Smut King Joe D'Amato does it again!!! Smokin' hot exotic beauty, Laura Gemser, plays a globetrotting nympho journalist in this incredible installment of the Emanuelle films. This one has everything - sleazy sex and lesbianism, insanely cheesy music and dialogue, simulated snuff footage, even some beastiality for you true sickos out there - it really doesn't get much better than this. EMANUELLE IN America should be THE sleaze standard that all other exploitation films aim to match.
Emanuelle begins her adventures by going "undercover" (pun absolutely intended...) and infiltrating a harem run by a wealthy businessman. Lots of tits and ass ensue, including several soft-core lesbo scenes. The Boss is a man of pretty discriminating tastes as we're treated to the first real "shock" of the film - and a doozy it is - a voyeuristic "peep" at a chick graphically jerking off a horse named Pedro!!! Inside the harem, our heroine meets an Italian aristocrat and decides to use him as her next journalistic feature. After escaping the harem, Emanuelle goes to visit this refined gent, just to find that he too is a pervert with a pension for counterfeit artwork and orgy dinner parties. This scene gives us an opportunity to view our first "hard-core" action of the film, a pretty protracted blow-job scene. While at the party, our hardworking hottie learns of a secret brothel where women can indulge in any freakish fantasy...for a price. Of course Emanuelle smells another juicy scoop, so off to the meat-farm it is. There we get a few actual hard-core porn scenes, including a little Tarzan and Jane role-playing, and some 2-on-1 interracial action for one lucky young lady. While peeping in on the going's on at the brothel, Emanuelle comes across a room where a lady is getting boned while she's watching some snuff material on a projector. This piques our randy reporter's interest and she heads back to headquarters to consult her boss about tracking down some more snuff films for an exclusive story. Her boss gives Emanuelle a guy's name who's known to run in those circles, and our sexy scribe does what she does best - seduces this poor joker into giving her the info she wants. This scene has some pretty rough simulated snuff material in it, including: hot-tar dildo force-feeding, vaginal hook impalement, and some pretty graphic forced breast reduction. Emanuelle takes her findings back to her boss who tells her the material can never be released due to it's super-controversial nature. Peeved about the cover-up, Emanuelle heads to the jungle with her sometimes boyfriend Bill for some R&R - this scene feels pretty out of place and nothing of any real note goes on here - and that's about it.
There are definitely some strange continuity faults with this film - such as the fact that all of the sex scenes in the beginning of the film are pretty light and standard 70's soft-core (with the exception of the stallion hand-job...), and then towards the middle and end, all the sudden we're treated to some pretty hardcore full on penetration sex action. Also the violence at the end is totally out of place with the rest of the film - but honestly, I find these quirks kind of endearing and actually help the overall "build-up" of the film. I also liked how tips from one undercover investigation made a smooth segue into the next investigation. My only real gripe is that the insanely hot Gemser is not shown in any of the hard-core sex scenes...this would have been a true "plearsure" and would have shot this film up to an 11. Personally I loved this film and hold it at the very top of the 70's exploitation genre out of all of the films of this type that I've seen so far. A definite must-see for fans of extreme sleaze - Highly recommended - 9/10
