Record number: 978 Title: The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1939) Medium: Movie Actress: Maureen O'Hara Description: This is probably the version of the story in which Esmeralda spends the most time in bondage. O'Hara portrays her sitting with her hands tied behind her back throughout the trial, both before and after the torture scene, which is depicted in a wide shot from above in a rather non-explicit manner. At the end of the trial, the king visits the courtroom, and orders her untied so he can perform a trial by ordeal on her. He blindfolds her and asks her to choose between her alleged murder weapon and his dagger on a table before her. She touches her own knife, failing the test, and later is carted to the scaffold and mounts it with her hands tied behind her back, but they are untied when Quasimodo (Charles Laughton) swings down from above in the famous rescue scene. |

Record number: 14077 Title: Boogeyman 2 (2007) Medium: Movie Actress: Mae Whitman aka Mae Margaret Whitman, Chrissy Griffith, Renée O'Connor aka Renee O'Connor aka Reneé O'Connor Description: At 48’ mark, Alison (Whitman) wakes up to find herself gagged and has been duct taped around her upper chest to a hospital bed. [Nothing was shown how she became the damsel]. She starts screaming due to the maggots on her lower arms that are entering through the scene. She notices a scalpel lying on her stomach and grabs it (hence only her upper chest was bound and not her hands). She uses the scalpel to cut her arms to remove the maggots. Scenes is intermingled with a love scene going on elsewhere in the facility. A gal comes into the room at 51’ mark to find a blanket over the bed. She removes the blanket and finds Alison has meant an unfortunate end. Alison was stilled gagged and bound to the bed. At 65’ mark, gal walks into the basement and finds Nicky (Griffith) strapped down to a table that has adjustable positions for each arm. She is tied down with barb and razor wire. Several tubes from a bucket above her head are placed in her mouth. Some dialysis machines are operating around her, that they are actually pumping blood into her body instead of removing the water from her system. The gal tries to remove the hoses, but the damsel is ‘filling up’ to fast and actually explodes. [Nothing was shown on how the damsel was captured]. At 72’ mark, the early heroine goes further through the basement and finds Dr. Ryan (O’Conner). She was standing in water much earlier and was shocked by the villain, but this is the first we see her. She is constantly saying “He is real”. Appears she had some serious electroshock treatment during her earlier ordeal. She gets a hand gag from the heroine and then the heroine finds duct tape to use instead. Ms. Ryan is just standing there and not bound or restrained in anyway. There is a special feature on the DVD that shows storyboard, stills and video of how they took the storyboards to the video shot. Not much sound. Only the gals at the 48’ and 65’ are shown with much detail. All times without commercials. |

Record number: 10348 Title: The Big Empty (2003) Medium: Movie Actress: Rachael Leigh Cook Description: In this limited-release comedy with a sci-fi bent, Ruthie (Cook) is kidnapped offscreen by her lovesick ex-boyfriend Randy (Adam Beach). 48 minutes in, our hero John (Jon Favreau) finds Randy holding her in a junkyard, tied up in the back of a truck. Wearing a flowery blouse and jeans, she's cleave-gagged with a red bandanna, her hands are taped in front and tied to her knees with a leather strap, and her ankles are bound with a wide cloth. "She broke up with me!" Randy shouts. "So you tied her up?" John shouts back incredulously. Meanwhile, Randy's threatening John with a chainsaw, so John decides to buy himself some insurance by holding a gun on Ruthie. This gives her an opportunity for some great emoting (and some great closeups). Randy backs off, and John pulls down Ruthie's gag. "YOU WERE GOING TO SHOOT ME!" she screams, which is all the excuse John needs to put the gag right back on and carry her to his van, still bound and gagged. As he does so, he admonishes Randy: "This is not how you treat a woman. You don't kidnap a woman. You don't tie her to a chair." (Well, actually, in the final cut of the movie, he didn't -- but see below.) "You don't put a gag in a woman's mouth!" A few moments later, we see John dropping Ruthie off at home, no longer gagged but still bound (or so we infer). "It's alright, Mom, he rescued me," she explains. "It wasn't him that tied me up, it was Randy." "Randy did this to you?" Mom asks. Ruthie just smiles coyly, and John stoops to lift her out of the van. But that's not all, because the DVD offers more great extras for us than literally any other that I can remember. Turns out that, as originally written, Randy grabs Ruthie a *second* time, as shown in three consecutive deleted scenes (starting with the one entitled "Goin' for a Ride") and one extended scene ("Randy's Speech in Desert"). First she's handgagged, and moments later, we see her gagged with the same red cloth and tied to a chair in the back of a pickup truck. The bondage in this sequence isn't actually all that convincing -- it seems to consist primarily of a sweater that's loosely tied around the chair and her torso, and her ankles don't appear to be bound at all -- but once again, the emoting and closeups are top-notch. (Not to mention that her blouse this time around is a lot more low-cut.) Still not enough, you say? Be sure to check out the commentary tracks for both the junkyard scene in the film itself and the second deleted scene in particular. After various comments about how Cook seemed to spend half of the filming process bound and gagged (and about how freezing she was during the pickup scene), the director goes on in both cases to describe an incident that happened during the filming: gas was leaking from the vehicle, the crew were scattering in panic, and Cook could only sit there tied to the chair. This struck me as somewhat odd, due to the aforementioned lack-of-convincing-bondage factor -- but the director tells us that Cook will never let him forget it, so who knows. |
