She moans quite a bit through the gag while her captors squirt honey all over her bare arms and shoulders and show her a colony of ants they're going to let climb all over her. They release her before that, fortunately. The scene lasts for perhaps a minute, and comes in about 65' mark (without commercials) after a video conference with the President. |

In the picture's opening sequense, the Victim (Vazquez) has her wrists chained overhead to a stake. After a desperate struggle, the Victim slips out of the manacles (the bloody wounds on her wrist are frightenly realistic) and flees, but Vermithrax Pejorative (that's the dragon) tracks her down and turns her into a crispy critter (off screen). Near the end of the movie, Princess Elspeth (Salaman) volunteers to be the next dragon-victim. Her wrists are chained overhead to a stake; she passively awaits her doom. When the hero (Peter McNichol) comes to her rescue and slices her chains, she walks into the dragon's lair and is slain by baby dragons (off screen, thank goodness). |

Record number: 1863 Title: Frances (1982) Medium: Movie Actress: Jessica Lange Description: About four-fifths of the way through, Frances Farmer's mother has her committed, resulting in her being dragged by two orderlies through the halls of a mental institution in a straitjacket, screaming and struggling as she's shoved into a cell. Next she's shown lying barefoot in a rather short hospital gown on a gurney, being held down at the wrists, neck, and one thigh, but not bound, and gagged with a rolled-up white cloth as she's given an electroshock treatment. Immediately afterward there's a shot of another female patient being wheeled into Farmer's ward covered with a sheet. Two orderlies lift her onto a bed and strap her down by her wrists as the camera cuts away to show Farmer sitting on the floor by her bed. Next is a sequence where an old friend of hers slips into the asylum at night, finding her strapped to her bed by her wrists. One of the doctors gives her an injection to calm her for a hearing in the morning that will decide if she'll be released. About 15 minutes later, there's a final scene, occuring after Farmer has been committed once more, where she's wheeled into a classroom, covered with a sheet and secured to the gurney with a strap around her midsection, so a doctor can demonstrate a rather gruesome lobotomy technique on her. |

In the first hour there's a brief shot of Amanda Peet tapegagged during a home invasion. Scene lasts only a few seconds. I couldn't tell how she was tied. In the final 10mins of the movie, the real killer ( I won't give away the twist) grabs Ashley Judd, firmly clamps his hand over her mouth, drags her into the house. He then ties her arms behind her back and hogties her. The scene is dark and the cuts are quick. Ashley is wearing a bathrobe and white socks. |

| Rentadick |
| Day: Thursday April 17 2003 |
| Time: 4:05 a. m. Eastern |
| Channel: Showtime 2 |
|
Record number: 1006 Title: Rentadick (1972) Medium: Movie Actress: Five or six unknowns Description: Silly UK film in the Python style -- not too surprising, since John Cleese and Graham Chapman contributed to the screenplay. Early in the movie there is a good scene, but short. A Middle-Eastern type gentleman is greeted by a guy who says he has something for him. They pull in a covered clothes rack, much like those racks they push around New York streets. Pull off the cover and, voila! Five lovely ladies in skimpy chorus-girl type costumes, tied arms above them and each cloth-gagged. They are obviously on their way to the shiek's harem. A brief scene follows as a whip is waved around in front of them and comments are made about breast size, etc. "This one's Miss Black Pudding 1965, smile Deirdre." After this scene, we never see the bevy of beautites again, unfortunately. Later on, a female harem girl is seen [briefly] bound and gagged to a post. |

The two chief females are Nicollette Sheridan (Agent 3.14) and Stephanie Romanov (Barbara Dahl) who get themselves variously tied and fettered in the cause of a good story. The evil General Rancor (played by Andy Griffith, with detachable arms) has Barbara fettered, first to a rocket, then to a dungeon-like wall (in five scenes spread throughout the film), later again to the rocket, and Agent WD40 (Neilsen) has but 36 hours to release the captive before she is blasted into space. Along the way Agent 3.14 gets herself captured and strapped down to a gurney. In the end the General is blasted off himself thanks to our intrepid hero. No gags. |

Sean (defensively): "I have to breathe" Daisy (through clenched teeth): "That's not what you breathe through!" |

| Instinct to Kill |
| Day: Thursday April 17 2003 |
| Time: 10:30 pm Pacific |
| Channel: The Movie Channel |
| The main scenes of interest in this decent, tho very violent movie, really deserve a look. First, the "very pretty" actress mentioned in the DB entry is truly a Four Star Knockout!! Her scenes occur about 55 minutes in [no ads]. Unfortunately, I missed the credits, so I can't supply her name. Second, the climactic scene with Missy Crider is brief but exceptionally good. Tho I guess you could just call me a sucker for cute, skinny blondes with big bazookas. |
|
Record number: 8187 Title: Instinct To Kill (2001) aka Perfect Husband, The Medium: Movie Actress: Missy Crider, 3 unknowns Description: Very violent action movie starring Mark Dacascos. There's the inevitable serial killer who loves to choke his victims to death by putting a transparent plastic sack over their head. Since I've only seen the second half of the movie I can only describe the last four scenes, though maybe there's more. First of all there's a very pretty girl who's tied naked to a chair (cover only with a sheet and a lot of tape)and killed. Then it's the turn of the wife of a policeman (played by Kadeem Hardison) who's tied to a tree, hands in front, rope around neck, tape gagged and with the usual plastic sack over head. Her husband manage to take off the sack, but they are both killed. A few moments later it's time for the female leading actress Missy Crider, who plays the carachter of Tess. She's handgagged, then tied lying on the floor hands behind and gagged with tape. Unfortunately the killer take off the gag before putting the usual sack over her head. I missed the scene where she's freed (or she frees herself?). Near the end the same actress has a flashback in which she is in front of the killer who keep a woman bound hands behind and gagged as a hostage. Tess fires, but she kills the woman, instead of the killer. |
