Johnny Guitar
Day: Saturday August 22 2009
Time: 4:00 PM eastern
Channel: Turner Classic Movies (TCM)
Joan Crawford bound.
Record number: 1097

Title: Johnny Guitar (1954)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Joan Crawford

Description: Odd Western with Crawford as a saloonkeeper accosted by a mob led by her main rival (Mercedes McCambridge), searching for a young tough she's sheltering. When they find him hiding under a table, they decide it's time for a little frontier justice. After a brief struggle, they grab Crawford and lead her outside, where she and the boy are put on horses with their hands tied behind their backs, then ride off with the mob to the light of the flickering flames of the torched saloon. They stop underneath a bridge over which nooses are thrown. After the boy is done in, Crawford's horse is led to the remaining noose, but the men have second thoughts. For a moment she sits with the noose around her neck while McCambridge solicits a volunteer to slap the horse out from under her, before taking the job on herself at Crawford's suggestion. When she does, it carries Crawford off to safety, an unseen cohort having slipped onto the bridge and cut the rope. He is shown untying Crawford and helping her down off the horse a few seconds later.

Rest Stop
Day: Saturday August 22 2009
Time: 10:00AM Central
Channel: Syfy
Title: Rest Stop (2006) aka Rest Stop: Dead Ahead
Medium: Movie
Actress: Deanna Russo

Description: This is a rather gory slasher movie with an inane plot. The heroine, a beautiful brunette, must rescue her boyfriend, who has been abducted by a deranged redneck who is driving around in a dilapidated pickup truck. Much of the action occurs in the vicinity of an abandoned rest stop with a filthy restroom.

The heroine discovers another young brunette, imprisoned in a janitor's closet. The brunette recounts her tale of horror, being abducted by the driver of the pickup truck, and taken to his domicile, an abandoned school bus. There are flashback scenes of her bound to a hospital gurney and being tortured rather gruesomely.


See No Evil
Day: Saturday August 22 2009
Time: 11:30AM Central
Channel: Syfy
Title: See No Evil (2006)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Zoe Ventoura, Samantha Noble

Description: Around the 5:30 mark. Nothing much, she's strapped to a gurney by hospital medics & put into an ambulance. Not really bondage in MY book & probably could be removed from entry, your call. Eyes are bandaged, as her eyes had been gouged out earlier (before movie began, presumeably). Actress is Zoe Ventoura. At the 38:00 mark. A blink-&-you-miss-it flashback scene of Zoe (see above) in the hospital ward, secured to hospital bed probably for her own protection. Not in any peril. Eyes bandaged still. Another one not really worth mentioning.

At the 40:45 mark or there'bouts. Actress is Samantha Noble. There are 3 scenes of this. First one at 40:45, then seen again at 41:40, and then a third tiime at around the 42:00 minute marks. During this final scene with Samantha, there is black & white flashback shot to when Zoe (see above) was a prisoner of the psycho. Is a total blink-&-you-miss-it scene, less than a second, probably one frame. Can't even see any gag, as the shot is from the top of her head view (camera is behind her as she's tied to bed, level with her). Can see her tied feet in the distance though. And no close-ups. This scene is shown again later, though, in much more & better detail. At the 43:00 mark & again at the 1:02:00 mark. Basically, that's it. Samantha Noble has been untied & is now in a low cage, no restraints.

At the 1:09:51 mark. This is actually a more involved & better detailed flashback of when Zoe Ventoura was first a prisoner of the psycho. It's the same as that very quick flashback mentioned earlier but with much more detail. Still black & white, we see several nice close-ups of Zoe tightly cleave gagged, tied to the bed. A couple good shots of her crossed & tied bare feet also. Unfortunately, she also gets her eye gouged out at the end (remember, she is the girl seen at the VERY beginning with her eyes gouged out on the gurney...apparently the other eye was ripped out at some point but we only see one removed here...and it's the one not facing us so you don't really see it thank goodness.

in addition to the ones listd above in which Samantha Noble is bound and gagged by the deranged villain behind a two-way mirror. He is spying on her friends while she, bound and gagged, is unable to warn them. She is gagged with a cloth tied very tighty across her mouth. The scene is somewhat lengthy, and the villain fondles her while she is bound and gagged.
Saw
Day: Saturday August 22 2009
Time: 1:30PM Central
Channel: Syfy
Title: Saw (2004)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Monica Potter, Shawnee Smith

Description: The film contains gory violence and disturbing images. Shawnee Smith is duct taped by the wrists to a chair, and has a giant mechanical gag device padlocked on her head. She has enough time to pull free of her bonds, then has to locate the key to unlock the gag (which also serves as a death trap).

Monica Potter is the wife of the hero, and is grabbed as leverage/bait. She is cleavegagged with a scarf and shown struggling with her restraints: Potter's hands are tied behind. Potter pulls free of her gag, then her bonds, but has to regag herself when the villain returns.

The sequences are fairly lengthy, including lingering closeups of faces and hands (including blink and miss ones). Smith's scene is at minute 24, while the Potter scenes are at 39 (just over a minute), 70 (no gags or visible bondage in this one), 80 (five minutes, with several cutaways), and 96 (quick flashback shots only).


Miami Vice
Day: Saturday August 22 2009
Time: 11:00AM Central
Channel: USA
I can't believe this movie isn't in the database. There are two scenes in this movie. In the first scene, a woman is tied to a chair. Her barefeet are tied apart to the chair legs. The second scene has a woman handcuffed.
The Brothers Grimm
Day: Saturday August 22 2009
Time: 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM eastern
Channel: Channel 9 (New York City area)
Lena Headey bound and gagged.
Record number: 11614

Title: The Brothers Grimm (2005)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Lena Headey aka Lena Heady

Description: Lena Headey, the female lead in the Gilliam film is captured several times. The first is with a chain around the ankle in a barrel.

The second has her manacled, wrists behind and is seated on a chair. At first glance, it looks like she is manacled to the chair, but that isn't the case.

There is a third scene (very short) where she is trying to escape, and runs out her wrists are manacled in front, but instead of a chain, a spreader bar (about 2 feet long) is used.

The final one has her being led by a rope around her neck. Her wrists are manacled in front as in the above scene.

Her torso is wrapped with what looks like half a mile of rope. She sports a nice white cleave gag. Lots of emotion coming from her as she tries to escape, but she doesn't have much luck.

Wearing a old red dress like they apparantly wore back then.

In the Deleted scenes on the DVD, there is a scene, called "The Fat Soldier", with Lena tied to a fence, or railing, in a barn & cleave gagged. It's actually a much better scene than the "main" one. Several nice close-ups. She convinces a...well, fat soldier to remove her gag & finally untie her. Afterward, she gets the drop on him
