Gwendoline arrives in China in a box, and is helped out of her immediate predicament by a female contact and a devil-may-care adventurer. She’s on a mission to find her father, who was last seen searching for a rare butterfly in the Land of the Yik Yak. They confront the evil Cheops in an attempt to find Gwen’s lost father and the butterfly, and face many other challenges to their mission.
This has been called INDIANA JONES meets BARBARELLA but it’s so much more. By ignoring the comic book, Jaeckin has, ironically enough, preserved the graphic form on film. He is, after all (and first and foremost) a fashion photography so his arrogance of story structure leads to the best eye candy you’ll see in a long while. Sequences from this film may have resembled Jodorowsky’s aborted Dune project had it ever have been made!
