Bob Clark was invited to write and direct a third Porky's film. He was interested, but also busy directing Rhinestone (1984) and said that he would have to think about a good storyline for the film. The producers didn't want to wait for him to do this, and hired Ziggy Steinberg to write a screenplay for the film. Clark hated the screenplay and was furious that the producer had it written behind his back, that he refused to have anything to do with the film.
At the time of his death, Bob Clark was actively considering either another sequel to Porky's (1981) or a remake.
The lowest grossing Porky's film, bringing in only $20 million against a budget of nearly $8 million.
The only entry in the trilogy not to be released in a novelized paperback.
