XXX:
Dirty Eyes
Peter Magnum
Created by Bob Chinn
Yet another of Bob Chinn's infamous X-rated dicks. Los Angeles
private detective PETER MAGNUM spends his days catching
bad guys, and his nights catching some very naughty girls. Of
course, no woman can resist Peter, or his, uh, charms.
Just like the promos say, "Peter Magnum picks up where
Johnny Wadd left off." Which isn't that much of a shock --
notorious porn producer Bob Chinn (think the Burt Reynolds character
in Boogie Nights) supposedly based Magnum on some unproduced
Johnny Wadd scripts he had laying
around. And Magnum pops up in another of Chinn's other flicks,
featuring his Mexican private eye Nick
Grande.P.I. flicks
Chinn was out of the business for thirteen or so years, when
another porn producer optioned an unfilmed Wadd script, which
was became Magnum Love. According to an article in Adult
Video News, Chinn confessed, "I wasn't thrilled with the
way it came out, so I decided that if I was going to continue
the Magnum series, I'd do it myself. So I did Jade Goddess
and Naked Angels (a Charlie's
Angels spoof, which kicks off a "Daughters of the
Dragon" trilogy) in four days, and here we are... It's a
lot easier (shhoting on video). Film was very expensive. A lot
of times, I wanted to do more takes, and the budget just wasn't
there, so we lived with what we had. Now, I can get it down to
the letter."
