Good stuff. Clip on my site.
Record number: 1614

Title: Simon Sez (1999)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Natalia Cigliuti, Emma Sj÷berg

Description: In quite possibly one of the worst movies made in the 90's, Dennis Rodman (and he's not the worst of it) plays an Interpol agent who gets involved with a "friend" who's trying to return a kidnapee.

Ms. Cigliuti is first "rescued" from the supposed kidnapper by Rodman and his irritating sidekick (said "friend"), and is shown in the back of their car unbound but gagged with a potato (baking, not Irish). The potato is held in her mouth by a black cloth. This scene comes in at around 35' in.

At approximately the 50' mark, she is grabbed and hustled into a car by the true baddies.

About 60' in she's shown gagged and restrained in a more traditional fashion -- tied to a chair and cleavegagged with an attractive yellow patterned scarf. She's next seen being rescued around the 75' mark.

Also, in the early part of the movie, Dennis Rodman, while fighting Sj÷berg's character in a restaurant, ties her up (literally wraps her up) with a white tablecloth. Her hands appear to be tied behind her back and part of the tablecloth acts as an over-the-mouth gag. There is some mmmphing.

Hard Rain
Day: Saturday March 09 2002
Time: 9PM PST
Channel: USA
Record number: 1004

Title: Hard Rain (1998)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Minnie Driver

Description: Taken captive by a crooked sheriff's deputy in a town being flooded, she's lying on her back on a stairway in her house, her hands cuffed between the top two rails of the bannister. She manages to get a knife out of her pocket and uses it to stab him in the neck when he comes on to her. As the water rises around her, she tries to pull his body toward her with her foot to get the handcuff keys; when this fails, she's forced to climb the stairs, stopping to take screws out of the top rail to get the cuffs past the supports several times as the sequence continues. Her boyfriend shows up soon after she reaches the top-and the water reaches her neck-and ultimately rescues her by shooting the handcuffs with the deputy's gun, after failing to cut through the bannister with a saw when its blade breaks. The sequence starts at about an hour and 10 minutes, and continues for most of the rest of the movie.

Title: Sabrina, The Teenage Witch (1996)

Description: Episode: "Magic Joel" (1.8)

In this episode from the first season, Sabrina agrees to help a classmate in his magic act. For the show, she is dressed in a typical magician's assistant costume. She is locked in a device that looks like a pillory only the captive is not bent over. She stands upright with her head and hands through holes in the device.

Title: Black Scorpion
Medium: TV Series
Actress: Michelle Lintel

Description: Episode: "Power Play" (1.18)

In this episode, there are two scenes for Black Scorpion (Lintel). In one, the villainess (who wears the largest, most decorated bra I've ever seen outside a Madonna video) throws Black Scorpion into a chair and uses pyschic powers to wrap coils of electrical cable around her entire torso, covering her more or less from knees to shoulders.

In a second scene, the villainess tosses Black Scorpion into an electrocution chair, makes cuffs snap shut at her wrists and ankles, makes the headband lower over her head, and tries to fry her. Doesn't work, and Black Scorpion winds up kicking her ass.

I don't know if they will be anything in this episode but it sure sounds good. "Putin (Michael Ironside) returns and kidnaps Mannion's daughter."

The Agency
Day: Saturday March 09 2002
Time: 8:00PM Central
Channel: CBS
"The Agency: The Enemy Within"

This is the one where the ambassador's daughter (cute brunette) is kidnapped and replaced with a double. If I recall correctly the first scene occurs sometime in the first half hour as the fake daughter is being rescued. She's lying on the floor with her hands tied in front (can't recall a gag).

Then in the last 5 minutes, the real daughter is discovered in the back seat of a van, again with her hands tied in front.

Live And Let Die
Day: Saturday March 09 2002
Time: 7:00PM Central
Channel: ABC
Both scenes are in the last hour. I'm certain the second scene is in the last 20 minutes. But since ABC is packing an HOUR of commercials into these Bond films, I can't narrow it down more than that.
Record number: 232

Title: Live And Let Die (1972)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Jane Seymour

Description: "Solitaire" (Seymour) is tied standing between two posts and is menaced by a witch doctor with a python. Later she's tied back to back with 007 (Roger Moore) and lowered into a shark infested pool. Her hands are tied together around Moore's waist. No gag in either scene.
