America's Most Wanted aired for years on TV. It sought to find and apprehend fugitives of crimes. And it did an outstanding job of doing this.
The show would recreate the crimes of the fugitives in video segments using actors.
And many of the scenes depicted on AMW were pretty intense. Like this one showing a barefoot woman clad in a kimono suffering through a home invasion.
The actress gets bound, gagged and blindfolded. It starts at the 2:39 mark. You can see this right here.
Into The Blue 2: The Reef is not a great flick. It's a pretty silly action movie with not much going for it.
Well, there's something from this flick to recommend: a BF bondage scene with actress Mircea Monroe. And, granted, she's tied up with two guys, which might bother some.
But she's got a wonderful tape gag, here. It's the 'wrap-around-the-head-and-make-the-mouth-vanish' kind of gag that I like.
And she's barefoot throughout her bondage scene, which lasts a good long time and is well-done. Her co-star, Laura Vandervoort, from Smallville, also has a nice BF scene where she's running barefoot through the streets of Honolulu (Laura doesn't get tied, though).
Despite how bad the film is overall, I still own a copy of it, just because of Mircea's BF bondage (and Laura's) scene. You can see Mircea's BF bondage moment right here.
Picking up where we left off yesterday, Debbie is brought down to where she will be held hostage by her kidnapper, within the massive pipes of an underground drainage system.
Having been untied so she could climb down the ladder, Debbie is bound again, starting with her bare feet.
This leads to one of the best--if not the best--onscreen tying up scenes with a pair of bare feet.
The attention to detail, along with the dirt on her feet, makes this perfect for me, and certainly one of the top ten BF bondage scenes.
The Black Panther movie caused a lot of controversy when it was first released, with many people accusing it of being a sleazy exploitation flick that re-opened the wounds of a real-life case. This is understandable, since the real-life kidnap victim (along with the damsel in the film) did not survive her ordeal.
Perhaps it was the passage of time, but in recent years, people have treated The Black Panther more kindly, hailing it as a superb crime drama, and with the BFI restoring it for a 2012 DVD release--which is where these vidcaps come from.
These were vidcaps that I made from an episode of America's Most Wanted. It was a true crime series that tried to track down wanted criminals who were still on the run.
They re-created the crimes with actors. In this case, a woman is abducted and tied up and gagged on screen before being placed in the trunk of her car.
A nice moment for me is when her bare feet are tied up on screen.
One of my favorite barefoot bondage scenes right here.
Back in the day I would just record episodes of AMW. I wouldn't even watch them live, just record them first. Then I would scan the tape later, looking for scenes. In this case, I got lucky.
The woman in this scene survives her ordeal. I wouldn't have used these 'caps (they originally appeared on my old website)if she hadn't. I think I still have the actual scene somewhere, transferred to a DVD, but I'm still digging around for it. If I find it, I'll post a link to it here.
Momentarily left on the bed, Betty struggles to figure out just what the heck is going on.
But the killer isn't done with her. He presses Betty up against a support column and gags her.
She's tightly tied to the column with some rope across her torso.
Her head is even bound to the column with rope.
And, in my favorite shot here, we see that her legs and bare feet are also securely tied.
And there's much more to come.
And here we come to what's easily the best part of Opera for me.
The abduction of Betty, played by Cristina Marsillach.
Barefoot, and clad only in an oversized shirt, Betty is grabbed during a home invasion where she is knocked out and gagged right on the bed.
She's got her hands tied at the wrists behind her back in one of a quick series of shots.
She wakes up to find herself already with her hands bound behind her and gagged.
And things are only just beginning.
There was a TV soap opera known as Edge Of Night. And, like most TV soaps, it had its fair share of scenes.
Frances Fisher plays Deborah Saxon, a detective who's been kidnapped. These episodes aired on EON back in 1979.
She's taken to the woods, where she's made to lay down.
She's already barefoot, having lost her shoes, before this clip.
Her feet get tied, and she gets gagged, all onscreen, which you can see right here.
Prime Suspect was a great cop series from England that starred Helen Mirren as Jane Tennison, a Detective Chief Inspectors in London's Metropolitan Police Force.
In series Five of Prime Suspect, Errors of Judgement (1996), Marsha Thomason stars as a woman who gets kidnapped.
She gets gagged with black tape right on screen. And then later her hands are tied behind her back, which is also shown onscreen.
Her kidnapper brings her over to a doorway and tells her to remove her shoes, which she does, stepping out of them.
She's now blindfolded with the black tape, as well as gagged with it.
She stands bare foot on the ledge. And now that she's blindfolded. she had no idea of what's really in front of her.
She winds up in a pit filled with junk.
Thankfully, she's rescued at the end. You can see this whole clip right here.
I've collected many clips over the years, going back a while. And although I recognize most of the clips I have in my library, there are some--like this one--that I have no idea what they're from.
So I've decided to call this one The Bikini Babe and the Angry Locals, because it shows a bikini clad (and barefoot) woman being abducted by what looks like an entire town.
She gets tied up, gagged, and then is placed in a trunk--but not after giving the attackers townspeople a good what's for. Seriously, despite being out-numbered, she was holding her own pretty well, there.
She gets rescued by a guy who starts chiding her. It's a weird one, but it's got a barefoot, bikini-clad babe in bondage, so it's not all that bad. You can see this right here.
