"JAW DROPPING!"

Product Description

Contains Footage Of Extreme Sexuality Never Before Seen In America!

In one of the most infamous sex & sleaze sensations of the `70s, crusading journalist Emanuelle (the stunning Laura Gemser) goes all the way - and beyond - on a taboo-busting investigation into violence against women. This XXX Continental Edition contains scenes considered too graphic for sensitive audiences, including the all-woman Kama Sutra academy, the gang rape of Emanuelle's wanton colleague (Euro-starlet-turned-porno-queen Karin Schubert of CHRISTINA and BLACK VENUS), torrid lesbian liaisons, inappropriate use of exotic pets, the climactic defilement of a beauty queen by depraved U.S. Senators, and much more!

Brigitte Petronio (HOUSE ON THE EDGE OF THE PARK), Ivan Rassimov (THE SEXORCIST), and American porn legend Paul Thomas (INSATIABLE, THE ECSTASY GIRLS) co-star in this still-controversial shocker - also known as THE DEGRADATION OF EMANUELLE - from Joe D'Amato, the notorious director of EMANUELLE IN AMERICA and PORNO HOLOCAUST.

4.0 out of 5 stars Joe D'Amato Gone Wild, April 24, 2007

Amazon Verified Purchase

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.

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

By	B. Etnyre "roguemissive" (SugarLand, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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!
