The Americans

The Americans was a TV show that starred Keri Russell as the wife and mother of a family of spies. She and her husband were Russian operatives who lived the American dream while spying on the US at the same time.

In the first season episode, Trust Me, Keri's character is abducted from her home while she's barefoot.

She's kept captive in a small room that has photos of her children all over the walls.

Later, she has her hands tied behind her back--however, we never see her hands, nor her bonds. Still, Keri goes barefoot throughout this whole episode.

What's Going On?

My plucky heroine in my latest Poser picture is hell-bent on freeing herself however she can, but when she notices something strange about her abductor, she can't help but wonder what's going on, right here.

Note: the picture I used is from Lucky Jo.

Dune: Prophecy

I saw the first episode of Dune Prophecy, and I liked it. So far, so good. There were some things that bugged me (they're trying for a very Game of Thrones vibe here, ignoring the fact that the Dune saga has been around for far longer with its very own, original sensibility), but I'm interested in who (or what) Desmond Hart really is. There are some fleeting BF scenes in the first episode; hopefully more will come in later episodes. Overall, I'm intrigued.

Alas Smith And Jones

Alas Smith and Jones was a comedy skit show that aired in England way back when.

In this skit, two guys abduct a young woman, who's sitting bound and gagged--and barefoot--on the bed. One guy calls her husband for the ransom.

But they realize they're calling the wrong guy and hilarity ensues. You can see this clip right here.

Third Watch

Back in the mid 2000s, there was a cop show on A&E called Third Watch.

In the first season episode, Sunny, Like Sunshine, the police are asking questions of a possible suspect, when they start hearing pounding noises.

When the police investigate, they find a scantily-clad woman tied up in the bathroom.

She had been pounding on the wall with her bound bare feet, trying to get the cops' attention.

It worked, she managed to get herself rescued.

And please excuse the roughness of these 'caps. I recorded this scene directly from the TV show on VHS tape back then. I transferred the scene to DVD to make the 'caps. These were the original 'caps that I had on my old site.

Girls Are For Loving

At some point during the third Ginger movie Girls Are For Loving, the grown daughter of a US senator has been kidnapped.

She's relaxing with her boyfriend/husband on a sailboat, barefoot and clad in a bikini.

But fun times are interuppted by scuba diving bad guys who board the boat.

She's stashed at the bad guys' lair, still clad in her bikini and bound with her wrists above her head.

Ginger's partner, played by Timothy Brown, goes to rescue her, and winds up in a battle with one of the evil minions. The woman can be seen in the background of this fight.

Despite the briefness of her bondage, I still like this little scene. I don't know the name of the actress. Her character doesn't even have a name in the film, other than being known as 'senator's daughter.'

Natural Born Killers

Natural Born Killers was directed by Oliver Stone (Platoon, Wall Street), and I'm tempted to say that it was his take on serial killers. But it was more than that.

While the main characters were a pair of serial killers played by Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis, Stone tired to also cover the media frenzy surrounding their kill spree, and a pre-Iron Man Robert Downey Jr. co-starred as a reporter.

Corinna Laszlo plays the bound damsel here.

She's one of the victims of the serial killing couple, who they keep bound and gagged in a corner of their motel room.

She's bound barefoot, and while it's hard to see her bonds, she's got a great tape gag.

Sadly, her character doesn't survive this ordeal.
