A Bring Out the GIMP (Girls in Merciless Peril) Movie Review


Bondage Classics 13

Reviewed by Brutus


Well, I guess this would be a good time as any to go back in time for some older Blakemore work. So here goes:

BONDAGE CLASSICS 13

This HOM effort compiles seven separate stories, some outstanding, others disappointing. A number of consistencies run throughout the film. There is consistently no dialogue. The women are consistently hot. The bondage is consistently tight. And the editing is consistently bad. (Oh, and this review is consistently long-winded.)

Forced Entry

Kathy Knight is in big trouble. A masked man (Whitman/Blakemore) reads a note instructing him to "make her cooperate" because she has details on something called the "Hutchins Affair." He enters her apartment as the pretty blond target tries to flee out the window. He forces her to put leather straps on her wrists and ankles, and then stands her on a stool. Her wrist straps are chained to a ring above and the stool is removed. As she's hanging there, her short yellow one-piece shirt/dress gets lifted up, exposing her black panty-encased ass. She kicks at him with her white, knee-high boots so he secures her ankles together.

Now on to the good stuff. He unzips the front of her top to reveal a nice set of natural tits, which he naturally fondles and slaps. As her legs start to glisten in sweat, he yanks off her panties and dangles them in front of her face. She pleads no, and closes her mouth. We may not know what the hell the Hutchins Affair is, but we sure know where those panties are gonna end up.

He entices her to cooperate by smacking her tits with a belt, then packs the panties in and keeps them place with the belt. He then uses a long piece of wood as a leg-spreader bar.

Suddenly, she's seated on the stool. He binds her arms behind, but she still won't cooperate. Again, without a smooth transition, he has her tits tied and plays with her nipples and pussy as she shakes her head.

Showing he means business (after all, this has to do with the *shudder* Hutchins Affair), he attaches a makeshift wooden dildo to a stick. Kathy is now standing, arms tied in front but legs still secured to the spreader bar. He wraps a belt around her neck and inserts the dildo, with the bottom end of the stick screwed into the spreader bar so the contraption is an upside down "T."

Although the bottom of her dress obscures our view of the insertion, we do see some blood oozing down the wooden dildo. Blakemore shoves it in a bit more and blood appears smeared on his fingers. He molests her as she gives a great look of agony.

Next, she is lying on her back, ungagged and arms in front holding the wooden dildo that's still inside her. Blakemore panty gags her again and leaves her there as she plays with her breasts. I guess this means she is cooperating.

This was a pretty mean-spirited entry, but the choppy editing was an annoyance, as well as the "happy" ending.

Bondage by Prescription

Lovely nurse Rene Baker is sitting alone when a man, presumably Blakemore, in surgeon's clothes and a grotesque monster mask, chloroforms her. She comes to sporting a ring gag consisting of white tape and, I think, the inner role of the tape. Her wrists are taped over her head to a vertical pipe, and her legs are tied together with rope and suspended. Blakemore unbuttons her nurse's uniform (I guess white garter belts are part of the dress code there) and attaches medical clamps to her gorgeous and natural tits. Give me Rene Baker's body over any surgically enhanced one nowadays.

Blakemore plays with her pussy and tits for a while as she writhes around to the cheesy porno music.

Next, she's standing with her back to the pole and her arms taped behind. He uses the medical clamp to grab her tongue through the ring gag. At this point, her tears cause the mascara to stream down her cheek. And we get great eye expressions of this poor damsel in distress.

But wait! She kicks him! Startled and a bit befuddled, Blakemore gets a belt and lashes her tits and midriff, then uses a spreader bar to keep those pesky legs in place. He pulls down her sheer panties a bit and yanks at her pubes with the clamp.

Then the annoying editing takes over.

Suddenly, she's ungagged as he applies a tight crotchrope and rubs her pussy. Fade out and fade in to her AOH, in a chair, with her legs still in the spreader bar that's hoisted up, leaving her pussy vulnerable to attack. She is rope-gagged. Blakemore strokes her lovely legs and pussy, and then inserts a dildo (not shown but her facial reaction indicates what's going on).

Like magic, Blakemore's now sitting in the chair with Rene standing over his knee. Her arms are tied behind her back and she is not gagged. He again plays with her goodies, then forces her down to give him a blow job.

This is another strong entry. Rene is gorgeous and gives some great facial expressions while Blakemore is typically mean. But this segment also suffers from choppy editing. The transitions between some of the different bondage settings are non-existent. For example, after he starts forcing her to give him head, we immediately jump to ...

Captured 1

A very hot blonde (don't know her name but she appears in other Bondage Classics films) in a really short skirt and white boots comes home as the villain (Blakemore) sneaks into the basement through a window. The clumsy intruder knocks over a flower pot so blondie wisely decides to investigate--alone. As she makes her way down the stairs, the villain in a stocking mask attacks, and he somehow knocks her unconscious by simply grabbing her arms.

Seated on the floor, she is tied to a concrete pillar by her elbows behind her back. As she awakens, he rips open her blouse and stuffs a wad of cloth in her mouth and cleave gags her. He orders her to stand up as the music intensifies. She refuses so he removes his belt and smacks her a bit. We get close-ups of her face in a supposed reaction to the lashing. She looks absolutely beautiful.

After blondie is finally standing, Blakemore ties her legs to the pillar. But this entire vignette suffers because she herself gets into her predicament. With her free hands, she fondles her breasts, which remain encased in a white bra. With some encouragement from his belt, Blakemore orders her to take down her skirt and we see she's wearing some damn sexy white panties. After some bad editing, he secures one of her ankles up to a pulley, ties her wrists together and applies a crotch-rope that gets looped over the pulley. Then he waves goodbye to her.

A rather weak entry, given the consensual aspect of it and the fact that her underwear is never removed. It gets better, and stranger, in ...

Captured 2

It seems the intruder is a music lover. Our blond victim is led by the crotchrope, arms tied behind her back, and she's still in her underwear. He hoists up her arms so she's in a standing strappado, and the crotchrope is reapplied, Finally, and I mean finally, he removes her bra to reveal her natural tits. He gives them a squeeze and flicks her nipples. He puts her on the filthy basement floor, hogties her and gives her some more tit groping and a reverse wedgie.

Then, for reasons unexplained, he opens up a portable stereo in a suitcase and plays an album ("War Live").

Next, she's standing and her elbows are tied behind while her wrists are secured in front to a rope tied around her waist. After a close-up of the turntable (?!), she's now tied AOH with one of her legs bent at the knee and her ankle tied to her thigh. She does some nice jiggling. After some more screwy editing, her other leg is roped in the same fashion so she's suspended.

He grabs at her tits, which magically transports her to the floor again, where her wrists are tied in front and her legs are free of the ropes, but not the white boots. He suspends her upside down by the ankles, and her arms are now tied behind her back. We get some nice close-up shots of ... the album cover for War Live. He leaves her suspended so she can listen to Eric Burdon.

This vignette is an improvement from Captured 1. But my feelings on using lingering shots of the turntable and War Live album can be summed up by lyrics from The Boss:

War

What is it good for

Absolutely nothing

Say it again

Bitches' Just Reward

Despite the title, there is only one "bitch" here, a brunette who is nicely tape-gagged with her arms tied behind. She is wearing a black party dress. A ski-mask wearing dude leads her to a bathroom and ties her wrists to the top of the stall frame. He removes her dress so she's left in only a black thong, stockings and black high heels. He removes the cinder block she was standing on so she's suspended, and leaves her there to struggle helplessly.

He returns to free her and ties her to a ladder, face side up, and arms secured behind through the rungs. Her ankles are tied to the sides of the ladder. He manhandles her tits and pussy.

He reties her wrists so they are over her head then whips her tits and legs with three strands of rope.

Despite the beautiful eyes of the victim and her convincing struggles, this isn't that strong. The whipping part was starting to get good as he targeted her pussy, but it ended too quickly. And I would have liked to see some indication on why she was given the label "bitch."

The Collaborator

In 1945 France, at the headquarters of the Free French Army, two hooded guys capture a lovely brunette traitor and secure her wrists behind her back with leather straps. They make it into a strappado for good measure. Like all good spies, she's wearing black panties, garter belt and high heels. The dungeon, by the way, looks like the basement in the Captured vignettes.

They secure her to a chair and attach her crotchrope to a pulley. One of the interrogators wraps a belt around her right ankle, and lifts it up and ties it to the free end of the crotch rope. They shove a big black ballgag in her mouth and lift up her top to reveal a strapless black bustier. This garment gets unbuttoned to expose her swollen nipples, which they promptly fondle and flick.

Now, she's in a standing spreadeagle tied between two wooden posts, but suddenly she's released (not shown) and ungagged. They crotchrope her and tie her wrists behind her as the ballgag magically reappears in her mouth. She's suspended upside down with her legs spread wide. One guy plays with her tits a bit while waving documents in front of her. The Nazi-sympathizer shakes her head no.

I liked this vignette, although it suffers from no dialogue, given that it's supposed to be an interrogation scene. Still, she gives some nice looks of disgust and anger over what's happening to her in her defiance. Viva la resistance!

Suspended Tension

We immediately jump into the action. A topless gloved brunette in black panties and garter belt is tied AOH in a basement. The villain hoists her up. He grips her nice firm breasts and then he sits down to admire his handiwork. He pulls out a stopwatch and has a smoke (supposedly 5 or so). He lets her down after an hour, according to the watch, and then we immediately jump out of the action. The film ends.

This is by far the weakest entry. It's way too brief and does not contain any real "tension" as mentioned in the title.

To sum up, Bondage Classics 13 has a lot of good stuff. The victims are all incredibly hot with sleek natural bodies. The bondage is mainly typical Blakemore, which means it has a nice air of nastiness. But all of the vignettes (which seem to get shorter as we go along) suffer from appalling editing. And some dialogue would have been nice.

Yet the pros outweigh the cons IMHO. Of the Bondage Classics films I have seen, #13 is lucky.

I'll give this a solid B

I watched a VHS version. The DVD (which may have cleaned up some of the editing) is available at Video Mayhem.
