Wild Orchid is a 1989 American erotic film directed by Zalman King and starring Mickey Rourke, Carré Otis, Jacqueline Bisset, Bruce Greenwood, and Assumpta Serna.

[3] Emily Reed travels to New York City to interview with a law firm, which offers her a job if she flies to Rio de Janeiro the following morning.

They arrive in Rio to finalize the purchase of a hotel, but Claudia must fly to Buenos Aires to meet the owner.

Navy sailors at the party make advances on the wife; Wheeler fights them off, and he, Emily, and the couple leave in his limousine.

That night, Emily dresses up for the carnival festivities and is propositioned by a man in a mask who offers her his room key.

Claudia discovers the truth and uses the information to threaten Jerome; if he does not complete the deal, she will tell his wife about the affair.

Claudia's assistants tell her a man bought the deed to the hotel before the deal was finalized; both women realize it was Wheeler, who confirms it.

A package is later delivered to Emily's room; Wheeler has signed over the hotel's deed, saving the deal.

He tells Emily that after he accumulated wealth, women became attracted to him, and he started playing games to keep things interesting.

[4] King's original version of the film was deemed too sexually graphic for an R-rating and the MPAA threatened to release it with an X-rating, limiting its commercial potential.

King reluctantly removed part of a love scene between Otis and Rourke to comply with the R-rating.
