On "Seinfeld", what movie video was stolen out of the smelly car?

On “Seinfeld,” the movie video stolen out of the smelly car was “Rochelle, Rochelle.”

The incident occurs in “The Smelly Car,” the 20th episode of Seinfeld’s fourth season. Jerry’s BMW becomes unbearably foul after a valet parks it, and the odor refuses to disappear even after cleaning attempts. During the chaos, a videotape of the fictional movie Rochelle, Rochelle is taken from the car.

Rochelle, Rochelle is one of Seinfeld’s recurring fictional films. Its deliberately melodramatic subtitle—“A Young Girl’s Strange, Erotic Journey from Milan to Minsk”—is repeatedly mentioned throughout the series. The title is a parody of the kind of supposedly serious European art film that characters might discuss pretentiously.

A common mix-up is confusing the stolen tape with another fictional Seinfeld movie, Lesbian Vampire Killers 2, or with the movie George watches in other episodes. Rochelle, Rochelle is specifically the videotape connected to Jerry’s malodorous BMW.
