Emanuelle Around the World

1977

Laura Gemser returns as the globe-trotting photojournalist Emanuelle in this sequel directed by Joe D'Amato. Emanuelle does some serious traveling in this film, taking her from San Francisco, to New York, Hong Kong, India, and even Iran! The plot centers around Emanuelle uncovering a ring of human traffickers that involves very prominent individuals worldwide. Black Emanuelle veterans Karin Schubert and Ivan Rassimov return in supporting roles, as does George Eastman (as an Indian guru!). Noticeable is the complete absence of Gabriele Tinti. While not as extreme as Emanuelle in America, the uncut version features numerous scenes of rape and simulated bestiality. Worth a view just for the first half (which is quintessential Black Emanuelle), even though the rest might be a little rough for most viewers.
