LIPPS & MCCAIN (1978)

With a handful of noirs, a couple of comedies, a sexploitation horror film, and a weed/musical/road picture, Bob Chinn really cut through the genres in the 70’s like no other filmmaker in the adult world (and only like a precious few in the mainstream world). Perhaps outdoing them all, Chinn served up an honest-to-goodness western […]

NICE N’ TIGHT (1985)

An effervescent rush of otherworldly decency runs through the center of Bob Chinn’s Nice N’ Tight, the second feature in his two picture deal for Tara Video in 1985. Like Blondie, the other film Chinn made for Tara and likewise released the same year, Nice N’ Tight was shot on 16mm for the still-functioning European […]

CANDY STRIPERS (1977)

Describing the plot of Bob Chinn’s Candy Stripers pretty much boils down to its elevator pitch: “in the course of an eight-hour day shift, a bunch of horny doctors, nurses, and patients fuck the hospital thirty five degrees off its foundation. That’s it. That’s the movie.” But if that explanation sounds like some thin, porn-ready […]

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 […]

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, […]

HOT LEGS (1979)

The hectic and harried world of a modeling agency is the backdrop for 1979’s Hot Legs, Bob Chinn’s third picture for Gail Palmer and Harry Mohney’s Caribbean Films. A beautifully handled light spritzer of a picture, Hot Legs also proves to be smarter than the average bear with its insight into the high pressure world […]

HARD SOAP, HARD SOAP (1977)

One of the true joys of vintage hardcore is that the films are generally better time capsules than most any piece of entertainment from the period save and except daytime talk and game shows. A lot of times, the films made in the adult industry were written, produced, and released within mere weeks meaning that […]
