What holds up about this horny coming-of-age tale is remarkable. Writer/director Bob Clark has little more than sex and practical joking on his mind, and his high school seniors from Angel Beach, Florida, rapidly move from one to the other. Clark displays a sense of timing and, perhaps rarer still, a sense of male friendship--its brutalities and its bonds--that feels right, not artificial. Surprisingly, the showcase practical jokes are still funny: the Everglades encounter with Cherry Forever, the hole in the girls' shower, and Beulah Balbricker, the humongous gym teacher. The comedic set-ups and payoffs surprisingly still work. Clark's insistence on a subplot about anti-Semitism, however, still sticks out as A MESSAGE. Kim Cattrall really got her start here (although almost no one else did) as Ms. Honeywell, a.k.a. "Lassie." Clark later distanced himself from the irritating Porky's sequels and went on to make the wonderful Christmas Story, the tale of a little boy who wants a BB gun for Christmas. --Keith SimantonPorky's II: The Next Day The inevitable sequel to the surprise hit movie marks a noticeable change in tone, as the horny kids from the first film fight religious fanatics in order to put on a stage show. Though the gang is still as mischievous as they were the night before, most of the raunchy humor from the first film has been dropped. In its place are some surprisingly effective passages dealing bluntly with sex, love, anti-Semitism, and religious tolerance in the repressed South of the 1950s. It's this turn that makes the sequel a surprise and something distinctive from its predecessor. --Robert LanePorky's Revenge Bare breasts, practical jokes, greaser hairdos, and cars with big fins--it must be another Porky's movie! Porky's Revenge continues to fuse sexploitation and 1950s nostalgia, though by this point the adolescent hijinks feel a bit rote. On the verge of graduation, Pee Wee, Meat, and the other three interchangeable guys (winnowed down from the larger gang of the first two movies) try to help their basketball coach out of a jam by revealing to the authorities that fat, foul-tempered Porky has rebuilt his illegal casino/whorehouse--but when they get caught, they promise Porky they'll throw the state championship to save their lives. This flimsy plot is intertwined with other disconnected bits about Pee Wee having the hots for a foreign exchange student (Playboy Playmate Kim Evenson), Meat being forced to marry Porky's daughter, a contraband stag film, a biology teacher with a sideline as a dominatrix, and of course the eternal presence of women's coach Beulah Balbricker (Nancy Parsons), that towering mixture of prudery and repressed lust. Writer/director Bob Clark had nothing to do with this sequel, so it's unsurprising that the genuine fondness he brought to the characters is long gone; now they're just generic horndog teenagers. Still, most fans of the series rate this one higher than Porky's II: The Next Day. --Bret Fetzer Details Genre: Comedy Format: Multiple Formats, Box set, Color, NTSC Contributor: Wendy Feign, Tony Ganios, Bob Clark, Ziggy Steinberg, James Komack, Alan Ormsby, Mark Herrier, Nancy Parsons, Scott Colomby, Fred Buch, Eric Christmas, Wyatt Knight, Dan Monahan, Chuck Mitchell, Roger Swaybill, Rose McVeigh, Kaki Hunter See more Language: English Number Of Discs: 3 Aspect Ratio ‏ : ‎ 1.85:1 Is Discontinued By Manufacturer ‏ : ‎ No MPAA rating ‏ : ‎ R (Restricted) Product Dimensions ‏ : ‎ 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 8.8 ounces Item model number ‏ : ‎ 1204994096 Director ‏ : ‎ Bob Clark, James Komack Media Format ‏ : ‎ Multiple Formats, Box set, Color, NTSC Run time ‏ : ‎ 4 hours and 49 minutes Release date ‏ : ‎ May 22, 2007 Actors ‏ : ‎ Dan Monahan, Wyatt Knight, Mark Herrier, Tony Ganios, Kaki Hunter Quality Products Have peace of mind knowing that your order will arrive original factory sealed packaging.
