After the box-office success of Porky’s, Bob Clark lensed this bawdy sequel, which surprisingly takes on controversial social/sexual issues just as prevalent today as ever. When the high school bunch from Angel Beach have their Shakespeare production threatened with a shutdown by a preacher (Bill Wiley) and his flock for being obscene, the youths make a plea to county commissioner Gebhardt (Edward Winter) to intervene. Promising he’ll make things right, he instead sides with the clergyman, seeing it as good for his re-election bid with the more conservative citizens. The KKK also comes out of the woodwork since a Seminole Native American (Joseph Runningfox) is slated to play Romeo to a white Juliet (Wendy, played by Kaki Hunter). PeeWee (Dan Monahan) and gang (Wyatt Knight, Mark Herrier, et. al) plot a series of pranks to not only record the hypocritical Gebhardt and cronies having a porno movie party but to humiliate the Klan members and insure Gebhardt is thrown out of office.
“Once again, the proceedings have been directed with high energy and rapid pace by Bob Clark, and the results are slicker and more sophisticated than before… high art is not among the aspirations of Porky’s II. But lots of lowdown fun? Well, that’s another matter.” – Lawrence Van Gelder, The New York Times
