talk about having your hand stud I’d
like to speak to my lawyer
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
handcuff scenes in movies siren is nasty
business
for this list we’re looking at big
screen characters that become bound at
the wrists you let them handcuff you
wouldn’t be much for surrender if I
resisted whether they escape their cuffs
or not these scenes must use the item of
choice and a funny unique or just
awesome way also due to the climactic
nature of handcuffs there may be some
spoilers ahead now without further ado
it’s time to lock them up
number 10 Morpheus is escape the matrix
I’d like to share a revelation that I’ve
had poor Morpheus it’s not easy being
captured by agents and nearly left for
dead especially if you’re handcuffed can
you hear me Morpheus Laurence Fishburne
manages to demonstrate the tough
problems that come with being cuffed to
a chair and it’s not just because of
Hugo Weaving monotonous and constant
mutterings every mammal on this planet
instinctively develops a natural
equilibrium with the surrounding
environment propelling the film’s climax
with a tense escape scene Morpheus
proves himself to be the true breaker of
chains both metaphorically and here um
digitally
number nine off to the 3:10 train 3:10
to Yuma all away to Yuma let up them
steps to the rope
straight to him while Morpheus may have
only spent 10 minutes of screen time and
cuffs Russell Crowe nearly goes for half
of the film with his hands bound but
we’re going to focus on this scene in
which he almost manages to escape them
the leader of a ruthless gang of Outlaws
Ben Wade finds himself in a brief
conversational lockdown with dear old
Christian Bale after being goaded on by
Byron and cornered by William drop it
down Emma’s drop that’s that to the
ground we love this scene not only
because he uses the cuffs to
incapacitate a man but also because he
manages to wield a rifle with them on I
believe Dan you’re carrying a pistol as
well I’d appreciate if you take that out
and drop it on the ground thank you it’s
an exciting moment before they all
venture through the dust bowls I always
liked you buyer you never knew when to
shut up
even bad men not that Mama’s number
eight our cheese got to take a leak
bulletproof let’s speak with an accent
thank us the prisoner speaking of
venturing through large landscapes try
to imagine that with Adam Sandler
handcuffed to you at all times which
reminds me I got to take a leak right
now piss in your pants
we’re not stopping yeah we wouldn’t wish
that on our worst enemy but it provides
for a nice comedic back and forth
between former best friends in this
action flick seriously man I gotta take
a leak
I got to take a leak I gotta take a leak
for this Adam Sandler earned a beloved
Razzie nomination for needing to pee in
the desert yet falling victim to certain
interruption I know you ain’t gonna
believe me when I tell you this but the
day you got shot man that really wasn’t
I said I’m not finished
oh hey we never said it was a critically
successful comedic back and forth I got
piss on me number seven maximus is first
fight gladiator
with the gladiators introduction comes
the return of Russell Crowe to our list
handcuffed to his newfound friend in his
first fight
Maximus signifies the exact idea behind
the term underdog with the odds stacked
against him Maximus and Juba quickly
learned what most other handcuffed
characters don’t that this fabled
teamwork thing may actually be a good
idea
the high paced action and choreography
greatly impact how much we’re hooked on
this scene
number six Jack and the Titanic hold
Titanic don’t let go Jack because you
can’t when you’re slowly submerging into
the North Atlantic Ocean being
handcuffed to the most notorious sinking
ship is probably not the ideal place to
be work I guess we’ll find out
but it’s the sincere and trusting nature
of everyone’s favorite feature film
couple that makes this a scene to watch
we’ll try a couple practice swings over
there breaking the chains off your
beloved hands takes a lot of time and
practice something Rose cannot afford
listen rose I trust you given the title
most people know the outcome of the film
but this scene gets us in the pit of our
stomach every time go number five
Leia’s Prison Break Star Wars Episode
four a new hope
an old-style Western shootout in space
with a bit of comedic flair comes our
way
when Chewbacca’s handcuffs don’t quite
fit all the way around his hands bored
pause she’s not gonna work why did you
say so before I did say so before
seeking to rescue the princess from cell
block 1138 which is also a reference to
Lucas’s previous film thx 1138 it
doesn’t take long for an old-fashioned
firefight to break out of course Luke
and Han would Don handcuffs for real
many years later when pitted against the
Sarlacc while it’s a good way for
handcuffs to bring out the comedy in a
scene we wouldn’t classify this
situation as normal just stick close to
Chewie in lab three number four the day
they almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow
Pirates of the Caribbean the curse of
the Black Pearl
well well Jack Sparrow isn’t it Captain
Jack Sparrow decrees prisoner turned
captor is the name of this pirates
favorite game as he utters his most
famous catchphrase you are without doubt
the worst pirate I’ve ever heard of but
you have heard of me despite his
compromising circumstances Jack
Sparrow’s gymnastics filled escape is
brought to life by the tenacious Johnny
Depp gentlemen m’lady
you will always remember this as the day
that you almost caught Captain Jack
Sparrow proving almost experimental in
his vigorous getaway
Sparrow uses his iron bands to assist
him in the creation of a makeshift
zipline
this adventure-filled franchise is so
action-packed that it makes even the
mundane parts one heck of a ride
almost like one you’d find at Disney
World oh wait I knew you much me
number three drowned by the legs cake
beer can eyes you’re gonna learn to be
an animal you live like an animal and a
light one
nope it’s not just a Simpsons parody
it’s actually a seriously menacing film
and you should watch it what helps that
tense atmosphere is our newfound
favorite cinematic tool as handcuff
scenes are all over this movie my under
arrest whether it’s the tragic pleas of
a mother forcibly locked to a railing
just to marry or a good old Bobby De
Niro meeting a grimmer fate as his leg
is cuffed to a sinking boat handcuffs in
this psychological thriller are usually
used as a means of creeping out the
characters we’d say The Simpsons had a
bit more fun with it number two Anton
strangling No Country for Old Men
sheriff he had some sort of thing on him
like a oxygen tank for emphysema or
something occurring in the opening
moments of the film this scene sets up
the perfect introduction for one of
cinema’s most deadly assassins you can
look at it when you get in yes sir I got
it under control
strangling the sheriff’s deputy using
only your handcuffs within minutes of
arriving is not a decision most of us
can come to lightly
but the sheer flippancy that drives
Anton Chigurh his attack is enough for
us to know everything about him he’s
cold emotionless and horrific but even
if you were not wearing handcuffs we as
an audience would be none the wiser
before we uncover our top pick here are
some honorable mentions
and you might let this go I mind early
trust my rage number one wannabe see The
Silence of the Lambs
good evening Jenny the world’s most
notorious cannibal certainly has his way
when it comes to handcuffs okay dad grab
some floor same drill as before please
mm-hmm
bound by the wrists in his cells corner
is not nearly enough to cage the
sophisticated serial killer though
effortlessly picking his own locks
Hannibal Lecter’s handicap soon becomes
his weapon as he enjoys his well second
meal Sean Connery was originally
approached for the role of Lecter and
that’s not that surprising considering
the bond like escape shown here
but when all said and done there’s no
denying our appetite for this cinematic
switcheroo and we couldn’t imagine
anyone else but Anthony Hopkins in the
unforgettable oscar-winning performance
