Porky's II: The Next Day

Plot synopsis:
Images from the first part of Porky.Edward "Pee Wee" Morris (Dan Monahan) wakes up shouting "I've been laid!" with joy. It's the following morning, after all the events in the first part. He increases the line in his maturity chart - the one he keeps under his mattress. His penis doesn't look as responsive as always, but he thinks it may be a resting time after the novelty of sex with a woman. His mother (Ilse Erl) enters his bedroom while he's got a boner - after watching toples women at  The National Geographic  magazine. Mrs Morris is dumbfolded when she looks at Pee Wee's chart.Back at Angel High School, Pee Wee brags about having Wendy Williams (Kaki Hunter) snatched from everybody else. His friends tease Pee Wee, saying that Wendy didn't think it was such a big thing. Wendy wants a better man - Wendy admits that it was all a prank planned by his friends: she really ended up satisfied.The Drama Club is producing a Shakespeare-based play for a theatre festival. All the boys in the festival are participating. Pee Wee interrupts a natural sciences lesson - the vivisected frogs are disgusting. Pee Wee is blamed for a joke which was not even his, but the science teacher (Howard Neu) tells him off. Pee Wee is jealous of Wendy, who is talked about a lot. She says that she's faithful, that people will talk about her without really knowing her, and that boys will always brag about things they haven't really done. Pee Wee tries to trust her, and says that he'll kick the ass of any boy who badmouths her from that moment on.Tommy Turner (Wyatt Knight), Tim Cavanaugh (Cyril O'Reilly), Billy McCarthy (Mark Herrier) and Anthony "Meat" Tuperello (Tony Ganios) are part of Pee Wee's gang. They are on friendly terms with new student Johnny Henry (Joseph Runningfox), who says hello to them. He'll participate in Shakespeare's play as well, alongside with Pee Wee and Tommy.Anthony has to dress up as a god fairy, which creates plenty of mockery around, especially with Pee Wee. Later, they disguise themselves to go to a carnival to see a well-endowed girl to dance something similar to the dance of the seven veils. The boys visit Gloria , and her MC (Peter Conrad). Pee Wee wants to get out on stage with his costume. He looks like a green Puck.Ms Beulah Balbricker (Nancy Parsons) and Reverend Bubba Flavel (Bill Wiley). Mrs Morris, Pee Wee's mother was the person responsible for the play. Mr. Floyd J. Carter (Eric Christmas) cannot stand up to Flavel's shouts and screams. They allege that Shakespeare is filth. Carter dismisses them after reading romantic passages from the Bible.Pee Wee finds another girl, and he takes her to the cemetery. He runs away. It's a prank - as Pee Wee shows himself stark naked. Laura gets undressed and wraps herself around Pee Wee. It looks like Laura is choking to death. Steve and Tommy say that Pee Wee is to blame for Laura's death. They can't call Ted (Art Hindle). Steve frightens Pee Wee, dressed as a zombie. So now, they accuse Pee Wee of killing two people; he runs butt naked. Ted and another cop see Pee Wee naked running on the road, but they don't stop to pick him up. They are dumb folded by Steve's disguise, but not afraid. He passes out.Somebody (Will Knickerbocker) has thrust a dummy against Johnny Henry, a Native American, kissing a white girl. The commissioners arrive; they are Hurley (Fred Buch), Couch (Richard Liberty) and Gebhardt (Edward Winter) will support the play, in spite of the racist comments.Balbricker sings and dances  Black Magic  while on the toilet, but the gang plays a prank on her. They open up the pipe and push a snake up. Balbricker runs in panic with her pants and panties down to the gym of the high school. All the school hears her screams and sees her. Later on, everybody panics, especially two cheerleaders (Francine Joyce and Wendy Becker) when they see the snake. Tommy says he's picked the snake and the coaches congratulate him for that.Carter interrupts rehearsals, when Johnny Henry was taking his role too realistically. Officially, the Shakespeare production is called off, but the classroom can rehearse as a private project classroom. One of them mentions that one of the commisoners exposed himself.Seward County Commissioner Gebhardt initially gestures Steve, Pee Wee, Wendy and the rest of the gang that Flavel's demands are ludicrous and unreasonable. The commissioners seem to think well of the production; Gebhardt praises them to fight for their ideals and for what they want. He tells them that he'll do a favour, in return of which he'll be offered another favour, and that's how things work, so they have nothing to worry about.John is beaten. The KKK opposes a Seminole character - his role is Romeo - to kiss a white girl - Wendy's role which is Juliet. A cross is burning next to him. 5,000 signatures are given to Geghardt against the play. Johnny's sword breaks and he has to pretend to keep on fighting with a broken sword in an absurd way. They give him the leg of a female mannequin.Flavel insists in shutting the production down. Anthony shows him his balls. Mrs Morris tells him that the gesture wasn't helpful. Gebhardt gestures for the gang to keep calm, but he finally betrays them. Gebhardt is a pervert who will go out with Wendy, who is 17 and therefore still a minor. Wendy wants revenge.At Seward court, in the basement, commissioners love silent black-and-white porn flicks. They make derogatory terms. Wendy prepares a punch which looks like vomit. She goes to La fontana di voglio, a fancy restaurant. He is friends with the maitre d' (Robin Paradise and Ted Richert)The KKK is led to talk to John. The gym is packed with Seminole Indians, and they want to shave the KKKmembers' heads. Wendy enters dressed and talking like a prostitute, shouting and making a big scandal out of it so that everybody looks at her - which everybody does. She jumps on top of him and tries to shag him there. She puts her boa on a gentleman (William Kerwin)'s head, and she sings that she's going on 17 that day, and that she was 14 when she first met him. Wendy will cry rape if he goes away: she says that she's pregnant of him.During Flavel's speech, he sees he KKK members stark naked. Then, the recording with the commisioners badmouthing Flavel and talking about the porn flick is played for everybody to hear. The public gets restless and Flavel loses it, swearing like a maniac to the press. Wendy gets drunk and drinks the gentleman's cup, and she repeats her date's name and position. Wendy vomits in a pool, and all the restaurant-goers leave. The gentleman even saw Wendy take out the vomit from one of her fake breasts. Pee Wee takes a picture of Gernhardt in the pool. They leave to the sound of  We're going to see the Wizard, the wonderful Wizard of Oz, because because because.... The news jumps to the newspapers and Gernhardt quits his post.The Shakesperean Festival is on again, announced on the first page. Johnny is a hero. Wendy and Pee Wee are together again. The KKK members try to discreetly leave. One of them is kicked in the head by sweet ladies with umbrellas. The restaurant will be no more. Flavel tries to strangle one of his old accomplices.

Review:
This is not the sequel you've been waiting for."Porky's II: The Next Day" offers up some laughs but the rest is filled in with sub-plots about the KKK, political campaigning, American Indians and right-wing religion.
THIS in a movie with a character named Pee-Wee?Maybe Bob Clark felt he needed to do some social atonement for the non-PC stuff he committed in the original.
But just because it's PC doesn't mean it's funny.No Porky, no locker room humor, no Miss Honeywell, no shower scenes...
But Jewish people might get a good chuckle this time around and those who are Native American Indian might be offended or laugh as well.
The actual plot has their school putting on a production of Shakespeare plays and getting threatened by the Ku Klux Klan, an angry clergyman, and hypocritical politicians.
I nearly laughed myself hoarse during the restaurant scene, not only at what was happening but also trying to imagine how much fun they must have had filming it!
As often happens, this sequel to PORKY'S (1982) is inferior to the original - but, then, neither is it as bad as Leonard Maltin claims in his esteemed Film Guide!
It does cheat by forsaking the titular establishment entirely, though the formula is pretty much the same as before - except that here some of the characters from the original disappear and are replaced by new ones, while the girl who was involved with the protagonist in the first film gets a bigger part this time around.
Again, the film pits a certain minority - in this case, American Indians - against a bigoted community.While the film's major asset has to be the over-the-top characterization of the hypocritical Reverend, there are almost as many belly laughs here as in the original.
Bible' quoting duel (even if it's kind of silly and out-of-character to have the boys involved in putting on a show of the Bard's work in the first place) and the individual come-uppance of the gang's various antagonists - the KKK (in the school gymnasium), the duplicitous board member (humiliated in a restaurant prior to re-election) and the aforementioned evangelist and his flock (at their own rally).P.S. Interestingly, co-writer Alan Ormsby had previously collaborated with Clark on his first two horror outings - CHILDREN SHOULDN'T PLAY WITH DEAD THINGS (1972; which I've never watched) and DEATHDREAM (1972)!.
If you want to know what is generically funny about this film, read the review for Porky's.
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.
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).
The sequel to the original sleeper hit is more disgusting and foul than ever as this time the sex driven teenagers are up against city council and a pushy religious fanatic by the name of Bubba Flavel as they want to close down the school theater because the reverend disapproves of the sexuality in Shakespeare.
Like the first Porky's I reviewed, I had written that the film needed to make up its mind: either make it a comedy or a drama and end it; it still suffers the same problem.Like the first movie, the pranks were a joy to watch.
Why didn't Bob Clark from the first Porky's shoot the sequel at the same time?
It should have been a famous comedy, instead it turned out as being a strange cocktail of a propaganda movie (how fun is it to be a young American high-schooler), impossible situations (reverends fighting against Shakespeare plays), tasteless and unconvincing nakedness scenes (abuse of male bare behinds especially).
i had never taken the time to watch porky's 2 until tonight (on comedy central).i found nothing funny about it, and i am a big comedy fan and can usually find some good in everything.
Porky's is generally considered to be the movie that started the high-school sex-comedy subgenre, yet its sequel has very little nudity and not a lot of jokes either.The movie starts off pretty well with a story about Pee-Wee trying to get revenge for the Cherry Forever prank in the previous movie, but soon veers off into an after-school-special-with-swearing about censorship, corrupt politicians and racial intolerance.
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.
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.
Overall I'd say this was about as funny as the first even if it doesn't really feel like a 'Porky's' film..
This film takes up immediately where the last picture left off with "Wendy" (Kaki Hunter) and "Pee Wee" (Dan Monahan) having just gone all the way but now beginning to have romantic feelings for one another afterward.
In the meantime, the drama club which Pee Wee and his friends have joined are preparing for a high school play based on Shakespeare but they are encountered by a local church group who plan to shut it down because it offends their sensibilities.
That being said, the film lacked any credible sense of realism and this hampered what could have been a pretty good comedy all things considered.
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.
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.
The full frontal nudity is entirely male, a group of ugly shaven headed gentlemen running toward the camera (don't ask).You may actually be able to remember a couple of the characters from the first movie: Pee Wee and Meat.
Who doesn't like shower scenes, and spending the rest of your time trying to get laid, and playing practical jokes on your friends?
Fortunately for Mr. Clark (and I didn't know about his untimely passing a few years ago until I read these reviews), he came back pretty strong writing Porky's Revenge..
Having enjoyed the original Porky's film I was expecting more of the same but alas I was to be disappointed.This movie is just terrible.
I've seen some really bad films in my time, but this has to be up there with the best of the worst.
The actors is OK, but the plot and the fact that it never becomes funny make this film a must to miss.
They really tries to make some funny scenes in the movie, but nothing seams to work as in the first one..
Rated R for Language and Nudity.I have not seen the original 1982 film "Porky's".I have heard of it though.It was the highest grossing Canadian made film until "Bon Cop Bad Cop" came out.So I decided to watch Porky's II yesterday night when it was playing on IFC.Porky's II is a teen comedy.Its like the American Pie of the 1980's though I preferred American Pie.The film takes place in 1954, a day after the original Porky's.The film has some very funny moments and if you are a fan of teen comedies, check this one out.This film is about a bunch of teenagers who tries to stop some religious fanatics and the KKK from banning the Shakespeare school play.Many humorous things ensue.Porky's 2 is a very funny film and I recommend it for fans of films such as American Pie..
porky's II was sometimes funny, and entertaining, but it could'en top the first one because it just didn't deliver like the first one did.
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.
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.
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.
Back are all the same characters (except Porky!) but missing are the funny situations and much of the previous film's charm.
There are a few very funny moments, but nothing like we saw the first time around.Bob Clark was also in the midst of making A Christmas Story at the time.
However you slice it, the laughs just aren't there.Our story begins (like the title says) the very next morning after the boys destroyed Porky's nightclub.
There are various plots here and there: the kids are putting on a Shakespeare play and a local church considers Shakespeare obscene (???) and tries to close it down; a Seminole Indian has a part in it and the local KKK wants him out (remember--this was 1954); there's another gag to sexually humiliate Pee Wee (Dan Monahan) and Coach Balbreaker (Nancy Parsons) again has a cruel trick played on her.
Still I have to admit there were a few parts that got me laughing--when the dean of the school battles with the self-righteous reverend over Shakespeare being dirty they both quoting bits from the Bible and Shakespeare that are pretty racy (this is pretty intelligent for a sex comedy); a bit with Graveyard Gloria; one of the guys dressed as a corpse and getting totally drunk; a sword fight; the KKK getting what they deserve and Wendy Williams (Kaki Hunter) date with straight-laced Commissioner Gephardt (Edward Winter).
Luckily they have a good script and a top director (Bob Clark) helming this so it works.This isn't a good movie by any means but I'm giving it a 4 for the funny bits..
"Porky's" spawned 2 sequels nowhere as funny as the original and rather forgettable.
The same sex craved, funny bunch from Part I are now totally into a serious Shakespeare's school play and butt heads with the local KKK because they have an Indian kid in the cast..
It's hard to believe, that this movie takes place the next day, after you know....
There's some real lessons to be learn't here, and who would think this movie, would be the one, but still this doesn't compare with the originality and freshness of the first, despite this one having some genuine qualities, and some absolute screams of laughter scenes, in a somewhat calmer Porky's film.
The graveyard scene is pretty funny especially with the guys holding back the laughter.
Other than the graveyard, I didn't find this movie as funny as the original..
This first highly unnecessary sequel to "Porky's" again focuses on some bad guys getting their comeuppance, only this time I just really didn't care.
The plot about some religious fanatics trying to shut down the production of a Shakespeare play didn't really work for me, mainly because the villains are so over the top they throw you right out of this movie.
Well, just about everything ...The original Porky's helped to create the genre of the American high school sex-comedy - still a hugely popular and bankable theme today.
In the sequel the main motivation of the characters is to get a series of Shakespeare plays performed by their school drama group.
It takes some suspension of disbelief to think that the likes of Pee Wee and Meat are going to do battle with folk of angel beach so they put on the works of the great bard.The villains of this piece are also poorly realised.
The role of Miss Balbricker is downplayed and Porky (the title character!) doesn't even appear in the film.The "jokes" here are laboured, far outstaying their welcome.
To be this bad takes sausAGES.Fans of the Porky film are not hard to please.
It was well written and (Spoiler alert!!) features corrupt preachers, politicians and the KKK getting their comeuppance.The kids wanted to put on their play and they had to deal with two-faced people who wanted to stop them; preachers and politicians that are sooooo hypocritical...and that message still rings true today.Fantastic social commentary, watch it again if you didn't notice before.I don't understand why this movie has such a low rating on IMDb or why some folks called it crap.
With most of the original characters, this should have been pretty good, unfortunately it isn't.I Think the problem is, the first movie had a story and plenty to drive it forward, this one doesn't really have a plot, and although it tries hard to be funny, it never re-captures the humour of the first film (The Graveyard scene is pretty funny though - Especially the zombie)Even if you have seen and enjoyed the first, avoid this and go straight for something else, try Porky's Revenge (III) it,s better than this rubbish.3/10 (only because of the graveyard scene).
Porky's absence kind of takes away from this sequel, but Balbricker as a devoted "member of the flock" is kind of funny.
It would be comparable to watching a Friday the 13th sequel, and there are no killings, but it is about teens at camp who protest the death penalty and spend the entire movie being politically active.A horrible horrible waste of time.
The whole movie is a lefty political manifesto of Greenwich village flavour, rather than a mild sexy comedy with characters such as "meat" or "pee-wee".
I've seen this movie lots of times, and it remains one of the most funniest movies ever made in my book!The entire sex-starved gang of Angel Beach High have returned, with a few new faces for "Porky's 2: The Next Day", and they're more ripe than a truckload of bananas in this one.Talk about funny!
And there can never be another Bob Clark around to direct such funny, laugh-til-you-cry movies such as "Porky's 2".If you haven't seen this, then you're hurting!.
To say this dumb movie was based on shaky foundations would be a major understatement.Premise 1: a bunch of sex-starved, braindead teens (played by adults) actually give three craps about a school production of a Shakespeare play.
porky's was a smash hit so obviously there was going to be a sequel, and unsurprisingly it wasn't as funny as the first, did you expect it to be, but never the less its great to be with the gang again, and there are still some laugh out loud moments here, thanks mostly to the ever great 'pee wee'.
the most surprising thing about this movie for me was that the whole cast from the first one came back for this, and there is its ,main problem, there are simply to many characters simply standing around doing nothing, sure its great there there, but at least give them some good jokes to do.
