It does.
Every now and then, Umberto Lenzi tries to show some nudity without showing what he's not allowed to. Ornela Muti was only 16, the nude scenes are indeed done with a body double. Since this faceless actress doesn't share the same morphology as Ornela, it does look extremely artificial. Worse of all, the same body-double is used for the 44 years old Irene Papas!
But without even considering the nude scene, I think a slightly older actress would have been better. These 2 lovers are supposed to be homeless hippies, living on their own since a long time (there's no reference to a fugue, a family or a school). They should be at least 18-19. For Ray Lovelock it works perfectly. He was 21 back then. Young enough to still be innocent and idealist, and old enough to live on his own, on the road. For the fight scenes, He looks just fine. But Ornela holding a gun is just... well... funny
Anyway, it's not a big deal. The movie is still good!
