Joe D’Amato
It looks like you’re referencing (a prolific Italian director known for horror, erotic, and exotic films) and possibly a title like Queen of the Elephants 2: Sahara — which isn’t a widely known official film, but might be a working title, a fan edit, or a misremembered entry from his vast filmography (e.g., Emanuelle in the Country , Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals , or his desert-set adventures).
Note:
This review is written from the perspective of a cult/exploitation film enthusiast, acknowledging the director’s niche style and the film’s low-budget origins.
Synopsis In the scorched expanse of the Sahara, where sand meets horizon and law is as shifting as the dunes, an illicit caravan smuggles contraband ivory under the flag of an ostensibly decaying desert kingdom. At its center is Zara, a fiercely independent woman known among desert folk as the "Queen of Elephants" — a mythic hunter-conservationist figure who rides a massive bull elephant named Khamir and commands tribal loyalty. The second chapter of her legend — Sahara -19 — unfolds when a corporation-backed expedition arrives with high-tech equipment, mercenaries, and a shadowy agenda: to dig into an ancient subterranean site said to hold both untold riches and a terrible climate-locked secret.

D’Amato’s direction, even in lower-budget adult films, often retained a sense of composition. He frames the body as a landscape, merging the human form with the "natural" setting of the title. However, the urgency of the production schedule—typical of his output in this decade—often led to a more functional, less atmospheric visual style compared to his horror or soft-focus erotic masterpieces.
Cultural Reception (Hypothetical) If released in D’Amato’s era, "Queen of Elephants 2: Sahara -19" would likely have been marketed to late-night drive-in circuits and VHS racks as pulpy entertainment — drawing cult admiration for its audacity, criticized for its exploitative edges, and debated by scholars for its ambivalent portrayal of conservation and colonial dynamics. Retrospective viewings might treat it as a curiosity: a movie that visualizes environmental collapse as pulp prophecy while centering a formidable female lead amid exploitation tropes.
