An era of its own. A time when American was in a transition from separatism to civil rights. The 70's was a Golden Age on so many levels and the influence echoes around the world in present day. Blaxploitation is considered in my opinion to be the coolest of cool. Touching on the most sensitive material in America at its time and exploiting them on the big screen or the vinyls in your record player produced for a glorified genre that nobody will ever be able to duplicate. Our mission at Blax-Pride is to educate those who are unfamiliar with this era and combine knowledge with those who are familiar.
Also you will notice Kung Fu movies on this site as well. What does this have to do with Blaxploitation? Well, the more action packed Blaxploitation films did not just street fight. Oh no.....they thought they were Kung Fu Masters. Chinese martial art movies gave a sense of invincibility to these actors. Seeing how cool it was to be a masterful fighter, why not just integrate this with Pimpin', Hustlin', Jive Talkin' and Pam Grier? Blax-Pride!!!

Hotness! Need I say anymore?
A supermodel in a mental institution with amnesia? Not an original storyline nor is it fiction. If you were to throw a stack of Vogue magazines on the floor, close your eyes, and point to a random cover girl this may be her true Hollywood story (surely, I jest).
It was difficult to find a scene where actors were clothed but I'm certain this film for the voracious eye will be chock full of the most delicious exploitation this side of rated R "skinema". Enjoy Shulamith Lasri AKA Sharon Lesley portraying Emanuelle Nera. Her looks and body is nothing short of "voluptulicious" (that's right! She gets a special adjective!). I did some research on Miss Lasri (Lesley) and she is nowhere in the digital realm so far. Anyone who would like to join the hunt to see what happened to her feel welcome as I'm anxious to hear. Black Emanuelle was Shulamith's only credit as far as IMDB is concerned.
This is the only credit she needs in my righteous opinion. I've watched this film time and time again and STILL don't know what it's about because once you see Shulamith, all plot and character development is thrown out the window!! To our male audience at BP, thank me later!
Shulamith, wherever you are, may the force be with you (Bootsy "Jedi Funk Tricked" me into saying that).
