A sexy romp through dingy city streets, jungles, desert wastes, and a mysterious kingdom. This is the story of one womans quest (Starring Tawny Kitaen as Gwendoline) to find her father who set off on his own mission to find a mythical butterfly. Apparently based off a 1940's adventure/bondage comic strip called "The Adventures of Sweet Gwendoline", this movie manages to capture the camp usually found in these types of books. The movie was directed by Just Jaeckin (Emmanuelle, Lady Chatterly's Lover), and stars Brent Huff as the mercenary convinced/charmed into joining Gwendoline on her journey into the unknown.
I had never heard of this movie until taking a trip to a rather popular but slightly overpriced reuse center in West Berkeley, CA. Upon entering the dusty warehouse, I immediately gravitated towards the displays to the left of the entrance that were overflowing with laser discs. These shelves contained many rare movies ranging from action to sci-fi to drama-to horror. With the help of a certain bearded friend who happens to possess a great taste in schlock, we commenced choosing only the finest movies. The prominent urban reuse center just so happened to be having a bit of a sale. 5 laser discs for 20 dollars. A steel in my opinion when dealing with an unpopular form of media where one has not heard of half the movies up for grabs. After much discussion we settled on our 5 discs. I was on the fence about most of the movies, but we both knew the TPOGITLOTYY was going to be gold. And gold it was.
