Review of Orgazmo (1998) by Shane D — 17 Nov 2009

Orgazmo is the touching story of a humble mormon (Trey Parker) trying to come to terms with a world that doesn't except him. You buy that shit? No? I didn't think so.

Trey Parker plays Joe Young, a Mormon missionary in that den of sin and scumbags that we all know as Hollywood. Joe is in love with his fiance and would like nothing more than to be able to marry her in a Mormon temple in Utah, unfortunately for him they can't afford it (greedy ass Mormons). He sees his chance to earn the money he needs, but the catch is he has to star in a porno. He accepts the role with the condition that he doesn't actually have to perform the act of intercourse. So to get around this they use a stunt cock. The porno he ends up starring in is a superhero spoof called Orgazmo. It's about a guy with a machine on his arm that incapacitates people with orgasms, and it becomes a hit, not just amongst the pervs of the world, but an actual mainstream hit. His sidekick in the movie and only friend Ben Chapleski aka Choda Boy (Dian Bachar) develops an actual working version of the machine and they become a real life crime fighting duo. Kinda like Batman and Robin, if Batman had a ray that induced orgasms. If this all sounds ridiculous to you don't worry, because it is.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone have made a living offending people, and there's plenty of that to go around in this one. They made Orgazmo before they even started with South Park, but it wasn't released until after the success of the four boys from a little hick town in Colorado. It was impossible to market thanks to the M.P.A.A (Misguided Prick Assholes Association) slapping it with the dreaded NC-17 rating. But it's found its audience like all of the greatest movies do.
