The intersection of 1990s pop culture, cult cinema, and adult entertainment often leads to a handful of titles that have lingered in the public consciousness far longer than their creators likely anticipated. At the top of that list is a 1994 production that remains one of the most famous examples of "parody" cinema ever made.
