Review of Wild Orchid

Wild Orchid (1989)
1/10
One of my contenders for worst movie ever made...
18 December 2001
During the screening of this, some 20 years ago (which I got free tickets to, thank goodness!), I turned around and tried to detect any facial expressions resembling my own from my poor fellow moviegoers - am I awake? Is this for real? Could it be the worst movie ever made, on this level? Well, fellas, it's a real contender.

The 'script' of female American lawyer embarking on sex adventures in Rio, Brazil, makes any $2 trash pit novel seem like a Pulitzer prize winner, as seemingly 1/3 of it is made up of leftover travel brochure footage. The dialog is so hilariously bad it is downright embarrassing where that one scene in a taxi cab takes the poison cake! And finally, Mickey Rourke is a scream as a "sexy, mysterious" millionaire with bronze makeup and cotton in his cheeks ... his paycheck was probably the roll in the hay with plastic mannequin Otis. So, hold on to your jaws, they might drop to the ground when the end credits roll, unless you haven't left this crap way before that. Hey - you were warned!
