Pretty Good
It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
The gang at Angel Beach high school Pee Wee, Tommy Turner, Meat, Billy, Wendy Williams and Brian Schwartz are about to graduate. They're caught watching a stag film by Balbricker but Billy and Tommy Turner talk out of it with Mr. Carter. The cheerleaders promise the boys an orgy after a basketball win but they play a trick on them. Coach is threatened by Porky's thugs for his gambling debt. Brian leads the boys to Porky's to help Coach. On the way, the guys leave Meat behind with butterface Blossom who turns out to be Porky's daughter. Porky has reopened his club into an illegal riverboat casino. The boys offer to throw the state championship in exchange for Coach's debt. Afterwards Brian convinces everybody to doublecross Porky by winning the game.I really like the first 20 minutes. It's irreverent and it's fun. I like the boys especially with Wendy Williams. The cheerleaders' party is fun. But the fun slowly drains away. There isn't only one cause. It stops being light fun. Also watching white guys play weekend basketball isn't the most compelling. It's not like they are terribly funny at it either. Wendy gets sideline and downgraded to a girl once again. The franchise is done.
Obviously not as good as the first movie, but sequels never are. And since this is a third installment, well, you can't have too high of expectations. Even so, it was fairly amusing. True, the actors were a bit too old to pass for high school. Special shout-outs to Dan Monahan, who will always be Pee Wee. Also to Kaki Hunter, who had a certain charisma. Apparently she left the film business back in the Eighties. Too bad. Also notable was Rose McVeigh, who carried an extended scene that was not that funny, but she kept a straight face and carried on like a pro. Overall, no one is going to watch this if they haven't seen the previous films, and that's just as well.
for so many reasons, this film had Porky. It had less characters and plus it was time for graduation. Porky's Revenge is about Pee-Wee and what's left of the gang to save Meat from getting married and to help coach goodenough win the championship basketball game. It has funny stuff with sex, quirky lines and a cool ending that is better than the first two i won't give it a strong recommadation, but i will give it a 6/10.
Well those involved in the "Porky's" series should pat themselves on the back. I mean they made three films that are all just thrown together and have absolutely no worth and yet they still made a good amount of money in the early-1980s. The 1980s was a chaotic time for the cinema. It seems that there were more hacks in Hollywood than there had ever been before. Maybe it is just me. Oh well I am glad to see the series end. I will not miss it at all. "Porky's Revenge" easily earns a place in cinematic turkey hell. Turkey (0 stars out of 5).
