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Suzanne Pleshette

Description: In a nice scene, that usually winds up edited out when put on TV, Margery Lanzing (Pleshette) gets kidnapped by the bad guys, in ye olde "bait-for-the-good-guy" plot. She's tightly bound by the heavy (Nehemiah Persoff) and gagged over the hair with a hankerchief folded in a triangle. After the hero, George Hamilton wins the fight with the villian and forces him to untie the damsel, she remarks, "You certainly did a good job of tieing me up!"

If you care about the plot, this above-average scifi yarn involves a man who discovers he has the power to move objects and tries to learn who's trying to knock him off.

***

Before taking this to Database Corrections it made sense to double check. I own a letterboxed laserdisc of this film which as far as I know represents the theatrical release, and no such scene exists on it. On the disc Hamilton goes to Pleshettes' apartment, which is seemingly deserted until he is ambushed by Persoff. They fight until Persoff (whose mind is being controlled by an as of yet unrevealed villian) surrenders. In the next scene both men and Pleshette are in a dining area talking, which is when she says "You sure did a good job tying me up.".

Based on this I'm of the belief that this entry is just a bad case of scene creep. Does anybody actually remember seeing this in the film?

The movie that immediately comes to mind is "Quake", with Erika Anderson. It is set in San Francisco during the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake. She plays an attractive yuppie who is the object of obsession of a deranged man. In the ensuing chaos after the earthquake, he holds her prisoner in her apartment.
In the first scene in which she is bound and gagged, he is concealing her behind a door while dealing with a visitor, holding a knife to her throat to ensure her silence and docility. Her hands are tied behind her back and she is cleave-gagged with a black cloth.
The second scene is the one in which she is spread-eagled. It is a lengthy and delectable scene. The villain must leave the apartment in order to pick up some supplies, so he must incapacitate her in some way, and he muses about this out loud. In the subsequent scene, she is tied spread-eagle to a bed, her wrists bound to the bedposts, and her ankles tied together and secured to the posts at the foot of the bed. She is cleave-gagged with a black cloth, and wearing a black bra and black undershorts. She moves her head ineffectually, struggling against her bonds, as he admonishes her to stay put and not make any phone calls.
Unbeknownst to him, she has snuck a razor blade along with her, and is concealing it in a closed fist. She uses it to free herself, and is nearly free when she hears him returning. She rapidly ties her gag back in place, and ties herself back to the bedposts. She is bound and gagged when he returns to check on her, and is actually almost smiling with relief through her cleave gag.

Two suggestions:
1) If you're seeking info because you intend to rent videos/DVDs, specify that you're seeking "Movie" scenes.

That would eliminate my favorite scene, from TV's "Walker, Texas Ranger" ("Return of LaRue"); and I'm sure soap operas have generated numerous bed spreadeagles.

2) Simply go to the "Scene Database", and search on the words "Spreadeagle" and "Spread-eagle", and you can make your own judgements from there.

Well first off it's Charlene Frenetz and she's kept tied for most of the episode and gagged alot of the time as well. That scores it at least a 9 in my book. Also
her hands were tied to the head of the bed when she wakes up so it would be tough to get them behind her head to loosen the gag (assuming you look at the scene as a real situation and realize that the gag would have to be good and tight to be effective.) When she's moved to the chair tie her hands are tied to the arms of the chair with bandanas.This was one of my all time favorite scenes. If I had a clearer copy she'd be way up near the top of my blonde captives page.

From what I understand, the scene was shot & filmed but ended up on the cutting room floor like so many other nice scenes. Carl McGuire had a pic of the scene of Suzanne being OTM gagged by George but it didn't make it into the final print. :-(

No contest: the episode of the Italian TV series "Valentina" in which Our Heroine (Demetra Hampton) is lashed in full spread-eagle to a steel bedspring frame wearing naught but nylons, panties, & a tape-gag (& it's that thick wide European plaster ("flesh" colored) that stretches slightly & adheres so well.) Lengthy scene, realistic bondage (she's *really* tied up!), good struggling, *BEAUTIFUL* damsel (with those big blue eyes, perfect skin, & that bee's knees Lulu/Valentina bob), gloating (albeit comical) villains, dark but adequate lighting (good atmosphere)... it don't get no better! {Sigh} :-)

When-oh-when will the Italian TV series come out on DVD??? I'd buy it!!! Hell, I'd buy it *&* a new DVD player if it came out Region-II only!!! WHY DO THEY SIT ON MATERIAL LIKE THIS??? AAAARGH!!!

The 8x10-inch B&W publicity shot is available from Movie Star News (1997 catalog - "Grace Kelly" cover), and was reprinted in Carl McGuire's Bondage Life "Bound for Hollywood" column, so the "Scene Database" entry may be worthwhile for historical purposes.

Our Miss Brooks- Holy Grail or Never Happened?
I could use some help here. Some time ago, I read of a scene that supposedly occured in the old TV sitcom OUR MISS BROOKS.

EVE ARDEN was reportedly tied up and gagged by some of her students as part of some sort of magic show. It's been years since I read of that, yet I've never seen a picture of it, much less vid-clip.

Can anyone positively confirm or deny this scene? And, if it does exist, any more details?

I haven't seen the scene myself, but it is described in Allen Marburger's "Bondage Fantasies in Popular Entertainment" book:

"Miss Brooks (Eve Arden) agrees to help problem student Walter Denton (Richard Crenna) with his magic act at the high school talent show. Much to everyone's relief, the proceedings come off without a hitch. After school hours close, a group of her students approach her and ask if she would assist them in a new trick.

'I guess I have time,' she says, 'but what's all that rope for?" Well, after she is thoroughly tied up, her hands behind her and her ankles together, they say they won't release her until she promises not to inflict anymore sily talent days upon them. She agrees but her eyes widen with dismay when, instead of freeing her, they tell her to 'open wide' and proceed to tie a cloth tightly between her teeth. As she sits goggling everyone, bound and gagged, students pass by indifferently and, finally, after being paid five dollars, the janitor locks up and leaves her for the night. She is wearing a dress, high heels and nylons."

Static Blinkie

This does not mean a scene which lends itself to good vidcaps, but a scene that is extremely brief and involves no motion on the part of the damsel, so that it could just as easily be replaced by a vidcap in the movie itself and no one would notice.

Now, we already have a fine term for very brief scenes, "blinkies" (i.e., "blink and you've missed it" scenes)... But some blinkies and involve motion or mmphing, which would generally disqualify them as vidcap scenes, which are a subset of blinkies. All vidcap scenes are blinkies, but not all blinkies are vidcap scenes.

Any other candidates come to mind?

The two egregarious examples that come to my mind:

1) Vegas ("Lost Women") - Discussed on Brian's Page earlier this year. About a dozen Las Vegas showgirls b&g'd in pool party attire, all for a 2-3 seconds pan shot of them in the bedroom sleeping peacefully after being chloroformed. And a blinkie shot of a few them loaded into a van, still unconscious.

2) Silk Stalkings ("Good Time Charlie") - How many SS fans dreamed of seeing Mitzi Kapture's delectable Sgt Rita Lance handcuffed & gagged while wearing one of her signature Short skirts? But in four seasons, the only b&g scene we got was a 2-second shot of her snoozing in the back seat, after being chloroformed returning from the grocery store in a schleppy sweatshirt & jeans.

Water Rats- what about this scene then
Record number: 824
Title: Water Rats
Medium: TV Series
Actress: Sophie Heathcote
Description: Episode: Unknown
In this Australian series, Sophie plays a very pretty blonde police officer. In one episode, she's discovered hog-tied and cleave-gagged by her partner (she had investigated a gang's hideout on her own). He gives a quick lecture on following correct procedure, waits for her to mmmph a yes that she's understood, then unties her. Scene would have been even better if they had shown her actually being caught and tied up.
----------------------------------------------

Inspired by other posters who asks if scenes exists, I will ask too-this one has been nagging me for a while.
Actress Sophie Heathcote is a cute blonde allright, playing character "Fiona" in the series.

The series is being reaired here for the second time. There are 14 scenes in the DB- some of them blink and miss-but I saw all the other 13, most more than once.

Also, character Fiona leaves her job- and the series- in ep. 29 (2.3).
During this reairing I have been taping all the first 29 eps searching for this particular scene- without result.

I, too, am beginning to doubt if the scene ever existed. Has anyone seen it? Thanks in advance.

The way the column described it, the scene was in the
original theatrical release, then cut out for TV version
later. There's no way of telling whether this is correct
or not. However it seems as though it's likely lost now,
whatever its original status.

I will amend the database entry to reflect this.

I viewed these scenes step by step, there is not a neat passage between scenes, some steps have double exposure of the previous and the next scene. I don't know if this is possible after the final release.

Once an Italian director told:
"I direct a scene where I kiss the beautiful actress, then maybe I cut away the scene, but I DID kiss the girl".

More about DEMONLOVER (Inc. where to see pics)
This French film may be worth watching. It's about two corporations fighting over an online "interactive torture" porn site, the Hellfire Club. Per the reviews I've seen, the critical concensus is that it's visually stylish with a plot that's hard to follow. The critics are undecided on whether that last means it's a bad movie or a great one.

Check this from a positive review at http://www.salon.com:

"When Diane accesses the site herself, she's greeted by movies of models bound and gagged and shackled to electrified bed frames, or encased inside rubber catsuits and submerged in water. Accompanying the images is the invitation: "This is Zora. How would you like to torture her?" Users are invited to submit their fantasies and watch women dressed like Wonder Woman or Emma Peel (in other words, the predominant pop-culture icons of strong women) tortured to their liking. Your pleasure is only a few credit card numbers away. If you're as squeamish about torture scenes as I am, you should know that what Diane sees on Hell Fire Club is not explicit but rather rapidly edited, often in close-ups that blur the specifics of the action, and more suggested than lingered on. The scenes are not pleasant, but they're done with as much discretion as possible."

Gee, anything there to interest fans of this site?

Personally, I'm not normally into explicit scenes of torture, myself. However, I like struggling and emoting of distress, so if the torture is implied through "closeups" that show distress, these scenes might be OK, as long as they're aren't just "blinkies."

You want some interesting pics? The bad news is, you have to leave your computer and go to Borders or some magazine store that sells the mag FILM COMMENT. In the current issue is an article on DEMONLOVER, and there are two smallish (roughly two inches by two inches) stills from the movie showing:

1) A woman completely enazed in a black cat suit, with no skin visible, her head hidden by a hood. She's sitting on a mattress frame, and there is a chain hanging from the ceiling down to vicinity of her neck (collar) or her arms bound behind her back (it's hard to make out the details).

2) A woman in fetish gear, showing a bit more skin (no nudity, though) but also with her head hidden by a hood, bound to an upright wooden X-frame.

Both photos seem to be taken from the perspective of someone looking down on the catpive damsels from above.

I just may buy this DVD when it becomes available in the U.S. -- WK

Online DiD video clips from DELTA DELTA DIE!
In this B-movie about a cannibalistic sorority house, it appears most of the victims are dudes, so there are at least 2 putz scenes. However, there is also a scene featuring four bound and gagged college girls.

Excerpts can be found online in QUICKTIME format at the following locations.

Got to the "page link" in this message and see:

1) "The latest trailers ... DELTA DELTA DIE." There is a brief snip of a coed bound to a chair, gagged and struggling.

2) "ALL NEW - The Camera Eye's latest Demo Reel." There is a brief dark scene of four coeds bound to chairs, seen from the back. Also another scene of a coed bound to a chair, gagged and struggling (a different girl than the one shown in the trailer above).

In both cases, you don't see much of the actual rope, and the gag appears to be some type of thick cleave gag, but made out of twisted up silver duct tape. Nice struggling. This is currently available to rent at Blockbuster, but I haven't seen it yet.

PS: I know there was some discussion of this film before, but a search turned up nothing. Sorry if this is repeat info.

We've had this discussion before. I saw it in the original release, in a major downtown theater, and no scene. I think that was merely the columnist's assumption.

Re: Vidcap scenes
OK, Van, I'll admit it ... I don't NEED the term "vidcap scene" I just like it. While, as you point out, "static blinkie" covers the same ground, it doesn't do so as stylishly, I think. "Vidcap scene" has a certain fine edge of contempt to it that "static blinkie" which is merely descriptive, lacks. With "vidcap scene" you are saying, "you might as well have just put a vidcap there, it's not really a MOVING picture at all."

That said, my main concern about the term is that I doubt it will ever be really all that useful, as it surely applies only to a very small number of scenes. Frex, the scene in "Last Man Standing," which surely qualifies as a blinkie, doesn't qualify as a vidcap scene because the damsel makes ragged breathing noises, and the camera moves in on her although she herself does not move.

Okay, I'm old enough that I actually went to movies when they still had lobby cards. I was pretty young when the Power came out, but I distinctly remember seeing the shot of Suzanne with gag, in color as a lobby card, outside the theatre.. and I went to see it cuz of that card. No such scene was in the movie in theatrical release either. This is admittedly a 35 year old memory, but I do remember it that way. I believe the scene was never in the theatrical release either.

Pat,

Okay, I admit it, my *real* problems with the term "Vidcap scene" are two fold:

(1) It isn't "DiDcap scene." (As the inventor of the term "DiDcap," I'm *not* impartial.)

(2) "Vidcap scene" (*or* DiDcap scene) isn't... tight. "'Vidcap scene'... that must mean you can make a vidcap from it. Well DUH!" :-) The required restriction just isn't there, see?

How 'bout "One DiDcap wonder?" ...as in: "The episode's purported 'DiD scene' turned out to be a 'one DiDcap wonder.'

By the way, you (pl.) like like the term "DiDology" for what we do, that is, the observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanation of the Damsel-in-Distress? :-)

I heard that too on the IMDB message board, but the scenes in the script match up with the scenes appearing on the trailer and commercials. I've seen a blurry cap of her tied to a chair seen from behind, but I can't tell if shes gagged or not.
I guss we'll just have to wait and see to find out if the script was for real or not.
