This film follows on from the events of the first film but surprisingly the events at Porky's aren't mentioned; instead the characters are more interested in the fact that Pee Wee had sex with Wendy. The first part of the film is centred on his plans to get revenge on them for what they did to him in the first, not knowing that they know what he is up to. This leads to some antics in the local cemetery. Once this is out of the way the story centres on the school drama club's plan to put on a 'Shakespeare Night' with a selection of scenes from 'A Midsummer Night's Dream', 'Macbeth' and 'Romeo and Juliet'... this offends the local religious extremists, led by Reverend Flavel who object to some of the innuendo in the plays and the Klan, who object to a Seminole Romeo kissing a white Juliet. The Reverend is determined to have the performance stopped and with the help of sleazy politicians desperate for votes in the upcoming election he might succeed... if the students don't get their revenge in first.
It is odd that a film called 'Porky's II' doesn't feature the character but once it gets started he is soon forgotten. The plot involving Pee Wee setting up his friends for the 'graveyard revenge' was silly but did provide some decent laughs, especially as it reached its denouement. The secondary plot seemed even more unlikely; nothing about the characters suggested that they would fight to put on a production of Shakespeare... then we get the KKK, religious extremists and sleazy politicians for them to plot revenge against rather than just a single redneck in the Glades. Still if you can ignore the silliness it provides some good laughs. This film is definitely less leering than first; no peeking at girls showering, just a brief amount of female semi-nudity. There is however more male nudity; most clearly designed for comedy rather than salaciousness. The acting might not have been the best; Bill Wiley's performance as Flavel is probably the most memorable along with Kaki Hunter who was fun as Wendy, especially during the 'date scene'. Overall I'd say this was about as funny as the first even if it doesn't really feel like a 'Porky's' film.
