smatysia Obviously not as good as the first movie, but sequels never are. And since this is a third installment, well, you can't have too high of expectations. Even so, it was fairly amusing. True, the actors were a bit too old to pass for high school. Special shout-outs to Dan Monahan, who will always be Pee Wee. Also to Kaki Hunter, who had a certain charisma. Apparently she left the film business back in the Eighties. Too bad. Also notable was Rose McVeigh, who carried an extended scene that was not that funny, but she kept a straight face and carried on like a pro. Overall, no one is going to watch this if they haven't seen the previous films, and that's just as well.
Woodyanders Those rowdy sex-obsessed lads at Angel Beach High are about to graduate. They lock horns once again with their old nemesis Porky (a perfectly nasty Chuck Mitchell), who wants our gang to throw a big championship basketball game and force Meat (amiable Tony Ganios) to marry his homely daughter Blossom (the amusingly gawky Wendy Feign). Director James Tomack nicely recaptures the often uproarious sense of hysterically raucous'n'raunchy humor which made the first film such a gut-busting hoot. Better still, this movie doesn't skimp on either the riotously ribald comic set pieces or tasty female nudity: the lovely Rose McVeigh as sultry biology teacher Miss Webster engages in kinky roleplaying with a fellow teacher and gorgeous blonde babe Kim Evenson (Playboy's September 1984 Playmate of the Month) bares her beautiful breasts as yummy Swedish foreign exchange student Inga. Plus a bunch of guys expose their butts for the ladies. Moreover, there's a surprisingly warm and touching sweetness to be found amid all the blithely lowbrow tomfoolery. The cast all essay their parts with tremendous aplomb: Dan Monahan as the giddy Pee Wee, Kaki Hunter as the cheerfully naughty Wendy, Nancy Parsons as strict authoritarian gym teacher Ms. Balbricker, and Eric Christmas as meek principal Mr. Carter are all especially delightful. Robert C. Jessup's polished cinematography, a terrific golden oldies soundtrack, and Dave Edmunds' catchy, vibrant score further enhance the overall solid quality of this enjoyable closing chapter in this hugely entertaining series.
Barry_Ace This film wasn't as great as the first one, but it was still good nonetheless. The song "High School Nights" at the end of it was a good song to close the series. Although some of the characters from the first two (Tim, Mickey, Officer Jarvis) are missed, this film has a good plot, I reccomend seing it.
BlackJack_B Believe it or not, Porky's is the most successful Canadian-made film in history (still!). Porky's was the movie that first graduated from the drive-in circuit to the cinema. A big hit in both Canada and the U.S., it was the commercials that became my gateway to adult entertainment. Sadly, I was only 9 when the movie came out, so I had to wait.After seeing all three movies a number of times, I have to admit that Porky's Revenge is the best one. The story: Set in the late 1950's, a bunch of boys with "sex on the brain" battle with their nemesis, Porky. Porky is a "southern gentleman" who runs an illegal casino/brothel situated on a riverboat. The boys have been wanting to make this man's life miserable ever since he embarrassed them in the first movie. So once again, they plot to destroy his operation once and for all.The movie had some great scenes, like the pool party, the sneaking into a teacher's apartment and then seeing her and another faculty member doing S&M, and the basketball scenes. This one's script is a lot better and James "Welcome Back, Kotter" Komack does some decent direction. It's not very good, but it's watchable enough, I've seen this one about 7 times, including today.One last note: Porky's riverboat casino looks like the insides of The Hard Rock Hotel/Casino Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada. I guess now we know where Peter Morton got his inspiration from!
