Only in L.A. could you make $1,000,000 at the laundromat.
That's what happens when Jay (Leigh McCloskey, Just One of the Guys) unknowingly stumbles into a drug deal at the local Laundromat and accidentally exits with a bag full of cash rather than his dirty laundry. When Macho Marty Benedictine (crooner Frankie Valli of the Four Seasons)finds out what has happened to his money, he puts out a contract on poor Jay, who still has no clean clothes.
Enter F.B.I. Inspector Zimbalist (Donald May, "The Edge of Night"), who sees this as an opportunity to catch his long-time nemesis Benedictine. Zimbalist sends his Miami Vice wannabe (Olympic gold medalist Carl Lewis) to follow Jay.
Meanwhile Jay meets Trish (Jeanne O'Brien) a beautiful sexy reporter, at a rock concert. Benedictine and part of the goon squad are at the concert too, and when they catch a glimpse of Jay, Benedictine orders Maurice (Sonny Bono, Hairspray), one of his goons, to break into Jay's apartment and find the cash. Instead Maurice discovers Larry (Olympic gold medalist Greg Louganis), Jay's girl-dripping surfer roommate.
What Follows is a hair-raising, constantly hilarious chase, with everyone after Jay and Trish. Will Benedictine's goons catch Jay? Will Jay ever get to rinse and dry in L.A. again? Will Trish get an engagement ring from Jay, or just ring around the collar?
Whisk thus wet and wild, action-packed comedy home and find out!

Press Quotes
Dirty Laundry features an LPCM 2.0 Mono track that sounds rather nice... source cues have good fidelity and surprisingly strong midrange and low end. Dialogue is rendered cleanly and clearly throughout... This is another release of a cult item where the supplementary interviews may provide at least as much interest as the main feature. Technical merits vary from decent if improvable (video) to very good (audio), for those who may be considering making a purchase.

The most interesting thing about the film is a few of the supporting cast members/cameos, which include Sonny Bono, Frankie Valli (possibly the high point of the movie, surprisingly) and olympians Greg Louganis and Carl Lewis? I suspect this is one of those movies that was on constant replay on late night HBO in the late ?80s, so nostalgic viewers may want to revisit it.
—Comic Watch
Hearty color shows intensity, the best asset of this release.
—Matt Poprocki, Doblu
It’s fun, well acted, and genuinely entertaining. I highly recommend this release from MVD.
—Blacktooth, Horror Society
MVD Rewind did us all a favor and resurrected Dirty Laundry from obscurity and has just put it out on Blu-ray and DVD.
—David J. Moore, The Movie Elite
The only saving grace for the film is that it captures the culture of the time in California, the disco dying out scene, hair metal bands, leggings and more.

That said, if you accompany yourself with the right people and maybe even a little liquid fun, this Big Mac-sized senseless chuckler may lead to one of your most memorable nights in quite some time. Worth A Look!
