Porky's II: The Next Day (1983) Reviews
Just another "Day"....
If you liked the original (which I did) and expect the same level of "sophistication" here, don't. 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 at least Miss Balbricker (Parsons) gets her comeuppance thanks to a snake in a most unexpected place. And as far as verbal intelligence goes, its highlight comes when the principal (Christmas) tell Reverend Flavel (Wiley) what to do with his flock. And if that isn't the level of sophistication you were hoping for, consider yourself warned. Four stars. Boogedy, boogedy, boogedy!
Poor
Porky's 2 was saddled with the unenviable task of following up The Most Successful Film In Canadain History(TM). It had the majority of the original cast and the same writer/director - what could possibly go wrong? 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. Whilst the original creamed $111 million at the US box office, the sequel only scored a limp $33 million. The problem with Porky's II is that it is supposed to be a sex-comedy, yet it has no sex and very little comedy. Whilst the original film had a pretty flimsy plot, at least it had one. The characters had clear motives, be it getting laid or taking revenge on Porky's. In the sequel the main motivation of the characters is to get a series of Shakespeare plays performed by their school drama group. Yes, that's right - they are no longer seeking out the pleasures of strip bars, peeping on the girls showers or trying to bed nubile cheerleaders - they want to perform a midsummer night's dream. It's hard to come up with a more poorly conceived plot device for the Porky's series. 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. There is an extremely annoying hypocritical Reverend and a slimy politician. 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. The best (worst?) example of this is the final scene in the restaurant where Wendy exacts revenge on the duplicitous politician. It is a scene so overdone, so overacted that it is painful to watch. To be this bad takes sausAGES. Fans of the Porky film are not hard to please. Take some low brow comedy, add in copious amounts of gratuitous nudity and start counting in the cash. Remove these elements and you are left with a 90 minute waste of celluloid.
the best one of the trilogy
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!
Porky's II: The Next Day (Bob Clark, 1983) **
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. Scenes that particularly stand out are the 'Shakespeare v. 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)!
Funnier than the first. But watch Porky's and Porky's II together.
Porky's II: The next Day is even funnier than the forst Porky's, but should be seen together. Watch Porky's (1981) first, then Porky's II: The Next Day (1983). By now you may notice the cast has developed a repertoire and delivery similar to the Dead End Kids/ East Side Kids/ Bowery Boys of 1937-1958, comedic-wise that is. This film is NOT for children to see. As usual, there is plenty of male nudity, several full frontal, and female nudity as well. I will not spoil the surprises of storyline. 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. I doubt that male indians would partake in such an auditorium gathering but keeping in mind, this is only a comedy movie. However, I am glad the bris scene did not go any further. Kaki Hunter is a hoot in her star-bangled character. I was rolling on the floor with laughter. The dirty words in Shakespeare Vs. dirty words in the Holy Bible two-man duet is a riot, too. Continue watching this film during the end credits for more adult scenes. The next film is Porky's Revenge (1985).
