Synopsis

This documentary about the 70s porn legend attempts to verify his existence as there are practically no Asian male porn stars in the history of American adult cinema. A controversial mystery akin to Bigfoot and alien abduction, Dick Ho was so well endowed that rumors arose of a conspiracy within the porn industry to eliminate any knowledge of his existence. Includes alleged film footage and testimonials from porn veterans.

Legend of Dick Ho

Dick Ho is considered to be an urban legend by some in the adult film industry which is highly debatable as evident by the participants’ interviews and film footage in the documentary. It is believed that he came about as a rumor to address the overall absence of Asian male porn actors. The controversy is, not only due to the debate if he actually existed but also, due to the allegations that his penis measured 13½ inches in length which challenges the idea that John Holmes had the longest member in the business. Comparisons and references to John Holmes is made throughout the film, even touching on a possible conspiracy by Holmes and the porn industry to eliminate Dick Ho. Whether he is still living or dead is arguable. One extravagant theory points to sightings of him at a sex cult in Oregon. Theories of his death range from the conspiracy, to an overdose of drugs and alcohol, and even to a penis enlargement pump accident.
