Record number: 3407 Title: Xena: Warrior Princess Medium: TV Series Actress: Renee O'Connor, Hudson Leick, Lucy Lawless Description: Episode: "The Return of Callisto" (2.05) About a minute in, you see prison guards feeding Callisto (Hudson Leick). How this is actually achieved is somewhat of a mystery, because Callisto is seated in a heavy chair, arms strapped to the armrests, and with pretty wide leather straps across her forehead, neck and ankles. Skimpy leather outfit, bare feet. Anyways, a bowl attached to a 8' pole is shoved into the window of the cell and the bowl is kind of floating in front of her. Since her head and neck is tightly restrained, it isn't very useful for her. She cusses the guards out and one of the guards goes into the cage and starts beating her with a stick. She grabs a knife during this, and escapes shortly thereafter. About a minute of on-screen time. As an interesting side note, Callisto uses the chair (with restraints still hanging off the side) later in the episode as a throne. At 31 minutes Gabrielle has her wrists bound over her head in preparation for being burned at the stake and Xena gets to try the chair with restraints. This scene is about 2 and a half minutes long. In the 2nd scene where Xena is in the chair and Gabrielle is tied to the stake, Lucy Lawless actually breaks the restraint on the left arm of the chair while she is struggling and quickly moves her arm back in place so it looks like she's still restrained (occurs just after the stake is lit and before Callisto turns around and says "don't bother struggling"). This was clearly not intentional, as later in the scene she uses the chakram to cut her left wrist free. Either they left it in because the editor didn't spot it, she actually broke the chair and they didn't have a replacement, or they didn't have time for another take. Kind of dark in both scenes, but there is still a lot of detail visible in the DVD versions. All times without commercials. |
