Summary: The Best
Review: This has to be one of the best exploitation films ever made, completely going beyond all sense of taste and decorum. Joe D'Amato does a brilliant job in showing us some of the most deprived and hard-core sequences in film history.The bit where the girl is masterbating the horse is an absolute classic. You literally can't believe what you're seeing! Definitely a collector's item in every sense and no doubt soon to be withdrawn/banned, get this while you still can - especially with the excellent extras on the disc. You might be disgusted, but you won't be disappointed!

Summary: A Brutal Sex Exploitation Film
Review: This is one of the most brutal sex exploitation films ever made. Emanuelle in America not only exploits the beauty of a naked woman, it also contains bestiality (woman with a horse) and a projected snuff film that appear very real. The sex scenes appear real and there are scenes of graphic penetrations near the end of the film. Although the story is simple (about a woman photographer looking for something controversial), it is the graphic sex scenes that make this a unique and maybe irresponsible film. The DVD image is terrific considering that this was a film in the 70's. The sound is satisfactory. I think Blue Underground really did a great job--as usual. I would recommend this film to collectors of erotic cinema.

Review: This is really the BEST Emanuelle film that is ever made!
If your looking for erotic, hardcore porn, adventure, drama and strong violence in the same movie you must see Emanuelle in America but be shour you've got an Uncut version or copie, because in the most countries the so called snuff footage and the hardcore porn is cut out. Iv'e got an Uncut german version whitch has a running time from 96 min. that's Full Uncut!!

Summary: Cheap Thrills in a Cheap Case
Review: This, the most infamous film in the Emmanuelle series, will not be for people who have enjoyed the previous erotic entries. This is the polar opposite of those films. All sex is forced, coerced, paid for and/or violent. This is far from a couples' film.
D'Amato also steps into the real of ultra-violence with some great fake snuff films. Unnervingly real, though the angles and format seems to be lifted directly from the courtyard scene is Passolini's Salo.
Laura Gemser is a pure sex symbol who, when placed in the world D'Amato has created, becomes as unappealing as all the violence around her. Any eroticism she delivers is immediately displaced by either the background, violence, or an ingratiating soundtrack.
Not for those looking for a hot sex film, but for those who want to see just how far they can step over the line in their cinematic tastes.

Summary: It ain't shockin' and it ain't good
Review: Unfortuantely movies like this are all too common. A stupid quasi-pornographic movie that teeters on the edge between real hardcore pornography and mediocre sexploitation. It is just boring. The film drags on. It almost has a plot, but every scene without bare breasts seems to serve as little more than filler. (I meant a little less than filler.)
Emanuelle is a multi-talented woman: a trollop, a harlot, a strumpet, a slut and oh so many other words. She takes photographs of somewhat attractive ladies and works for the newspaper. She goes around the world photographing rich people getting their freak on, in freaky ways of course. She carries around a small voyeur camera inside of a little medallion and snaps shots inside of orgy halls and wherever else.
The movie simply is not that shocking and not that erotic. Needless to say the plot is at best thin, so the audience needs something to tide them over during those one hundred minutes. The directors try to give us porn and shocking filth. But, what it comes down to is that beastiality and fake snuff will not turn most people on and in this day and age, these things are really not that shocking. Of course in 1976 this was kind of hardcore (although sexploitation was obselete after Deepthroat), but today with the internet and mass media the scenes in this movie are hardly shocking.
The filler scenes are at times hilarious. Listening to a senator talk about the virtue of war and sacrifice is one of the most laughable scenes in any movie. You are laughing at the movie though. This movie will not turn you on, it will not really shock you and it will not entertain you. It will for the most part bore you more than a Bresson film (I like Bresson but... they are rather long). If you want to be turned on, then watch a porno, if you want to be shocked then download a video. Emanuelle is merely a time capsule that you don't have to open.
