* ButIPlayOneOnTV: Creator/SylviaKristel said in a 2011 interview that the films were never good for her own sex life. "Maybe men were scared that I had a 12-hour programme of sex games planned and I would be rating their performance along the way," she joked.

* CreatorBacklash: In a 2007 interview, Creator/SylviaKristel said the scene where Emmanuelle is offered up as the prize to two competitors in a Thai boxing match was particularly distasteful. She said she still shudders to think of it. When the scene was first presented to her as a crucial part of her character's 'education', she said she attempted to argue with the director Just Jaeckin that no woman would find being raped enjoyable. "But it was very hard to explain that to a male director," she said. "He merely replied 'Yes, but it's in the book.' It was a very humiliating scene, and very difficult for me."

* BannedInChina: The film was originally denied permits to film in Thailand, in part due to its sexual content. The filmmakers only managed to do so by presenting an earlier, family-oriented version of the script they had no intention of shooting, and later pretending that they were merely shooting a documentary film of the local sites. In an interview, Sylvia Kristel said they filmed most of the sex scenes in secure locations. However they did get caught once. She and another woman were being filmed nude under a waterfall and the police turned up. They were thrown in jail for a night while the producers sorted everything out. But then they had an offer to help from a surprising source. It turned out the prince of Thailand was a huge fan of films and had his own studio built near the palace, so he let them use that for the rest of the shoot.

* FranchiseZombie: ''Emmanuelle'' was followed by countless sequels, none of them as successful or notable as the first one. The official and non-official rip-offs are difficult to keep track of, sometimes even to keep apart. As recently as 2011 a new spin-off series was launched! Even main actress Kristel's death in 2012 couldn't permanently halt this franchise.
