| Terrific handgag scene for Bridget Fonda early on |
|
Record number: 3865 Title: The Godfather Part III (1990) Medium: Movie Actress: Bridget Fonda Description: Around a half hour or so into the movie, these goons are sent to kill Vincent Mancini (Andy Garcia). Fonda plays a reporter who is sleeping with him that night. When she goes to get Vincent a glass of water, she is grabbed from behind by one of the henchmen and handgagged. He holds his hand firmly over her mouth as the two goons go after Vincent. At one point they even attempt to slit her throat. The handgagging lasts around a minute and a half, with some excellent cloe-ups of a terrified Bridget, especially when one of the villains tries to cut her throat. A very well-done, underappreciated four- star scene. |

| Full treatment for Holly Hunter |
|
Record number: 11837 Title: The Big White (2005) Medium: Movie Actress: Holly Hunter Description: I can't say when these scenes occur in the film or how widely they are spaced, since this summary is based on a compilation DVD, but this is an unexpectedly cool find. (And it may even be a good movie in its own right, based on the comparisons I'm seeing to "Fargo," which did indeed spring to mind when I first saw the clip.) Wearing pajamas, Margaret (Hunter) gets captured at gunpoint, and is next seen tied to a chair with bungee cords and duct tape. Then, she's been gagged with duct tape, then cleave-gagged with a white cloth, then ungagged, then regagged (and handgagged) onscreen. Next, she's on a bed with her ankles and knees tied together with duct tape. Similarly for her elbows, wrists, and hands, which are all taped in front. She manages to grab a phone with her feet, work the gag off, and dial the phone with the aid of a digital thermometer which she holds in her mouth. Finally, she's reunited with her husband (Robin Williams), after a couple shots of her cleave-gagged again (though apparently unbound) in the back of a car. My edited clip is a solid two minutes long, which isn't bad. |
