Product Description

Product Description

From acclaimed master of erotica Just Jaeckin (EMMANUELLE, STORY OF O, LADY CHATTERLEY'S LOVER) comes GWENDOLINE, one of the most sought-after 'guilty pleasure' movies of all time! Filled to the brim with enough female flesh and fetishistic imagery to satisfy the most demanding of voyeurs, this is one cult fantasy film you definitely won't want to miss! Follow the adventures of the sweet and innocent Gwendoline (Tawny Kitaen of BACHELOR PARTY and those legendary WHITESNAKE music videos) in which she travels as a stowaway to the Far East with her sexy friend Beth (played by French actress and model Zabou) on a mission to track down her father, who has mysteriously disappeared whilst on a mission to find a mythical butterfly. Rescued from a group of lecherous seamen by the hunky adventurer Willard (actor and male model Brent Huff), Gwendoline persuades him to make up their trio and embark on a daring journey to the land of the Yek Yeik, a country ruled by a diabolical dominant Amazon queen and and an army of female fetish-clad Amazonian warriors! There, Gwendoline must defeat the evil queen and prevent Wilard from being forced to spawn a new race of female warriors - and then face certain death. Gwendoline is a bizarre adventure like no other, freely adapted from John Willie's acclaimed erotic comic strip, which fans have been talking about for years.

4.0 out of 5 starsA great transfer of an under-rated 1980's favourite
By I. R. Kerr TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on 5 April 2008
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I have to admit I like this movie a lot and have watched it several times over the years so this DVD was a treat.
To be honest the acting is often well over-the-top (just superb as one character might say), the effects are so-so and the story is only fair but put that together with some brilliant camera work and the re-mastered sound track it somehow seems to gel. And all this for a butterfly.
There is a noticeable lull between the all action first part where lead Brent Huff flexes his muscles against various low-lifes and the last 40 minutes or so when the female leads take the centre stage in some pretty scanty outfits.
There are no household names here, of the two female heroines Tawny Kitaen as Gwendoline starred in several low budget movies like Witchboard but is better remembered for her marriage to David Coverdale and her appearance in several Whitesnake videos. Zabou Breitman is the better actress by far and has a string of films to her name as actor, writer and director and Bernadette Lafont lords it as the overdressed queen.
There are some good set pieces like the horseless chariot race and although the fight scenes are hardly world title bouts they have enough to hold the attention.
The extras are pretty reasonable too, especially the interview with writer/director Just Jaeckin and the photographs for the Lui photoshoot and as this is the "uncut" version there is a list of the original BBFC cuts that are restored here.
All in all a pretty decent package and one I will be watching often.

4.0 out of 5 starsSuperb, superb!
By Throda tzen TOP 1000 REVIEWER on 9 Nov. 2014
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
The film opens to a very late 70;s electro pop beat with a quite modern title sequence as it cuts to an Indiana Jones come BladeRunner style 1920-30s Chinatown. [Also known in the US as The Perils of Gwendoline]. Three guys crack open a massive transit crate to reveal an attractive American woman –Gwendoline [Tawney Kitaen]. Taken to the gangs leader and pursued by her maid Beth [Zabou], the bound captive Gwendoline awaits her fearful fate. Suddenly, in crashes Willard, straight through the window and in a hammed up fight scene he puts many a cheap oriental martial arts movie to shame, he kills off the gang before heading downstairs to play a game or two of roulette. Here he becomes ensnared into Gwendolines scheme to find her missing father—a butterfly collector. What follows its a Buck Rogers in the 25th century, meets The Lost World TV series meets King Solomons Mines and Barbarella colliding with Emmanuelle. If you can take that kind of ride then this is definitely for you. If they don’t appeal, you’ll hate this.
This is very much over the top slapstick comic book style humour in the Pulp Adventure genre, even sporting a Benny Hill type chase sequence at the mid point. The costumes are there to titulate providing plenty of bare breasts and buttocks –both male and female. It’s old school sexploitation but its light hearted. Take out the overt violence and crude swearing and this could quite easily have been aimed at a much wider audience.
The disc has a number of extras mainly in the form of commentaries, short film clips/traillers and stills which attempt to explain the thought process behind it all. .If you're expecting an Emmanuelle or Story of O soft porn flick, you'll be bitterly disappointed as it's all very much in the Benny Hill mould. But this is no classic like Barbarella, but the filming, props, sets and costumes all work well together and make this a solid **** rating

5.0 out of 5 starsSuperior Tosh
By Floydoid on 4 May 2009
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
What an absolute delight this movie is, and another masterpiece by director Just Jaeckin (Emmanuelle, Story of O). Based on a cult comic strip, the movie is well photographed and made in hilarious comic strip style. The story chugs along at a cracking pace with charming performances by the cute female leads (Tawny Kitaen & Zabou), and delightfully over-the-top turns by Brent Huff as the hunky can't-be-arsed hero, and the delicious Bernadette Lafont as the deranged Queen.

More female breasts on show here than you can shake a stick at, great sets and locations, superb fight scenes, some comic violence, and a great soundtrack which shifts effortlessly between dreamy romantic music and 1980's disco, all add up to make this an enjoyable watch. The story is complete tosh, but this is superior tosh!

4.0 out of 5 starsPure strip cartoon
By Nightwatcher on 4 April 2010
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This is an excellent film if you take it as an effort to transfer an erotic strip cartoon to the screen. Otherwise, the story line is a hacknied cliche, the acting terrible and the sets were obviously the smallest item in the budget(along with the ladies costumes), Apparently I am the only one to think that Tawny Kitaen, the female lead, bears an uncanny facial resemblance to Gina Davies. On balance the film is a flimsy excuse to oggle the scantily-clad female form. Absolutely nothing wrong with that, especially since any third-former has seen more than is on view here.
Its just pure fun and, considering the Director's other offerings, just a pleasure to watch.

5.0 out of 5 starsA guilty pleasure...
By Carl Denham on 17 Nov. 2010
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I had heard of this movie some years ago, and on and off had looked for a copy on VHS but never finding one I promptly forgot about it. Then very recently a good film buff friend from New Zealand recommended the DVD to me and I was able to get to see 'Gwendoline' in its full uncut glory...

This movie musn't be taken seriously, thats the point I don't think some people get when they watch it! It was never made as a 'serious' film, but simply as an enjoyable comic book. (it is based on a popular French comic strip 'The Adventures of Sweet Gwendoline') The story resembles something akin to Raiders of the Lost Ark or Romancing the Stone, but with more nudity and some strange scenes of S&M when our heroes enter the fabled land of Yik-Yak. Even so despite the directors other movies (Emmanuel and The Story of 'O') its sexual aspects are not really that gratuitous. This movie is very silly, sexy and funny, for both the right and wrong reasons... Look out for the man eating Crocodile folks!

The cast are well suited to acting in this sort of movie. Tawny Kitain, in her first role, looks great and tries her best to get into the part of Gwendoline. Brent Huff (Who?) is the macho lead, a reluctant hero come Han Solo wannabe whose more brawn than brains... indeed Huff's lack of acting skill is perhaps a bonus for this role... But tops for me was French actress and model Zabou as Gwendoline's trusty maid/sidekick Beth, who on the one hand is a real zany and kookie sort of girl. but then on the other can be uber-sexy and worldly wise... Wait until you see her wearing a palace guard's g-string unifom :-)

The other cast members encountered in Yik-Yak are great fun, especially the OTT Queen and the sets are also pretty good in my opinion.Read more ›
