Orgazmo is a 1997 movie by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of the animated series South Park.
The plot of this comedy revolves around mild-mannered Mormon missionary Joe Young (Parker), who gets talked into starring in a porno movie. He agrees to star in the movie in order to earn enough money to marry his fiancée Lisa, in the Salt Lake City temple.
In the movie-within-the-movie, he plays a superhero named "Orgazmo" who fights crime (with his sidekick "Choda Boy", played by Dian Bachar) using his ability to make anyone climax with his "Orgazmorator". Following an agreement with the director, Joe acts and fights while a "stunt cock" does the rest. Orgazmo goes on to be a smash hit, and the director decides to exploit the missionary. Young's fiancée is upset at his role in the film and leaves, and is kidnapped by the director to ensure Young's participation in further filming.
Young then decides to fight back using a real orgazmorator invented by his friend, and actually gains the powers his character purportedly had. He uses these powers to bring down the corrupt film-maker and reunite himself with his fiancée.

[edit] Trivia
- The movie was actually shot and completed in 1996.
- In the scene in the video store (the one when Lisa finds out that Joe has been doing porno films), the first shot shows the top row of a movie section. Contained in this row are all movies by Troma Studios. Troma owns the rights to Trey Parker's first film, Alferd Packer: The Musical (1996) (aka Cannibal! The Musical). Parker has also noted Troma as inspiration for his style of filmmaking and for South Park (1997).
- When Lisa first enters the video store, a scene from Alferd Packer: The Musical can be seen on the TV.
- When Lisa is looking through the video store, under "Epics", the videotapes are as follows, in this order: Birth Of Jesus; Jesus Of Nazareth; Jesus The Healer; Jesus Of Nazareth (again); Jesus Scissorhands; Pulp Jesus; The Good, The Bad, Jesus; and Raging Jesus.
- T-Rex's voice is dubbed by an uncredited Trey Parker. The same is true for Maxxx Orbinson's employee who is on the phone when Sancho comes in.
- Most of the bad guys are named after people with the first name Roy: Maxxx Orbison is named after Roy Orbison; Rodgers is named after Roy Rogers; Ron Jeremy's character, Clark, is named after Roy Clark; and A-Cup is a take-off on the name Roy Acuff.
- The clips from the movie that are seen playing in the video store were taken from a fake trailer for the film, made by the filmmakers before production ever started, which was shown to potential financial backers to try to raise money to make the film. (This is discussed in the "drunken commentary" feature on the DVD)
- The comic book pictures shown are actually reproductions of classic comic book moments with heroes like Superman, Spider-Man, and Captain America replaced by Orgazmo.
- Trey Parker and Matt Stone had originally intended for the film to be a musical; like their previous film, Cannibal! The Musical. Unfortunately, they had trouble enough finding investors for the unusual story of Orgazmo on its own, so that idea was dropped.
