DVD Description

The music video for Duran Duran’s WILD BOYS, directed by Russell Mulcahy, was inspired by scenes from Gwendoline.


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 stars A great transfer of an under-rated 1980's favourite, 5 April 2008
By I. R. Kerr (Lancashire) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars 80's masterpiece revitalized !, 4 Jul 2006
By Mr. Ae Rayner "aerayner" (hampton UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
From the impressive opening title of a Nucleus films production you can be assured of something special -brilliant crisp picture quality in gorgeous widescreen would have you believe that this film was shot in 2006, not 1984 ! Obvious loving care has gone into the presentation of this release, now available uncut, details of which are covered in the generous special features. There's an enlightening interview with director Just Jaeckin entitled Perils of Just + audio commentary which should answer any other questions you might have about the production ! Regarding the tag line of Barabarella meets Indiana Jones I could coin a new term of `erotic - action - comedy', although it would be a bit unfair to pigeon - hole the movie as it's unlike anything I've seen before ! It starts by resembling a Hong Kong movie as our 2 heroines get involved with a bunch of crazy Chinese while trying to enlist help to find Gwen's butterfly collector Dad! American actor Brent Huff (as Willard) is coerced into assisting & shortly thereafter the threesome are captured by natives...to give any more away would be to spoil it as the film changes gear again when the trio arrive at the land of the Yek Yeik ! The 2 leading ladies are totally delectable, Tawny Kitaen being recently remembered as Deainiera, wife of Hercules in the hit TV series, whilst Zabou ( a deliciously elfin like French girl) has a prolific resume of work in Europe.
The eye catching photos used for the front & back covers of the DVD are enough to whet the appetite & the inclusion of trailers for other releases by Messrs Marc Morris & Jake West only serve to motivate the viewer to seek out future films from this new & exciting company !
Grab a copy & enjoy a great evening's entertainment !

5.0 out of 5 stars Superior Tosh, 4 May 2009
By Floydoid (Norwich, UK) - See all my reviews
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!
