phibes012000 Typical Joe D'Amato/Laura Gemser Emanuelle sexcapade takes place - you guessed it - all over the world. 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. Yuck!! Still they don't make 'em like this anymore, and that is probably a good thing. Very attractively photographed in New York City and San Francisco. Not as shocking as Emanuelle in America but better than Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals. This review is based on the European hardcore version. Released in the United States by the Jerry Gross Organization.

Michael_Elliott Emanuelle Around the World (1977) Soft version * 1/2 (out of 4) Joe D'Amato and Laura Gemser made this flick right over the notorious Emanuelle in America and really took a step back content wise. In the film Emanuelle travels around the world learning different sexual things while sleeping with as many people as possible. The company that released this film released a soft version and a XXX version. This is the soft version and it certainly is soft; meaning, there's very little nudity, which is somewhat shocking considering the subject matter. Not to mention the fact that the previous film went as far as to show a woman stroking a horse!!! I've heard the XXX version of this features some pretty wild stuff but I'll get to it later. Back to this version, it's pretty dull from start to finish, although there's a really bizarre moment with George Eastman (Rabid Dogs, Erotic Nights of the Living Dead) playing a character dressed up as Jesus. He bangs Emanuelle only to have her tell him that he came too quickly. I guess D'Amato isn't a fan of Jesus? The sex scenes aren't erotic, which is the main downfall here.Emanuelle Around the World (1977) XXX version * 1/2 (out of 4)Alternate version of Joe D'Amato's Emanuelle film isn't any better or worse than the soft version I watched a few weeks ago. In the previous review I mentioned that the film's sexual content was rather low even for a softcore film but here's a more extreme version, which features three different scenes. The two orgy sequences are shown with some hardcore scenes here, which isn't anything new. The next added footage serves for the more shocking nature, which was explored in the previous film Emanuelle in America. There's a scene where two girls are sexually tortured with a snake and a German shepard. In the softcore version this was just hinted at but here we get to see a lot more action, which should turn anyone's stomach.

sixstringscouser These movies don't make any sense! The dubbed English accents over french/German/Spanish or whatever is so lame! This is just a softcore porno movie with fluff surrounding it and it just doen't work at all. NONE OF 'EM WORKED!

Katy-13 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. Then suddenly, Emanuelle is off to Rome where she uncovers another sex slave operation, then Hong Kong, the Middle East, and finally New York. There are really five mini-plots associated with each of these places. It's almost episodic. In comparison with "Black Emanuelle", the movie seems less focused on the characters and more interested in illustrating the plot. It can be less engaging because of this. Still, it's probably one of the better in the series (much better than "Black E, White E/aka Emanuelle in Egypt") and full of cheap, exploitive thrills!
