AGAINST ALL FLAGS

Product Information

In Starship Troopers, Rico is subject to "administrative punishment" after he bungles a live-fire training exercise, resulting in the death of another cadet. This consists of being strung up and whipped ten times. Dialog early in the movie indicates this is relatively standard fare, with Rico's father indicating he'd rather be lashed in the public square rather than have Rico join the MI. A Night at the Opera: Near the beginning, Lassparri chases Tomasso and hits him with a cat-o'-nine-tails after catching him in his dressing room trying on his costume. Surprisingly, despite being a Marx Brothers film, it's not Played for Laughs. Even more limiting, the courts would have a physician examine the recipient to estimate how many strokes he could survive - often meaning they weren't even prescribed the full 39. And he would be reexamined after every three strokes to make sure he could survive the next three. Accidentally killing someone who didn't deserve it was Serious Business. In Mr. Revere and I, the redcoat Giles Treadwell deserts the English army after receiving 25 lashes because he didn't salute Sir Cedric the right way. Lupin III: The Secret of Twilight Gemini: Sadachiyo subjects Fujiko to this type of torture, after she's caught snooping around Jean Pierre's hideout.

In the novel Night, by Elie Wiesel, which is the autobiographical story of the author's time in a concentration camp when he was young, he is whipped for inadvertently seeing one of the officers seeing a woman and preparing to have sex with her.In Maiden Rose, Hasebe canes note or whips, in the OVA Klaus while he is tied to a chair during interrogation for treason. In the Gaunt's Ghosts novel The Guns of Tanith, Lijah "That Fething Bastard" Cuu gets flogged for looting. This ends... badly. In the episode " The Very Long Night of Londo Mollari", Londo experiences a mental re-creation of G'Kar's whipping — only this time Londo is being whipped and G'Kar is calling out the strokes, and the objective is to get Londo to say he's sorry. It's all happening inside Londo's mind, but it's strongly implied that if the fortieth stroke falls, it will kill him for real. Sherman later wrote that Flynn was unsure about the scene where he fenced against a woman. He said "I'm supposed to be the bravest guy on screen? How could I fight a woman?" Sherman had worked with O'Hara before and assured him she was capable of holding her own "with a sword, a gun or her fists if need be" and warned Flynn he needed to be in shape. [12] Shooting [ edit ] Dolphin Trilogy: In Destiny and the Dolphins, the diamond thieves whip Syn to force her to tell them where the diamond mine is.

The entire production looks like it was shot inside a studio, except for a scene near the beginning where Flynn is so badly sunburned he must have spent the previous weekend on his own boat sailing around Catalina Island. And near the end where it probably actually was filmed on Catalina. Or maybe Coronado. A few Shi'a Muslims whip themselves as part of the annual period of mourning for the first ten days of the Muslim year, commemorating the martyrdom of their Third Imam, Husayn ibn Ali , at the Battle of Karbala in Iraq (marked by the "festival" of Ashura). A few men, not believing that self-flagellation is badass enough to commemorate Husayn, cut their foreheads with swords.

Rate And Review

Daguerre attempts to sentence Robert Hode to this in Robin Hood (1991). Hode's refusal to accept this punishment and his subsequent insulting of Daguerre result in his being outlawed. But as I said Errol Flynn is not the only thing which for me is wrong with "Against All Flags" and the over the top colourful nature of the outfits makes it again feel like it is desperately hanging on to the past and has gone over the top to do so almost achieving the look of a pantomime. Look there is no denying that Maureen O'Hara's costumes are certainly eye catching but as a collective with all the colourful outfits than the other characters wear it is all too much and makes it feel forced and amusingly too pristine with crisp white shirts and so on.

In 2011, a 14-year-old Bangladeshi girl died, possibly lashed to death , when a self-appointed Sharia court sentenced her to 80 lashes for "having an affair" note no mention is made of whether she consented, and regardless this would have been considered statutory rape in most parts of the world with a married cousin. Bangladesh being a reasonably civilized Muslim country (the practice of flogging as punishment had been banned in no uncertain terms the previous year, following national consensus) those responsible—including the cleric who issued the ruling—were promptly arrested and tried for murder. The Digimon Emperor tortured Takeru with his whip in the episode "The Darkness Before Dawn" of Digimon Adventure 02. Takeru stopped the whipping by catching the end of the whip with his bare hand. In the Sharpe series, Sergeant Obadiah Hakeswill had Sharpe flogged while the latter was still a private in India. This was only one of the reasons that Sharpe hated Hakeswill and considered the man his Arch-Nemesis, and why he never has one of his own men flogged once he becomes an officer. Agonizers and the Agony Booth seem to have taken the physical place of the lash in the Mirror Universe, though their purpose remains in place. In the Star Trek: Enterprise episode " In a Mirror, Darkly", Imperial Captain Forrest even remarks that while he can understand the Booth's usefulness, there's still something to be said for a good old-fashioned flogging.Flogging occurs in both versions of Mutiny on the Bounty, as well as a third version of the story, The Bounty. In Fairy Tail, Erza Scarlet gets stripped naked, whipped, and slashed all over when she's captured by Tartarus.

There is the 'mandatory' discovery of Flynn's true identity, O'Hara's betrayal to rescue him, and O'Hara and Kelly both held as hostage aboard Quinn's ship, leading up, of course, to a 'by-the-numbers' final swordfight between Flynn and Quinn. Unfortunately, in filming the final duel, Flynn fell, breaking his leg, and the production was halted until the aging actor could heal (Universal, ever conscious of budget, filmed YANKEE BUCCANEER, with Jeff Chandler, on the Flynn sets, as he recuperated). The New York Times said Flynn "is a singular man among men and Maureen O'Hara... who is beautiful putty in his hands." [24]Disney's The Swamp Fox has a scene of this in the episode "Tory Vengeance". Marion's nephew, "Young" Gabe Marion, is flogged by Col. Townes in an attempt to force him to disclose the location of Marion's base. Marion storms the place with his brigade and rescues Gabe, only for the boy to be shot moments after he's freed from the ropes. David Feintuch's Seafort Saga series about the damned Captain Nicholas Seafort has constant floggings of the adolescent cadets and midshipmen - pretty expected since though it is a story about interstellar space vessels, it is based on "Hornblower" and other Napoleonic sea tales. In Fractured Stars, prisoners on Frost Moon 3 are punished with an e-whip, a lightning-like cord of energy that leaves deep burn marks. Against All Flags is a 1952 American pirate film directed by George Sherman and Douglas Sirk and starring Errol Flynn as Brian Hawke, Maureen O'Hara as Prudence "Spitfire" Stevens and Anthony Quinn as Roc Brasiliano.
