Millennium

There was once a TV series that aired in the late 1990s called Millennium. It was created and produced by Chris Carter, who also gave us the X-Files.

In the second season opener The Beginning & The End - Part 2, actress Megan Gallagher, who plays the wife of the show's hero, Frank Black, gets abducted by a psycho.

The psycho, known as the Polaroid Man, is played by Doug Hutchison, who also played the really creepy and memorable Eugene Victor Tooms on the X-Files.

You can see Megan's scene right here.

Amazonia

Amazonia (aka White Slave) was a B-movie from the mid-80s that was based on a true story. A woman had been cast off into the Amazon jungleby her enemies to die. But instead of dying, she adapted and became a jungle girl, sort of. The film was disappointing, as there wasn't as much bondage as I would have hoped, and what little bondage the film had wasn't very good.

But the covers for the VHS/DVD boxes were always more satisfying for me, especially this one, which has the barefoot heroine hanging from a pole suspended between two of her captors.

Here's a little more involved picture, under the White Slave name, with her captors carrying her off in a wooden cage. It was often said that some of these old video covers were far better than the movies they advertised. In the case of Amazonia, that's certainly true.

A Fun Lark

A wealthy heiress wants to show off her new castle that she inherited, only to find there's somebody already living there. Find out what happens to the two women right here.

Note: The picture I used is from Student Services.

Various & Sundry

Been a while since I've last done this. Here's Selena Gomez, a sometime singer and a great actress (she's very good in Only Murders In The Building) performing sans shoes with her backup singers.

Don't know who this lovely lady is (and judging from the shades, it looks like she wants it that way. She's taking a nice barefoot stroll for herself.

Not sure who this lovely lady is, either. But in this very nice picture, does it really matter?

Abbie Chatfield makes a determined barefoot stride as she delivers some burgers.

Barefoot bike riding is something I've done countless times as a boy. But she looks much better doing it.

Gillian Anderson is out there while riding barefoot on horseback. The truth is right here.

The Baron

The Baron was a 1960s TV show about an American who's a member of British royalty who drives around England, getting in trouble.

In the opening scene of the episode The Maze, Judith Arthy stars as a young woman who's being held captive in her own home, which happens to be a pretty big mansion. Judith is struggling mightily against her bonds, having been tied to a chair in an attic storage room.

She's also gagged. Knocking over a glass of water that was on the table, Judith uses one of the broken shards to cut her wrists free.

What I love about this escape scene is that it takes a while for Judith to free herself, and it's not an easy task.

Would I have preferred her to be barefoot? Of course, but this is still one of my favorite scenes, just for her intense struggling--and Judith gets recaptured, and re-tied again, which is also on this clip. M Johns did a great job, and you can see it right here.

The New World

The New World was directed by Terrence Malick. It dealt with the first arrival of European settlers on the North American continent.

The film dealt with the clash of cultures between the settlers and the indigenous people.

Q'orianka Kilcher played Pocahontas, of the Powhatan people.

And she went barefoot a great deal in the film.

To say that Q'orianka Kilcher was perfectly cast as Pocahontas is putting it mildly. She's fantastic in the role.

The New World is recommended for more than just its BF scenes, though.

It's a very well-done movie that examines the culture shock that both sides receive from their first meeting--which is depicted just like a first contact situation from science fiction, which it really is: a first contact between the old and new worlds.

It's one of Terrence Malick's best films, IMHO.

Truth Or Die

Truth or Die is a horror movie version of the old game, Truth Or Dare.

Two young couples get captured by a psycho.

They all get tied to chairs, with the women going barefoot throughout their bondage.

They're not gagged. The only thing close to a gag here is this gizmo, which is shoved into the mouth of one of the women.

And then they play 'spin the bottle,' but this probably isn't a game you should be playing with a psycho.

Especially when there's bondage involved.

The damsels--played by Florence Hall and Jennie Jacques--are bound BF throughout the whole film.

As a horror movie, Truth Or Die is recommended.

Space Hippies

The Way To Eden (aka the Space Hippies episode) wasn't one of the better third season episodes of Star Trek, but it was enjoyable in another way.

The Enterprise rescues a group of space hippies from an exploding shuttle (which they stole). One of them is the son of a prominent ambassador, which prevents Kirk from throwing all of them into the brig.

Seeing that they're hippies, this means that all of the women are barefoot, including Irina Galliulin (Mary Linda Rapelye), a former flame of Chekov's from his Academy days.

Deborah Downey and Phyllis Douglas play the other two space hippie girls, whose names are not mentioned in the show (although Phyllis Douglas has been ID-ed as having the name Mavig on some sites).

For us, it's a great BF episode, but as an episode of Star Trek, it's pretty bad. It offers a real cringey look at the then-present day hippie culture (it originally aired in 1969, right at the height of the counter-culture movement).

And add to all of this the incessant singing--ugh! At least Charles Napier, who did all the singing here, went onto better things. He was the lead villain in the first Lethal Weapon film.

Morangos

This is a clip from a Portuguese TV series called Morangos. And despite it being short, it's one of my favorites.

Don't know who this barefoot beauty is, but she's tightly tied to a chair, looking like she's had her beach vacation rudely canceled.

Sometimes the shorter the clip is, the better, because it gets right to the point, like how the camera pans up from her bound bare feet here. You can see it right here.

Weird Jail

Spring break was a little too wild for Anita, who got drunk and then got into a fight with a cop over the fact that she was walking around in public with no top. Her punishment was certainly interesting, as you can see right here.

Note: The picture above is from Hostel 2.

A Nightmare On Elm Street (2010)

The original A Nightmare On Elm Street was released back in 1984 and was directed by legendary horror film master Wes Craven. It dealt with a supernatural killer who kills his victims in their dreams.

They remade A Nightmare on Elm Street back in 2010. It was not a good idea, because the remake wasn't very good.

However, the remake, in recreating scenes of beautiful women being stalked by Freddy Kruger in their nightmares, had its fair share of BF scenes.

The result is plenty of great BF moments.

And one of these barefoot women was Rooney Mara, who would go on to play The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo the following year--this was a much better remake than Nightmare.

But at least in the Nightmare remake Rooney goes barefoot both in and out of her dreams.

The Nightmare remake offers some very nice and up close BF shots.

I have a feeling we'll be seeing another Nightmare remake within the next few years. They're remaking everything else. Hope the next Nightmare is better than the first remake was.
