Intrepid and sexually voracious photojournalist Emanuelle (the insanely luscious and captivating Laura Gemser) takes on a dangerous assignment concerning violence against women in various male-dominated societies. During her investigation Emanuelle uncovers a sordid underworld that includes a white slavery ring, prostitution, a bogus Indian sex cult, bondage, lesbianism, degenerate American politicians, vicious rapists, and even a little bestiality. Director Joe D'Amato, working from a scrupulously kinky and depraved script by Maria Pia Fusco and Gianfranco Clerici, delivers oodles of tasty female nudity and scorching hot soft-core sex set pieces while relating the blithely trashy story at a snappy pace and maintaining a suitably seamy tone throughout. This picture further benefits from a sturdy cast of reliable Italian exploitation cinema regulars: Voluptuous blonde bombshell Karin Schubert as Emanuelle's gutsy reporter rival Cora Norman, Ivan Rassimov as the dashing and helpful Dr. Malcolm Robertson, George Eastman as smarmy and lecherous charlatan Guru Shanti, and the fetching Brigitte Petronio as the perky'n'pretty Mary. Legendary porn stud Paul Thomas pops up in a quick bit as a randy truck driver. The exotic globe-trotting locations add an extra tart'n'tangy flavor. Nico Fidenco's funky throbbing score does the get-down groovy pulsating trick. D'Amato's glossy cinematography provides a pleasing polished sheen. Well worth seeing for Emanuelle fans.

This film is amazing. Its the third film in Joe D'Amato's black Emanuelle series. Its not as violent as Emanuelle in America, but it comes pretty close. Emanuelle played by the hot Laura Gemser arrives in India to find out about George Eastman who plays an Indian Guru, who knows the prolong orgasm, after seeing thats its all fake, she soon has sex with him and leaves. She then heads to America and meets up with Cora Norman and both of them go on the trail of a woman smuggling ring...Its got an all star cast. Laura Gemser, George Eastman, and Joe D'Amato has a cameo! Its got a score by Nico Fidenco and the script was written by Giannfranco Clerci, who wrote house on the edge of the park, Nazi love camp 27 and blazing magnums. Its the Italian gone with the wind! Its quiet violent, there are six rapes, hardcore sex, ugly old woman sex, lesbianism, banana's shoved up women, as well as dildo's in a kuma sautra acamedy. It also features too nasty scenes of two poor women having sex with a snake and a dog, that was pretty bad. The camera-work and soundtrack was excellent and the acting was decent, its a must see for fans of D'Amato, Black Emanuelle and Exploitation in general.

The third (I think) installment in the Italian Emanuelle series starring the unearthly beautiful Laura Gemser, and simultaneously the final one that is somewhat classy and stylish. After this entry, the franchise became the prototype of total sleaze & obscenity with sex-insatiable Emanuelle invading women prisons and even a tribe of Amazonian cannibals. "The Degradation of Emanuelle" even ranks among Joe D'Amato's best films, since the screenplay is adequately written for a change and the erotic scenes are tasteful and tempting. After a brief encounter with the man of her life – a congressman for the United Nations – sleaze reporter Emanuelle wants to alter her writing style and battle the oppression of women all around the world. This noble mission brings her from India, where she unmasks a fake guru who supposedly re-invented the female orgasm, to Rome, where there's a whole network of girls that get kidnapped and deported to the Middle East as white sex slaves. But her biggest challenge lies in the United States, where eminent senators can still rape innocent girls without being punished for it. As a social allegory on Human Rights, this is a very meaningless effort but it remains a pretty decent exploitation film all together. The decors and costumes are beautiful and every large hole in the plot is neatly filled up with footage of Laura Gemser's stunningly ravishing body. Just like in all the other Black Emanuelle films, the absolute finest aspect is Nico Fidenco's brilliant music. The intro song "Picture of Love" should have won an Oscar! Ha!

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!
