Porky's (1981)

Porky's Movie Poster
A

rguably one of the best teen movies of the 80's and a true comedy classic!

This hilarious, raunchy comedy hit that spawned two sequels takes an unblushing look at teenage adolescence in the 1950's. It follows the comic misadventures of six high schoolers whose most fervent wish is to find some sexual satisfaction at Porky's, a notorious honky-tonk strip joint.

Porky's is essentially about a group of six high school students that are always looking for a quick way to score. They decide that one night they would visit Porky's, a notorious strip joint out in the Florida Everglades. Needless to say, Porky doesn't take a liking to them, and he doesn't just throw them out of his club, but steals their money (With the aid of the local sheriff) from the boys in the process.

This film is about their revenge on Porky. Of course, along the way the gang gets into some pretty good mischief. Leading up to one of the greatest revengeful plots of all time. Reminding everybody... "Get it... At Porky's."

The movies features actors Kim Cattrall (Big Trouble In Little China) and Tony Ganios (Die Hard 2).

Much more information on the movie and all the best pictures are to be found at the sites listed in the links section.

Don't forget that Porky's is now available to order on Widescreen DVD using our special 80s Retro Assistant...

Literally a legend in its era, Porky's was one of, if not the movie that started the whole 'teen movie' phenomena...

Did you know?

A remake of Porky's written by Bob Clark and Savage Steve Holland called "Howard Stern's Porky's", is due out sometime in 2007. -Thanks to Kara Petty


Scott Colomby (Brian) turned 30 the same year Porky's came out.

Believe it or not, director Bob Clark also directed A Christmas Story. In fact, studios didn't want to produce it but allowed Clark to make it so he would do another Porky's movie. -Thanks to Christine Gieseke

As of mid-1999, this was still the highest-grossing movie made in Canada.

Typecast? Kim Cattrall (Honeywell) plays yet another sex-raving role in "Sex And The City".

This is Kim Cattrell's first nude scene and maybe her only one up until she did 'Sex and the city'. Some may argue she did a nude scene in 'Live Nude Girls' but she was wearing a teddy for that love scene. -Thanks to Lisa

The actor who played Porky's Brother (the police man) and the actress who played the hooker (married to the black man supposedly) are the famous on-duel couple of "Webster": and for those who don't know are a real life couple. I have yet to see either one do a movie or tv show without the other. -Thanks to Lisa

One of the top collector pinball machines is a game called "NIP IT".. produced by BALLY in 1969-1970. In the climatic scene... when the boys from ANGEL BEACH pull PORKY'S down, look closely as the place collaspses into the water: there is a "NIP IT" pinball machine sitting on the deck and low and behold, goes right into the water along with the rest of PORKY'S! -Thanks to DEREK MOORE

The sexy thin girl Wendy was played by Kaki Hunter. Kaki currently resides in Moab, Utah where she is white water rafting instructor and is also involved with earth bag building. She has written a book about it. I have talked with her on several occasions, and she is very open about her experience with the Porky's Triology.

Bob Clark is perhaps best known for "A Christmas Story," but also made the 1974 shocker "Black Christmas," considered by many to be a modern horror classic. -Thanks to apchat

I was on the crew of the original Porky's film. The exterior of Porky's was built on what is now Oleanta state park just off Sunny Isles Blvd. In North Miami.

The final scene where Porky crosses the county line was shot on what is now the North Miami Campus of Florida Int'l University. In 1982 it was just empty roads running through the woods. The location was about 3/4 mile south of the University's 151st street entrance.

The High School exteriors (and the courtyard) were shot at a former school on Miami Beach (Miami Senior High). The night dance scene and the exterior "secret" entrance to the girls shower were also shot here. The shower was a set built for the film.

The interior of Porky's was filmed in a now demolished restaurant just off the 79th street causeway in Miami (Frank Sinatra also made a movie there in the 60's).

Cherry Forever's house was built as a set in Greynold's Park in North Miami Beach.

The beach restaurant (site of the "Mike Hunt" gag) was filmed on Hollywood Beach (Florida). [Thanks to Porky's crew member]

The school Gymnasium shown in the movie is at Miami Senior High located in Miami, Florida. [Thanks to Alexander Farfan and Kat]
