Emanuelle Vs. Violence To Women (Joe D' Amato, 1977) The fifth "Black Emanuelle" I've watched has, potentially, the most intriguing plot line dealing as it does with the intrepid female reporter investigating the white slavery/prostitution racket which takes her from San Francisco to Rome to Macao and back to her own hometown, New York! The film is peopled with past veterans of the series which, inexplicably, play completely different roles, namely Ivan Rassimov (appearing here as a head of a United Nations committee for Third World countries!), Karin Shubert (as a feminist rival reporter) and Don Powell (as Rassimov's chauffeur). Unfortunately, as usual with this type of film (despite their being shown in the dead of night), it is heavily edited and a particularly graphic scene (described in "Stracultr) in which an Asian slave trader gets his comeuppance by being sodomized by a dog is nowhere to be seen here!! Still, a harrowing sequence late in the film when a sleazy politician tricks a couple of girls (including, naturally, Gemser and Shubert) into a midnight rendezvous under a New York bridge with a group of bums (this is the way he gets their votes, get it!) - with his high society pals giddily looking on - seems pretty much intact. The most ridiculous element of this entry - apart from Gemser's penchant to disrobe completely every time she enters a house (even in front of perfect strangers) - is her excursion to India to interview a charlatan/Guru (George Eastman made up to look considerably Christ-like!) who has found a way to prolong coitus indefinitely; of course, when Emanuelle calls him up on it, he ends up having premature ejaculation...!!

This review is from: Emanuelle Around the World (DVD)

I received this movie the other day and watched it last night. First, I rented this movie on VHS in the mid to late 80's. It was Rated X for all
the right reasons, as it did include snippets of hard core sex. This version went considerably further, although not quite as far as "Emanuelle
In America" ( Ejaculation in that one). I will not go into detail about what happens with a girl, a pitcher of milk, and a snake, nor what happens
with a girl and a german shepard dog. Needless to say, it is not for the faint of heart. Also, I guess I ought to mention the inappropriate use of
a banana. It leaves me to wonder what old Joe was smoking when he filmed the scenes with the dog and snake. As I had stated, I had seen this years ago on VHS, but that version had been discreetly edited. This one film that what you read on the cover, is what you'll get. BE WARNED. Charlie S.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hot and steamy-Laura Gemser is irresistible!, May 14, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Emanuelle Around the World [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I remember seeing this for the first time when I was about 13 and after a few times is still tantalizing. Laura Gemser embodies the spirit of what Emanuelle should be-seductive, lusty, and drop-dead beautiful. This woman should be a national treasure somewhere. She makes it very clear a few minutes into the movie that anything goes for her sexually-men or women (and she proves it, too). What makes Emanuelle so different from straight-laced sex films is the pure eroticy of the sex onscreen. It is not simply wham bam thank you maam. Rather, it is much more-sensual, realistic and true. You believe what you see because it is so real. You can't take your eyes off it. Get this film and see for yourself.

4.0 out of 5 stars For those who like it RAW, this one is the real deal, September 5, 2007

This review is from: Emanuelle Around the World (DVD)

I am immensely confident that anybody reading this is well familiar with the series of Emanuelle films (some of you may even be more familiar than I, although that would be a feat perhaps not as prestigious as one would hope). There have been enough movies of this series that they can be delineated into different categories of their own. There are the (original) Sylvia Krystle movies, there are the Laura Gemser movies, there are the Krista Allen movies (which are mainly episodic made-for-cable Cinemax softcore films, and take place in ...space), and there is the fourth category of Miscellaneous which includes the one-timers (actresses who only did the title role once, such as Monique Gabrielle, Mia Nygren, and a slew of others who appeared in Cinemax's other Emmanuelle episodic cable erotic anthology).

Of these categories, the most numerous and popular of the series were the "Black Emanuelle" films, which featured Laura Gemser in the title role. She is a fan favorite for her exquisite & exotic beauty and her disciplined dedication to the "artistic integrity of the films' aesthetic sensibilities" (she was often nude and did lots of sex scenes). Although the frustration was that most of her films were invariably toned down through editing (for video and cable broadcast release), or as a result of the trend of milder content in-exchange-for broader release, at least you always knew you got to see her naked and in at least one girl-girl amorous encounter per Emanuelle film. However, for those of you who wanted and were always hoping for more explicit content: This here film gots the raunch!

I rented it through Netflix, and although there was always the inferred understanding that these films were once X-rated back when adult content wasn't as widespread as softcore is now, this version has the real uncensored deal - unsimulated oral and penetration (not just human - ugh!) shots. Granted, that kind of content isn't everyone's cup of tea, and I generally don't prefer to see explicit sex scenes - I opt for the more sensually arousing erotic encounters between nude women. Additionally, this film also has potentionally objectionable content featuring (implied & simulated) rape and sexual assault, which may further limit the erotic value and possibly the overall appeal to some degree. Still, it is a rare and interesting find for whomever may be interested in such material.

Oh, yeah - what this film is actually about (for those who might be interested in the storyline and/or plot): our eponymous,
intrepid, and uber-sexy (yet rarely seen working) journalist/reporter Emanuelle (Laura Gemser, of course) is on a set of assignments which include a covering a tantric sex cult, and investigating a white slavery operation (which she becomes all too closely entangled with). Both of these premises conveniently offer ample opportunity for the ubiquitous sex and nudity we have come to expect (and even some bondage in this film). All that having been said, as far as Emanuelle films go, this one ranks up near the top!
