Lady Jane

[RG_]

I'll get the ball rolling in this forum by throwing out a title. To date, probably my favorite mainstream spanking scene is that of Jane, in the movie Lady Jane. The movie was about Lady Jane Grey who was, due to political machinations, was elevated to the throne of England in the 1500's. I won't go into the details of the affair here, but she only reigned for nine days and is known to history as the "Nine Days Queen." She was deposed, imprisoned in the Tower of London, and was finally executed at the age of 16. (She was 15 years of age while Queen.)

In the story leading up to her marriage to Guildford Dudley and ascension to the throne, Jane objects to the arranged (and from her view, forced) marriage to Dudley. When she is defiant with her parents, she is escorted to an upper room where she is given a very formal chastisement. In the room a stool with high arms is set before her, and then the men who set the stool in place are dismissed from the room, leaving only her mother and her female attendants. Jane then kneels and lays across the seat of the stool, and two female attendants, one on each side, lift the back of her dress and lay it on her back. Another then hands her mother a bundle of tied birch switches, who then uses applies it to Jane's apparently bare bottom. The view is shown from the front, and Jane can be seen wincing with the strokes. The scene then fades to the outside of the castle/manor house, showing a boat making its way on the river as the strokes can still be heard in the background.

It's a great domestic/parental scene, done with much ceremony, in a beautiful period setting and costumes.

RG,

You are so right about "Lady Jane." Helena Bonham Carter I do believe.

One of my favorites is a mainstream movie called "Tank" from that same time period. A small town sheriff enters the mobile home that Jennilee Harrison lives in. She was one of the replacements for Suzanne Somers on "Three's Company." Anyway, he makes her pull everything down and get a spanking with his belt. His goofball deputy is behind him watching the action and enjoying it. Unfortunately, we don't get to see her butt (which was pretty cute as I recall), but it's still a cool scene.

I Believe I was about 12 or 13 when I saw that scene in Tank. I had conflicting emotions when I was watching because I remember my heart racing during that scene but I didn't understand quite why. I had a mixture of fear and excitement and tons of adrenaline. That's the best I can describe it(if you understand that you probably belong here). I found myself waiting until my parents were at work so I could play that videotape over and over. I would say that when I realized I like what I saw...

Gary,

That was, indeed, Helena Bonham Carter. In getting carried away with describing the scene, I failed to mention the actress. I also agree that Tank is a great scene. I tend to very much favor domestic-type scenes that are not over-the-top abusive, i.e. a good spanking for discipline, and both of those--Lady Jane and Tank--are excellent scenes in that genre. I used to have a ton of movies which featured scenes that I like but due to my ex and I splitting a few years ago they no longer dwell in my house.

Speaking of Tank in particular, it's still easily available for purchase and at a very cheap price. I've seen it in the big Wal-Mart DVD bins, the 2-for-$5 variety, for the last two or three years. Don't know how long that will last but I would encourage anyone who likes this kind of stuff to go and shuffle through if you haven't already, and score that scene.

Thanks for the tip on the DVD at Wal-Mart. I'll certainly look for that. I'm in Wal-Mart more than I care to admit.

A movie that a customer of ours tipped me off to awhile back is "Kentucky Woman," with Cheryl Ladd getting a spanking from some miners. It was a made-for-TV movie and I've never seen it. Anyone have a take on that one?

Hey Yellow,

Welcome aboard. We're glad to have you!

Gee, am I sure behind on my movie watching. Guess a trip to Walmart is in order.

I've seen this one, too.

Speaking on a personal basis only, it was not my cup of tea. It was done in the mines, was an "initiation" to the group, was in a darkened setting, she was filthy with coal dust, and was cast in a victim role.

Of course, it *was* Cherly Ladd. There's certainly value in that.

And I realize that in our spanking world that tastes run a wide gamut. So it might be received by others very well. She was standing up, leaning over, it was done as a paddling, so to speak, and it was more than one swat. I suppose one just has to watch it to judge.

Where can I get a copy of Lady Jane Gray?
Kentucky woman, I saw that and enjoyed it. I agree it would have been better without all the grease and a little more light and she should have been further bent over. It was Cheryl Ladd I taped that and watched several times.

Hey there luv2spankher, welcome in.

It's called "Lady Jane" and I think it's been available on DVD for awhile now. Lady Jane Grey is with the X-Men, I do believe.

I agree with RG about certain scenes tripping triggers. We've been doing our sites for long enough now for me to know that many different things get people going. The "Lady Jane" scene and the "Tank" scene are examples of 2 that do it for me. Based on what you guys are saying, I'd bet the Cheryl Ladd thing would be a disappointment. But I'm with you, Cheryl Ladd alone is worth seeing. She was a cutie in her day.
