ALL THE WAY IN! (1984)

Despite her appearance being cheesecake, softcore, and simulated, Dick Aldrich certainly scored a coup when he got Russ Meyer starlet Kitten Natividad to star in Titillation and Eat at the Blue Fox, his two hardcore features from 1982 and 1983, respectively. But Bob Chinn, Aldrich’s friend and sometime collaborator, did him one better by landing […]

TAXI GIRLS (1979)

Buoyed by the notoriety of Little Orphan Dusty that did nothing but make tons of money for him, co-director Jaacov Jaacovi was anxious to get back into the mix and repeat the success with another project. As he had done with Little Orphan Dusty, he approached Bob Chinn to go in halves on the directorial […]

THE LOVE SLAVES (1974)

From one angle, Bob Chinn’s The Love Slaves (1974) is an early vehicle for John Leslie as he investigates the dark and shadowy criminal underworld which is using women to do its murderous bidding. From another, it’s an sex film in which the male lead has sex in the first five minutes and then, curiously, […]

LET’S GET PHYSICAL (1983)

Working from a Hyapatia Lee-penned script entitled Burning Point, itself somewhat inspired by Herbert Ross’s 1977 drama Turning Point, Bob Chinn clocked his final collaboration with both Lee and Caribbean Films with 1983’s Let’s Get Physical, a fairly straightforward domestic drama set in the world of ballet. Though it was first the unfortunate final line […]

BODY GIRLS (1983)

The bodybuilding craze of the 80’s and that decade’s focus on physical fitness are the cultural winds that sailed Body Girls into adult theaters in 1983. Another pop comedy by director Bob Chinn for Caribbean Films, it would be Chinn’s penultimate effort for the company and with Hyapatia Lee who was then on a meteoric […]

SWEET YOUNG FOXES (1983)

Much like 1982’s Baby Cakes and the same year’s The Young Like it Hot, 1983’s Sweet Young Foxes is lacquered with a sugary glaze that is similar to Director Bob Chinn’s female-centered output from 1976-1978, but it’s touched with a slightly more down-to-earth and knowing attitude regarding its characters, thanks in large part to a […]

THE YOUNG LIKE IT HOT (1983)

After a slew of troubled productions and crises of professional confidence that couldn’t have started the 80’s off in a worse way for him, Bob Chinn returned to Harry Mohney and Gail Palmer’s Caribbean Films in 1983 to helm The Young Like it Hot, a veritable showcase for the gorgeous Hyapatia Lee, a multi-award winning […]

HOT & SAUCY PIZZA GIRLS (1978)

“All I want in this life of mine is some good clean fun.” – Little Feat, “Fat Man in the Bathtub” Country Girl Pizza is the home base for Bob Chinn’s Hot & Saucy Pizza Girls, a freewheeling, deep-dish slice of gooey, west coast goodness from 1978. Set in a screwy and oversexed heightened reality, […]

PRISONER OF PARADISE (1980)

During an early scene in Bob Chinn’s Hot Legs (1979), modeling agency head Richard Pacheco is on the phone with his boss, played by Delania Raffina. The audience can only make out his side of the conversation as her side is built out of of shrieking, garbled nonsense that blares through the phone’s earpiece and […]

CALIFORNIA GIGOLO (1979)

At the beginning of Bob Chinn’s California Gigolo, a button-cute and tarted up Kandi Barbour makes eyes at John Holmes and they begin a strange back and forth tease that, after a suspended cable car ride, culminates at the top of a mountain. Cutting between the two as she gives him fadeaways and grins, John […]
