| Multiple full treatment scenes for Naomi Watts in this shot for shot remake of the original |
|
Record number: 13307 Title: Funny Games (2008) Medium: Movie Actress: Naomi Watts Description: This shot-for-shot remake of a dark German movie (and since it is a shot-for-shot remake, shouldn't the database entry be (almost) word-for-word?) begins as a quaint family trip to the country. Once settled in, however, that knock at the cottage door turns out to be much more than it initially seemed. The home is soon taken over by two sadistic 'punks', and Naomi Watts' first scene begins with her being led into the livingroom, wrists bound behind her with brown cellophane packing tape. Psycho #1 then forces her onto the sofa, and tapes up her ankles as well (she is not, at this point, gagged). In an escape attempt a few minutes later, we see her rise from the sofa and vigorously hop across the room to her injured husband (who is not bound). He unsuccessfully attempts to rip the tape from her wrists with his fingers, and then resorts to gnawing at the tape with his teeth. To no avail, however, as Psycho #2 inconveniently comes back into the room. Later, the bad-guys having said their 'adieus' and left, there are a few other momentary scenes of Watts hopping around until she finally frees herself. At 1:30, and in the first of two great scenes in the movie: having had no phone at the vacation cottage we see her attempting to flag down a car for help on a country road, while her injured husband stays back at the cottage, waiting for her to return with the police. Seems it must've been JUST the wrong car to try to attract attention from, because we then cut to Watts being led back into the cottage by the bad guys, to her husband's shock, bound with rope and THOROUGHLY gagged. In stringent and ingenious bondage, seldom seem in mainstream movies or tv, her wrists are bound with rope in front of her, and held tightly to her crotch. We are then treated to over a full minute of close-up of Watts' incredible gag, as she sits almost motionless on the sofa trying to deal with cloth-packing of immense proportions, distending her cheeks/mouth to the point of being almost a caricature (the single piece of rope 'holding' the cloth in her mouth seems superfluous). There is then some wonderful 'acting' (?) by Watts as the camera stays on her while alternately choking/gagging and attempting to breathe through the monstrous gag (a teardrop even forming at the corner of her eye). We get to see exactly whats inside her mouth when the bad-guys decide that she would be much more fun to play with if she werent indeed gagged: one of them pulls her forward on the sofa (the expression on her face from the tightening noose around her neck when he does this seems almost real), and then cuts the rope running up her back, connecting her wrists to the noose. Wrists still bound, she hurriedly reaches up and pulls the single piece of rope from around her mouth, then makes quite a production out of pulling the HUGE piece of cloth from her own mouth, allowing her to again breathe freely. The other great scene is when we see a long-shot of the bad-guys leading our heroine down to a boat dock. She is attired in a yellow rain-slicker as they lead her onto a sailboat, and we see then that she is again incredibly well-gagged. This time with the aforementioned brown cellophane packing tape wrapped completely around her head, multiple times, completely covering her lower face and chin. No real indication of what might be inside her mouth, but we do plainly see that her cheeks are bulging above the tape. We then also become aware that she is bound in much the same manner as she was before, wrists with rope in front, crotchrope underneath and up to her neck (although the noose is not nearly as tight this time). Psycho #2 unties the noose arrangement so that he can then sit her on the floor of the boat. He binds her ankles, and then then wrists-to-ankles in front. It seems the inference is that Watts is gagged almost to the point of choking again, as there is no sound coming from her, and she is seen sitting on the floor of the boat and blinking her eyes at times quite rapidly, as if trying to keep from choking. Several more excellent close-ups of Watts' gagged face, and there is one more attempt at escape as the bad-guys take her out for a jaunt on the lake *** Spoiler/Warning: Be advised, there are several disturbing scenes in this flick, none of the family meets a good end, including a somewhat grisly ending for Watts herself *** I think this one is a little better lit than the original, and Watts is much better looking hopping around in her underwear. |

| Promo shows a gag around the neck of female lead Deanna Russo. Possibly a OTM gag scene in the opening minutes of a bank heist. Tune in early since it looks like any action will be early in the episode. |

| Sasha Alexander bound and gagged. |

Record number: 10169 Title: Navy NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service aka NCIS Medium: TV Series Actress: Sasha Alexander Description: Episode: "UnSEALed" (1.18) About 12' in, Caitlin Todd, while guarding a child at his home, is tricked by his father and relieved of her sidearm. After the ad break, she's shown being bound to a chair while he explains that he's not there to take his son, but to say goodbye. He then gags her with what appears to be two white napkins tied together, with one of the knots in her mouth. She's bound hands behind, her legs tied separately to the chair legs. There's a goodly bit of struggling to free herself before her partner outside, unable to raise her on the comm, enters the house and finds and unbinds her. She's wearing a striped blouse, black pinstriped suit pants and low-heeled boots. The sequence ends around the 21' mark. |
