Programmer's Pick
If your taste runs to forbidden romance and Euro-Asian sexploitation, Yellow Emanuelle delivers both with a clinical bedside manner. Chai Lee's Emy Wong is the doctor with a prescription for tragedy and silk sheets, while Giuseppe Pambieri's pilot brings plenty of turbulence to the operating room.
