Rating: Summary: One of the better teen films of the eighties Review: Before John Hughes put the sensitive teen film on the map, Bob Clark led another teen revolution in 1982 with his release of Porky's. Based upon his "real" experiences as a teen growing up in the 1950s, the film grossed a staggering 105 million in US rentals and secured its place as one of the most successful comedies of all time - it came in second to Tootsie that year. This DVD release restores the film to its original 1.85:1 aspect ratio and provides a rich new print for future generations to enjoy. While not the first film in the teen gross out "genre" - it was certainly a defining film, and its easy to see why. At the time it set the standard for "gross" far outpacing the envelope pushing "Animal House" in terms of bad taste. Much like the influence American Pie had on nineties teen cinema, the influence of Porky's was far reaching. It's sad then, that the sequel wasn't quite up to par. Clark insisted that the sequel was funnier than the first in interviews at the time, adding that the sequel was dealing with important issues while still maintaining the integrity of the original. Alas, while the morality of the first film remains - this time centered around miscegnation and indecency in a production of Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream (the correlation to be made between the character's defense of the Shakespeare play against the upset moral majority and Clark's defense of the original Porky's is hard to miss) - the T & A that the first film deftly delivered to the pimply masses is missing. Subsequently, the moral message makes the film more preachy than fun, and the normally acceptable carbon copy sequel strategy doesn't work as a result. However, for the low price of 14.99, the DVD is worth purchasing for the guilty pleasure provided by the original - and the sequel can be enjoyed if only as a way to pass the time until the third film (a decent third entry in the tired series directed by newcomer James Tomack) is released.
Rating: Summary: Two Hilarious Classics For The Price Of One! Review: Being a big fan of these movies, raunchy and hilarious. I was recommended watching Porky's, having heard of it but never actually watching it I went and rented it. I laughed so hard!!! It was definetely worth watching, and I'm going to purchase it as well. I was looking for the sequels, and Porky's 3 aka. Porky's Revenge is not in DVD format. Guess it's because it isn't as good.
SEE IT!
Rating: Summary: Porky's 2 Killed My Cat... Review: I bought this set because I enjoy the Porky's movie and 2 isn't bad and this was cheaper than buying them invidually. If you get this, don't expect high cinema though. They are stupid funny movies, don't require much though which is good sometimes. These are also the films that seemingly started the whole teen gross out craze.Anyways, if you watch Porky's 2, do not expose any animals to them because it killed my cat. I don't know how it did it, but it did. Must have been some wierd rays or something because one minute he was playing and next minute gone......

Rating: Summary: STILL FUNNY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS! Review: I saw these movies back in the 1980's and they were funny then and they're funny now. The scene from pt.1 that gets me every time is when "Miss Ballbreaker" is trying to tell the Principal about Tommy Turner and the girls shower, those coaches in the background laughing hystericaly and the Principal trying to keep a straight face. That scene is nothing short of fall in the floor funny. In pt.2 it's the whole date scene with Wendy when she pretends to be drunk. Bottom line, these movies are classic and I highly recommend them to anyone who wants or needs a good laugh.

Rating: Summary: 2 Classics Review: Porky's is most definitely the best movie of the 80's.Many of you might remember it from the shower scene in the girls locker room.Here is the story: A few teenage friends are looking for a good time,so they decide to go to Porky's,a gentlemens club.Porky says that they can get a private room with any woman of their choice.So the friends go wait for them in a dark room.They are anxiously waiting for the girls to arrive.But what they get is a trick from Porky.He pulled a lever and they end up in cold water.So now,they are trying to get even with Porky. Well,I would tell you more,but I'm afraid that I would just be giving the movie away. So,that is all that I will tell you about Porky's. Porky's 2-The Next Day was another good movie.Here is what it is about: A protest is being used against a play because an Indian is playing the white girl's boyfriend in the play.So then,the friends are working on getting rid of the protestors and solving these problems. These are two very awesome movies.If you need to add something good to your DVD collection,then be sure to get these two classics. Peace Out.
