It's the next day. Pee Wee is now overly confident having had sex with Wendy vowing to get a girl for the boys to gangbang. He gets librarian-by-day Graveyard Gloria for them. The gang is joining the school drama club's production of An Evening With Shakespeare. Miss Balbricker sees Shakespeare as obscene and tries to stop it with Reverend Bubba Flavel's help. Commissioner Gebhardt reneges on his promise to the kids. The local Ku Klux Klan joins the opposition due to a Seminole Indian student playing Romeo opposite Wendy playing Juliet.There are a couple of missing characters from the original. It's a problem because this is THE NEXT DAY. Elevating Wendy is a good move. The Reverend and the KKK are way too broad to be compelling and too serious to be funny, the KKK more than the Reverend actually. The Indian character is ill-fitting to a broad sex-romp comedy. The graveyard scene is pretty funny especially with the guys holding back the laughter. I just find the broad opposition to the play unfunny. Other than the graveyard, I didn't find this movie as funny as the original.

Though many people refuse to laugh at the original, this quickly produced sequel is difficult for even die-hard fans of the series to laugh at. Back are all the same characters (except Porky!) but missing are the funny situations and much of the previous film's charm. What we're left with is a heavy-handed story about religious fanatics and the KKK trying to disrupt a Shakespeare festival at the kids' school. There are a few very funny moments, but nothing like we saw the first time around.Bob Clark was also in the midst of making A Christmas Story at the time. In fact the "major award" from that film can be found in one scene in this film. Maybe he was distracted. Maybe the fact that he shared the writing duties with two other people this time also caused problems. However you slice it, the laughs just aren't there.Our story begins (like the title says) the very next morning after the boys destroyed Porky's nightclub. Curious though how Micky, who was on crutches and had bandages all over his face from a previous visit to the infamous club, now is all healed and looks normal! It's goofs like this that make you wonder why on Earth they needed to have the story continue the very next day. Especially since the story in this film in no way has anything to do with what happened in the previous film. There are other problems we must take a look at....Porky's II seems to have more naked men than women! I cannot recall a mainstream film with more male frontal nudity. And most of it is from old men! It's hard to fathom who the target audience was for this type of material. Some of the pranks the boys commit in this film are just mean-spirited. We all know the female gym teacher Miss Balbricker is a bitch, but sending a snake up the toilet she's sitting on may be going too far. It's more creepy than funny. And how anyone but perhaps an experienced plumber could know exactly what pipe to put the snake into so it would come up through the right toilet is beyond me.The film also suffers from trying to take itself too seriously. Sure the KKK are a bunch of skunks, but taking them on wouldn't seem like a laughing matter. Especially back in the 1950s when this film takes place. You could really get killed for messing around with those guys.There are some nuggets of humor to be found if you dig in the right place, though. There is a hilarious scene in a graveyard where Pee Wee is made a fool of when he thinks he has the upper hand. Seeing what eventually happens to the KKK members is also worth a good chuckle.The film made a nice chunk of change, but nothing like part 1. If you're looking for additional laughs, give Porky's Revenge a try. That film is decidedly less self-righteous, and gives the gang plenty of zany things to get mixed up in. A nice return to the roots of the series, you could say.The 4.0 this film is scoring sounds about right to the Hound. 4 of 10 stars for Porky's II.

Having enjoyed the original Porky's film I was expecting more of the same but alas I was to be disappointed.This movie is just terrible. The villains are completely over the top right wing caricatures (who curiously are always convenient bad guys in movies !) who our liberal heroes must humiliate and put in their place.Smug self righteous drivel ! That whole scene in the gym with the KKK members is just so stupid.Tommy and his friends would be too wussy to take them on alone so guess what ? They fill the gym with burly native Americans ! Kids in 50s America would never have been this liberal as another contributor pointed out.My advice folks is stay away from this self righteous rubbish.

Old actors posing as teenagers, impossible scenarios of youngsters fighting by themselves racism and local town officials, is there any other movie less appropriate for fun? Plain disappointment, avoid it as possible. The plot is zero, they weren't prepared for any success with the first Porky, so they did not gather too many ideas for the second. It should have been a famous comedy, instead it turned out as being a strange cocktail of a propaganda movie (how fun is it to be a young American high-schooler), impossible situations (reverends fighting against Shakespeare plays), tasteless and unconvincing nakedness scenes (abuse of male bare behinds especially). It must have been quite a shock at the time the film came out, now it's completely stupid.
