Indeed, it&#8217;s genuinely distressing to know that this film has a cult of diehard followers who find nothing wrong with what they refer to as its &#8220;campy&#8221; sex and violence; why in the world would people choose to sit through something this distasteful? (Clearly I&#8217;m not the target audience.) Unfortunately, I&#8217;ll eventually have to subject myself to a bit more, given that Peary lists one of the sequels &#8212; <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=25578\"><em>Ilsa, Harem Keeper for the Oil Sheiks<\/em> (1976)<\/a> &#8212; in the back of his book, despite openly referring to it as &#8220;worse&#8221;.
