i am a huge fan of the porky's movies, and this was not a let down. the greatest of the series will always be the first, but 2 & 3 are still really worth seeing. the movie is clever, funny and creative. the group devises new pranks and new consequences. somehow, the whole group manages to graduate...and go out with...style. but before all that, they manage to face expulsion, blackmail for athletic eligibility and save their coach by making a deal with their arch nemesis: porky. when they don't follow through with their agreement, they have to defeat porky once and for all or else ol' meat gonna have to marry little blossom!

Rose McVeigh is a woman that used to look so fabulously good that she deserved to have a far better career in the movies; I have seen her in Porky's Revenge (1985), and she gave the movie all its interest. Her body looked absolutely ideally. The famous scene where she undresses is the only fine thing in the whole movie, and it's prepared, built up to ...;--and yes, she looked impressive, awesome with her dress on, too. Her unremarkable career is another example of how many factors it takes to build one,and how the looks never explain everything.

It looks as if her career did not make it into the insipid '90s.

Her bits in this installment are absolutely necessary, and they have a certain fame.

Like the REVENGE OF THE NERDS series, PORKY'S kind of lost its edge as other sequels emerged even though the characters remained likable enough(if too old)to spend 90 minutes with. I just felt as I was watching PORKY'S REVENGE that the laughs were few and far between although there were attempts to reestablish the raunch that appealed to audiences who loved the first film. I think it would've been more ideal to have this cast in college instead of in their senior year of high school as the stars simply look too old at this point to portray 18 year olds. That said there are some inspired moments here and there such as Pee Wee's flashing the parents attending the graduation ceremony on accident(he was tricked into getting nude underneath his robe by the gang)or when the boys have broken into the apartment of a hot biology teacher trying to find a test exam so that Meat(Tony Ganios)could cheat to pass so he could play in the State Basketball Championship, instead catching her in a bit of sexual rollplaying with another teacher. Nancy Parsons returns as Ms. Balbricker and the gang decide to find her lost love which is kind of a nice way to send her character off as she's often the butt of jokes(her hotel scene with Wyatt Knight's Tommy Turner is a laugh as both were expecting to meet other people, this arranged as a practical joke by the gang, although Pee Wee was the intended target for Balbricker). In this sequel, Porky(Chuck Mitchell)now operates an illegal casino on board a riverboat and has negotiated a deal with the boys regarding throwing the basketball championship so that their coach could be exonerated of the gambling debts he owes. Of course the boys plan to screw Porky and when fatso kidnaps Meat(he supposedly got Porky's ugly daughter pregnant after the two "went all the way")during prom night they will have to orchestrate a rescue. The result isn't kind to Porky's boat! Mitchell is as repugnant and bullying as ever, the perfect foil for our high school heroes who once again get the best of him. This film features "the big game" as Angel Beach's basketball team go on a tear when Meat suddenly "passes the test" and is allowed to toss around the opposition like rag dolls(the referees seemed to have gone on a lunch break, I guess). A constant gag that I didn't really find all that funny has the principal questioning when Billy(Mark Herrier)is gonna set up a period where they can watch a certain "art film"(it's pornography and Balbricker told on them to the principal). Kaki Hunter is Tommy's girlfriend, Wendy, but she's essentially "one of the guys" always hanging out with them. Surprising amount of nudity in this sequel; mostly boobs. While a far cry from the first film, which had me laughing out loud quite a bit, PORKY'S REVENGE does come from a great period in the 80s when filmmakers were willing to go anywhere to get a giggle or make the viewer blush.

so the third installment of the porky's trilogy, should be the worst, but it's actually a big improvement on the second installment. the gang are back minus a couple of characters, but like i said in my review of the second movie, there were simply too many characters to write for, hence the movie not being as funny as the first. don't worry though, the movie is much funnier, and raunchier, and is much more in spirit with the original than the second one was. the set pieces are bigger, the laughs better, and even though it loses 2 of the characters from the first 2, it really doesn't matter, because it makes the movie funnier, porkys 3 is another must see movie, that delivers everything the second movie should of, i highly recommend this movie to fans of the original

This is the third and last Porky's film. Not as good as the first Porky's (1981) nor Porky's II: The Next Day (1983), but worth seeing if you are a fan. This film ties everything up you remember from the first two movies. Tony Ganios is remarkable as "Meat" (and why do they call him "Meat"? Remember?) and is given a lead storyline in this entry. As in the first two films, this also contains male and female nudity. What is nice about this film is that (spoiler) the kids finally do good for Miss Balbricker. You may have noticed that Nancy Parsons lost alot of weight. She was given some nice evening wear to wear in the filming. I did not care for the ending of this film. Perhaps they should have made a fourth film Pee Wee's Revenge.

James Komack is best known for producing The Courtship of Eddie's Father, Chico and the Man and Welcome Back, Kotter. To be honest, him making the third in this series is a thankless job, as Bob Clark didn't return. He could have just been quiet about coming on board, but he told the Los Angeles Times that when Clark made the last movie that he "failed to understand their own formula. Porky's touched on reality, it presented a cross-section of adolescent sex life during a certain time frame. Bob apparently tried to elevate his big success and use it to portray a message. But the original was not a film about humanity; it was a film, pure and simple, about teen-age sex. The sequel, a whitewash of the original, didn't play."

As for Clark, he was interested but also busy directing Rhinestone. He wanted the time to think of a new story, but the producers hired Ziggy Steinberg to write the screenplay, which Clark hated. He was so upset that he refused to have anything to do with this movie.

During the semi-final basketball game, the cheerleaders promise the team an orgy if they win. This did not happen in the 50s. And so the film begins, bringing back Porky (Chuck Mitchell) and most of the cast - Nancy Parsons, who played Ms. Balbricker had lost a lot of weight since the first movie and only came back if she got a percentage of the profits - and has a new character in Porky's daughter Blossom, who is in love with Meat.

As bad as the movie is, the soundtrack makes up for it. Dave Edmunds brought together Jeff Beck, George Harrison, Willie Nelson, Carl Perkins, The Crawling King Snakes (Robert Plant and Phil Collins) and The Fabulous Thunderbirds to create music that is way better than this movie could ever hope to deserve.

"Porky's Revenge" sees the return of Pee Wee (Dan Monahan) and his gang of friends, Wendy (Kaki Hunter), Meat (Tony Ganois,) Brian, (Scott Colomby,) Billy (Mark Herrier,) and Tommy (Wyatt Knight), looking way too old to be in high school and are back for their dumbest round of pranks and hijinks that also sees the return of their arch enemy Porky (Chuck Mitchell.) This sequel is slightly better than the last movie, but that's not saying much. This awful sequel is bottom of the barrel with cruel jokes toward women and lame sex jokes that flood the screen.

"Porky's II: The Next Day" was so bad, it was unwatchable. The Clan and the perverted city council. The disturbing Reverand looked like someone hit him in the face and is also a weirdo. There was a bad atmosphere to the movie, and "Porky's Revenge" returns to the original tone with nonstop sex jokes repeated over again, and the boys find themselves in the sights of Porky's when their Basketball Coach Goodenough (Bill Hindman) owes a debt to him.

Porky now owns a riverboat, and the boys plan to climb aboard and take pictures of the illegal casino so they can send them to the DA's office. Porky catches them in the act, and after realizing who they are, he plans to shoot. "I've been wanting to find you kids for one helluva long time." He agrees to waive the coach's debt if they throw the upcoming Championship Basketball Game.

One of the dumber subplots involves the Meat character finding Porky's sex-crazed daughter, Blossom (Wendy Feign,) on the highway, and, the other is Meat failing his Biology class and the Teacher, who is also a sex-crazed weirdo, Miss Webster (Rose McVeigh,) and seems to have some sort of weird vendetta again him. Constantly wanting him to fail. Her sidekick is a weirdo, Dobish (Fred Buch,) who is the school guidance counsellor and Webster's secret lover. The scenes between them are awkward and strange, and they make this film borderline unwatchable.

Miss Balbricker (Nancy Parsons) is the usual butt of jokes, and this time, she tries to get the boys expelled when they are caught with a stag film. The School Principal, Mr. Carter (Eric Church, is easily fooled because he is stupid for the sake of dumb comedy, and it's a useless subplot that has him watching a stag film over and trying to debunk whether it's a safety video or not. There is no intelligence, and the film falls on the tired old gags.

One of them is a foreign lady, Inga (Kimberly Evenson,) with whom Pee Wee is infatuated, agrees to meet him in a motel, although it is a setup. One of the characters gets there first and starts rolling around with Ballbreaker, who thinks it's her old lover she has missed for several years. When she discovers she is frolicking around with Tommy, Ballbricker squeals, and they all laugh on the lawn across the street, as she cashes him up the street. "I got you now Tommy Turner. You poor excuse for humanity." These jokes are cruel and show the intelligence and lack of a decent screenplay. Wendy Plays the cruel prank, and they try to fix this, but it's around the last fifteen mins of the movie.

Porky gets his revenge when the boys screw him over, and he kidnaps Meat and forces him into a shotgun wedding with his crazed daughter aboard the HMS Pignuts. There is no sense of danger here because it's a comedy, and any that the original had is gone. Surprisingly, this is a tame sequel compared to the original. The usual amount of raunchy jokes is here, and the usual vulgar dialogue about women in a dreary way. "I could lick her waist." Pee Wee and the gang see Blossom's face and quickly drive off. These movies hate women, and that element is still very much here.

At least the original had that teenage charm to it, but It was a film that, surprisingly, had a mean spirit to it. It also had some humorous moments. It had some horrid moments and the moments where the boys spying on the girls are gone in favour of a stupid story that is all over the place. It's like the director, James Komack, never watched the original movie, and it shows.

One of the strangest scenes in the movie is in the ending, where Tommy and Wendy fake suicides to get the attention of a bridge docker, and it feels wrong. They both kiss and jump off the bridge. Pee Wee hides, so he can lift the bridge so Porky's boat will drive right into it. Porky chases Billy, Meat and Brian in a rowboat as he tries to run them down until his riverboat crashes into the bridge, and it's cut to the graduation indicating hopefully, they don't make any more of these movies.

"Porky's Revenge" is a dreary movie with bad dialogue and a screenplay that nobody cares about. Original director Bob Clark refused to make this movie, and James Komack took over. This movie will, undoubtedly, be remembered along with the other two, but that's not saying much at all.

1/10.
