- DirectorJoseph W. SarnoStarsMarla EllisEve HarrisSheila BrittThree College friends go off to New York to become Broadway stars and they endure an endless parade of casting couches and frauds in their pursuit of Limelight, which puts more and more strains on their friendships.Joe Sarno’s 'Warm Nights and Hot Pleasures' follows three ambitious college girls eager to make their mark on Broadway to New York City. After renting an apartment, in a building where the landlady poses for sexy pics, the girls are immersed in a lurid world of wild parties, men’s clubs and sleazy casting couches. Soon, each one must decide how far she is willing to go for stardom.
Like many Sarno pictures, this one focuses on the women and their misadventures. Despite some simulated sex and brief nudity, the film plays out more like a drama than a straight nudie flick, with its tragedy, despair, debasement and betrayal.
So basically, what you got here is a 60s NYC sleaze-lite B&W exploitation drama, with some great trashy moments, and a jazz soundtrack that doesn’t quit. - DirectorJoseph W. SarnoStarsJudy YoungW.B. ParkerAudrey CampbellSeveral unhappy suburban housewives partake in numerous affairs. One of them gets the neighbors to join her and her fake brother's secret sex club. Meanwhile, the prudish closeted daughter of one of the women starts an affair with her.In 'Sin In the Suburbs', writer/director Joe Sarno keeps his focus on swinging. Lonely housewives are swinging at a discreet location and wearing masks to protect their identities, in this pretty well executed exploitation film, with a never-ending jazz-soundtrack. For this particular era the film was probably liable to shock the sexually-repressed audience of the 60s.
It is quite possible that Stanley Kubrick ripped off various elements here and used them in 'Eyes Wide Shut', like some people are saying, there are unquestionably some similarities! - DirectorRuss MeyerStarsTura SatanaHajiLori WilliamsThree go-go dancers holding a young girl hostage come across a crippled old man living with his two sons in the desert. After learning he's hiding a sum of cash around, the women start scheming on him.With a non-existent plot and characters like shallow B-movie stereotypes, Russ Meyer still entertains as this is about as 'cult' as it gets. Shot in crisp black and white, it follows three big breasted women, dancers by night, fast car riding killers by day.
Noted feminist film critic B. Ruby Rich said that when she first saw 'Faster, Pussycat!' in the 1970s she "was absolutely outraged that [she had] been forced to watch this misogynist film that objectified women and that was really just short of soft-core porn." Upon viewing it again in the early 1990s, however, she "just loved it" and wrote a piece in The Village Voice reappraising the film and discussing her change in opinion. - DirectorDoris WishmanStarsGigi DarleneCharles E. MazinSam StewartAfter hubby Ted goes to work, Ellen putters around the apartment in her nightgown cleaning up. When she takes the trash out, the janitor forces her into his apartment and rapes her. When he tries to rape her again, she dispatches him and then hits the road, a fugitive from injustice. She goes to the Big City and encounters a string of situations where she gets used and abused. When she finally finds a nice woman to rent from, the woman's son turns out to be a detective, which threatens her newly found identity and peace of mind.B&W sexploitation film from writer/director Doris Wishman; the woman who pretty much single-handedly popularized the so-called "roughie" exploitation movies during the sixties.
Like a typical 60s sexploitation film, it includes a beautiful but sleazy female character walking around nude (or nearly-nude), violence, rape and lesbian sex-scenes.
This film, and other films like it, were on the cutting-edge of sensationalistic sex and violence, during the swinging 60s. Quite shocking, back when they were made. Now, films like these seem ludicrously melodramatic. - DirectorDoris WishmanStarsJune RobertsSam StewartBob OranA man's wife starts having an affair with her brother-in-law, who is temporarily staying at their apartment.In this soft-core B&W sexploitation, also by Doris Wishman, a wife is having an affair with her husbands sleazy brother. A little T&A and simulated sex went a long way back in the 60s.
- DirectorMichael FindlayStarsSuzanne MarreAngelique PettyjohnMichael FindlayA distraught weapons dealer is involved in an automobile accident after catching his stripper wife in bed with another man. Upon recovering, he goes on a killing spree, bumping off exotic dancers and hookers while plotting revenge.Michael Findlay and his wife Roberta were responsible for quite a few cult classics of sleaze in the 60s and 70s.
In this horror sexploitation a man catches his wife in bed with another guy, gets hit by a car and confined to a wheelchair then seeks revenge on any hooker/stripper he comes across.
This was the first of a cheap B&W sexploitation trilogy of "FLESH" films that proceeded to get more and more violent, perverted and misogynistic with each installment. If this one ('The Touch of Her Flesh') makes your cookie crumble, be also on the lookout for:
'The Curse of Her Flesh' (1968)
'The Kiss of Her Flesh' (1968).
The other films in the series follow the same "plot" of women getting naked and killed. - DirectorRalph ThomasStarsRichard JohnsonElke SommerSylva KoscinaBritish agent Bulldog Drummond is assigned to stop a master criminal who uses beautiful women to do his killings.'Deadlier Than the Male' is a silly and enjoyable romp of a British Eurospy film, set in beautiful exotic locations, and one of the many take-offs of James Bond produced during the 1960s.
The real stars in this film are the knock-out killer girls, principally Elke Sommer and Sylva Koscina, whose in or out of their bikinis throughout the lively movie. - DirectorRoger VadimStarsJane FondaJohn Phillip LawAnita PallenbergIn the 41st century, an astronaut partakes in sexy misadventures while seeking to stop an evil scientist who threatens to bring evil back into the galaxy.Many peoples interest in cult and bizarre began from seeing this classic 60s mild-exploitation film, starring Jane Fonda, which is campy, psychedelic and ahed of its time.
- DirectorCliff OwenStarsJohn RichardsonOlga SchoberováEdward JuddCarol, a beautiful young girl is possessed by Ayesha's spirit who was once the queen of Kuma. Ayesha's spirit gains control over Carol to achieve her malevolent goals.This entertaining HAMMER movie is hardly a great film epic and doesn't compare favorably with the solid 'She' (1965), which this is a sequel to. But it does got a nice score and a beautiful blonde (Olga Schoberová), whose lack in acting-skills only adds to the fun.
- DirectorDoris WishmanStarsSharon KentTrom LittleMichael AlaimoZeb finds a doll and a ring in a garbage can. Then, he sees Ann going to work with her friend Babs. He thinks she looks like the doll. When he gets home, he caresses the doll... Ann feels it! When Zeb finds out about Ann's fiance Tom, he really gets mad, burns the doll, and beats it up, which makes Ann think she's losing her mind.Very cheap B&W soft-core exploitation film about Ann who is feeling she is being touched every time Zeb is rubbing a doll he found in the trash.
Like many other exploitation movies of the era the film seems rather redundant and it's really going nowhere. Mostly it's just some fairly attractive ladies walking around in lingerie or half-naked.
Technically speaking, this is like every other Wishman movie, it was recorded with no sound and later all the dialogue was dubbed in. - DirectorMichael CortStarsJames Robertson JusticeCharles HawtreyRobin HawdonA race of sexy women from Angvia, a planet in another dimension, comes to Earth to kidnap women to repopulate their planet.This appalling English soft-core sci-fi sexploitation should only to be watched for nostalgic purposes. 'Zeta One' got a plotless story with no continuity and endless scenes of naked and half-naked women wandering aimlessly around.
- DirectorLee FrostStarsBob CresseMaria LeaseKathy WilliamsTwo female Army agents go undercover at a Nazi prison camp to get information from a scientist being held there.Although certain later nazisploitation movies (particularly those out of Italy) would outdo 'Love Camp 7' in terms of excess in virtually every department, the film still offers enough depravity, sleaze and general schlock to please most fans of the genre.
It is famous for being the very first in the wave of sleazy nazisploitation movies and for being classified as a video-nasty in the UK. - DirectorRalph ThomasStarsRichard JohnsonDaliah LaviBeba LoncarA series of unexplainable accidents befall the people and companies responsible for developing the world's first supersonic airliner (SST1). A British agent is sent to investigate and with the help of another agent uncovers a plot masterminded by Carl Petersen who stands to gain eight million pounds if the aircraft is not ready by a certain date. The evil Petersen has developed a number of "robots" (actually rather beautiful girls with "electronic brains") to help him sabotage the SST1 project by means of "infrasound" (extreme low frequency sound waves) which can be directed at people or objects with devastating results.Non-Bond spy movie, a campier sequel to the British classic romp 'Deadlier than the Male’.
Like Bond, Drummond is well skilled, serious and intelligent and is out to investigate what is behind a series of murders disguised as accidents, that are carried out by what appears to be beautiful young women (hence it's title 'Some Girls Do').
Tightly edited, nice locations, a small army of female automatons extremely well disguised as bathing-suit babes, this film moves so fast you don't have time to dwell on its absurdities. - DirectorRuss MeyerStarsDolly ReadCynthia MyersMarcia McBroomThree girls come to Hollywood to make it big, but find only sex, drugs, and sleaze.This exploitation picture, by Russ Meyer, is basically 'Valley of the Dolls' (1967), which is chronicling the rise and fall of three young women in show business, made fun and trashy.
- DirectorJack HillStarsRoberta CollinsPam GrierJudith BrownBeautiful female prisoners are abused in a Philippine prison until five of them plot an escape by taking the evil female warden hostage with reluctant help from two male fruit vendors.Jack Hill introduces Pam Grier (though not the star in this film) in this chicks-in-chains AKA women-in-prison (WiP) exploitation classic about beautiful women prisoners being abused in a Philippine prison, until five of them plot an escape.
The film contain gratuitous nudity, mud-wrestling, sexual assault and some scenes of torture. That being said, director Jack Hill makes the most of the exploitation genre and does it in a stylish, colorful way that makes this low-budget film fun to watch. - DirectorJesús FrancoStarsSoledad MirandaDennis PricePaul MullerAn erotic horror tale about a vixen vampiress seducing and killing women to appease her insatiable thirst for female blood.The Spanish/German co-production ‘Vampyros Lesbos’ is loaded with symbolic language, an almost dream-like atmosphere, a fantastic score and frequent nudity by the German Ewa Strömberg and the beautiful and ill fated Spanish Soledad Miranda as the vampire Countess Nadine Carody who harasses women and sucks their blood.
It is a psychedelic mixture of sex, art, trash and horror. It's one of the better exploitation films by legendary writer/producer/director Jess Franco (or Jesús Franco) who has made more cult movies than the mind can conceive of. - DirectorGerardo de LeonStarsJudith BrownRoberta CollinsJennifer GanAmerican women prisoners in a foreign country. Sex and action.'Women in Cages' reunites the three main cast members of 'The Big Doll House' (Pam Grier, Roberta Collins and Judith Brown), but the result is a less funny and more raw and gritty women-in-prison (WiP) exploitation film with a little gore and your typical nude shower scenes.
Pam Grier plays a pot-smoking, white race-hating, sadistic lesbian prison guard, who is the matron in a sleazy Filipino prison, where some women prisoners are plotting their escape. - DirectorJack HillStarsPam GrierAnitra FordCandice RomanGrier and Haig are thieving mercenaries who engineer a prison break from the outside.Jack Hill's follow-up (not a sequel) to his earlier 'The Big Doll House' is a glorious camp exercise in trash cinema and a real treat for women-in-prison (WiP) fans. Just like 'The Big Doll House’, 'The Big Bird Cage’ is set in an unnamed Banana Republic (but shot in the Philippines) and proves to be far less offensive than many of its contemporaries and almost impossible not to enjoy.
- DirectorRay AustinStarsAnn MichelleVicki MichelleKeith BuckleyA pair of miniskirted birds who travel to a remote castle in order to land a contract in the modeling agency of the mysterious lesbian Sybil Waite (In HD).Underneath the frequent nudity provided by the two Michelle sisters there's somewhat of a plot; two sisters are drawn into a coven of witches after Christine accepts a job with lesbian modeling agent/high priestess Sybil Waite (Patricia Haines) in this British exploitation cinema.
- DirectorBo Arne VibeniusStarsChristina LindbergHeinz HopfDespina TomazaniA young woman, rendered mute after a childhood sexual assault, is trained to seek violent revenge on those who kidnapped and forced her into prostitution.This Swedish rape & revenge exploitation picture inspired Quentin Tarantino to make Kill Bill.
The first half contain several sex-scenes of actual penetration performed by stunt-doubles.
In the second half the girl becomes one of the coolest anti-heroines of 70s exploitation cinema before she delivers her sweet revenge. - DirectorEddie RomeroStarsPam GrierMargaret MarkovSid HaigA Black prostitute and a white revolutionary must form an uneasy alliance when they are busted out of prison, then pursued by guerrillas, bounty hunters and the Army.Eddie Romero's 'Black Mama, White Mama' AKA 'Women in Chains' is a stylish and funny women-in-prison (WiP) exploitation classic full of the usual ingredients like violence, occasional torture, catfights and nude women.
Story by pre-fame Jonathan Demme (who two years later directed his first film 'Caged Heat'). Starring Pam Grier as a defiant former black prostitute and Margaret Markov as a blonde revolutionary, constantly having beef with each other, makes this (partly) an homage to the 1958 classic 'The Defiant Ones', in which two chained-together escaped convicts, white and black, must learn to get along in order to elude capture. - DirectorPaul GlicklerStarsStephanie FondueDenise DillawayJovita BushA group of cheerleaders from the local high school decide to show their school spirit for their football team by sleeping with the opponents the night before the game so that they can be so worn out the opposition won't be able to play.This sexploitation classic is overall light and innocent despite the frequent T&A and simulated sex. These girls make no attempt to be actresses and will sleep with anything resembling a man.
- DirectorErwin C. DietrichStarsElisabeth FelchnerKarin HeskeRenate KaschéIn the last days of WW2, women are volunteering from all over Germany to serve in the front lines by having sex with Nazi soldiers.The German 'Frauleins in Uniforms' (AKA She Devils of the SS) features none of the mean-spirited nastiness and sexual degradation that is generally associated with the nazisploitation genre.
There is some attempt at a story, but it doesn't really go anywhere since the whole excuse for the film is for the women to get naked and to have simulated sex. - DirectorJack HillStarsPam GrierBooker BradshawRobert DoQuiA sexy Black nurse takes vigilante justice against inner-city drug dealers after her sister becomes their latest victim.Female-avenger themed blaxploitation film starring Pam Grier (the queen of blaxploitation).
Possibly Pam Grier's best movie.
Check out Sidney Freidman from M*A*S*H as a sleazy bad guy! - DirectorDenis SandersStarsWilliam SmithAnitra FordVictoria VetriA powerful cosmic force is turning Earth women into queen bees who kill men by wearing them out sexually.Great B film from the 70s that is pure exploitation and a cheesy delight to watch.
- DirectorJesús FrancoStarsAnne LibertCarmen YazaldeDoris ThomasA group of nuns become possessed by demons and are then tortured in a dungeon of horrors during the inquisition.Lesbian nuns and sadistic torture from prolific pervo Jess Franco in this nunsploitation. Be sure to get the full-length 116-minute version if you are into this stuff.
- DirectorJonathan DemmeStarsJuanita BrownErica GavinRoberta CollinsIn a women's prison, a group of inmates band together to combat the repressive and abusive policies of the crippled female warden and the corrupt prison doctor.This women-in-prison (WiP) exploitation film is much lighter on the sleaze than your average WiP film and is often regarded as one of the better films of this kind, along with Jack Hill's 'The Big Bird Cage'.
It's Jonathan Demme’s directional debut, the same guy who later directed 'The Silence of the Lambs' (1991). - DirectorJack HillStarsPam GrierAntonio FargasPeter BrownA voluptuous vigilante takes a job as a high-class prostitute to get revenge on the mobsters who murdered her boyfriend.'Foxy Brown' is another classic female-avenger themed blaxploitation film starring Pam Grier.
- DirectorEddie RomeroStarsGloria HendryCheri CaffaroRosanna OrtizThree women of three races join the fundraising part of an island revolution.This is not your typical WiP exploitation film. There’s next to no violence and nudity, and the prison side of things isn’t as important as whats going on outside.
While filmed in the Philippines, the movie is set in some unnamed Banana Republic where we follow three groups (some revolutionaries, some bandits and a corrupt military officer representing the government) chasing one million dollars. Two female revolutionaries are locked up and joins their group after a while.
Directed by Eddie Romero (famous for schlocky Filipino productions) who also directed 'Black Mama, White Mama', which has the same ending on the same pier as this one. - DirectorBrunello RondiStarsMartine BrochardMarilù ToloErna SchurerYoung French tourist Martine gets falsely accused of drug possession in Italy. She's imprisoned in a brutal women's prison where inmates face abuse from staff and other prisoners. A riot erupts, intensifying the ordeal.AKA Riot In A Womens Prison.
Another sleazy Italian women-in-prison (WiP) exploitation film about a young woman (French tourist Martine) who’s put in a brutal woman’s prison on trump-up charges, suffering abuse from staff and other prisoners.
That sounds like most WiP movies out there and this one is no different. It's badly dubbed, got an extended group shower scene, a young nun stripped naked, masturbation and lesbianism. - DirectorSteve CarverStarsMargaret MarkovPam GrierLucretia LoveWhen the Romans force a group of sex slaves to become gladiatrices, two such fighters - a Nubian dancer and a Gaulish priestess - form an alliance to lead the others in rebellion.AKA Gladiator Women.
AKA Naked Warriors.
Steve Carver's 'The Arena' is a entertaining piece of 70s exploitation, produced by Roger Corman and co-directed by the king of exploitation himself, Joe D’Amato. Starring the sexiest duo of 70s cult heroines, Pam Grier and Margaret Markov, who teamed up again after their success in 'Black Mama, White Mama' to give you this pure Grindhouse cinema.
That being said, the film suffers from some weak acting performances, a story thats barely existent, poor battle choreography and the costumes & set-pieces look like depreciated materials from 'Spartacus'. - DirectorDoris WishmanStarsChesty MorganFrank SilvanoSaul MethAn unusually proportioned secret agent uses her unique anatomy to spy on the members of an international drug ring.This exploitation film, starring Chesty Morgan, is a follow-up to 'Deadly Weapons', also from 1974.
A secret agent got a camera implanted in her breast and spy on the members of an international drug ring.
This too big-breasted woman cant act, wears an obvious wig, got really crooked teeth and has a poor dub-over. Its a pure XXXL boob-sploitation. - DirectorJack HillStarsJo JohnstonCheryl SmithColleen CampA college journalist infiltrates the campus' cheerleading squad to write an piece on female exploitation, but instead makes unlikely friendships and uncovers a conspiracy involving the football team's coach.A likable, light exploitation feature that probably isn't trashy enough for some people.
- DirectorDon EdmondsStarsDyanne ThorneGregory KnophTony MumoloIlsa is an evil Nazi warden at a death camp that conducts "medical experiments." Ilsa's goal is to prove women can withstand more pain and suffering than men, and therefore should be allowed to fight on the front lines.Ilsa, played by chesty blonde Dyanne Thorne, is the Commandant at a concentration camp where she oversees medical research performed on the female prisoners. Meanwhile, she uses the males to try and satisfy her sexual needs.
This notorious sleaze classic packs so much depravity into its 96 minutes running time (uncut), that lovers of exploitation will have a field day with the well executed graphic violence and horrific torture scenes.
Often referred to as the original nazisploitation classic.
If your into the exploitation film-series centered on Ilsa, be also on the lookout for:
Ilsa, Harem Keeper of the Oil Sheiks (1976)
Ilsa, the Wicked Warden (AKA Greta, the Mad Butcher) (1977)
Ilsa, the Tigress of Siberia (1977) - DirectorRuss MeyerStarsCharles PittShari EubankCharles NapierClint Ramsey must quit his job at Martin Bormann's gas station and flee after his wife is killed by psychopathic cop Harry Sledge, who tries to pin the murder on him.Boobs galore in this sexploitation film, by Russ Meyer, which is totally over the top. A cheesy trash 70s soft-porn with a constant stream of ridiculous goings on, campy humor and extreme violence.
- DirectorJack HillStarsRobbie LeeJoanne NailMonica GayleThe leader of an inner-city girl gang is challenged when a new girl moves into the neighborhood.AKA Switchblade Sisters.
Great trashy female-gang-sploitation grindhouse classic!
Reputed to be one of Quentin Tarantino's favorite films as he re-released it in '97 through Rolling Thunder Pictures.
Check out Don Stark (Bob Pinciotti on 'That 70s Show') in an early role as gang member "Hook". - DirectorSergio GarroneStarsMircha CarvenPaola CorazziGiorgio CerioniNear the end of WW2, prisoners of war are used in experiments to perfect the "Aryan" race.AKA SS Experiment Camp.
AKA SS Experiment Love Camp.
This Italian nazisploitation got plenty of nudity and soft-core sex. It is an infamous video-nasty that is hardly worth calling a shocker. The repulsiveness is limited to a few sequences while the rest of the film is talkative dullness about the superiority of the Third Reich. - DirectorDerek ToddStarsJim CurtisBarbara FiskNeil FletcherA dystopian Sci-Fi sex adventure.In some unidentified future, where the people is addicted to sex via television as a form of government control, a young woman who seems to have it all, is tired of her husband's single-minded obsession and simply wants to take a walk outside. As rumors of her dissatisfaction start to spread, she's recruited to join a group of revolutionaries plotting to overthrow the government. After winning a trip to the Pleasure Dome, she realizes this is the perfect opportunity to destroy the supercomputer which governs and makes this society possible.
The film got ambitious production design, decent TV-style sci-fi interiors and costuming, and unfortunately and not surprisingly, a script that makes it suck. - DirectorGreydon ClarkStarsJohn DanielsTanya BoydJoseph CarloA promiscuous heterosexual black hairstylist and businessman has sex with his white female customers, but when he begins a relationship with his black secretary, her white mobster ex-boyfriend resorts to violent measures to get her back.Angry hairdresser gets revenge on white mobsters in this entertaining and cheesy soft-core blaxploitation film with plenty of sex, nudity and violence.
The film's title is a reference to the Warren Beatty/Hal Ashby flick 'Shampoo' from 1975, from which it is obviously ripping-off the stereotypical hairdresser and ladies' man. - DirectorJohn Llewellyn MoxeyStarsDeborah RaffinLynne MoodyChuck ConnorsDuring a road trip, two UCLA coeds end up in a Southern prison farm on trumped-up charges brought on by a small town sex-crazed corrupt sheriff.Obscure made-for-TV 70's women-in-prison and hicksploitation film. What it may be lacking in the sleaze factor; it makes up for in other areas.
- DirectorTinto BrassStarsHelmut BergerIngrid ThulinTeresa Ann SavoyKitty runs a brothel in Nazi Germany where the soldiers come to "relax". Recording devices have been installed in each room by a power-hungry army official, who plans to use the information to blackmail Hitler and gain power himself.Nazi exploitation about the perversions and sexual humiliations the Germans inflicted on the patriotic beauties that served as prostitutes of Salon Kitty during the start of WWII.
Director Tinto Brass (who, like Joe D'Amato, is more renowned for his porno epics) spends a great deal of time trying to make this film decadent, classy and stylish, separating it from the more typical Italian mean-spirited torture porn nazisploitation films.
'Salon Kitty' was Tinto Brass' warm-up to his infamous attempt at the big budget porn crossover 'Caligula' in 1979. - DirectorJesús FrancoStarsLina RomayPaul MullerMonica SwinnWomen's prison tale, with Lina Romay as Maria who is jailed after killing her father, played by director Jess Franco, who tries to rape her. Lesbian wardens, torture, nudity, sex, insanity and conspiracy round out the formula.AKA Barbed Wire Dolls
AKA Caged Women
Another sleazy, dubbed women-in-prison (WiP) exploitation, by Jess Franco, where a woman is sent to prison after killing her father (played by Franco himself) for attempted rape. You really got to see this 'slow-motion' flashback scene to believe it!
Most characters are pulled from 'Ilsa - The Wicked Warden' (also by Jess Franco) and, as usual, the 'plot' only serves as an excuse to depict countless scenes of violence, rape and female masturbation. Whilst all this sleaze is admittedly fun for a little while, eventually, like so many of Franco's efforts, the tasteless torture and endless crotch shots becomes dull and boring. - DirectorMichael PressmanStarsClaudia JenningsTara StrohmeierJocelyn JonesExplosive drama and action when two sexy girls go on a bank robbing binge.Frequent nudity, in this enjoyable 70's exploitation film, by two young women who’s robbing banks across Texas using sticks of dynamite.
Stick around for plenty of action, comedy, some sex-scenes and violence. It is quite innocent and fun. - DirectorJoe D'AmatoStarsJack PalanceLaura GemserGabriele TintiEva comes to Hong Kong. Seeing Eva perform with a snake, Judas gets interested in her. He showers her with gifts. She moves in with him and his snakes. Things get grim.AKA Cobra Woman.
AKA Black Cobra Woman.
AKA Emmanuelle Goes Japanese.
This film features no investigative journalist and photographer named Emanuelle, instead Gemser plays a snake-dancer named Eva, making this an unofficial entry in the "Black Emanuelle" catalog. It does however, as with most Emanuelle films, feature Laura Gemser as the main character and the ever-present Gabriele Tinti (Gemser's real-life husband) lurking somewhere in the cast.
As you would expect from Joe D'Amato, the story that follows is totally nondescript and irrational. After Judas, a rich man who’s into exotic snakes, and his brother (played by Tinti), hooks up with snake-dancer Eva, Laura Gemser takes the lead role and spends most of the film either naked or getting it on with other women. - DirectorBrunello RondiStarsLaura GemserAnnie BelleAl CliverGlamorous, but passive and browbeaten fashion model Laura and her abusive photographer husband Carlo go to Egypt to visit Laura's wealthy friend Crystal. While staying at Crystal's palatial abode Laura befriends Crystal's free-spirited daughter Pina and falls under the charismatic spell of shifty spiritual guru Horatio.AKA Black Emmanuelle, White Emmanuelle.
AKA Black Velvet.
AKA Emanuelle in Egypt.
AKA Naked Paradise.
This is another Laura Gemser film, being passed off as part of the popular "Black Emanuelle" series, that has nothing to do with the Emanuelle character.
Laura Gemser, which plays a model, and her abusive photographer boyfriend is in Egypt and doing whatever they like. There's no real narrative to the film, it's basically just an excuse to get Gemser naked and shoot some tame sex scenes. - DirectorLuigi BatzellaStarsMacha MagallGino TuriniEdilio KimA beautiful, nefarious senior female SS officer/doctor creates a genetic, mutant human hybrid; the beast is a, squat, mongoloid hyper-sexually-driven fiend which she uses to torture and molest female prisoners while get fellow Nazis watch.AKA The Beast in Heat.
AKA SS Hell Camp.
In this Italian nazisploitation a female SS doctor are performing experiments on naked women and feeding them to a caged man-beast.
This one didn’t get a UK release and is infamous due to its inclusion on the video-nasties list in the UK during the 80s. Its badly made, boring, got plenty nudity, tasteless sadism, lengthy rape scenes and nasty tortures. - DirectorJoe D'AmatoStarsLaura GemserGabriele TintiRoger BrowneHedonistic photojournalist Emanuelle goes undercover to expose the seedy lives of rich and powerful sex cultists and snuff film peddlers in America and Europe.There are several "Black Emanuelle" films, both official and unofficial. The films were made to cash in on the success of the French film Emmanuelle (1974) and its sequels.
The "Black Emanuelle" series features the erotic adventures of Mae Jordan (played by Laura Gemser), a globe-trotting, hedonistic investigative journalist and photographer known to her readers as "Emanuelle".
This film is infamous for its explicit sexual content and graphic violence, but is in fact rather bland.
Be also on the lookout for:
Black Emanuelle (1975)
Emanuelle in Bangkok (1976)
Emanuelle Around the World (1977)
Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals (1977)
Emanuelle and the White Slave Trade (1978) - DirectorCesare CanevariStarsAdriano MicantoniDaniela PoggiMaristella GrecoA Jewish woman who survived the horrors of a concentration camp revisits the ruins of the camp, along with a former SS officer, and recollects the humiliation, the torture, and the constant abuse she went through.AKA Gestapo's Last Orgy.
AKA Last Orgy of the Third Reich.
AKA Caligula Reincarnated As Hitler.
This Italian video-nasty is a unflinching look at the atrocities committed in a Nazi concentration camp with harrowing scenes of sexual abuse, violent death and torture. This one is mean-spirited and rawer and nastier than other nazisploitation films of the same era.
Refused a video certificate in 2021. - DirectorLuigi CozziStarsMarjoe GortnerCaroline MunroChristopher PlummerAn outlaw smuggler and her alien companion are recruited by the Emperor of the Galaxy to rescue his son and destroy a secret weapon by the evil Count Zarth Arn.This campy low-budget cult classic, made to cash-in on the success of Star Wars, features Caroline Munro in a leather space bikini with matching boots and a ridiculous looking laser gun, kicking ass!
Check out a young David Hasselhoff in a light-saber vs. steel sword duel with a robot! - DirectorMeir ZarchiStarsCamille KeatonEron TaborRichard PaceAn aspiring writer is repeatedly assaulted, humiliated, and left for dead by four men she systematically hunts down to seek revenge.AKA I Spit on Your Grave.
This rape & revenge video-nasty from 1978, originally called 'Day of the Woman', has been labeled extremely graphic, violent and one of the most disturbing movies ever created, yet it has become a cult classic of epic proportion.
Now, decades after, the film still has the power to disturb and divide audiences. Is this a misogynistic film or a truly feminine one? - DirectorPeter Perry Jr.John ArnoldyStarsLoraine FerrisDaphne LawrenceDeborah MarcusThree Colorado girls decide to hop on their motorcycles and head to California. On the way they get mixed up in drugs, rape and stolen motorcycles.A light exploitation film about three Colorado biker girls and their trip to California in order to see the ocean for the first time. On the way they get mixed up in sex, drugs and not so funky music.
- DirectorGregory GoodellStarsLinda HaynesGeoffrey LewisEllen TravoltaA demented prison doctor performs gruesome shock therapy experiments on inmates.AKA Women in Prison.
In this mild women-in-prison exploitation, which is very tame compared to other WiP films, Rachel Foster (Linda Haynes) is wrongfully arrested for murder and sentenced to prison where a mad doctor (Geoffrey Lewis) is doing bizarre rehabilitative experiments on the inmates.
Despite for being labeled as a video-nasty, this film is really not that shocking or offensive. - DirectorEdward D. MurphyStarsCameron MitchellGeoffrey BinneyHope HolidayMartial arts students visit an island with ghosts of dishonored fighters. They encounter a Hitler lookalike running a female slavery operation, leading to encounters with cannibals, piranhas, zombies, and chaos.Outrageously trashy karate/horror thriller with loads of gory violence and gratuitous nudity. Every ten minutes the cheesy dialogue grinds to a halt in order to have another poorly-staged fight that's hilarious and very violent.
This martial-arts exploitation B-film got it all. Bad actors, bad plot, kung fu, cannibalism, zombies, evil monks, T&A, women in cages, some great exotic locales and Cameron Mitchell. - DirectorJack HillStarsLeigh HarrisLynette HarrisRoberto NelsonSword and sorcery story of the cosmic struggle between white magic and black magic.Twin sisters Leigh and Lynette Harris, plays warrior women Mira and Mara, in this cheesy, sleazy 80s fantasy exploitation film.
- DirectorBruno MatteiStarsLaura GemserGabriele TintiMaria RomanoPhotojournalist Emanuelle goes undercover into a woman's prison, where she discovers and experiences the abuse, torture and humiliation the inmates are subjected to.AKA Caged Women.
AKA Violence in a Women's Prison.
Infamous Italian director Bruno Mattei takes a stab at the women-in-prison (WiP) genre as well as he makes another entry in the famous "Black Emanuelle" series.
In 'Caged Women', Emanuelle (Laura Gemser) goes undercover in a prison to see if it's true about the sadistic warden who likes to beat, torture and rape the women prisoners. The director doesn't try to do anything new or original here, its just your usual lesbian scenes, violence and constant nudity.
'Caged Women' got the same cast and same sets as in 'Blade Violent', they where filmed at the same time, shot back-to-back. - DirectorBruno MatteiGilbert RousselStarsLaura GemserGabriele TintiUrsula FloresFour escaped male convicts seize control of a women's prison and proceed to terrorize the inmates, one of whom is reporter Emanuelle, incarcerated on trumped-up charges.AKA Blade Violent.
AKA Women's Prison Massacre.
AKA Emanuelle in Prison.
Another brutal and shocking Italian women-in-prison exploitation film from Bruno Mattei. 'Blade Violent' got the same cast and same sets as in 'Caged Women', they where filmed at the same time, shot back-to-back.
Not sure if this film qualifies as a "Black Emanuelle" film, or if it only carries the popular label because it's easier to promote the film that way, since Gemser keeps her clothes on the entire time, separating this from other "Black Emanuelle" films where she’s constantly naked.
Instead of serving the same old and repetitive dish of lesbian guards whipping and torturing helpless prisoners, Mattei brings a somewhat different story that mainly revolves around four insane male criminals that take over the female prison, where they rape, torture and violate the inmates as well as the corrupt guards.
Plenty of nudity in the beginning before the film descends into some shocking violence towards the end; a female inmate putting a razor-blade in her vagina so that one of the convicts slices his penis in half when he tries to rape her! - DirectorMatt CimberStarsLaurene LandonCihangir GaffariMaría CasalBorn in a tribe of fierce warrior women, the archer and sword fighter, Hundra, has been raised to despise the influence of men. Superior to any male, Hundra takes a vow of revenge until one day she finds love.On one side, this sword & sandal B film got a feminist heart depicting a woman warrior kicking ass. On the other side, the film exploits the loincloth-wearing amazon heroine, Hundra, riding naked on her horse, hardly befitting a feminist ideal.
The film also got decent production value and a great score from Ennio Morricone. - DirectorJames SbardellatiStarsRick HillBarbi BentonRichard BrookerA lone warrior nicknamed Deathstalker is sent by a witch on a quest to find a sword, a chalice, and an amulet, two of which are held by the wicked king and sorcerer, Munkar.The early to mid 80s were the pinnacle of the sword & sorcery genre, generating 'Dragonslayer', 'The Beastmaster', 'The Sword & the Sorcerer', and two Conan films. 'Deathstalker', an oiled-up beefcake of a hero, is their trashy exploitation cousin.
Along the way on his quest, 'Deathstalker' meets up with a variety of friends and a warrior-woman who remains shirtless throughout (played by Lana Clarkson, the B-actress who was shot dead by Phil Spector in 2003). Barely a scene goes by without a flash of naked females. The film makes no apologies with all its rape scenes, gratuitous nudity, mud wrestling, magic, swords, muscles, blood and gore. - DirectorDanny SteinmannTom DeSimoneStarsLinda BlairJohn VernonRobert DryerA teenage vigilante seeks revenge on a group of violent thugs who raped her handicapped sister and killed her best friend.A decade or so after her performance as a possessed girl in The Exorcist, Linda Blair made it into the world of exploitation cinema in this superb 80s female-avenger trash classic.
- DirectorJim WynorskiStarsMelanie VinczRaven De La CroixAngela AamesSeeking revenge, officer Angel Wolfe, her Native American friend Whitestar, and outlaw Heather infiltrate a fortified island where an undead wizard and his evil cult force captured women to take part in gladiatorial tournaments.Campy, light exploitation adventure about three big breasted warrior women taking part in gladiatorial tournaments.
- DirectorAvi NesherStarsSandahl BergmanDavid GossQuin KesslerIn a post-apocalyptic America, She, a fierce warrior who leads a women's cult, teams up with two brothers searching for their kidnapped sister. They come across weird cults before standing against the odds to defeat the evil Norks.In this ultra low-budget hysterical romp the Goddess She (Sandahl Bergman) and her woman warriors teams up with two brothers to fight the evil Norks.
This 80s post-apocalyptic sword & sandal B film makes no effort to be realistic. Comedy, fantasy, horror all in one. - DirectorOswaldo de OliveiraStarsElizabeth HartmannMaurício do ValleSandra GraffiEdgar, a sex trafficker, sends his men to lure groups of women to his estate in the woods, imprisoning them, and selling them. One strong minded woman refuses to be sold and plots an escape, while convincing other girls to join her.In this Brazilian sleaze fest a slavery-ring runs a successful women’s prison where girls are kept in wooden cages and forced into sex slavery for wealthy businessmen who fly deep into the Amazon jungle to satisfy their carnal desires.
'Amazon Jail' is a bizarre and lousy exploitation film. There’s a lot of things happening but it's all very boring and edited together without the slightest bit of continuity or logic.
The level of violence is low. Nudity and sleaze, on the other hand, there’s plenty of! - DirectorHéctor OliveraStarsLana ClarksonKatt SheaFrank ZagarinoA sword-wielding warrior, Amethea, and a few companions embark on a life-or-death mission to liberate her people from the clutches of a brutal monarch who destroyed her village and enslaved her people.Sword-fighting semi-naked barbarian chicks is after revenge in this trashy fantasy exploitation film with lots of sex, tits and violence.
- DirectorAlan HollebStarsTom NolanElizabeth FoxxLarry LinvilleA college student gets into a car crash and becomes a special kind of ghost who can make himself invisible or corporeal at will. He takes advantage of his powers to pursue his fellow female students, during the infamous 'Hog Day'.Low grade teenage sex-comedy about a shameless troublemaker and serial womanizer (and occasional college student) who becomes a special kind of ghost who can make himself invisible or corporeal at will.
The movie exploit quite a bit of nudity from random models who I guess were flown in to take their tops off for the camera for a few dollars. None of the main female characters show any skin. - DirectorBruce LoganStarsKaren ChaseSandy MartinKin ShrinerA sexy stuntwoman gets herself thrown into prison to avenge the death of her sister.Typical B grade film that is soooooo 80s! Expect a good story, a shower-scene, crooked cops and drug-dealing lesbians in this classic revenge tale in a woman-in-prison (WiP) coat.

This campy French exploitation film, by Jess Franco, got bad costumes, awful acting, terrible direction, poor dialogue, recycled shots and a lot of gratuitous nudity. - DirectorTim KincaidStarsTeresa FarleyLance LewmanFrances ShermanThe Manhattan General Hospital admitted a string of young women raped by something otherworldly. Dr. Pace and Detective Andriotti try and isolate the strange organic material found on the victims to find the fiend.Aliens are looking for virgins to impregnate in this low-budget horror/sci-fi exploitation. In New York City they manage to find a coke-snorting model and one who does her aerobics in the nude.
The story, dialogue, acting and rubber-suit aliens are all really bad. Its a lame excuse to show off some naked chicks. - DirectorDavid A. PriorStarsMarcia KarrDavid CampbellFritz MatthewsTwo years ago, a young woman named Valerie was burned after entering a tanning salon. Now, her twin sister, Rhonda, runs a local gym where, all of a sudden, people are being murdered.AKA Aerobicide.
In this bizarre horror film, which is set in a fitness club, the mild horror is outshined by multiple EXTENDED scenes of girls in spandex working out and practically revealing it all.
From the typical over-the-top workout gear to the cheesy soundtrack, this aerobic-fetish exploitation just screams 1980s throughout. - DirectorKen DixonStarsElizabeth KaitanCindy BealDon ScribnerIn the future, two slaves in a distant galaxy escape prison and crash-land on a strange planet. They meet Zed, whose hospitality attempts to hide the fact they are to be hunted for sport.'Slave Girls from Beyond Infinity' is an adaptation of 'The Most Dangerous Game' (1932), only this time it's in space.

- DirectorChuck VincentStarsSybil DanningDonald PleasenceRick HillIn ancient Pompeii, slaves are bought and sold for household chores and sex. A mysterious queen moves among the elite, while secretly helping the slaves to escape.'Warrior Queen’ is a T&A retelling of the "The Last Days of Pompeii" with lots of full frontal female nudity, simulated sex and a little gore to make the experience less painful.
Cult favorite Sybil Danning plays a visiting Roman empress to Pompeii who sits around yawning while the local sadistic Clodius (Donald Pleasance) rules Pompeii with a reign of terror.
Seeing as this film is from producers Harry Alan Towers and Aristede Massacesi (AKA Joe D'Amato), and porn director Chuck Vincent, you know what to expect.
The video cover for 'Warrior Queen' is certainly the film's highpoint. Needless to say, the film itself is pretty crap. - DirectorDavid DeCoteauStarsLinnea QuigleyBrinke StevensMichelle BauerThree geeky college girls who can't get a date, organize a seance and become sex starved vamps.Campy low-budget sex comedy, not a horror, mainly an excuse to exploit nudity provided by the three American scream queens; Linnea Quigley, Michelle Bauer and Brinke Stevens.

- DirectorRobert HayesStarsPersis KhambattaKathleen KinmontPeggy McIntaggartIn a post-apocalyptic world, women warriors battle each other from junkyards to gravel pits as they determine the fate of the entire world.AKA Warriors of the Wasteland.
'Phoenix: The Warrior' is a 'Mad Max' rip-off where tribes of women fight for survival in a post apocalyptic society where men are in short supply.
It's campy, got very little T&A, a typical 80s disco keyboard soundtrack and a very low-budget, which shows.
