Wild Orchid

1990

Wild Orchid

Critics Consensus

Body Orchid is a tease-too-long, with overblown editing with an already slipping Mickey Rourke and unexperienced actress Carrie Otis.

Audience Reviews for Wild Orchid

    The story's shit, the acting's utter shit, the directing is shit but the sex scenes are the best I've ever seen. And that alone deserves 3 1/2 stars.

    From back before Mickey Rourke went off the deep end. Far from a great movie, and I haven't seen it in a long time, I just remember Carre Otis being incredibly hot. Of course I was in the middle of my teenage years and any "erotic encounters" were of great interest to me...

    Mickey Rourke became one of my favorite actors after seeing him in Angel Heart and 9 1/2 weeks. Poor guy,if it was not for his looks ruined by the ages and surgery, I could thought of him to be one of the best late century's leading role men! But I can't say Wild Orchid was a good film, but it's not Micky Rourke or Carrie Otis fault. They were both attractive, and tried hard with the material,but the material just wasn't interesting. There was no plot in Wild Orchid. What was in Wild Orchid? Nothing. There was no love, acting was mediocre, the film wasn't entertaining. Just the last sex scene was erotic. For me, the film sucks .
