Mighty EARLY Tuesday mornin'! |
Record number: 966 Title: Futureworld (1976) Medium: Movie Actress: Blythe Danner Description: In a dream sequence about an hour and 10 minutes into the movie, her character imagines herself running down a stairway and through a series of corridors to get away from Yul Brynner's gunslinger character from Westworld, to which this film is a sequel. She opens a set of double doors and is grabbed by several masked figures dressed in red, who fasten her into a cross-shaped frame with her arms outstretched. The gunslinger comes upon the scene and proceeds to blow away the red guys, then stands before the frame as the scene dissolves into a room in which Danner stands before him with her wrists bound in front with a red sash. He pulls the sash away and they embrace. |

Channel: PAX |

Record number: 2771 Title: Scarecrow and Mrs. King Medium: TV Series Actress: Kate Jackson, Sandy Faison Description: Episode: "Vigilante Mothers" (2.23) Near the end, Amanda is led ungagged with her hands tied behind her into a back room of a commercial laundry by the lead baddie, surprising his female partner (Faison), who begins having second thoughts about their enterprise. After he lashes Amanda's wrists to the back of a chair he makes a spectacle of pressing a sheet with a large steam iron, by way of suggesting what he's going to do with her. What he ends up doing with her is tying her hands-over-head between other hanging garments on an overhead conveyor, which, when started, pulls her towards an incline beyond which she'll apparently go through an automatic presser. Scarecrow shows up before that happens, of course, whereupon he and Amanda team up to rescue Faison's character, who also gets led around a bit by her partner with her hands bound behind her, and ungagged as well. |

Law & Order: Criminal Intent: Homo Homini Lupus |
Day: Friday August 16 2002 |
Time: 10:00 pm ET |
Channel: NBC |
Much anticipated repeat ... |
Record number: 6772 Title: Law & Order: Criminal Intent Medium: TV Series Actress: Marianne Hagan, Stephi Lineburg, Bailey Slattery Description: Episode: "Homo Homini Lupis" (1.14) A loan shark kidnaps an embezzling executive's family as collateral for a huge debt. The ladies are blindfolded, shackled, gagged with duct tape. One character is raped by their menacing captor -- off screen, mercifully. The scene, despite this shortcomming, is a multi-damsel scene (a rare kind of scene that is always welcome in my book) with a reasonable length with some decent close-ups especially those of the mother and the elder daughter. In addition, the mother told the police that she and her daughters were "tied up" in a bathroom at a rest area on the NY Thruway when they were found by her father-in-law. Too bad they did not show the rescue! While I personally could have done without the rape scene, I have to admit that such scene certainly added to the episode's drama and suspense. Moreover, that scene gave a very credible sense of urgency and determination to police's efforts to catch the bad guy and also contributed greatly to the victims' ultimate decision to assist the police. Hence, the rape scene made a major contribution to the plot of the episode. |
