Title: Mission: Impossible III (2006)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Michelle Monaghan, Keri Russell

Description: In the entry scene Ethan Hunt´s girlfriend Julia (Michelle Monaghan) is cuffed to a chair and tape-gagged. The villain Owen Davian (Philip Seymour Hoffman) treats her with a gun to get important information from Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) whose also cuffed to a chair.

The scene continues during the last 20 minutes. Owen shoots Julia, but suprise it was not her it was the incompetently female bodyguard of Owen with an - since Peter Graves succesfull time - typical Mission Impossible second face. Julia is still alive and kept at another place. Ethan is later just right at her real hideout where he finds her ... ah you guess right ... cuffed to a chair and gagged with silver tape. Davian rips off the tape fight against a few baddies and frees her finally. There is good mmpphing and struggling.

One other short scene in this movie: at around the 17:00 mark, Keri Russell is tied to a wheelchair (arms taped to the arms of the chair). She's been beaten up a bit. Rescued by Mr. Cruise pretty quick. No gag.

The Black Dahlia

Channel: MoreMAX
Scene of interest occurs in second half
Record number: 12816

Title: The Black Dahlia (2006)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Mia Kirshner

Description: As aspiring actress Elizabeth Short in this adaptation of James Ellroy's novel based on her infamous 1947 murder, she appears in a short black-and-white porn film being screened before police detectives about an hour and ten minutes in. Dressed in black underwear and garters, she kneels on a bed while her "costar" (Jemima Rooper) lashes her wrists to the bedposts with what appears to be white rope, then precedes to sodomize her while she grimaces at the camera.

There are a couple of brief flashbacks later in the movie. At about an hour and forty minutes, as the lead detective (Josh Hartnett) comes upon the bedroom where the movie was filmed and recognizes the posts, there's a closeup shot of Short's wrist loosely roped to one of them that lasts for a couple of seconds. Some ten minutes after that, there's a full wide color shot of the scene being filmed that unfortunately is about as brief as the previous flashback.

Description: Aptly-titled Leslie Nielsen stinker with the redeeming feature of Ms. Winter ("Cassandra") shown gagged with translucent tape (lips showing through) when discovered by our hero under some bubblewrap (and wearing a catsuit of same) at around the 63' mark (COMEDY CENTRAL airing). For all of six seconds.

She's also briefly glimpsed a minute or so earlier, covered by the stuff atop a gurney being wheeled down a corridor.
