    • Trivia
      Writer/director Bob Clark gathered material for the movie over a 15 year period. The story is composite of incidents collected from the males of his generation along with some of his own personal memories from growing up in high school.
    • Goofs
      A boom mic is visible in the upper right hand corner in the trees of the school parking lot, as Mickey walks forward to ask Billy and Tommy if the plans for Cherry Forever are set for the night.
    • Quotes

      Balbricker: [1:07:15] Now, Mr. Carter. I know this is completely unorthodox. But I think this is the only way to find that boy. Now that penis had a mole on it - I'd recognize that penis anywhere. In spite of the juvenile snickers of some, this is a serious matter. That seducer and despoiler must be stopped; he's extremely dangerous. And, Mr. Carter, I'm certain that everyone in this room knows who that is. He's a contemptible little pervert who...

      Mr. Carter: [abrupt] Miss Balbricker!

      Balbricker: Well, I'm sorry, but I've got him now, and I'm not going to let him slip through my fingers again

      [a murmur of mirth rises from several occupants]

      Balbricker: . Now, all I'm asking is that you give me five boys for a few minutes. The coaches can be present - Tommy Turner and any four boys you see fit to choose and we... and we... can put a stop to this menace. And it is a menace.

      [pause]

      Balbricker: [irritably] Well, what are you gonna do about it?

      [Carter hums and hars]

      Mr. Carter: Err

      [finally speaks]

      Mr. Carter: Five young boys in the nude, a police line-up so that you can identify his tallywhacker.

      [sighs]

      Mr. Carter: Please, please can we call it a "tallywhacker"? Penis is so ppp... penis is so personal.

      Balbricker: We can put hoods over their heads to avoid embarrassment

      [Carter repeats "Hoods" in disbelief]

      Balbricker: . Now listen: we have got to do it, as distasteful as it is. I know it's him. That

      [pause]

      Balbricker: tallywhacker had a mole on it. And that mole is the key to it.

      Mr. Carter: Miss Balbricker, do you realize the difficulty of your request? Now, I would be very happy to, uh, to apprehend the young man myself. But can you imagine what the board of education would say if you were granted a line-up in order to examine their private pa... aaa... their... yaha...

      [composes himself]

      Mr. Carter: their private parts

      [now firmly]

      Mr. Carter: for an incriminating mole?

      Balbricker: But Mr. Carter.

      Coach Brakett: [stops stifling his giggling and speaks up] Mr. Carter, I think I have a way out of this. We, uh, call the police, and we have 'em send over one of their sketch artists.

      [Carter rolls his eyes]

      Coach Brakett: And Miss Balbricker can give a description. We can put up "Wanted" posters all over school... "Have you seen this prick?

      [Carter struggles not to grin]

      Coach Brakett: Report immediately to Beulah Balbricker. Do not attempt to apprehend this prick, as it is armed and dangerous.

      [falls off his chair]

      Coach Brakett: It was last seen hanging out in the girls' locker room at Angel Beach High School."

      [everyone including Carter falls about laughing in hysterics as an enraged Balbricker storms out in a fury]

    • Crazy credits
      As the end credits roll, an additional scene is shown featuring Pee-wee and Wendy on a school bus. Also, Balbricker returns one final time in her never-ending quest to punish the boys.
    • Alternate versions
      In a tv version, the boys are wearing underwear as they run from Cherry Forever's house. In the theatrical version they cover themselves with their hands.

    Telephone call for Michael.....
    Porky's is the original teen sex comedy.

    I had the great pleasure of seeing Porky's in a late night showing on opening day in March 1982 in a theater packed to the gills with 18-25 year olds (although I was 30). I hurt for 3 days from laughing so hard.

    There is a portion of the movie, beginning close to the 1 hour mark that is the absolute funniest 14 minutes ever put on film. This includes these three hilarious scenes: Coach and Lassie in the boys locker room (Coach Brackett finds out why they call Miss Honeywell Lassie), then it segues to the guys peeping through the holes into the girls shower room, where Beulah Balbricker gets a 'handle' on Tommy's situation, immediately followed by the scene with Coach Brackett, Coach Warren and Head Coach Goodenough in Principal Carter's office with Beulah describing the "incriminating mole". There were people out of their seats, laying on the floor of the theater screaming with laughter. I have yet to see another motion picture invoke this kind of hilarity in a movie theater. I saw it in the theater 2 or 3 times in it's original theatrical run with the same response. When it became available, I bought the VHS copy, then the laser disc copy and when I got the DVD a few month's ago, I watched it for the zillionth time and I still laugh my butt off when I see those scenes. The acting is great for a bunch of no-names, there are actually great multiple plot-lines (in addition to the typical "get laid at any cost" plot) and the cinematography, editing and sound is above average. They made this movie in 90 days for less than $4 million and it grossed $7 million opening weekend and has grossed over $100 million in theaters to date, most of that in 1982 dollars. The only thing I can say bad about Porky's is that they should have stopped after the first one. The first pathetic sequel (The Next Day) lacked humor, the second sequel (Porky's Revenge) had 30-year-olds playing teenagers and they had long-since lost their youthful charm.
