Title: The Big Empty (2003)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Rachel 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 cloth, 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.
