Porky's II - Il giorno dopo

This is clearly a fun-filled sequel to the original classic film because once again, the eccentric cast of characters really show great chemistry amongst each others and only a few characters have truly transitioned. Pee Wee is still Pee Wee but he is no longer the virgin everyone knew from the film, but still gets himself in hot water. Tommy and Billy are still the pranksters of the group, pulling off one of the funniest pranks against their arch-nemesis Miss Balbricker. Let's just say this involves a stall and a snake. Wendy truly has risen from bit player to more one of the gang here with her impeccable stunt in the third act of the film. Tim is no longer the racist good guy he was in the beginning and is best friends with Brian, who also has gotten his rank upped to major player.

This isn't a bad movie and indeed there are some great cheeky moments and scenes but the overall feeling of the movie is one of desperation, thankfully the follow up to this was great but to follow a classic like Porky's i expected much better. The usual misfits from angel beach return led by the great peewee,and they are involved in a school play but when they cast an native American Indian then the local church and KKK group get involved in protest. I suppose that's the problem here as the film takes a stance against racism which is all well and good but it isn't great in the company of the filthy jokes and just seems to be there to gain acclaim and from what i read this wasn't a success upon release so hey ho to that idea. "Porky's II" does have a few slow moments, but nevertheless it is enjoyable to watch to get a few laughs.

Overall rating: 5 out of 10.

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.

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.

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!

Before there was "American Pie," there was "Porky's," the classic '80s sex-comedy created and directed (for two out of three installments, anwyay) by the late, great Bob Clark.

"Porky's II: The Next Day" is a laugh-a-minute smut fest that picks up exactly where the original "Porky's" left off. Pee Wee, Tommy, Meat and the Angel Beach gang don't have to deal with old Porky this time around; instead their school's big drama club presentation of the works of Shakespeare is being threatened by a fire-and-brimstone preacher and his flock, who claim The Bard's works are "indecent." To complicate matters further, the production's "Romeo" happens to be played by a Native American, which brings the local KKK into the picture. Will Pee Wee and the gang put up with such interference? Of course they won't, and before you know it the boys (and girl) are busily setting up elaborate series of pranks to get even with the Reverend, the Klan, and a sleazy, double dealing councilman. They even take time to fix the wagon of the dreaded gym teacher from Hell, Miss Balbricker!... all in the name of triumphing over the forces of injustice and intolerance, of course.

Yes, folks, believe it or not, this is a sex comedy with a social conscience. You'll still get your share of goofball raunchy bits (don't miss the scene involving "Graveyard Gloria," which also features the best bit of comic zombie action ever filmed) but at the same time, you'll cheer as you watch the irritating Holy Rollers and clueless Klansmen get their comeuppance.

I may be in the minority, but I think the "Porky's" series actually got better as it went along. I prefer "II: The Next Day" over the original, and the 3rd film, "Porky's Revenge," is my favorite installment overall. If you're looking for an '80s flashback, or just an immature chuckle, then give this one (or any of the "Porky's" films) a spin and give your inner 14 year old the time of his life. "Wooooo Boogie boogie boogie!"
