_9 to 5_ has a scene or two involving the boss (Dabney Coleman) trussed up in a creative medley of dog collars, hang-gliding harness and a garage door opener. ---

_Used People_ has a scene where Joe Pantoliano is tied up and flicked with hot candle wax by Marcia Gay Harden (I think he is dressed in a leopard-print speedo at the time…). Hot and rather frightening, all at the same time… ---

The recent Frat Pack _Wedding Crashers_ has two scenes of Vince Vaughn tied to a bed and, er, ruffled. ---

> [@tripthicket](#): > > This thread reminded me of a scene in some otherwise-forgotten movie I’d seen on Skinemax or somesuch long ago. Some female who was probably a vampire or otherwise invested with supernatural strength was trying to convince some guy to have sex with her. Guy was reluctant because he didn’t want her to put the bite on him, or something like that. She had him handcuff her hands behind her back, then was on her knees on the bed, nude, waiting for Mr. Timid to take a ride. Something else then happened, they had to go somewhere in a hurry, and she snapped the cuffs like they were paper. Mr. Timid sputters that she could have done that at any time and how was he ever safe and blah blah blah onward to the rest of the movie. Innocent Blood is the movie, the vampire gal is played by Anne Parillaud. Nice scene. ---

I might add that in general, Skinamax is FULL of sexual bondage scenes involving guys being tied up. They used to have women in bondage, but they cut that out in the lat 90s in a fit of badly timed political correctness. That said, the bondage in Skinamax films is almost always laughably bad – I wrote an article about the way Skinamax portrays people who are into bondage as not knowing how to tie a knot or even loop a rope around a wrist. Movies featuring lots of scenes of guys in bondage include the Skinamax film Secret Needs (about a guy who likes to be tied up) Jill the Ripper (Dolph Lundgren investigates his brother’s death, disvcovers he was into bondage, winds up tied up a lot, hence the alternate title, Tied Up) and Hotel Exotica has a scene of a guy tied to a chair and getting a lap dance. There are plenty of others, I just can’t think of them offhand. ---

The _Suicide Kings_ has Christopher Walken tied up for much of the movie. Jerry Lewis is taped up in _The King of Comedy_. ---

Serendipitously, I taped a movie called “Descendent” the other night, because it has a bondage scene featuring the delectable Katherine Heigl. But it also has a scene with a guy in a suit bound and gagged (looks kinda like a young William Katt) being menaced by the titular descendent of Jack the Ripper, who’s wearing casual clothes – looks like black slacks and a matching blazer. BTW, for those who like female bondage scenes I CANNOT stress to you enough the importance of giving some Japanese hentai a try. They are awesome. For starters, something nice like “Swallowtail Inn” or “Dragon Pink” or “Darling.” ---

Some malesub scenes: **One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest** - the EST scene. **Ricochet** - stupid movie with a scene where John Lithgow has Denzel drugged and bound to a bed while a prostitute has sex with him against his will. **Repo Man** - Female investigator and her assistant has Emilio Estevez bound to a table and hooked up to, I believe, some sort of electric torture device. **Lethal Weapon 2** - I think it was 2 anyway. Mel Gibson was bound by Gary Busey and then electrocuted by some hairy asian dude. **Audition** - A Japanese horror film by Takashi Miike containing perhaps the most intense malesub/femdom scene in mainstream movies ever. The bondage is acheived not by ropes or chains, but by a (presumably fictional) drug which paralyzes the victim but leaves his CNS awake. She then proceeds to torture him in a way not for the squeemish. Be forewarned. ---

Oh, and of course, there’s **The Passion of the Christ** (which I still haven’t seen yet, but as I understand it, if you want to see a man in bondage…) Hmmmm… **Mad Max, Lethal Weapon 2, TPotC** … :eek: ---

In the mainstream I think **Secretary** is about the best. Fully consensual, and a fun film as well. The **Image** is about the best European BDSM film I know. For Anime **Cool Devices** have several very good eppisodes, though it does have some very unplesant non-consensual eppisodes as well. ---

The aptly named [All Tied Up](http://imdb.com/title/tt0105442/) has Zach Galligan tied up by a trio of bitter ex-girlfriends for most of the flick. They make him suffer one of the most abominable tortures a man could possibly endure - they force him to watch the Home Shopping Network for an entire day! ---

This reminds me of another movie, and it may well be the same one, wherein some guy had assaulted a woman and she, along with 2 of her friends, had him backed up into a fireplace. He may have been tied up, had oven cleaner or somesuch sprayed into his eyes, and they kept him there with the fire grate and/or pokers. Much in the vein of _Lifetime_ movies.
