Bruno Mattei. Claudio Fragrasso. This was the sequel to Libidomania, or as the Italians called it, Sesso perverso. This was to be directed by Joe D’Amato and edited by Bruno, but he demanded that if he was forced to work on a mondo — so they say — he had to direct it. I imagine Joe just laughed and nodded, then went off and made ten movies in three days.

This time, the movie explores the world of adult films, but as you’d expect with a mondo, it’s all fake. Fake couples telling fake stories about their fake lives, then women eat ice cream in dirty ways, and the movie spends too much time exploring the deviant practice of homosexuality, which, come on, this is 1980, guys. It’s not even remotely deviant. Does it sell pictures any longer?

Speaking of mondo and fake, the end has reporters saving one of their own, a half-nude woman, from a woman who has already had a meal of her husband, who is now a rotten corpse covered by maggots because look, if we Italians love anything more than sex, violence and fake foreign footage, it’s either real animal violence or maggots. I’d rather have maggots, and then another native is castrated while the once captive reporter does a striptease.

Italian adult star Guia Lauri Filzi (who was uncredited and yet played a very memorable role in Emanuelle In America as the actress in the snuff film) and Maurizio Tanfani (Sex of the Witch, Mattei’s AD on The Other Hell) appear, and if you find the right version—look, 20 people or so have even cared about this on Letterboxd, so probably not—there are inserts.
