Blazing Saddles |
Day: Friday January 11 2008 |
Time: 12:30 p.m. CST |
Channel: AMC |
Record number: 1578 Title: Blazing Saddles (1974) Medium: Movie Actress: Madeline Kahn Description: A little more than midway through, her Dietrich-inspired saloon singer character is tied standing, ungagged, wearing a black lace teddy, stockings, and garters, with her arms down at her sides by a rope around her midsection to a pot-bellied stove. Although the lead baddie (Harvey Korman) pretends to slap her across the face to shut her up when she starts singing to mock him, it's obvious that he doesn't really hit her, so as not to detract from the comic nature of the scene. Short scene, little or no struggling, occurs at 1 hour 4 minutes in a 1 hour 35 minute broadcast on UK BBC with no adverts. |
The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada |
Day: Friday January 11 2008 |
Time: 7 p.m. CST |
Channel: Starz Cinema |
Wife of border patrol agent gets chair tied and tape gagged |
Record number: 11903 Title: The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (2005) Medium: Movie Actress: Vanessa Bauche, January Jones Description: Short but sweet scene for the nicely named Ms. Jones (who is no relation to star/director Tommy Lee Jones) in this modern Western. It's preceded, however, by a violent sequence about ten minutes in where a group of illegal immigrants, Bauche's character among them, has the misfortune of encountering a squad of Border Patrol agents, one of them the husband of Jones' character, as they come across. He chases down and tackles a pair of them, smashing his fist into Bauche's nose to subdue her (something that will come back to haunt him later in the film). A moment later she's shown for a few seconds holding a cloth to her bloody, broken nose, her wrists bound with a plastic tie. Then about 35 minutes later, we see Jones in a comfy chair with her hands tied in front with white rope, and brown ropes above and below her breasts binding her to the chair. She's sporting a duct tape gag. Her captor almost immediately covers her with a blanket, so the bonds are visible only briefly, but we get a few more shots of her gagged face after that. The scene lasts about a minute altogether, and is followed by another brief face shot a couple of minutes later. |
CSI: Miami |
Day: Friday January 11 2008 |
Time: 10pm est |
Channel: A&E |
repeats at 2am |
Record number: 9565 Title: CSI: Miami Medium: TV Series Actress: Erin Carufel Description: Episode: "Extreme" (2.10) As is usual for the show, they start with the victim and work their way backwards, so all you really see of the crime is flashes. Sexy, young blonde wearing miniskirt and boots is into being kidnapped for kicks. At about 20 minutes in, there is a brief flash of her bound and gagged with cloth stuffed in her mouth about to be locked into a box. At about 30 minutes, another brief shot of her trying to run away, but she is caught and hand-gagged. At about 40 minutes in, a short cut featuring a close-up of her with clear plastic over her mouth and nose as her boyfriend ramps up the game by smothering her to death. Final flash around 50 minute mark of the smothering scene again. At 11 minutes, she is captured, dragged into a van, hooded and presumably restrained. Van drives off while boyfriend looks stupid. The hooded scene is quick, about 10 frames, so it is pretty easy to miss. At about 13" you see a video of her reading a "kidnappee waiver". |

Title: Decoys (2004) Medium: Movie Actress: Stefanie von Pfetten Description: This Canadian horror flick about beautiful college sorority girls who become tentacle monsters during sex. About 85' in, there's a scene where the protagonist ties up von Pfetten, binding her to a exercise bike at wrists and waist with duct tape and threatening her with a blowtorch, for what seems to him to be very good reasons. |
