One of a seemingly endless series of (far more explicit and violent) Italian knockoffs to the original French Emmanuelle series (with the name of the lead character changed to Emanuelle, presumably to avoid copyright and licensing issues), the French film about the bored wife of a French diplomat who found excitement through erotic adventures. In this suspense-filled film, Emanuelle experiences adventures in the Asian art of love. ~ Rovi

Whatever happened to Satanik? Back in the 1970s, this Spanish-Italian horror harvest seemed to be on TV every other week. In case you need reminding, the plot concerns a youth potion that transforms an old crone into a ravishing beauty. Unfortunately, her new-found gorgeousness forces the heroine to form a pact with the Devil. Magda Konopka stars in this mish-mash of cliches and gruesome special effects. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Sergio Corbucci crafted one of the most popular and widely imitated of the Italian "spaghetti westerns" of the 1960s with this violent but stylish action saga. A mysterious man named Django (Franco Nero) arrives in a Mexican border town dragging a small coffin behind him. When he attempts to save a woman who is being attacked by a group of bandits, he finds himself in the middle of a conflict between Mexican gangsters and racist Yankee thugs, with the innocent townspeople and a fortune in Mexican gold stuck somewhere in between. Django becomes a force to be reckoned with when it's discovered his coffin actually contains a Gatling gun. Django proved so popular in Europe that over 30 sequels and follow-ups were produced, though Franco Nero would not return to the role until 1987's Django 2: Il Grande Ritorno (the only sequel endorsed by Corbucci), which proved to be the last film in the series. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
