Title: Murder In My Mind (1997)
Medium: TV Movie
Actress: Nicolette Sheridan aka Nicollette Sheridan

Description: Nicolette plays an FBI agent who gets brain cells from a murder victim transplanted into her. In one scene around the 78' mark (with commercials), she has a vision of being in the back of a van with the murder. While she's lying on her back struggling, the villain covers her mouth with duct-tape which she peels off almost immediately. Since it's a psychic vision, the scene is out-of-focus and jumpy.

Incubus
Day: Tuesday May 27 2008
Time: 4:55 p.m. CST
Channel: Showtime Next
Full treatment at the midway point
Record number: 12623

Title: Incubus (2005)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Alice O'Connell

Description: An hour into this horror flick, three trapped college students decide that the best way out of their predicament is to tie one of them up and let him or her fall asleep, which they theorize will draw the evil demon into the new body and out of the body of the crazy guy blocking their escape. They choose Holly (O'Connell) since she's "the smallest and the weakest." They proceed to tie her hands behind her back and her ankles together with computer cables, then cleave-gag her with a strip of plastic wrap.

Clever, and yet not. Holly is possessed by the demon as planned. She pretends to be choking, and when "Bug" removes her gag, she goes after him with her teeth. Then she gets her hands free, leaving Bug with no choice but to suffocate her with a plastic bag in order to save his and the Tara Reid character's hides.

Scene runs for about three minutes, not including the setup in the dialog.

Murder, She Wrote
Day: Tuesday May 27 2008
Time: 11pm est
Channel: Hallmark
.
Record number: 3262

Title: Murder, She Wrote
Medium: TV Series
Actress: Perrey Reeves

Description: Episode: "Murder Channel" (11.6)

Ms. Reeves is shown bound wrists in front and overgagged with thickly folded white cloth, lying on her back in a van.

The sequence began around the 40' mark on the A&E channel in the States, with numerous closeups over the next ten minutes or so, until she's released.

In a UK BBC broadcast, with no adverts, there were three short glimpses of her gagged shot from the shoulders up, and a slightly longer scene where her hands are seen tied in front just before she is cut free. They came at 28, 29, 32 and 34' in a 43' episode (in a 45' time slot with trailers for other programs). Recording from 25' in to 50' past the hour should catch 'em all.

Striking Distance (1993)
Day: Tuesday May 27 2008
Time: 6:00 PM EST
Channel: AMC
Title: Striking Distance (1993)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Sarah Jessica Parker, Sigrid Adrienne, Unknown

Description: Right at the beginning, an unknown actress is lying on the floor. She's tightly cleave-gagged, her feet tied and wrists tied behind her back. It's a short scene, but there's at least some struggling and moaning.

At about the 35 - 40 minute mark we see the feet, ankles and calves of Sigrid with the ankles tied separately to the front legs of a chair. Then we see Bruce Willis reacting to what he hears over the phone: gagged wimpering, a gunshot, followed by silence.

Later in the movie, Sarah Jessica Parker is seated in a chair with her wrists cuffed behind her back.
The Pacifier (2005)
Day: Tuesday May 27 2008
Time: 9:00 PM EST
Channel: USA Network
Title: The Pacifier (2005)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Faith Ford, Brittany Snow, Morgan York

Description: Julie Plummer(Faith Ford) has her hands tied behind her back with black rope. She is taken from the room where her kids are to an underground vault. She isn't gaggged and her legs aren't tied but there are a few decent midrange shots of her bound hands. She wears a tailored jacket with slacks.

Zoe (Brittany Snow) and Lulu (Morgan York) are bound back to back and over the mouth gagged with black cloths. Their hands are tied behind them and their ankles are tied with black rope. Guy alert.

Zoe wears a miniskirt and flat pumps. It’s a fairly quick scene but there are a few really good shots of her emoting with her gagged face and her tied ankles are seen a few times. There is one close up of her tied hands as she frees them.

The scenes occur from approximately 1:15 to 1:22.

The tone is lighthearted but thrilling. A++ IMHO
