3.0 out of 5 stars Thoughts on the Unrated VHS, March 30, 2000

By A Customer

Amazon Verified Purchase

To start with, I never saw the Cinemax clips, so I don't know how much is present or not present in the unrated VHS video. However, I did watch the DVD (which is the R-rated version despite Amazon's mistake) and the difference between the two versions is pretty substantial.

Simple things, like full body shots, hints of actual (gasp!) penetration, etc. find their way back into the unrated version. I'm not sure why they were cut in the first place as, even at its most explicit, the unrated version is in no way 'hardcore.'

So, if you are going to buy this movie, I would definitely suggest the unrated VHS, rather than the rated VHS or DVD. It's up to you to decide whether or not to shell out ~$50 for it.

For my part, I would have been much happier if Krista Allen had more of a role: we see more of her having sex during the opening credits than we do throughout the movie, thanks to the convenient plot device of having her change bodies with annoying frequency. Seems to me that maybe Ms. Allen declined to do some of the scenes, or perhaps the studio only had her on contract for a given amount of footage. Regardless, she outshines all of the other women put together, and it would have been nice to have the title character be a little bit more involved in her own movie.

Hope this is of some help...

P.S. Does anyone know if this is the first in a series of new Emanuelle films? As mentioned earlier, almost half of the opening credits showed Krista Allen and the lead male doing things which never occur during this movie.

I'm not sure if they were moments left on the cutting room floor, if they were from an earlier Emanuelle, or if they are scenes which will be released in another edition.

Any info would be appreciated.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not What I Thought It Was, April 7, 2000

By 

Christopher Keeley (San Antonio, Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Emmanuelle in Space: First Contact (DVD)

Ok, I found out the hard way, but I'm glad I did and now I can move on with my life. Being in love with Krista Allen as I am, I finally saw Emmanuelle in Space on Cinemax, a few of the episodes anyway. So when I found out that First Contact was coming out on DVD, I got it of course. It turns out that this movie is the movie that the Cinemax series is based upon, sort of a "pilot" if you will. Therefore, all of the scenes within the opening credits are from the Emmanuelle in Space series. I hoped the DVD was going to show the best scenes from the series, but I was disappointed. If that is what you want, subscribe to Cinemax. Krista is worth it, because she is extremely nude, plus she has several encounters with other beautiful women. First Contact gets 2 stars instead of 1 because Krista does have one decent love scene in it. I wouldn't suggest purchasing this, guys. Hopefully, the Emmanuelle in Space series will be released in the future. Wait for that! Late!

1.0 out of 5 stars Write The Studio, March 11, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Emmanuelle in Space: First Contact (DVD)

Like every one else, I am very ticked that the Unrated version on the DVD is infact a hacked up rated R version. So I am writing to the studio to find out if the Dvds were not supposed to be unrated or if the R rated version was put on by mistake. If anyone wants to write them here's the address: Concorde-New Horizons 11600 San Vicente Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90049
