And here’s my recap and review of the 6th disc from this DVD box set. Produced by Alain Siritzky and directed by Jean-Jacques Lamore, and written by J.C. Knowlton, starring the one-of-a-kind Krista Allen as Emmanuelle.
This disc focuses the most on Emmanuelle and Haffron (Paul Michael Robinson). The two of them visit a temple in Greece, but for some reason, Emmanuelle takes the form of another woman, played by Jennifer Burton. They invite the rest of the crew down and dressed in togas, they all have a banquet in the temple. Then, at some point, it changes to Haffron and Emmanuelle, still played by Jennifer Burton, in a bathtub naked, kissing and caressing each other while Cara and Jay wash them with soap. The other couples spit up and start having sex around them. It’s an interesting scene, but it is hard to focus on any one couple when the camera is panning around them all. Afterward, the crew goes back to the ship while Haffron and Emmanuelle stay behind and then have sex. That whole sequence would have been better if it had featured Krista Allen, although I like Jennifer Burton.
After that, Haffron and Emmanuelle, back to being Krista, go back to the ship. Haffron says that it’s getting close to time for his crew to leave Earth. Emmanuelle suggests a final world tour. They start off by teleporting to a boat in the ocean, and we get a really hot scene of them having sex on a bed. Then Haffron steps away for a moment, and Tascha (Tiendra Demian) joins her on the bed and they have sex.
Next episode starts with Haffron and Emmanuelle taking a shower together, then getting back into bed and having sex again. Afterward, they’re both getting hot, so Emmanuelle suggests they teleport to a cabin in the Rocky Mountains, where it’s colder. When they get there Haffron is too cold, so Emmanuelle warms him up with more sex. And then they teleport to a train in China. While on the train, a government soldier starts coming from room to room checking passports. Haffron goes off to hide and runs into Commissioner Li Tsiu (Priscilla Choi), last seen in A World Of Desire. She takes him into her room and they have sex on a couch. Afterward, he goes back to Emmanuelle’s room.
Haffron and Emmanuelle teleport to another cruise ship. They have sex twice, plus there’s another scene of Emmanuelle in the shower, although they mostly have her behind the shower door, so we don’t see as much as we have in previous shower scenes. There’s also a bit where another passager on the ship breaks into their room while they’re out and steals Haffron’s teleportation/transmorph device and they have to get it back from him. Plus, there’s a subplot where Theo (Timothy Di Pri) accidentally damages the spaceship’s cloaking device, meaning that government satellites can track them and send fighter jets after them, so he, Cara (Debra K. Beatty), Raymond (Reginald Chevalier) and Tasha (Tiendra Demian) how to figure out how to get it working again before they’re discovered and destroyed.
Spoiler alert – they succeed, and Haffron and Emmanuelle return to the ship. And now, it’s time for them to say their final goodbyes…
This is my favorite disc in the series. Krista and Paul’s chemistry is off the charts, and their sex scenes together here make this entire box set worth buying just for this one disc. I highly recommend it. FIVE STARS

That scene with Li Tsiu is striking. So, Haffron, this white guy, and Emmanuelle, a white woman, end up teleporting onto a train in China. Right when they’re faced with Chinese authorities, Haffron just bails, leaving Emmanuelle behind. While hiding out, he crosses paths with Li Tsiu, an Asian woman, and they end up having sex on the train. At one point, an Asian guy notices them, but Li Tsiu shuts him down, calling him an ‘impotent fool.’ Afterward, Haffron ditches Li Tsiu, goes back to Emmanuelle, and lies to her about what happened. They have sex, but it’s in an actual bed in a house—totally different from the transient, secret sex on the train couch with Li Tsiu. This whole scene really captures how narcissistic white guys see Asia and Asian women as these thrill-filled adventures, while keeping everything secret from their white women partners.

That is certainly one way to take that episode.
All I really is know is that the Priscilla Choi scene was hot. I wish she’d done a lot more softcore, she could have been a big star in the genre.

That wouldn’t have happened because Priscilla Choi is Asian. Asian women is one fleeting fling (as the name of this disc suggests) or a casual dalliance for the white guy. The main character and love interest is always a white woman.

Well I can’t quite agree with that, while I do wishthere were more Women of Color (especially Black women) in the softcore genre, there have been some prominent Asian actresses. Christine Nguyen certainly had a long career, with many supporting and starring roles. Syren was also in a bunch of big roles, as was Michelle Maylene. Nicole Oring, Charmane Star, Kaylani Lei, that’s just off the top of my head.

I was specifically talking about the Emmanuelle series. If we’re talking about softcore and hardcore in general, yes, there are some Asian actresses, but I think a lot of them could’ve been more famous or gotten more main roles if they were white. It’s probably because of that old racist stereotype of Asian women being hypersexualized and submissive, which makes them more accepted and desired by white men compared to other minority women.
Like I said before and you agreed, that episode really drives home a point about Asian women and white men: Asian women are treated as sidekicks or flings, while white women are seen as the ones who belong in “proper” relationships with white men. The episode also emasculates Asian men, even calling them “impotent fools.” I really like the Emmanuelle series, but the racist narrative in this episode really gets to me. If they ever make a new Emmanuelle series, I’d hope that after 30 years, we’d get something that treats people as individuals, not just categories.
