“E-‘MAY’-NUELLE”
FORMAT: BLU-RAY
Laura Gemser stars in this (fake) Mondo movie in character as Emanuelle. She’s your hostess for a visual tour of the world’s naughtiest nightclubs where anything can happen. One club features a stripper who takes it off for a man in a shoddy ape costume before doing it on stage. Later, another dancer strips for a dog and lets it lick her bush, which gives a whole new meaning to the term “lapdance”. There’s also a club in Hong Kong that caters to lesbians and a segment on a dancer named “Butterfly” who does performs tricks with golden ping pong balls.
We also get a glimpse of sexual customs and oddities from around the globe. In Paris, a hooker works out of a storefront window in the red-light district, and another has her own private nude roller rink. Elsewhere in India, ancient fertility rites are still being practiced (“That’s right my friends, this is going on today in the atomic space age”), in Amsterdam we visit a “sex school”, Berlin is the site of a “most beautiful breasts” competition (“Who will win and who will get the booby prize?”), in Bangkok there’s a den of inequity which is a combination of massage parlor and barbershop, and in Brazil, we see a macumba ritual. There’s also an expose on “Taxi Mothers” who pimp their daughters out to wealthy businessmen, and a funny scene where hundreds of women gather to watch a super stud named Omar bang a bunch of women on stage (one of whom is Uschi Digart).
Other nightclub acts include a magician who performs a sex change on his assistant (thanks to some editing), intergender mud wresting, and a dancer named “Lollipop” who encourages audience participation. Later, the magician returns to invite couples on stage for a game of “Guess the Fanny”, and an Arab couple have to pantomime their lovemaking in a club to adhere to strict local policy.
This is kind of an interesting, if not entirely successful, way to simultaneously ride the wave of both the Mondo movie craze and the Emanuelle franchise. (It also manages to keep the bestiality theme of the Emanuelle series going.) Oh, and if the scene of cannibal castration looks familiar, it’s because they were taken from Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals.
Directed by the one-two combo of Bruno Mattei and Joe D’Amato, Porno Nights of the World is a grab bag of oddball exploitation elements. Because of its very nature, it’s uneven as all get out. The upshot is that most sequences are short, which means they don’t stay on one subject for too long. So, if there’s a segment that you don’t much care for, just be patient. D’Amato and Mattei will be onto a new silly sequence before too long. All in all, it’s not nearly as successful or fun as something like D’Amato’s similar Crazy Nights, but it works more often than not.
