Super Sexy Trash
Ya know I get a lot of people familiar with my passion for exploitation asking me why I just don’t watch porn if I want to see sex but they’re completely missing the point of sexploitation. If I wanted full on single, double and triple penetration, men spitting loogies into open gulches, plastic-fantastic breasts and Viagra-fueled boners I’d just break down and purchase it…but I don’t. I want the sleazy misogyny that only sexploitation can provide! I don’t need to see a vagina splayed open like an Arby’s beef sandwich fallen from a teary-eyed child’s hand…I don’t need to see bleached buttholes or cream pies. Just gimme a Laura Gemser or Dyanne Thorne movie any day and I’m as happy as a pig in shit! Perhaps some of you out there may see that as deviant and perverted, like a peeping tom outside of an old folk’s home, but we are what we are, right?
I won’t even attempt to describe the joy I experienced upon receiving Severin Films’ Black Emanuelle’s Box film collection because it transcended words. My pleasure was so overwhelming the mailman heard my gasp a block away. Now, if I could only go back in time and un-watch this film. Emanuelle in Bangkok is a plotless, meandering heap of junksploitation. I know some of you are wondering just what the hell I expected from a Joe D’Amato exploitation film but I’m no damn newbie here folks! I’ve seen a couple Massaccesi directed Emanuelle films and most had at least a fraction of something resembling a plot! Bruno Mattei’s Women’s Prison Massacre (aka Emanuelle Escapes from Hell) had more going for it than this! Then again…Bruno Mattei’s film didn’t feature a chick shooting ping ping balls from her poon!
Super hot investigative reporter Emanuelle is back in action and on her way to Bangkok Thailand for a feature on the Emperor of Thailand. She wastes no time making her presence known and her swingin’ 70’s free-lovin’ felt as she bounces from wang to ‘gina spreading “piece” and goodwill to anybody smart enough to stare long at her from across the room. Emanuelle is swept off her feet, wined, dined, smoked out on opium and tag-teamed in the mansion of Prince Sangit (Ivan Rassimov of Man from Deep River & Jungle Holocaust) but shit hits the fans and sprays all over Emanuelle’s parade when her room is broken into and her passport and camera are stolen! With nowhere to turn she decides visit the kind, horny Prince but is instead met by a group of kind, horny mercenaries employed by the government. After a dozen men rape her, the leader and Emanuelle casually talk about the Prince and her escape.
Anyhow, Emanuelle hands out more free passes to her love tunnel and she secures herself passage out of the country and to India where she continues handing out ass left and right, introduces her boyfriend’s fiancé to a group of ‘gina hungry Bedouins and shacks up with a confused lesbian looking for meaning in an uncaring world. Man, this was truly disappointing. I mean sure I got great tits, especially Debra Berger’s, and Laura Gemser is beautiful but this just didn’t entertain me like I was hoping it would. I think the real highlight of this film was the aforementioned ping pong sequence and a mongoose killing a cobra for the benefit of tourists. Once again…Debra Berger also provided some desperately needed large breasts to the mix as most of the women in this film had what I call, “turkey tits.”
The acting was, as one would expect, just a notch above porn acting and by golly that’s no problem at all when you’re accustomed to sexploitation. I was kind of amused with some of the English dubbing but Severin Films offers the original Italian with English subtitles for those of you that dislike dubbing.
Need I even comment on the script? There was a sequence in the film in which Emanuelle tells her generous hosts in Indian about her harrowing experience in Bangkok and she states that having her camera stolen was the worst part of her ordeal! YOU’RE RAPED BY A DOZEN DIRTY GERMAN MERCENARIES AND NO DOUBT GIVEN ALL TYPES OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES AND CRITTERS AND YOU’RE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR CAMERA?!! Idiotic is an understatement. I don’t know…I should have enjoyed this much more than I did but I wanted a…a…STORY as well. *gags* That’s right…I wanted substance instead of JUST sex. Doesn’t sound like Brian, eh? Never thought you’d hear me demand a plot did ya? I’d have to say out of the Emanuelle films I’ve seen, Emanuelle in Bangkok ranks as the worst of the bunch.
so you liked it then ?
That depends on how you look at the word “liked.”
well lets see here hhhmmm….ROAST BEEF !
“LIked” as in I engaged in a little self-gratification? Yes. “Liked” as in I’d recommend it to anybody looking for good sleaze? No way.
ha ha ha you said good sleaze .
