Porky's

Porky’s is a 1981 Canadian Comedy that is considered the King of all Teen-Sex comedies of the 1980’s.

The movie was released in the United States in 1982.

The film starred a cast of young, virtually unknown actors.

The film spawned two sequels, “Porky’s 2: The Next Day” (1983) and “Porky’s Revenge” (1985)

Adjusting for inflation, it is the highest grossing Canadian-Produced film of All-Time. The 2006 film “Bon Cop, Bad Cop” (I’ve never heard of it either..) has grossed more, but adjusting to early 80’s inflation, Porky’s is still the leader.

It was directed by Bob Clark who would go on and direct the Christmas Classic “A Christmas Story“.

To date, the film has grossed over $111 Million worldwide.

The film did nothing to launch the acting careers of any of it’s young stars…..with one notable exception.

A brunette Kim Cattrall appeared in the film as Miss “Lassie” Honeywell, who has a very memorable (and loud) scene in the film. (Ya’ll know which one I am talking about…) Kim has gone on to have, by far, the most successful career of all the young actors in the film, at least here in the US.

This film had me in stitches the first time I saw it, and it still has the same effect 30 years later.
