Gwendoline - Unrated Director's Cut (1985)

Question about movie??

What is added to this that the VHS version did not have?? Directors cuts are hit and miss. Sometimes they are worth buying for the added material and sometimes not. Is this worth buying with the added material?? December 1, 2008

Not quite Barbarella

Tawny and her castmates lose their clothes early, how could you pass that up? The movie is in the same vein as Barbarella, Barb Wire, Laura Croft, etc, but not on the same level. November 12, 2008

Getting to the point

Yes, those scenes you wanted to see that weren't in the original release are there.

They're just very very brief.

I wanted to see this film after seeing it in Prevue magazine before it was released, and when I finally saw the VHS version, virtually none of the scenes those stills came from were in it. As I said, they're in this version. Although one or two moments from the original cut of the dungeon scene seem to be missing, nothing terribly important is gone.

This is a VERY bare bones release. There's nothing in the box except the disk itself. It's mastered in some kind of widescreen format that had me reaching for the format button on my remote. I think on a regular TV you'd be stuck with the Cinemascope effect. November 1, 2008

Good!

Strictly B movie. Well, a C movie, but hey, Tawny Kitaen is either topless or nude all thru the movie! June 28, 2008

HIGH CAMP FETISH FUN

This original movie was simply a joy to see in the 1980's. My husband had a crush on Tawny, never missing her on "WKRP (?)In Cincinnati." So...when I spotted the VHS on a video store shelf one day back then, I grabbed up a copy immediately as a surprise for him. We had great fun watching it together. Believe me, I didn't get this movie with any expectation of cinematic excellence in mind. I just knew that my husband would get a kick out of seeing his favorite TV celebrity, Tawny Kitaen, naked on screen. I was curious too. Frankly though, I personally found Tawny's sidekick, Zabou cuter and more enticing than the star herself, but have never seen her since. I went out and bought a leather bustier the very next day. Compare this film with the much ballyhooed 9 1/2 Weeks or Eyes Wide Shut. YOU tell me which are sexier more fun to watch? I was just sad that this movie wasn't BAD enough and ended too soon. Tawny Kitaen could have built a lucrative career for herself simply making sequels to this film.... by continuing with the erotic adventures of Gwendoline. Pop entertainment doesn't have to empress the self-anointed film critics in order to be good. It simply needs to capture the imagination of its target audience. This film does that......even 23 years after it was made. June 21, 2008
