UNSPEAKABLY VULGAR--I LOVED IT!
Some fifteen years ago, my then-teenage nephew coaxed my sister into renting this for him and after dinner we plunked it into the VCR. Ten minutes later my mother declared it "UNSPEAKABLY VULGAR" and stomped out of the room while uttering dire warnings about the fate of those who exposed themselves to such purile material. Well, Mother was right: it is purile, maybe even to the point of being unspeakably vulgar! But it's also a lot of fun. The plot is lightweight: a group of sex-crazed Florida highschool boys desperate to lose their virginity try to do precisely that by visiting Porky's, a swamp-water red-neck brothel and general den of inquity. When they get robbed and beaten up by Porky and his minions, they plot an elaborate revenge that is... well... sure to bring down the house!
The plot is really just the string that holds together a series of elaborate practical jokes--the sort of jokes you always heard about when you were a kid and wondered if any one ever really could...
Simply The Best
Porky's is one very funny movie! Especially the scene in which Miss Balbricker explains to the principal & the coaches about having a line-up of five boys exposing their private parts! Look for Kim Cattrall as Miss Honeywell, Alex Karras as a crooked sheriff & his wife Susan Clark as a backwoods hooker. Pee-Wee & the gang get their revenge on Porky after he rips them off & throws them out of his nightclub. Director Bob Clark does a real good job in keeping things moving along & does an excellent job in dealing with anti-semitism involving new student Brian Schwartz (Scott Colomby). This movie is a genuine classic. Simply the best!
THE DEFFINITIVE FRAT COMEDY that created the genre... endlessly imitated.
PORKY'S was the first frat comedy that elevated "frat comedy/coming of age" into a comic sub-genre on its own. Endlessly imitated... very rarely matched... never surpassed.
This film tells the story of a group of nerdy oddballs high schoolers (in 1954) who are determined to loose their virginity... at any cost! Porky's is the name of the "bordelo" they choose as the place to "do it"...
-laughs.
But instead, they get humiliated by the owner who (as we'll find out) cheated the wrong kids. What comes next, is one of the most hilarious revenges in film History. Period!
Sexy, hilarious, politically incorrect, scatologic, at times disgusting... but always hilarious!! This film is a riot!!!
My favorite scene is when one of the guys puts his **** through a hole on the wall to the girls' showers... and later the boys must stay in a lineup so a shocked old teacher can identify the **** who scared her.
UNTHINKABLE!!!!
This film is...
