The Helix...Loaded is a 2005 parody film, written and directed by A. Raven Cruz. It is a parody of The Matrix and Fight Club . It stars Scott Levy and Vanilla Ice. [1] [2] [3]
Nuvo hangs out with a group of pals who have an inordinate interest in recreational drugs. Like them, he is always interested in the next new drug to use. He and his friends Swatch, Chad, Theo and Ping know of a new drug called the Helix. They want to use it, but rumors exist that it has rather unpredictable effects. Used properly, it can give its users enlightenment, but a bad trip can cause insanity or worse.
Nuvo's interest in the Helix is more philosophical than recreational, and he falls in with two mysterious figures, Infiniti and Orpheum, who are searching for The Other One—a person who can break through to a new level of understanding while under the effects of the Helix.
