The Nevadan
Day: Saturday May 30 2009
Time: 10:30 AM eastern
Channel: Turner Classic Movies (TCM)
Dorothy Malone bound.
Record number: 8350

Title: The Nevadan (1950)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Dorothy Malone

Description: Dorothy Malone has her wrists bound to her saddlehorn by one of her captors. While riding, she makes a break from him, and escapes. Shortly after she's shown being released from her bonds.

The version I've seen (on TNT) never shows her gagged, but Allen Marburger's listings mention one, with the caveat that this may be missing from "prints shown on the airwaves". I'm not certain whether the gagged imagery was cut from the sequence described above, or wholly separate from it.

My old notes have what I saw coming in around the 65' mark, but I'm unsure if that refers to a two-hour airing. In any event it's not early in the film.

Update: I saw an AMC airing today (5/16/03) that had no gagged scene as well; at least not as part of the above sequence. If the film began on time, what was shown came in around the 75' mark (without commercials - around the 57' mark).

From Marburger's description, I'd have to assume there was just the one sequence, during part of which Ms. Malone was gagged, as he describes her being bound on horseback as detailed above.

Patricia Gaul gagged (but not bound).
Record number: 11884

Title: Silverado (1985)
Medium: Movie

Description: McKendrick's henchman set a trap for Emmett (Scott Glenn) and Jake (Kevin Costner) by taking his sister and family captive, thereby luring them into a trap. Kate Hollis (Gaul) and her family are gagged but not otherwise bound, for some nonsensical reason known only to the film's director. Short scene takes place about three-quarters of the way through the film.

Time Bomb (2006)
Day: Saturday May 30 2009
Time: 1pm and 5pm est
Channel: Sleuth Channel
Sat 5/30 1:00-3:00pm 308 SLEUTH
Sat 5/30 5:00-7:00pm 308 SLEUTH
Record number: 13403

Title: Time Bomb (2006)
Medium: TV Movie
Actress: Tara Rosling

Description: Lynn Bookman (Rosling) is held hostage by baddies threatening to blow up a football stadium in return for $100 million. They hold her in order to persuade her DHS agent husband to not defuse the bomb.

We see her at various times throughout the movie in pictures on a cellphone, wearing a tape gag.

In the last 25 minutes or so, the good guys find her, bound hands behind prostrate on the floor, face-up and gagged with silver duct tape, and wearing an explosive vest.

She stays this way as the good guys try to defuse the bomb strapped to her and also fight/interrogate the villain guarding her. Good close-ups.

Guy alert - her son shares her predicament.

Species 2
Day: Saturday May 30 2009
Time: 11:20PM Central
Channel: EncoreA
Title: Species II (1998)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Natasha Henstridge

Description: About 12 minutes in, she's shown nude and strapped into a chair in a glass chamber which is then filled with gas, causing her to struggle and cry for help. After the gas clears, she's shown with blisters all over, which quickly heal themselves, her character being a cloned descendent of the one she played in the original movie.
Get Smart
Day: Saturday May 30 2009
Time: 11:00AM Central
Channel: HBO
This could have been a classic scene, it had all the
elements. The very attractive Anne Hathaway, a plot where
she is in danger and a reason for her to be barefoot
during her scene. If they would have tied her bare feet
together, it would have been a scene for the ages. They
"missed it by that much".


Title: Get Smart (2008)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Anne Hathaway

Description: A film about Maxwell Smart needed to have agent 99 in bondage.

In the climax of the film Hathaway is taken hostage and she has her wrists bound with a scarf during most of the scene, unfortunately there is a lot of movement and her bindings can't be seen clearly.


Charlie's Angels
Day: Saturday May 30 2009
Time: 2:30PM and 10:00PM Central
Channel: HBOSE
Another television show made into a movie. I'm waiting
for the theatrical version of Petticoat Junction.



Title: Charlie's Angels (2000)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu

Description: At some point after the 70' mark (I'm thinking around 74' in), Ms. Barrymore is tied to a chair. Close-up onscreen gagging with tape. The villain has drawn lips on the gag. Several close-ups of a worried Drew while the baddie calls Charlie.

Just before the tape is ripped off, Mr. Meanie kisses her sealed mouth.

During the opening titles there is a 10 second clip of all the angels doing their take of the "Angels In Chains" episode.
House Arrest
Day: Saturday May 30 2009
Time: 2:30PM Central
Channel: HBOCM
When I first saw this title, I thought it was a movie about
Michael Vick. Luckily for us, it isn't.



Title: House Arrest (1996)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Caroline Aaron, Sheila McCarthy

Description: Briefly, the storyline is about kids locking up their parents in a basement because they get divorced or behave badly in other ways. 2 parent couples are caught like this: Pretending the be in a sociology class, practicing some trust exersise, the kids persuade the parents to let them tie them up. The two mothers are tied with hands tied together in front with rope and they are cleave-gagged. They are seen in a van, a bit later still tied the same way but also trapped in a net, as they are forced down into the basement. Guy alert.


Break-in
Day: Saturday May 30 2009
Time: 3:00PM Central
Channel: LMN
Title: Break-in (2006)
Medium: TV Movie
Actress: Kelly Carlson, Unknown

Description: There is a quick handgag from Kelly's husband in the first 5 minutes. This occurs when she is in the restroom on a plane.

Sometime after the 35min mark, Kelly and a brunette gal are left tied back to back with their husbands. They are left in a pantry for a couple of minutes. Only bonds that are shown are the rope that is aroung the brunettes legs. You don't see her hands, since they are bound behind her. You never see any bonds on Kelly
Shooter
Day: Saturday May 30 2009
Time: 5:05PM Central
Channel: ShowtimeXE
Title: Shooter (2007/I)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Kate Mara

Description: 84 minutes through the movie, lovely Kate, who has been captured by the bad guys, is left alone with the sleaziest of said bad guys. She is lying on the floor, and appears to be in a closet. Her hands are tied behind her and her ankles appear tied as well. She squirms deliciously in her jeans and bra.

99 minutes in, she is shown on a cell-phone-like image, her wrists tied tightly to the arms of a chair, and her ankles tied to the legs. She is gagged tightly with a cleave gag. Unfortunately it's a blink and miss, B&W scene. Both scenes, while decently lighted, are short.
Death Wish V
Day: Saturday May 30 2009
Time: 7:15PM Central
Channel: ShowtimeXE
Title: Death Wish V: The Face of Death (1994) aka aka Death Wish 5
Medium: Movie
Actress: Lesley-Anne Down aka Lesley Ann Down

Description: Another venture into Charles Bronson mega-violence. Paul Kersey (Bronson) means to live quietly, but when the Mob disfigures his model wife (played by Lesley-Anne Down) all hell breaks loose.

Olivia (Down) is grabbed in a ladies toilet by a transvestite. She is briefly handgagged. Her hands are quickly bound behind her with the strap of a purse. Her mouth gagged with a big bandaid, and then she has her face smashed into the mirror. Things go downhill from there. Yeech.
Watching the Detectives
Day: Saturday May 30 2009
Time: 1:15PM Central
Channel: ShowtimeWE
Title: Watching the Detectives (2007)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Lucy Liu

Description: This is a forgettable romantic comedy with an unremarkable scene for Lucy Liu. Neil (Cillian Murphy) and Violet (Lucy Liu) get involved in a silly plot regarding a video. Neil comes looking for Violet to find her tied to a chair with her hands behind and several loops of rope around her waist. Her ankles seem to be tied to the chair legs but this is not seen in any detail. She is wearing a fairly loose cloth cleave gag and frantically tries to tell Neil that the bald, bad guy is in the house. Neil does not jump to release her but rather argues that all this is just “bullshit”. Violet stares at him in disbelief. There is nothing else to it. scene begins at the 1:06:00 mark
