The basic stuff

What is Orgazmo about? It's a comedy of a young Mormon's encounter with the porn industry. Joe Young goes to spread the Word of God door-to-door, as Mormons do, and finds himself sharing the Word with some porn stars. When security starts hassling him he defends himself with some martial-arts moves that get the film director's attention. Soon, he's taking part in a porn click in order to raise some money so he can marry his fiancée back in Utah, and the rest is his transformation into Captain Orgazmo.

Who stars in it? Trey Parker as Joe Young / Tom Hung / Orgazmo. Maxxx gives Joe the stage name "Tom Hung," but calls him "Joe Hung" later on. The AVN Award presenters get it right, though. Matt Stone as Dave, the Lighting Guy Dian Bachar as Ben Chapleski / Choda Boy

What does DVDA stand for? Double-Vaginal, Double-Anal. Porn stars earn big bucks for performing that sexual feat.

Why did Matt and Trey call their band DVDA? Who was in it when they made "Now You're A Man" for the movie? DVDA at the making of the film were: Trey Parker — vocals, keyboards Matt Stone — drums Bruce Howell — guitar

They liked the name (see previous question), and they didn't want some mainstream name.

Why was Orgazmo rated NC-17 if there were no actual sex scenes in there? There's an unrated version as well. What, if any, are the differences between the two? That has expanded to merit its own table. See the table below.

Behind the scenes

How did Trey get fit for the film? Slim Fast. Seriously.

How did Trey get all the porn stars for the film? He workred with associate producer Farrell Timlake, who is the porn star Tim Lake and who runs homegrownvideo.com and xplor media, two huge porn production houses. Jason McHugh met Farrell at Porn Shoot and introduced him to Trey. They went and did a lot of porn shoots before they shot Orgazmo, some of which are Profiles for the Young and Horny and Sex for Life.

Before Ruby Hart was cast as T-Rex, a famous fat porn star named Eartha Quake was considered for the role. Why was she dropped? Trey and Matt sought her our for the role, but when they found her she had lost all the weight they had to hire Ruby Hart, a fat lady stripper, instead. Had Quake been cast after all, she would have played herself, not T-Rex. Matt and Trey came up with "T-Rex" the day the scene was shot. And, porn names usually parody real names - "Eartha Quake" parodied "Eartha Kitt."

What about Georgi? She was supposed to be played by Davia Ardell, but Toddy Walters took her place. Davia Ardell makes a special appearance, though, and Georgi Girl is based on her. Davia played Liane in the Cannibal! the Musical stage play. Jason McHugh got to have sex with her.

What about Maxxx Orbison? Ron Jeremy was to play him, but Michael Dean Jacobs was chosen for it. Ron Jeremy is Clark / Jizzmaster Zero in the film.

What about ACup? Chris Borkovec, one of Trey's childhood friends, was to play ACup, as the part was meant for a man his size, but David Dunn read so well for Trey during his reading that he was hired for the part.

How was Dian coaxed to play Choda Boy? Why did he have second thoughts? Dian wanted to do Orgazmo at first, but then Trey said he had to wear a dildo on his head and Dian decided to back out. Jason had to talk to him on the phone for many hours a day to try and talk him into coming to california to play the role. Dian claims that Trey made him wear a dildo just to piss him off because he called Trey a faggot at some party. Trey says that is not true, but thought it funny that Dian thought that. Trey says the main reason he did Orgazmo was to just see Dian with a dick on his head.

How did Trey know to portray Mormonism the way he does in Orgazmo? He used to date a Mormon girl.

Was Orgazmo intended to be something other than a comedy in its development? Orgazmo was going to be a musical, but they couldn't get the money for it if it were made as a musical.

They look familiar...

Stan Sawicki? (Robert White) Stan played Skidmark Steve in Baseketball. Stan is also a high school buddy of Matt Stone. He's done two voices in South Park.

Robyn Lynn Rabb? (Lisa) A Disney commercial. Big surprise, huh?

Louise Rapport? (Old Lady) Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo, among other things. Her filmogrpahy is here.

Masao Maki? (G-Fresh) He was chief of the Nippon Indian tribe in Cannibal! The Musical. He is a real sushi chef and restaurant owner in Boulder, CO. He wrote Spiritual Adventures of a Sushi Chef after finishing up with Orgazmo.

Trivia

How many Roys in Orgazmo? Three, all of them bad guys. Andy (Kemler) plays Rogers (after Roy Rogers), Mike (Michael Dean Jacobs) plays Maxxx Orbison (after Roy Orbison), and David (Dunn) plays ACup (who was supposed to be Acuff Roy Acuff, but Trey messed up on the name)

Was the Orgazmorator always the Orgazmorator? No. Originally it was the Orgazmotron, but a similar name, orgasmatron (a booth), was used as a substitute for sex in Woody Allen's 1973 film Sleeper.

Where did that phallic trophy Joe won come from? That penis guy trophy was given to Matt and Trey by John Landis as a gift of friendship when they first met him. They told him that they would put the trophy in one of their films and they did!

What were Elders Young and White humming as the film begins? "Onward Latter-Day Soldier," which is also the background music playing at the time. It also plays when Joe and Ben are in the Orgazmobile, and at the end credits as "The Morman Song." Onward, Latter-Day Soldier, spread the Word of Christ,

And Heavenly Father's vision of everybody being really nice.

He sent his Son to die for me. He didn't have to do that.

Onward, Latter-Day Soldier, spread the Word of Christ! It is a parody of that great Christian classic, "Onward, Christian Soldiers."

In the dream sequence, when Joe is reminiscing about being with Lisa, what was he telling her by the fireplace? When Trey and Robyn are drinking milk by the fire place, Trey is telling the "Puss Sucker Bill" joke. He is also telling his horse this same joke in Cannibal! the Musical! It use to be his all time favorite joke. Now "the aristocrats" is his all time favorite joke. What is "Puss Sucker Bill" about? Read on... A woman walks into the doctors office with a huge boil on her ass. The doctor squeezes it, pushes it, and then looks at the hard white pus core. He says, "This is too big a job for me," so he sends her to Pus Sucker Bill. The woman goes to Bill who looks at the bulging red, inflamed boil festering with pus and says, "This is no problem," and he proceeds to press his lips to her ass and sucks out the pus and core of the boil. Halfway through, the woman drops a mammoth fart. Bill stops what he's doing, looks up and says "You know lady, it's people like you who make this job fucking disgusting."

Why is Trey called Elder Joe Young? For Brigham Young, founder of Brigham Young Uinversity (BYU) and a successor of Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism.

Is Dave, the Lighting Guy, based on anyone? Yes. He is based on real life porn photograper Dave Stotts. Matt wears Dave's actual jeans in the film.

Who are the three people Elders Young and White come across before showing up at Maxxx Orbison's mansion? First up is Jacobus Rose, the film's producer. Second is Susan Timlake, Ferrell Timlake's wife, carrying their baby. Third, the one who called them pigfuckers, is Louise Rapport. Her bit is so cut up because they had to do several takes of her swearing. She had a hard time with the lines.

What do the tags on Elders Young and White say on them? Their title and last names, and "Church of Iatter day aints." Turns out you need permission to use a written form of a word or phrase on film, like "Church of Latter-Day Saints" or "McDonald's" (or risk a lawsuit), but not to say the word or phrase.

Why are the characters eating out of boxes of Happy Tarts? They've been mentioned in South Park. Ever consider making them into real snacks? The name "Happy Tarts" is a parody of "Pop Tarts." They tasted terrible, so making them into real snacks is out of the question.

Was that really T-Rex's voice? No. Trey did the voice-over for T-Rex. If you've heard Ms. Choksondik on South Park, you've heard a cleaned-up version of T-Rex.

Who is treating Maxxx Orbison's genitals at the end of the film? Lloyd Kaufman, president of Troma Films. He is credited as Stanley L. Kaufman.

Where did the phrases "Jung quang doh" and "Yotuki" come from? They are also heard in the short "The Spirit of Christmas." Trey and Chris Borkovec, a childhood friend, came up with the phrases. Chris plays the cop who gets shot with the orgazmorator and starts humping the guy he is frisking. Chris is a cop in real life as well.

Who is... Sancho? Sancho was a character that Trey and Andy Kemler came up with one night at a party on acid.

Where did Trey learn the martial arts moves he used on Orbison's security guards? Trey studied Tae Kwan Do from about age 11 to age 15, but had to relearn some of it for the movie. He has a black belt in it.

Who actually plays "Twisted Steel/Leather Donut"? I've seen it attributed to DVDA on file-sharing services. The Don Knotts Overdrive. DVDA's three songs on the soundtrack are "Now You're A Man," "Shenanigans," and Gonna Kick Your Ass." The latter two might be instrumentals.

How did they train the German Shepherd to perform its "act" on Joe? Actually the dog came like that! They looked all over L.A. to find a dog that would hump on command!

What were Los Naked Mariachis singing? What are the lyrics? They (Mariachi Los Zapiros, actually) were singing a song called "Mi Verga," which translates to "My Penis." The lyrics are: Spanish Mi verga es chiquita y muy fea

Y todo el mundo lo sabe

Ojala que yo tuviera una verga muy grande

para presumirla La verga del perro es muy linda... Mi verga es chiquita y fea

Y todos se encuentran de acuerdo... English My penis is small and quite ugly

And all of the world sure knows it.

God willing that I would have had a big massive penis

so I could display it The canine's penis is quite lovely... My penis is little and ugly

And all find themselves in agreement... Trey and Matt wrote that, believe it or not. :D

How many times did Orgazmo shoot Orbison with the Orgamzorator? Six times, the fifth one for Jesus.
