Elephants in exploitation cinema often represent raw nature, memory, and power. Here, the “queen” who controls them becomes a castrating figure – her command over the largest land animal subverts male authority. However, D’Amato undermines this via gratuitous nudity and rape-revenge tropes, reducing potential feminist subversion to sensationalism.
The film stars adult performers Selen , Zenza Raggi, John Walton, and Amanda Steele. Plot Summary
One of his most curious late-career series was Queen of Elephants – a loose trilogy or set of standalone films exploiting the perennial male fantasy of powerful, sensual "queens" ruling over remote, unforgiving landscapes. The second chapter, often listed as Queen of Elephants 2: Sahara (original Italian title likely La regina degli elefanti 2 – Sahara , c. 1998–1999), is a prime example of D'Amato's ability to blend softcore sensuality, pseudo-ethnographic adventure, and pure cinematic escapism on a minuscule budget.
An ancient kingdom untouched by modernity, where sexual customs differ from Western morals. This allows for nude ceremonies, tribal dances, and harems.
