Great visuals, story delivers no surprises
Better Late Then Never
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
View MoreIt's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
View MoreYes that pig bastard is back to claim his revenge, his wild bordello, now a boat. Running into strife, paying off some gambling debts to Porky, the Angel Beach guys, looking older (though they we're old in their parts to begin with, but back then you could get away with it) try to reason out a deal with their arch nemeses, none too happy to see them, after their last encounter. Though still having it's moments, this pic has outworn it's welcome, the actors still giving their all, and staying true to their characters, a new hot chick popping up in this, with big, you know, part of our undersexed Pee Wee's dreams that became a triumphant reality, in the end. Too, Ballbreaker and the Angel Beach gang finally make a truce. You can't be angry forever. There are some quite familiar scenes, like Pee Wee's morning, 'Mum walking in' routine, plus another revenge from the boys in relation to Porky's business when Meat is kidnapped. He is forced to marry Porky's daughter who makes her pops good looking, and as you can guess, Meat, has a complete different agenda. Pee Wee is again made a brunt of the guy's remarks, pranks, one backfiring. The soundtrack among excerpts of other fifties tracks, "High School Nights" rocks. Not a disappointing effort, this Porky's I still quite like, but there's a time where you have to quit. Enough is enough. This will still go down as a hit with most Porky's fans, although, story wise it was a bit thin, I mean gambling debts. Trivia note. Flipper's Sandy (Luke Halpin) was the scuba technical adviser on this movie, oh how he's career changed.
View MoreAfter the disappointing sequel this third Porky flick goes back to the more raunchy approach of the first one. The opening with perfect Swedish Inga is classic, and overall there are more boobies than ever to admire. The plot revolves (somewhat) the basketball coach being in debt with Porky and ends up with a reasonable finale - hip '80s synthesizer soundtrack included! In between there are some fine and funny scenes (grandma, the two teachers, Beulah) that can pretty much measure up with the original Porky, in my opinion. Another funny things is that Blossom is made out to be unattractive, but really she's kinda of cute... and fít, as the British would say.Enjoyed myself, but the first Porky is the best. Still: (a small) 6 out of 10 for this one, too.
View MoreThe last part of the epic "Porky's"-trilogy is undeniably the weakest, mainly because it feels so straight to video. The production often seems lazy and cheap, and the director didn't exactly work overtime ever. Basketball has never looked this lackluster. The screenwriter tries his best to copy the style of the original, but the way things are directed makes the raunch look nasty rather than funny. The scene with Tommy and Balbricker, presumably one of the most hilarious scenes in the movie, just kinda made me ashamed for watching this. Has it come to this, I wondered, as Balbricker attempted to pull down his underwear for minutes straight. The only redeeming factor left are the actors, that surprisingly still look like they want to be there. Pee Wee is always entertaining, even if he doesn't get to do much. It's still Pee Wee. I also appreciate that Porky is back for the occasion, even though his evil plan makes little sense. And why is he telling people about it? That's just asking to be stopped. Either way, this is not too bad for a second sequel, but it's just so clearly not by the original makers.
View Morefor 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.
