The "Continental" hardcore version features explicit material in the following points of the film: The Guru's orgy features extras having explicit sex, as well as a body double for an explicit shots featuring Emanuelle; the rape of Cora is longer and features a close-up of an erect penis; when Emanuelle and her friends are kidnapped and raped by the man with the deformed face, the scene is substantially longer, but not explicit; the torture scene with the snake and dog is explicit, not just implied as in the theatrical cut; and the diplomatic orgy Emanuelle spies on towards the end of the film features close-ups of penetration, oral sex, and a banana being inserted into a vagina.
Also, the lesbian scene between Mary and Emanuelle is longer, but is not explicit. Getting Started Contributor Zone ». Edit page. Top Gap. See more gaps ». Create a list ». See all related lists ».

Give it a look. Taking a ride in Blaxploitation's success, Joe D'Amato came with a new version of endless Emanuelle, a black one, Laura Gemser is almost perfect for the role, a little skinny to my taste but works, not so voluptuous like your partnership Karin Schubert, actually this movie has an original and fresh idea about Emanuelle whereabouts, she moves around the world as suggest the title, some scenes are too hard for a soft porn imply, boring certainly not!!!
Why violence against women? This movie recently appeared in the "Black Emanuelle's Box Set" with two other movies, one of which was significantly better "Sister Emanuelle" and the other slightly worse "Emanuelle in Bangkok".
Emanuelle Laura Gemser is a once again a "world-famous photojournalist" who is much more intrepid than intelligent when we first see her she is saving air fare to San Francisco by having sex with a long-haul furniture trucker--I don't know why she didn't just have sex with a pilot.
She is sent to India by her publisher where she discredits a local sex guru--by having sex with him, of course. Encouraged by an old friend Karin Schubert and a young girl Briget Petronnio who she meets and has lesbian sex with in India, she decides to investigate a white slavery ring, naturally by getting HERSELF kidnapped, along with a couple naive white girls, in Rome with only a shy, virginal guy she briefly flirted with as back-up. Obviously, this film is not very realistic.
International sex slave rings do not generally trade in pretty middle-class white girls snatched right off the street while touring Rome. This movie would be pretty offensive if it WAS realistic though since it is obviously far more interested in exploiting this subject than exposing it. Still even these scenes look more like rough consensual sex than anything since the women never seem to physically or mentally traumatized by it, but remain as pretty and chirpy as ever afterward.
The female leads are all very attractive. Petronnio would later suffer far worse abuse in Ruggiero Deodata' "House at the Edge of the Park" while Schubert probably suffered worse in real-life after becoming a hardcore actress.
Laura Gemser, as usual, manages to float effortlessly above whatever sleaze she is cast in. At times this movie seems almost feminist in a strange way, much more so than the similar American "Ginger" series with Cheri Caffaro, largely because of the innate classiness of Gemser that makes her "degradation"-proof even to the likes of Joe D'Amato. As for the movie itself, it's not good and I don't want to morally defend it, but it isn't really more than a, for lack of a better word, "naked" version of the old Hollywood ploy of exploiting lurid subject matter while pretending to condemn it.
Nodriesrespect 5 March Having said thanks to the lorry driver US adult superstar Paul Thomas who picked her up naked in San Francisco harbor in her customary fashion, she bumps into old friend and colleague Cora Norman German nudie starlet and later middle-aged Queen Mum of Spaghetti Hardcore Karin Schubert who has found a lead to the gang's whereabouts in Rome.
This makes for the best and funniest part of the movie as bored housewives from all over the world flock to the temple to experience the guru's heavily hyped "prolonged orgasm" techniques. Naturally, the guy turns out to be a fraud as Emanuelle soon learns when she makes love to him and he turns out to be a touch, well, premature! In Rome, Cora gets beaten up and raped as her investigations start to turn up a bit too much in the way of damaging information as Emanuelle allows herself to be picked up by a pair of local lover boys who deliver her to the lair of the evildoers.
Hong Kong and wicked Chinamen are next on the agenda, including some spectacularly tasteless but hilarious business involving strapped down naked women with various animal species, fortunately with appropriate comeuppance for their tormentor, before we're off again to downtown Teheran for sheiks and harems.
Capturing their target at this last stop, Emanuelle and Cora learn that women's rights are still trampled on their N. Even though most of the film's gorgeous female cast gets roughed up at some point, Massaccesi manages to keep the tone surprisingly light, helped by the furious pace with which he rushes through the often nonsensical proceedings, making this the cinematic equivalent of the sleazy adult comics that were quite popular at the time, in their own way unassuming precursors to much of today's manga output.
Sex is quite strong for soft core with fleeting hardcore footage spicing up the orgy scenes, none of it involving Gemser though who acts as haughtily impervious to the tawdry shenanigans as ever, adding an arbitrary touch of class in the process. Italian exploitation veteran Ivan Rassimov is pretty much wasted as diplomat and do-gooder Malcolm Robertson who falls in love with our flighty heroine but never manages to get into her pants on those rare occasions she's actually wearing them!
So let me leave you with the lyrics to the unforgettable resistance is futile theme song, all together now : "Let's take a picture of love! Falconeer 4 August Of all the films in this long running series, THIS movie is truly the "jewel in the crown. Laura Gemser, in the title role, traipses from one continent to the next, often with the blonde Karin Schubert by her side, as they pursue white slavers and attempt to bring them down.
It's like an X rated "Charlie's Angels at times, and Schubert creates a memorable "tough girl" character in Cora. The thing that makes this entry in the series, the most controversial, is the astounding level of sexualized violence.
This movie must have the most rape scenes of ANY movie in history. And each one is more horrific than the last. By the time the action moves to Hong Kong the rapes begin to involve German Shepards and snakes. Obviously this one is not for all tastes, but it really is a powerful film that has not only retained the ability to shock, but in this PC climate, it is even more shocking than ever.
The strange thing is, there is so much beauty mixed in with the ugly violence; the travelogue style of the film is so impressive, taking the audience on a World tour of some of the most beautiful, exotic and obscure places on the planet. And of course the incomparable, exotic beauty of it's heroine, Laura Gemser, makes anything easier to endure. And look for the gorgeous Brigitte Petronio in her cameo appearance, playing agirl hading out in hotel rooms in India.
The love scene between her and Gemser is subime! A million times sexier than some ugly hardcore footage. Another remarkable thing about "Emanuelle Around the World," is the impressive way it walks the fine line between soft-core and hard-core territory.
Thankfully scenes of close-up penetration and ejaculation shots are left out, as that would immediately compromise the film, and make it impossible to take seriously. Take away the few minutes of ugly, poorly shot hardcore and that 45 second snuff footage at the end, you are left with a boring, lackluster film, which is surprisingly light stuff, almost comical for most of it's runtime.
Not so with "Around the World,' which retains a dark, violent tone throughout. For fans of true grindhouse cinema, the uncut version of "Emanuelle Around the World" is the Holy Grail of 70's shock cinema.. The series never reached these heights again. The director might find himself in prison. Emanuelle Around the World seems to be a direct sequel to D'Amato and Gemser's most notorious collaboration, Emanuelle in America, with Emanuelle returning from the paradise island she escaped to at the end of that film and going on, believe it or not, an even more extraordinary adventure.
The film begins with her making love on a Louis VVI bed, but this luxurious piece of furniture is in the back of a removals van in which Emanuelle is hitching a lift from the hunky driver. There's something curiously postmodern about the image of the antique being transported in a large van across contemporary America, and the scene sets in motion a series of dizzying and equally postmodern conundrums in the shape of the many adventures of our photo-journalist heroine.
The trucker deposits Emanuelle at a luxury hotel in San Francisco, and in the lobby we meet a different black Emanuelle than we have seen before — she's impatient and rude to the concierge, and we wonder why our normally sanguine and affect-less heroine is on such a short fuse.
She meets a fellow journalist, the feminist Cora Norman, and finds out that her friend is onto a story about female exploitation. A sexual encounter with a UN envoy persuades Emanuelle that her work ought to have a more political edge, and her experiences during her next job — exposing a phony love guru in India — push her into activism, but not before she has re-established herself as part of the consumer West by doing a pile of shopping.
The sequence with the guru is a remarkable set piece. Filmed in a Hindu temple, the avatar of love instructs his disciples in delayed orgasm building towards spiritual enlightenment, as D'Amato films various God's eye views of the revellers interrupted and upwards genuflections at the guru by more down-to-earth sceptical shots.
Emanuelle, surprisingly for a woman who has always preached free love, sees how nonspiritual the guru's message really is — surely he'd spend more time helping the poor and less time improving the love-lives of vain wealthy Westerners if he really had a hot line to god?
This disillusion with hedonism sends Emanuelle to Rome, where she teams up with Cora to expose a gang who have been kidnapping and trafficking women as sex slaves to the Middle East.
Emanuelle goes undercover and we see two young men pick her and two other young women up, sell them to an older man at a restaurant who in turn sells them at a higher price to another man. Pasolini couldn't have given us a more striking illustration of human beings reduced to things, commodities. At the halfway house, as they wait to be sent outside of Europe, the women are raped by a hideous man whose face is terribly scarred, making him look like a demon.
In the meantime, Cora is being raped by a gang of hoods as punishment for her investigations and a young man who is on Emanuelle's side finds where our heroine is being held and phones the police. This is striking because, for the first time in a D"Amato Black Emanuelle film we see a sequence which does not involve Emanuelle, as if to say that once activism and collective responsibility has come into play, the protagonist centred dramaturgy won't do. Even more strikingly, the rescue of Emanuelle and the girls happens between scenes.
We cut straight from the demon's pillage to Emanuelle emerging from the police station with her young ally. They then go to a boat his father owns and end up hiding and bonking in a closet, but there's something curiously inappropriate at this return to generic soft-core adventures after the sexual violence we've been witness to.
The cramped condition of the lovemaking seems to mirror D'Amato's need to break free from the conventions of the genre. The film cuts from the US to India to Italy to China to the Middle East in the blink of an eye, and the point seems to be that the same patriarchal attitude treats women as chattels and sexual slaves no matter where on earth you go.
Along the way, monsters and villainy including enforced bestiality more at home in the pages of de Sade than in harmless erotica are encountered. Finally, we return to the US where a Senator sets up a beauty pageant queen to be raped by some down-and-outs for the entertainment of various rich slime-balls. Things get out of hand, the wealthy disappear and Emanuelle is degraded by being forced to fellate a bum. Women are mere objects to be used for the amusement of the rich or thrown as pornographic entertainment to the powerless.
We as an audience are left with a very foul taste in our mouths. D"Amato has refused to give his audience what they expect from a soft-core frolic — is an artist painting a picture of exploitation rather than a mere exploitation filmmaker? Or an extraordinary and complex mixture of both.
IndustriousAngel 17 February Firstly because it's sexy okay, most everything with Gemser in it is. Secondly, because it's shot beautifully - the temple itself as well as the proceedings. But what I liked most was the excellent sense of humour, with real gags - something not frequent in "erotic" movies and mostly absent in porn. I don't want to spoil anything here but their encounter and its aftermath form one of the funnier moments in film history and would fit equally well in a Monty Python movie.
Usually with this kind of movies you expect to laugh out because it's "so bad it's funny" - in this case, it's the real thing.
Highly recommended for this scene alone; everything else is more or less the usual "Black Emanuelle" stuff plus some rather violent scenes fitting the sex trade theme but definitely not erotic. A Nice Sleazy Effort from Mr. D'amato Rapeman13 14 December In this one Emanuelle is sent to India to do a story on a Guru who has supposedly discovered the ultimate climax, although once there Emanuelle is disappointed to find him to be a money-hungry con-artist. So, unsatisfied with her Guru story, she joins forces with her reporter pal Cora Norman who is doing a story on violence against woman.
Cora has been tracking a white slavery operation and Emanuelle is keen to help her uncover the people behind it. The pair go to France and Hong Kong along the way taking down smaller slavery rings until they eventually end up in the Middle East where they uncover the heart of the operation and successfully close it down.
Emanuelle Around the World was made the same year as Emanuelle in America and it shows. The brutal snuff-oriented plot of Emanuelle in America is traded in for a slightly less brutal white slave plot here that offers plenty of excuses for wanton sex and violence.
Being a Joe D'Amato film centred around an anti-violence against women plot, you just know you're gonna see some gratuitous violence against women! We have gang-rape, non-graphic forced bestiality, blowjob at gunpoint, murder, and a beauty queen being degraded by some US Senators then raped by a group of vagrants.
Sadly the version reviewed here is the softcore edit, the XXX cut has around 15 extra minutes of hardcore action and longer, more explicit bestiality scenes. All in all a nice sleazy effort from Mr. Emanuelle In America Lite dogcow 31 January Similar to Emanuelle in America we have Emanuelle traversing the globe discovering sex scandals.
The set peices range from fairly innocent romp in the back of a moving truck to rape and beastality implied not explicit.
Of course it all remains fairly softcore. D'Amato handles the cinematography masterfully, its easy to see why he's so at home in adult films. Hes a master at creating suspenceful erotic sex scenes. Watch for ol Joe himself in a quick cameo near the end of the film hes the man being arrested at the very end. The fearless reporter Emanuelle takes on a sex guru in India, Middle Eastern slave traders, and scummy politicians in America.
As with any D'Amato film there are various scenes meant to shock the daylights outta the viewer: the most shocking scene involves a woman having sex with a German shepherd. Still they don't make 'em like this anymore, and that is probably a good thing. This review is based on the European hardcore version. These movies don't make any sense! This is just a softcore porno movie with fluff surrounding it and it just doen't work at all. Emanuelle frees sex slaves Katy 14 April Emanuelle is now a newspaper reporter who travels around the world in search of a story about "violence to women".
It starts off in San Francisco, where she meets a guru leader of a religious sex cult. We see the inside of a large church-like rotunda covered with colorful, "Indian" tapestries. The members of the cult are arranged in pairs, seated on pillows, all over the floor.
It's sort of unclear, but it seems that this is one of the places where sex slaves are collected. There are really five mini-plots associated with each of these places. It's almost episodic.
