bowmanblue 'South Park.' What more needs to be said? If you aren't aware of the animated cartoon aimed at adults then you really should check it out. And, if you do (and you like it of course!), then you should then definitely check out 'Orgazmo.' It's written and starring South Park's two creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone and the film could almost be described as a 'live action version of the cartoon.' Basically, it's the same mixture of irreverent humour mixed with slapstick, f*rt jokes and a healthy dose of satire mixed with just enough heart to elevate it over your average 'gross out' comedy flick.So, just like South Park, the film opens mixing two of their favourite topics: adult circumstances and Mormons. We meet 'Joe' – just your average Mormon (played by Trey Parker) who's going from door to door in Los Angeles trying to spread the 'good word.' Now, he's well used to getting one door slammed in his face after the next. This is all just part of the life of a Mormon and he takes it with good grace, already affirming him as a decent – if only slightly annoying – character. However, he gets more than he bargains for when he knocks on the door of a house where an *ahem* 'adult' movie is being filmed inside. And, through a complete coincidence, they're on the lookout for 'new talent.' What follows is basically the story of a devote Mormon masquerading as a p*rn star. Now, that may be crazy enough, only they go one step further and transfer him into a crime fighting superhero who wields a ray-gun which, if hit by its beam, makes you… er… well, the clue is in the film's title.Now, 'Orgazmo' may not be the funniest film and it may not be the most well-written. However, what it lacks when the jokes and/or plot fall a little flat is heart. You just can't help but love the characters themselves. The good is truly good and the bad guys are just crying out to be thwarted. You will need to be quite broad-minded when it comes to what sort of humour you find funny. I've already mentioned the word 'adult' when talking about this film – and for good reason. Basically, if you're a fan of South Park then you should love this film as much as I do. It'll never rise to the heights as it's animated cousin, but it's definitely a cult classic that deserves an hour and a half of your time.The only drawback for me is that it's all Trey Parker and not enough of his co-creator Matt Stone. Stone is in it, but not enough for my liking (but what he does when he's there is typically awesome – and did I mention 'adult' in nature?).
PassPopcorn If you're even remotely interested in either comedy, animation or TV-shows, you must have heard of Trey Parker and Matt Stone – the genius creators of the famous South Park. But just like every other successful person, they had to start somewhere. Parker and Stone started their careers by creating low budget comedy movies. The first full-length movie they created was the 1993 black comedy named Cannibal! The Musical aka Alferd Packer: The Musical and then, several years after, in 1997, they finished the interestingly named comedy Orgazmo. Orgazmo, while not being a particularly good movie, is a good early example of Parker and Stone's distinguished sense of humour.Orgazmo is about a young Mormon named Joe Young (Trey Parker) who is in a happy relationship with his fiancée Lisa. They plan on getting wedded in some church or something, but unfortunately they have no money to do so. However, Joe, for no apparent reason, has extremely good fighting skills, which come in handy when a porn director named Maxxx Orbison (Michael Dean Jacobs) sees him beating up a couple of guys and decides to hire him in his newest porn/super-hero movie. Joe reluctantly accepts, but says he will only do the actual acting, none of the intercourse. They agree on using a 'stunt cock' to film all his sex scenes. And so Joe finds himself playing the title role of Orbinson's newest movie – Orgazmo.The premise of the movie is very silly and very 'South Park-esque', if I may add. But what works in animation, doesn't necessarily work in non-animated movies – especially when it comes to humour. And the humour in Orgazmo is very versatile – there's toilet humour, there's spoof humour, there's self-parodying (the movie deliberately looks bad from time to time) and there's original jokes. When a movie has so many different types of humour in it, it's hard to enjoy every one of them. The toilet humour is the one that bothered me the most and I found those jokes to be the least funny ones. Apart from that, I did laugh quite a few times.The acting in Orgazmo is classic 'low budget-trashy' and it doesn't want to be anything more. However, the interesting thing is that a big number of actors starring in Orgazmo are actual porn stars – the most prominent being Ron Jeremy and Chasey Lain. All in all, Orgazmo is just another trash movie that may be fun but truly isn't anything special. If you are a die hard fan of South Park/Trey Parker/Matt Stone, do check out this early creation, you'll probably be pleasantly surprised. As for the rest of you, the only thing that will quite possibly entertain you is Orgazmo's goofy title.Rating: 6/10 Read more at http://passpopcorn.wordpress.com/
Electrified_Voltage This was the second of two live action full-length movies "South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone made before they started their long-running adult cartoon series. I saw both of these films for the first time in 2005, after I had just gotten into SP. The first one, "Alferd Packer: The Musical" (a.k.a. "Cannibal! The Musical") really disappointed me, but I found that "Orgazmo", while definitely no match for SP (the show or the 1999 movie), was still pretty good. When I saw the first of the two last year, I still didn't think it was great, but thought it was much better than I did before. Now that I've also seen this one again, I can say I was still more impressed than I was when I saw its predecessor for the first time, but now think it's slightly inferior to Parker and Stone's first full-length project.Joe Young is a young Mormon missionary from Utah who is currently living in L.A., going from door to door and trying to spread the word of the Book of Mormon. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to have any luck, never getting any respect. He comes to one house which he doesn't realize is the home of a porn director named Maxxx Orbison, who happens to be shooting a film inside when Joe comes to his door. The missionary soon finds himself attacked by men who were sent out to kill him for interrupting the shoot, but manages to fight them all off. Maxxx is impressed with Joe's fighting skills, and offers him the starring role in his latest movie, the role of a superhero named Orgazmo! The only problem is that appearing in a movie like this goes against Joe's beliefs. Still, he reluctantly takes the part so he can get enough money to marry his fiancée, Lisa, who is still in Utah, in a temple. He still doesn't know if he's doing the right thing, and tries to keep the movie he is doing a secret from Lisa. However, the young Mormon doesn't realize he's being used by Maxxx, and when "Orgazmo" turns out to be a hit, he is in for trouble! At the beginning, Joe Young (played by Trey Parker), along with a fellow Mormon missionary are going from door to door, and this part is generally amusing, especially when they come to an elderly woman's door, and she swears at them. When I watched the film last night, I was at least mildly amused for the most part, despite how juvenile much of it is. Joe Young doing porn, despite his beliefs, leads to some amusing situations. Other characters add to the humour as well. These include Dian Bachar's character, Ben Chapleski, who plays Orgazmo's sidekick, ChodaBoy, as well as Matt Stone's character, Dave the Lighting Guy, and G-Fresh, the sushi bar owner played by Masao Maki, who played the Japanese Indian Chief in "Cannibal! The Musical". Not too many, if any, of this movie's gags could go down as classics, but many of them still made me laugh. Most of them didn't really put me off, though some of them did, such as three lame fart jokes, the "T-Rex" scene, and the closing sequence before the credits. I also didn't care much for the part where Joe and Ben go out with the "Orgazmorator" and start shooting it at people to see what happens. Mind you, what happens later in the film after they zap a guard dog with it made me laugh, even though I sort of got the feeling it shouldn't have.Despite what some people may assume, this is NOT a porno movie. It is a very crude comedy (as one would expect from Trey Parker and Matt Stone) with a lot of vulgar language and sex, but there's no full frontal nudity or anything. It's just barely more explicit than, let's say, an Austin Powers movie. However, it could still offend a lot of viewers, especially religious people, obviously including Mormons. Since it's from the creators of "South Park", this shouldn't surprise anybody. Most of their material is not for those who are easily offended. If you're an adult and are willing to laugh at crude, juvenile, tasteless humour, "Orgazmo" could amuse you, though it could also disappoint you. Overall, I think this is a reasonably funny, extremely silly romp, and I'm not sure if I should rate it 6 or 7. The main factor of my 6/10 rating is probably the ending, which I'm not going to give away, but I already pointed out before that it was a low point in the film for me. Despite its flaws, I can think of how much worse the film would have been if Tom Green had made it!
RainDogJr If you are looking at my IMDb comments page then you can see that right now I'm into South Park once again after some years of not watching very often the show. It was a coincidence to find Orgazmo on R4 DVD during these days, of course I wanted to watch this film since I knew about its existence and frankly was a complete and pleasant surprise to find at my local store, was a total surprise because I wasn't even searching it. So I was excited and now I can say that I'm not disappointed at all, for sure the South Park film is better and there's no doubt about it but Orgazmo is hilarious and I just loved it. Trey Parker wrote, directed and plays the lead role Joe Toung. Joe like Parker came to Hollywood but unlike Parker he came from Utah. It is the encounter of two different worlds, there you have elder Young, a sane Mormon man who just want to make his missionary work but thanks to people like you (I hope so) and I he will just get insults. And there you have Maxxx Orbison (Michael Dean Jacobs), a director in the porn industry having some problems while filming his new picture "Orgazmo" so the last thing he would like to have in that exact moment suddenly appears. Did I mention that elder Young is such an amazing fighter? Well that's the connection, elder Young has what the actor playing the character Orgazmo doesn't so suddenly elder Young has the chance to gain thousands of dollars for just few days of work. It is hilarious watching elder Young in the porn set being witness of a DVDA shoot, basically being afraid by anything. He hopes that Jesus understand his situation because after all he is using a stunt cock and he is making a porn picture just for the money and for sure his fiancée Lisa (Robyn Lynne Raab) is very happy for the thousands of dollars. His fiancée is just like him so of course she doesn't know about the film "Orgazmo" even when it became a big hit, now children plays with their Orgazmo toys! But Lisa is from Utah. I watched Boogie Nights like 6 months ago if not more and I remember one of the many great scenes. I think is when the character of Mark Walhberg is filming for the first time, in that scene both but specially Julianne Moore made such a terrific performance since they basically acted as bad as the acting is in a porn film, truly great. In Orgazmo this is not an important issue, in Orgazmo the great stuff comes from the elements of the porn film they are making and of course from the things that happens during the filming. There's also a subplot that is about what elder Young and Ben Chapleski (Dian Bachar), who is playing the partner of Orgazmo Choda Boy, do together after the filming. This subplot eventually will show to us a real life Orgazmo and Choda Boy and is funny but not as funny as the stuff that happens in the filming. The crew of Maxxx Orbison is great, they see their director like a f****** genius and they, well actually just Dave the photographer (Matt Stone) are always very excited. Stone is hilarious and his character makes one of my favourites jokes of the film (the naked mariachis sound like Depeche Mode!). Ron Jeremy plays the nemesis of Orgazmo in the first picture (he has a really memorable scene near the end during the final fight!) but for the sequel there's a new enemy, one we don't know how Orgazmo can defeat. Fortunately when the real problems begin Orgazmo and Choda Boy had already being outside the screen, now L.A. has its Superheroes but also its new villain! Yes Hollywood needs Trey and Matt.Simply put – IT'S JUST VERY FUNNY, yes I liked this film and I think I can watch it again some more times. Oh and I'm coping and changing a little the summary of user Bob the moo simply because I hate his comments.
