Acclaimed filmmaker Bob Chinn is best remembered for his detective thrillers, but among his many talents was his ability to craft outrageously funny character driven comedies and tightly structured dramas. Presented here are two of his rarest and most entertaining such films.

In HARD SOAP, HARD SOAP: Penny and Linda are two happy housewives who just can't help but want to solve everyone else's personal problems. But Penny has big problems of her own, namely with her psychiatrist husband, Dr. John Holmes, whose romantic abilities have been unbearably hindered. As Penny and Linda find themselves besieged by a never-ending supply of perverts, weirdos, and other types of misfits they decide it's time to take matters into their own hands to return their lives to idyllic suburban bliss. HARD SOAP, HARD SOAP is an imaginative and original sex-filled satire of soap operas starring Candida Royalle, Laurien Dominique, John Holmes, Joan Devlon, and many more and has been newly restored in 2K.

In Disco Lady: It's Friday night at the hottest disco in town. Everyone who's anyone will be there. But not everything is fun and games, and as the evening's guests arrive, a series of sensual deceptions, twists, and surprises unfold, leading up to a shocking and unexpected conclusion. Effectively combining low key comedy with a thriller oriented structure, DISCO LADY stars Rhonda Jo Petty (Little Orphan Dusty) in her first role, alongside Mike Ranger and Rick Lutze and has been newly restored in 2K by Vinegar Syndrome.

Solid porn movie from the

"Solid porn movie from the time."

Two fun ones

"I had fun with both of these. A really good double feature. As always, the transfers looked soo good!"

— Jonathan M. (5/5)

Hey Lady, Disco Lady

"The short and tight Disco Lady is worth seeing because of Rhonda Jo. Hard Soap is a Bob Chinn flick which makes it immediately necessary. The assortment of beautiful women put on display by Mr. Chinn is something else. There's the incredible Sabrina in her only sex scene. And there's also Joan Devlon who looks incredible. The sets are super 70s, and the film is really high quality stuff (as should be expected from Bob Chinn)."

— Kevin C. (5/5)

Grab It!

"Nice release, fun film. I am still blown away by the sheer amount of these releases that VS puts out. It's a whole world of cinema to explore here."

— Eddie G. (5/5)

Like a John Waters Film!

"Lots of fun with this one. Candida Royale rules as always."

— Derek R. (4/5)

Ok

"First adult film that feels like a soap opera it was ok the performances were great just not really what I was expecting. Plenty of great scenes though."

— Ryan C. (3/5)

Candida is Comedy

""Hard Soap Hard Soap" is solidly amusing and entertaining until it dissipates with the usual several sequences of multiple partners and orgiastic chaos which is never amusig, entertaining nor even sexy. Candida Royalle (here billed as Candice Chambers) is comedy gold as the skeptical but willing neighbor who assists clueless but perky Lauren Dominique on her quest to solve her own sexual problems by helping others. "Disco Lady" is an added feature of the pointless and witless type that would never be resurrected on its own."
