Emanuelle Around the World is Joe D'Amato's fourth Emanuelle outing starring insatiable Euro-slut Laura Gemser.
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. D'Amato, while not as vicious as Emanuelle in America or as gory as Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals, Emanuelle Around the World is definitely one of the top three Black Emanuelle films.
