Review of Orgazmo (1998) by Stuart K — 01 Feb 2011
Just before they hit it big with South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone did this little oddity. They turned up in Hollywood from Colorado with the no-budget Troma flick Cannibal! The Musical (1996) to their name.
This was their second film, and it's a hilarious satire at the porn industry. It has Mormon missionary Joe Young (Parker), who is doing Mormon work in Hollywood in order to pay for a wedding to his fiance Lisa (Robyn Lynne Raab).
On his rounds his ends up at the house of porno mogul Maxxx Orbison (Michael Dean Jacobs), Orbison talks Young into acting in his latest porn film, Orgazmo. Even though the film goes against Joe's beliefs, he signs up for it.
In the film Joe plays superhero Orgazmo, who fights crime with Choda Boy played by Ben Chapleski (Dian Bachar), and a weapon called the Orgazmorator. Turns out Ben has built a real one which Joe and Ben have fun with.
However, it turns out Orbison is out to exploit Joe and make more Orgazmo films, but Joe wants out, especially when Lisa finds out the truth of what he's been up to. At the heart of all the smut and filth going on in this film, it is a good fun film, it's done on the cheap, it does show, but that just adds to the charm.
It's a pity Parker and Stone haven't done more films, they showed great confidence here.
