Record number: 869 Title: Gridlock (1996) Medium: TV Movie Actress: Kathy Ireland Description: Kathy is grabbed by the bad guys about 90 minutes in and spends a lot of time bound and gagged in this TV movie. After being taken captive, the bad guy talks with David Hasselhoff for the exchange rules; when Hasselhoff answers the phone and says "Where is she?", the bad guy says to one of his goons: "Gag her." Kathy is then handgagged hard in an extreme closeup as scene fades to commerical. When action resumes, Kathy is shown gagged with duct tape, from a bit of a side angle while sitting. The bad guy puts his revolver under her chin, and lifts her head up with it. Kathy's eyes spread wide open in a nice shot. Later, Kathy is shown still gagged from the opposite profile while standing up before bad guy takes her away again. Later, Kathy is shown from a medium-range shot leaning over sitting on crates in a van, still gagged with hands tape-tied in front. Other bad guy enters the van, and Kathy leans up and glares at him. After a scene shift, camera cuts back for the finale: Kathy still gagged in an extreme closeup. Bad guy then rips the tape off as Kathy grimaces. Her hands remain tied in front as she tries to untie herself before her eventual rescue |

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. |
