Plus shot in one continuous take which makes it even more special.

@@brocklanders4684 I was 17 yrs old and in my local cinema with a mate and we were crying with laughter, nothing like this movie had ever been done before. I'm 60 yrs old now and remember it like it was yesterday. Edit: 'We can get the Police sketch artist to do a sketch' was when I was on the floor. 😅😭😅

[@Abber64]

Porky's was truly the funniest movie I have ever seen. Even after watching it multiple times, I am still rolling on the floor laughing my guts out. Why can't movies today be like that?

[@josephgaviota]

It's hard to make a movie when they're not quite sure what a "woman" is.

[@michaelgomez3044]

Because Hollyweird has the woke mind virus.

[@marioStortuga]

Well People would be offended on being offended on being offended on even thinking of making a movie like this because they are to much into their feelings. Ultra feminist will be all twisted and left would have would call this an offense to everyone. Basically this time period is to soft and can't take raw humor like this.

[@gaskellr44]

I suppose American Pie, nearly 2 decades later is the same level of comedy?

[@josephgaviota]

Generation X! When movies were edited by your mother reaching over, and covering your eyes! 😂

[@HaXaW5150]

My mother carried me and a couple of buddies to see this, and even she had to laugh as hard as we did. She passed away in 1999, and I still think about how hard she laughed that night. It's one of my favorite memories.

[@turdwranglers2517]

I was in Grade 11 when this came out ..... WOW ... loved this movie !!! Talliwacker!! BEAUTIFUL !!

[@tomy.1846]

Born in 71, my first Porky's memory was in art class in 4th grade. My teacher always had newspapers taped down to the tables where we would paint. I remember seeing the newspaper ad for Porky's and I knew it was someting fun and naughty, lol! When my family got cable in 1983, it was on HBO all summer! Such great times! 😂🤣😂🤣

[@shannonbugeja3746]

Born in 74 and still piss myself laughing every time I watch it and I’ve watched it plenty of times I’m not a fan of the second one but Porkys Revenge is hilarious too.

[@robertfrick]

I was fortunate to have my father living in Miami Beach at the time and the exterior shots for Angel Beach High were all shot at the elementary school less than 200 yards from his apartment. I wasn’t there for the filming of Porkys, but was for Porkys 2 in the summer of 1982. It was one of the coolest things to see 1982 Miami Beach transformed to the 50s for two weeks with all the cars lined up on the surrounding streets. Watching the steps for filming and some of the actual filming was really an eye opening experience to see a glimpse of how movies were made. I was 18 at the time.

[@paulhunt4690]

Paul Michael Hunt here. After this movie I no longer told people my name was, Mike. Started going by , Paul.

[@thecoolcreativebuildchanne2613]

This movie had me rolling on the floor laughing when I saw it at age 16 when it was new, and it still cracks me up so much!!😂👍

[@SteveJarrott]

I became good friends with the late Tony Ganios (Meat). He told me of SO many behind the scenes info in a six hour interview he did on my podcast back in 2017. In his memory, I'm going to soon upload that interview to KZbin

[@rockywatchesmovies]

That would be a great thing to listen to

[@MrDan11422]

I was 10 years old when I watched this for the 1st time. There is no chance this kind of movie would ever be made today.

[@adrianhall5881]

Today's generation couldn't handle this movie. They'd be offended or something stupid. Great movie. Always will live it.

[@pricey6177]

The gym scene with the howling into the shower scene with the teacher into the principals office discussing the lineup was the funniest consecutive scenes i can ever remember. One of my all time fave movies.

[@Nhamp2000]

Because of the success of Porky's, Bob Clark was given the green light to work on a passion project that studios didn't want to make: A Christmas Story.

[@TheNameisPlissken1981]

Kim Cattrall said she felt "sexualized" by Porky's, yet she continued to work with director Bob Clark like 3 or 4 times!!

[@painkillerjones6232]

And didn't bother with any panties during the sex scene...

[@djSmokeShow]

Pathetic, her entire self created persona is all about being some sex kitten, and she has milked it for every dime. Ridiculous how many women do that and then scream victim.

[@johnqpublic331]

And has made a career from playing sexualised women.

[@coolhand1964]

Then went on to do 'Sex and the City'. She's gotten extremely wealthy from acting like a nymphomaniac.

[@patrickm6012]

It was the role not the director.

[@LaserRanger15]

There were some hilarious scenes in this. The principal's office, the "Lassie" scene...too bad the sequel was so lame.

[@ericsmith8373]

The 2nd movie wasn't that bad. Some funny stuff. The gym scene with the KKK. The restaurant scene with the fake vomit. "Boy! Sure tastes better going down". The third movie was directed by James Komack (produced "Welcome Back, Kotter"). That movie was painful to watch. It sucked so bad.

[@kenlowe8659]

When I was 14yrs old a friend of mine and I talked my mom too take us to see the movie. We convinced her it was about Porky pig. Should have seen the look on her face. Not happy

[@u8tfu]

I was 15 and talked my stepdad into taking me and a buddy to see Porky’s and in his 80’s now he still laughs about it with me. I’d bet your mom may have laughed at some point.

Some of the loudest laughter I have ever heard in any cinema was watching the original Porky's in Florida during the 1982 run. They put together a solid ensemble cast without having needing any movie stars.

[@robertsandidge441]

Porkey’s ? Oh my God there’s a flashback. But I swear never ever in my life have I laughed so hard the first time watching the scene with Ballbreaker and the Principal and a wee wee line up. Hahahahaaa memories.

I remember seeing it with a bunch of teenaged fiends (both male & female), when it opened in Richmond, London. When we came out, all of our sides we aching so much from laughing out loud! Lassie, and the scene in the Principle’s office were comedy gold.

[@johnvijver3815]

In the 80's i bought a vhs bootleg at a fair of this movie on recommendation of the seller saying it was a great comedy and we watched it with the family, we were laughing out loud, the best comedy ever.

[@FeralPlumber]

The principals office scene is pure comic genius.....iconic.

[@dsesuk]

I first saw this on the black-and-white TV late night in my bedroom c1990. I recall my dad going to bed and hovering outside my room while I covered the glare of the screen with my pillow so it wouldn't show under the door. I'm pretty sure he'd seen the TV schedule for that evening and knew what I was likely up to. Thankfully, he went to bed and I didn't miss anything important to the plot!

[@RodgerRamjet]

its one of the funniest movies ever made.. and ranks up there with Animal House in hilarity, re-watchability, .. i laughed so hard in one scene, i almost sprained a rib muscle.. i have loved Kim Cattral ever since this movie.. and is STILL a babe, and a wonderful actress...

[@goldiefish72]

When I was a teenager in the 80s, this was shared on VCR in the 80s version of the darkweb in my school( Ireland). My friends of that time, now in our mid 50s, still have a private laugh anytime anyone says "Lassie".

Much better than it should have been. But the same could be said for Porky's. Underneath all the nudity and high jinks was a social commentary about Florida in the 1950s with anti-Semitism (Mickey vs. Brian, and Mickey eventually standing up to abusive and bigoted father) and the role of corrupt police in allowing Porky's to exist.

I've been watching a bunch of their old shows. They really are super uptight, especially Gene, and they seem to hate all genre movies just on principle. I saw the one where they review Rock and Roll High school. If I remember correctly, Gene hated it and Roger gave it a "sort of ok" 🙄

[@jaketschida7016]

Hands down it is the best trilogy ever made! How in the world could they give it an "X" rating when every other movie out there had nudity in it? Unless you were making a gut busting comedy or a on the edge of your seat action movie in the 80s' to have a successful movie you needed nudity and sex scenes! Just like Blazing Saddles you couldn't make a movie like that today!
