How about _A Clockwork Orange_? I started watching it last night for first time ever… Lordy! I’m hoping by the time the movie’s over there’ll be something other than bondage. Comes to mind the scene where they break into the couple’s nice, contemporary home, he’s typing and she’s in a “pod” reading, after feigning an auto accident but it sure wasn’t the only bondage scene. ---

The only thing I remember about Howard the Duck was Lea Thompson tied up. After Hours (1985) has a great bit with Linda Fiorentino. Wedding Crashers has a little bondage in it as well. ---

**The Perils of Gwendoline in the Land of the Yik-Yak** (AKA **the Perils of Gwendoline** , or even just **Gwendoline** ) is based onm an S&M comic strip. It features a lot of fetish visuals and some nudity, but is surprisingly tame otherwise. One gets the feeling that the filmmmakers weren’t sure what kind of movie they wanted to make. Still, lotsa bondage of various types, if that’s what you’re into: > **[The Perils of Gwendoline in the Land of the Yik Yak (1984) - IMDb](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087903/)** > > The Perils of Gwendoline in the Land of the Yik Yak: Directed by Just Jaeckin.

This thread has forced me to admit something to myself that I had never considered before: Virtually **every** B Western and TV Western had at least one instance of bondage! Perish the thought. ---

Jessica Alba was bound and whipped in “Sin City”. I don’t think it was meant to be titillating, but…(ahem) Nicole Kidman was tied up for some S&M in “Birthday Girl”. Pretty sure that there was some bondage in “Tie me up, tie me down” I seem to recall a pilgrim movie with Elisha Cuthbert being put in the stockades only to tickled and teased mercilessly by the men of the town, but I might have only dreamed it. ---

There is a great bondage scene in “The Boston Strangler” between Tony Curtis and Sally Kellerman. It is really sensual. He ties the naked Sally (well you don’t actually _see_ any nudity - darn) to a four-poster bed. First one foot then the other, then one arm then the other. Don’t worry, she does _not_ get strangled but he seriously roughs her up during her escape attempt. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/great-bondage-scenes-in-movies/313172.md?page=2)
