Porky's II: The Next Day

Writer / director Bob Clark just couldn't come up with an engaging enough sequel to his 1982 sex comedy classic. Since it is "another day", our gang starts out on a predictable enough note, as Pee Wee is badgered about losing his virginity, and finding companionship for his friends. Gone is the ultra-raunchy, T & A of the first "Porky's", as Clark seems determined here to go the ultra-politically correct route. The gang finds that, of many groups spewing their nonsense, the KKK are ripe for some retribution. They also incur the wrath of a Bible thumping religious leader (Bill Wiley), who comes down hard on their high school Shakespeare production, denouncing it as trash especially since a Seminole youth (Joseph Runningfox) has been cast in the lead.

The cast continues to be watchable, but this is is pretty disappointing given the nature of the original. It comes off as if Clark is trying to apologize for the R-rated shenanigans, when he had nothing to apologize for. Unfortunately, most of the material is uninspired. "Porky's II: The Next Day" is certainly good for some mild laughs, and smiles (Coach Balbricker (Nancy Parsons) gets her comeuppance thanks to a slithering accomplice). Dan Monahan is still fun as the often put-upon Pee Wee, but much of the movie really belongs to the enchanting Kaki Hunter as Wendy. She is able to introduce an element of humanity into the proceedings.

People who really love the original "Porky's" will find this to be a much too mild rehash.

Five out of 10.

Writer/director Bob Clark must've made a mint from his box office smash Porky's, so I can't really blame him for capitalising on his success with a guaranteed cash-cow sequel that repeats the same formula of dumb pranks and penis gags, while once again throwing in some racial tension to drive the story. What I do blame him for is making the film such a laugh-free mess, while toning down the raunchiness, one of the few factors that made the first Porky's bearable.

No-one in Porky's II gets laid: they're too busy prancing around on stage in a dreadful Shakespearian high-school production, which brings them to blows with a local evangelist Reverend Flavel (Bill Wiley), who deems the show obscene, the KKK, who object to Seminole Indian John Henry (Joseph Runningfox) playing the part of Romeo, and sleazy county commissioner Gebhardt (Edward Winter), who tries to seduce Pee Wee's girlfriend Wendy (Kaki Hunter). Cue lots of desperate gags that involve someone dressed as a George Romero-style zombie, an exotic dancer dubbed Graveyard Gloria (Cisse Cameron), a sword-fight with a mannequin's leg, a snake in a toilet bowl, and fake vomit.

3.5/10, rounded up to 4 for IMDb.

I understand it's a sequel but it had nothing to do with Porky. I still enjoyed it with the original cast.

It was the angel beach boys with the same story but not as good, taking down another villain.

I'm not hating on this movie but the writers could have been more creative.

I thought that this was the best movie of the Porky's trilogy. The best scene in all the movies is the graveyard scene and this movie has it. If you're looking for some deep intellectual stuff, stay away from this movie and the other two. But, if you're in the mood for good (unclean) fun try this movie. It's hilarious. And all those people out there who say women don't like this movie are wrong! I'm a young women and I loved this film when I was a teenager, plus I used to watch it with my brother and (get this) my mom. If you're offended by: foul language, nudity and sexual humor don't watch this movie! If you ignore this warning and watch it anyway don't complain that the characters said the "f word" too much or that everyone was obsessed with sex, 'cuz that's what it's about folks!

I'm a bit sad that so many people hate this film... it's entertainment, guys, not social commentary. C'mon people, this is one of those films where you check PC at the door!

While it *is* crude, it has some truly great funny moments in it, such as the duel of Shakespeare/Bible quotes (I shamelessly admit I love it when the principal says "Get the fluck outta here!"), the duel on the stage replacing a sword with a female mannequin leg (the death moment is priceless), and Wendy's besequined tart role-play humiliating the handsome jerk politician at a high-profile restaurant ("It tastes much better going down...!" EEEEW!!!)

Another thing I love about the Porky's films is the male nudity. Female nudity not integral to the plot is rampant in most films, and while part of the story here, it's delightful to see more naked men than in any other non-"adult" film I know. Even The Full Monty doesn't show all *this*! Equality at last! And in the '80s to boot!
