Joe Young (Trey Parker) is a Mormon missionary who unsuspectingly knocks on the door of a Hollywood porn set. After whipping the thugs dispatched to remove him, he is recruited to replace the wimp lead in the superhero adult-flick 'Orgazmo.' Joe becomes a star when 'Orgazmo' becomes a hit, causing a battle of conscience between his Mormon ideals and his need to earn a living for him and his fiancee. Adding to his woes, his co-star Choda Boy builds a real Orgazmorator gun, and off-screen lives begin to mirror on-screen personas. A series of hilarious antics and parodies of classic kung-fu fights ensue as Orgazmo and Choda Boy become Hollywood's newest crime-fighters, with a unique way of subduing their foes.
"Massively inventive and spiked with perversely wicked humor." Emanuel Levy, Variety
"It's crude, rude, profane, and funny." James Berardinelli's ReelViews
"Blissfully outrageous." Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
Editor's Note
SOUTH PARK creator Parker stars as Joe Young, a Mormon missionary in Los Angeles who stumbles into the porn industry, where he's offered the part of sexual superhero Orgazmo. Joe stays so that he can raise enough money to marry his sweetheart, Lisa, but complications ensue when Orgazmo turns out to be a hit and Lisa discovers the hidden truth. A wacky farce for juvenile adults.

A consistently light yet derisive tone, modest production values, and masterful comic timing allow w - Lisa Alspector
Chicago Sun-Times 5 of 10
It is callow, gauche, obvious and awkward, and designed to appeal to those with similar qualities. I - Roger Ebert
