What happens

Orgazmo is a 1997 American superhero sex comedy film written, directed and edited by Trey Parker and produced by Matt Stone, Jason McHugh, and Fran Rubel Kuzui. It stars Trey Parker, Matt Stone, Dian Bachar, Robyn Lynne, and Michael Dean Jacobs. The plot follows Joe Young (Trey Parker), a devout Mormon missionary who, to pay for his and his fiancée's dream wedding and home, acts in a pornographic film as the superhero Orgazmo with his side-kick Choda Boy (Dian Bachar). The film was conceived by Trey Parker, with collaborators Matt Stone and Jason McHugh, as a raunchy satire reflecting their own move from Colorado to Hollywood, using the sex industry as a backdrop to heighten its absurdity. Though initially met with resistance from major studios, the film was ultimately funded partly by a Japanese porn company and secured distribution through October Films. While Orgazmo received mixed reviews, and struggled at the box office after receiving an NC-17 rating from the MPAA, it endures as a cult film among fans of Parker and Stone's South Park.
