"Porky's II: The Next Day" was a weak and frustratingly tame movie that couldn't hold a candle to the wayward original; which I personally consider to be a classic in its own specific league. One of the – admittedly many – reasons of failure was the absence of the titular redneck character who was more or less profiled as the teen protagonists' arch enemy in the first film. Porky Wallace (glorious role of the late Chuck Mitchell) was a fat and sleazy night club owner from a neighboring county who humiliated and deceived the oversexed high school teenagers and prevented them from getting laid in his club. This led to fantastically comical and vulgar situations, but the first sequel skipped all this in favor of politically correct humor and ethically valuable morals. Well, just like the producers of "Halloween" found out after the disastrous third installment … every franchise also partly relies on a solid villainous character. The input of Porky's character in this third and final movie isn't exactly tremendous, but it definitely helps. The jokes and absurd situations are also a lot funnier again (albeit not nearly as funny as in the original) because they all revolve on raging hormones, bizarre sexual fetishes, embarrassing encounters and plain juvenile delinquency! Few weeks before graduating high school (about time, as they all appear to be in their mid-twenties…), the cheerful posse has the chance of realizing their biggest dream: winning the state championship in basketball. They face a big – literally – obstacle when it turns out their beloved coach has unsettled debts with Porky, who now owns a luxurious casino boat. The only way out is for the team to lose the finale and have Porky cash in the betting money, but their mind is too strongly set on winning… This is good old-fashioned and textbook 80's comedy, meaning relaxing and utterly brainless. Ideal stuff to re-watch after all these years and revive the spirit of 80's trash.

The final film of the Porky's trilogy is clearly the better of the two sequels. It ignores the next day plot of the second film and goes back to direct raunchiness that made the first film so successful. However, the story should have put them in a different setting such as college, since the actors portraying the high school seniors were well into the late 20's early 30's by the time the third film was made. Overall, it is good comedy compared to the other films that were made in the mid 80's ** out of ****

The last part of the epic "Porky's"-trilogy is undeniably the weakest, mainly because it feels so straight to video. The production often seems lazy and cheap, and the director didn't exactly work overtime ever. Basketball has never looked this lackluster. The screenwriter tries his best to copy the style of the original, but the way things are directed makes the raunch look nasty rather than funny. The scene with Tommy and Balbricker, presumably one of the most hilarious scenes in the movie, just kinda made me ashamed for watching this. Has it come to this, I wondered, as Balbricker attempted to pull down his underwear for minutes straight. The only redeeming factor left are the actors, that surprisingly still look like they want to be there. Pee Wee is always entertaining, even if he doesn't get to do much. It's still Pee Wee. I also appreciate that Porky is back for the occasion, even though his evil plan makes little sense. And why is he telling people about it? That's just asking to be stopped. Either way, this is not too bad for a second sequel, but it's just so clearly not by the original makers.

Porky's Revenge (1985)

*** (out of 4)

The third and final film in the series finds the boys of Angel Beach High School having to deal with Porky once again when their basketball coach gets into some gambling trouble. Between dealing with Porky the boys find plenty of time for various sexual acts. Look, you're either a fan of the PORKY'S trilogy or you're not. I personally love the series and grew up watching these movies so they certainly are special to me no matter how silly they are. This third film in the series isn't nearly as good as the first but I thought it was a step up from the good, if flawed, second film. I think what works so well here is that it's just fun seeing the gang back and getting into more trouble. Again, if you're wanting comedy in the style of Charles Chaplin then you're not going to find it here but if you enjoy toilet humor, sex jokes and plenty of nudity then this here really delivers. I thought the story itself was mildly entertaining for a film like this but it was certainly a major plus having Porky back in action. After the events in the first film it's just obvious that he really would want some revenge so this adds another layer of fun. As with the first two, there are all sorts of dirty sex jokes and I thought the majority of them worked. This includes the foreign exchange student, a pool orgy and the highlight of the film a sequence inside a motel room. The performances are pretty much what you'd expect from a film like this but the entire cast fit their roles nicely and deliver a good job. There's no question that the film has some major flaws throughout but fans of the series should find this to be a good way to close things out.

That Porky; just when you count him out - here he comes with the whole Angel Beach High gang to strike one final blow against a series that degenerated so far down the tubes that even Bob Clark wouldn't have anything to do with it.

Now, THAT is bad.

"Porky's Revenge", directed as it is by James Komack (yes, THAT James Komack, from "The Courtship of Eddie's Father"), tries to ape the original as much as possible in looks but just doesn't get it right; the material never finds the right tone of raunchiness nor one single scene that has as many belly laughs as the original (if you've seen the first one, you know what I mean).

And the "kids" in this one look just a hair shy on the ear lobe of collecting social security. Someone should have gotten a better makeup artist on the set, ya think? Jeez, guys; at least wear girdles or something!

But then there's Porky himself. Ah yes, Chuck Mitchell returns and is just as mean, nasty and... well, PORKY, as we remember. And when his little girl Blossom (Wendy Feign) falls for good old Meat (Tony Gainos), it's time for Pee-Wee (Dan Monahan) and the rest of the crew to kick into high gear and save their buddy from a fate worse than death - marriage.

Problem is, so much attention is paid to the plot (!!!) that there's no time for laughs, sight gags or even decent use of the foreign exchange student (Kim Evenson). What a disappointment; she even had a cute Swedish accent.

All in all, a big let-down, even from part II in the series (which was no great shakes itself, but at least kept Clark at the helm). This is one "Revenge" that just beats out Montezuma's for general discomfort.

Two stars. Hey, had to give them credit for the eventual fate of Miss Balbricker (Nancy Parsons). What do you know; those kids had a conscience after all.

The third film in the Porky's trilogy is definitely the weakest of the three. It still kept to the spirit of the first two movies with some antics here and there, but it just wasn't as funny or memorable. The other two had somewhat unfocused plots, but this movie's plot was especially scattered.

However, it's still worth a watch if you got a laugh out of the first two Porky's movies.

Horrible on so many levels including the all time worst basketball sequences in film history. Why did they bother? It made money. I gave it one star for the otherwise lovely ladies on display; playing against the 30 yr old male cast.

The gang at Angel Beach high school Pee Wee, Tommy Turner, Meat, Billy, Wendy Williams and Brian Schwartz are about to graduate. They're caught watching a stag film by Balbricker but Billy and Tommy Turner talk out of it with Mr. Carter. The cheerleaders promise the boys an orgy after a basketball win but they play a trick on them. Coach is threatened by Porky's thugs for his gambling debt. Brian leads the boys to Porky's to help Coach. On the way, the guys leave Meat behind with butterface Blossom who turns out to be Porky's daughter. Porky has reopened his club into an illegal riverboat casino. The boys offer to throw the state championship in exchange for Coach's debt. Afterwards Brian convinces everybody to doublecross Porky by winning the game.

I really like the first 20 minutes. It's irreverent and it's fun. I like the boys especially with Wendy Williams. The cheerleaders' party is fun. But the fun slowly drains away. There isn't only one cause. It stops being light fun. Also watching white guys play weekend basketball isn't the most compelling. It's not like they are terribly funny at it either. Wendy gets sideline and downgraded to a girl once again. The franchise is done.

Porky is funnier than Buggs bunny and Daffy Duck put together

Much better sequel here. Things get back on track with this third film in the original trilogy. The humor and sexy good times are back. Love the basketball game and pool scene after. Good character additions to the cast for this sequel. I don't know what they were thinking with that second movie. The guys playing "Meat" and "Tommy Turner" stand out among the cast. Great, sexy, charisma and just a silly fun time.

Like the first two this takes palace in Florida in the mid-1950s. Those "funny" guys and girls are back to celebrate their senior year in high school with more juvenile humor, sexual humiliation and ugly "humorous" gags.

The first two were no masterpieces. The acting was pretty bad and the jokes were downright sick. However each one had some moments that made me laugh out loud. This one however has NOTHING! The plot deals with whether the boys (all on the basketball team) will throw the final game of the season or not to save their coach who owes Porky a lot of money. To put it mildly, that plot is as old as the hills. Also the entire cast of "teenagers" are quite obviously in the late 20s or 30s. NO ONE looks even remotely like a high school kid. Heck, they'd be hard pressed to get away as college kids! The "jokes" do have plenty of the expected female AND male nudity and have the kids laughing hysterically at someone getting humiliated. Also they play a very cruel and sadistic joke on Ms. Balbricker (Nancy Parsons). The thing is Parsons was such a good actress that it's uncomfortable to watch. Wyatt Knight also isn't bad as Tommy Turner. However Fred Buch as Mr. Dobish overacts to a truly embarrassing degree.

I will say a few good things about this--it was reasonably well-directed and all the "kids" have good bodies so the nude scenes aren't unbearable. But this has a stupid plot and unfunny comedy. This one (rightly) lost money at the box office and we were sparred any more Porky movies. Even if you're desperate this isn't worth watching. A 1 all the way.

Seeing as how Bob Clark didn't participate in this movie, it doesn't surprise me that the final movie in the Porky's trilogy lacked the energy that made the first two so funny. The events leading up to the revenge just seemed so unnecessary. Ultimately, this so-called revenge seemed more like another attempt to make Porky's life miserable. This was an inglorious way to end the series which (when it first started) was the first important teen movie of the 80s before we were subjected to the legacy of John Hughes and the Brat Pack.

Well, here it is... the last Porky's film. The lowest of the low. Does it actually get any worse than this? I hope not. The first two movies had some(albeit not an awful lot) value and were just above being garbage committed to celluloid... this one is different, worse. The direction is lazy and uninspired. Scene after scene is misdirected and lacks effect. The writing, since the first two films, has taken a turn for the worse, something I didn't think possible before watching this tripe. Characters are messed up completely, going in a completely different direction from what was seen in the first two films. Jokes and gags are incredibly forced and unforgivably poor. The humor is taken down a further notch from the first two films; again, a surprise for those of us who weren't aware that it was possible to go any lower. Acting is overplayed and uninspired. Unlike the first two films, this one doesn't have one single redeeming quality... it's just bad. Really, really bad. I couldn't give you one good reason to watch this film... not a single one. I recommend this only to people who loved the first two so much that they simply can't stand the notion of there being a film in the series that they haven't seen... no matter how bad it is. Everyone else should avoid this... at all and any costs. 1/10

Or was it lesson learned? Not that the movie learned anything from the previous entries and it rightfully has the lowest rating from all the Porky movies. There have been worse movies of course, but even if you are invested in the characters (after watching the previous two movies), it will still be hard for your interest to be peaked.

There will be nudity and there is a callback on how the first movie started to get you sucked into this. There is some appeal with having the same characters but also the same actors. No matter if they are about a decade older than the characters they are playing. There are pranks being played to a degree where some of them are not funny anymore.

This film essentially begins with "Pee Wee" (Dan Monahan) and his friends preparing to finally graduate from high school. However, when they are all busted for watching a stag film in the school's projection room at least two of them face expulsion. To further add to their problems, as members of the high school basketball team they have just learned that their coach owes a huge sum of money to the nightclub owner known as "Porky" (Chuck Mitchell) and feeling compelled to do something about it decide to take matters into their own hands-which makes matters even worse. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that-as the third picture in the Porky's series-this film wasn't nearly as good as the first but it was slightly better than the second. As usual, the scenarios were crude and unrealistic but I suppose that's to be expected. In short, although I don't consider this film to be particularly good, it still wasn't quite as bad as it could have been and for that reason I have rated it as just slightly below average.

What a huge disappointing ending aftersuch a great first 2 movies. Why did they even bother when some of the characters were missing from the originals. It was almost as iif they had finally run out of ideas for jokes etc.

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.

Made without the participation of Bob Clark, this third film in the 'Porky's' franchise follows the teen friends to graduation, with more mischief including another encounter with Chuck Mitchell as the titular antagonist from Part One. Scattered amusing moments include the friends spying on a scientist teacher at her home and the series-long running gag of Pee Wee's mother walking in on him, however, the film fails to charter any new ground; it is not even raunchier than the first installment. The film is not true to its title either, which implies Mitchell plotting revenge on the teens for trashing his establishment in the first film. It is hard not to wonder how the movie may have turned out with Clark's involvement. After all, he did wonders pulling the material in different directions in the second film, which became less about pranks and more about the friends sticking up for their classmates regardless of ethnicity, plus supporting their principal and teachers against hyper-conservatives crowds. Kaki Hunter also very nicely evolved into 'one of the guys' in the second film, whereas here she is relegated back to a second supporting character. Of course, no film with a half-naked Swedish exchange student is ever going to be worthless and there is something sweet about the gang trying to help their coach with financial woes, but this is clearly a step below its predecessors.

"Porky's Revenge" isn't as bad as the second one, which is small praise indeed. But it's also not really a bad movie: it's watchable, and entertaining by spurts (er.. no pun intended).

It has more nudity than the second one, and thankfully, no full frontal nudity from shaven-headed middle aged men (if you don't know what I'm talking about, you probably haven't seen "Porky's 2: The Next Day", which is good: don't).

The movie features the typical episodic shenanigans with the 'gang' of Angel Beach High, all of whom now look well into their thirties. There's Pee Wee, Meat, and... there's more than those two, but they're the only ones that come to mind. You'd think that across three movies, they'd be able to invest more than just two members of "the gang" with some kind of discernible personality?

It makes up for it with a memorable villain in Porky, the fat redneck who owns a saloon on the banks of a gator infested river, and of course, Balbricker, the hard-as-nails PE teacher, who exists to catch the gang out and spoil their fun, but in this installment, falls in love.

The movie has the odd boob, as I have mentioned, but no eroticism. These sex comedies, supposedly so raunchy, never try to raise your pulse rate. Why? The American discomfort about sex is a strange thing to behold.

Porky's Revenge is the third and last (gratefully) installment of three teenage exploitation films that contain more stereotypes and gross exaggerations that time and space permit to be mentioned here. Suffice it to say the content is similar to that of Montezuma's Revenge.
