Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This 1988 version updates a 1985 original, swapping in clips from the final three years of Roman Porno's existence before Nikkatsu went bankrupt in 1993.
The 'Roman Porno' name itself was Nikkatsu's desperate rebrand of 'pink films' to sound arty—Italian romance meets Japanese exploitation, because nothing says class like a fake European pedigree.
