Product Information

There's nothing like an Errol Flynn pirate movie, is there? He's so handsome and dashing, but he's also incredibly intimate and sensitive-in other words, he's the perfect fictional love interest! There are a million to choose from, but if you happen across Against All Flags, give it a whirl because it's pretty good.In the miniseries Horatio Hornblower (an adaptation of the book), several characters receive corporal punishments. Imperial Russia had the knout. Technically this is just "whip" in Russian, but the brutality of serf flogging with this whip lends the term infamy. Particularly notable was the "great knout," which was an especially large, heavy, hard whip designed to inflict maximum damage. Where most floggings had to get into triple-digit strokes to threaten the victim's life, the great knout was known to kill with as few as twenty strokes - allegedly by breaking the spine. Dolphin Trilogy: In Destiny and the Dolphins, the diamond thieves whip Syn to force her to tell them where the diamond mine is. 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. Ancient Hebrew law limited flogging to forty strokes. It became common practice to only ever administer thirty-nine, so as to avoid any possibility of breaking this law due to a miscount.

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. The Casual Kink version occurs in The Notorious Daughter of Fanny Hill, where High-Class Call Girl Kissey lightly flogs the masochistic Count de Sade. Hybrid × Heart Magias Academy Ataraxia: When Grabel is accused of treason, Zelshione has her suspended from the ceiling and tortures her with a whip, while using her hypnotic powers to turn the pain into pleasure to try to break her mind and turn her into a sex slave. In the light novel version, Grabel's clothes get torn to shreds by the whip. In the anime version, she is stripped naked before the whipping.Subverted by Catwoman, who never uses her trademark whip to cut people — only to disarm, ensnare, or simply frighten them. She did once thrash Batman across the face with the butt of her whip, making him bleed, but that's not really a lashing. In his one and only film done for Universal Studios Errol Flynn plays a king's spy, an officer in the British navy sent to infiltrate the pirate lair on Madagascar and put their harbor guns out of commission. The head pirate Anthony Quinn doesn't trust him as far as he can throw a yardarm. But he does interest lady pirate Maureen O'Hara who is letting her hormones get control of her judgment.

In Maiden Rose, Hasebe canes note or whips, in the OVA Klaus while he is tied to a chair during interrogation for treason. Subverted in Empowered. Emp is defeated by a villain called "The Lash", the sole remaining member of (faux) British trio Rum, Sodomy and The Lash (Rum was in rehab after his fifth drunk driving charge while Sodomy quit after becoming fed up explaining it was strictly heterosexual sodomy, leaving The Lash to do all three parts). He's about to whip her but realises they're standing in front of a fabric store, which brings up traumatic childhood memories of being bored out of his skull while his mom shopped for fabric, so he calls it a draw and leaves. In Billy Budd, Billy, on the day after his impressment, witnesses the flogging of a young novice, and is horrified. In Gabriel Garcia Marquez's Del amor y otros demonios, Father Cayetano Delaura flogs himself while in an Heroic BSoD state after he realises that Sierva Maria is getting to him. His superior finds him half-dressed, exhausted, and almost delusional after all the self-torture. Embarrassing First Name: When Hawke asks Spitfire her actual name, she makes him promise not to laugh before admitting that is Prudence.

In The Belgariad, Silk mentions that in his day, flogging was a punishment for sloppy work by students of the intelligence service's academy. Apparently it's "a very effective teaching tool", though he doesn't comment on whether or not he knows this from personal experience. It is true that level of minor crimes, for which birching was imposed as punishment, have since shot up on the Island, to pretty much the same level as mainland Britain. Arguably it was a potent deterrent.
