Set in the sultry splendor of Rio de Janeiro, Wild Orchid stars Mickey Rourke (9 1/2 Weeks), Jacqueline Bisset ("Joan of Arc") and supermodel CarrÃ(c) Otis in a "torrid" (Variety) adventure of the senses. Filled with "exotic settings" (The Hollywood Reporter), it is a hypnotic odyssey that will leave you breathless and spellbound. Beautiful young attorney Emily Reed (Otis) travels to Rio to work with international negotiator Claudia Lirones (Bisset) on a multimillion-dollar deal. But once exposed to the raw sensuality of her surroundings, Emily is increasingly drawn into a world of erotic fantasy. Eager to guide Emily through this underworld is Claudia's old flame Wheeler (Rourke). Mysterious and seductive, Wheeler unleashes Emily's most primitive desiresÂ...even as she threatens to unlock his world-weary heart.

Summary: Still a sleaze bag
Comment: This is Mickey Rourke's typical sleaze bag role. The film isn't even accomplished enough to be considered soft porn. Zalman King should have abandoned his efforts in mainstream filmmaking and gone straight into the adult industry. He probably would have had more fun and would have saved us from such complete crap.

Summary: Plucking the Flower
Comment: "Wild Orchid" is one of Zalman King's pretentious "erotic" thrillers of the '90s. It starred then-hottie Mickey Rourke,as well as his then-girlfriend Carre Otis. Rourke stars as an aloof gazillionaire named Wheeler who longs for the human touch. Carre Otis is Emily,a naive,virginal Midwesterner who knows six languages (but can't act) Jacqueline Bisset is Emily's scheming mother Claudia. It's set in the beautiful city of Rio de Janeiro. Though the movie opens with multiple shots of the Christ of the Andes, this movie doesn't have a prayer.
One of Emily's first experiences is watching a couple make love underneath a leaky drainpipe in an abandoned building. It turns out she's not the only voyeur in Rio. After snuggling up to her wearing a silly bear mask, Wheeler makes her watch a couple get intimate in a limo. He also makes her lose her virginity to an Ugly American (and I do mean ugly) There's plenty of pretentious dialogue. Wheeler whines about how unloved he is&doesn't trust anybody,while Emily is inarticulate and stares blankly.
"Wild Orchid" was infamous for the consummation scene between Wheeler&Emily... but it's not a sexy movie. For all the sex&nudity,"Wild Orchid" is an unintentional hoot. There's nothing sexy or sensual about it. "Wild Orchid" wilts,flaccid,on the stem.

Summary: Gread, Passionate Movie
Comment: Loved this movie, only thing I didn't like was how low the volume was. Very memorable movie. Saw it a few years ago and the only thing I seemed to forget was the title. Remembered a good bit of the scenes just not the title. Finally bought it by pure chance and it was the movie I had been looking for, for years. Great movie, plan to watch it many more times. If thinking about buying this or seeing it, give it a shot. Chances are you won't regret doing so.

Summary: Hi BOB , JEANIE from the CANERY in NEWPORT BEACH
Comment: OK....I had a 2 night stand with Bob who at the time lived on Balboa Blvd around 32nd Sreet. It was "Wild Orchid" walk after the "Canery". Without seeing the movie it blew my mind. Bob was the best and I hate myself for not responding to the guy. He called and I hung up on him several times:)
Perfect Match...Just didn't know it at the time.
