Interesting facts

  • Based on: The Wild Pussycat

Emanuelle's Revenge is an Italian film directed by Joe D'Amato. It is a remake of the Greek film The Wild Pussycat (1969). Unlike the French Emmanuelle series, to which it refers only in name, Emanuelle's Revenge has been described as being close to a sex-themed giallo, or as a combination of several genres: the rape and revenge film, the splatter film, the erotic film and the thriller. The film was written by Bruno Mattei and D'Amato. Bruno Mattei co-directed the film with D'Amato, but only D'Amato was credited.

Production

According to Bruno Mattei, the idea for the film was born when producer Franco Gaudenzi wanted to distribute a Greek pornographic film by Dimis Dadiras entitled The Wild Pussycat. Due to its explicit nature, the film would not have passed Italian censorship, which led to D'Amato and Mattei deciding to shoot a remake of it.

Parts of the score in Emanuelle's Revenge were reused from Gianni Marchetti's music for The Last Desperate Hours and Summer Affair (Il sole nella pelle).
