Ballbricker!

Why no triple feature with the first Porky's to condense shelf space?

Kino is putting it out rather than Fox who kept the rights to Porky's.

You know, I dont think I've ever seen porkys. I played the atari 2600 game into the ground when I was young, and I might have caught it once on Showtime back in the early 80's - but that would hardly count since I don't remember it at all.

Although I kind of enjoy the brainless goofy eighties teen sex romps - so if I find a good price for this, I might have to check it out.

This would open the door for other Fox titles to be put out by Kino. Might need a bit of... OOH! SHOCK TREATMENT!!!

I have never seen these. Do they at least come a little close to the original?

Not as good, but fun. Most of the original cast returns for the sequels, which is a plus to me.

Amazon has Porky's for under $9.00, you really can't go wrong with Porky's at that price. If you're thinking about picking up Porky's, this would be a good time to do so.

Fox still maintains the rights to Porky's: The Next Day and Porky's Revenge, they're just licensing the titles based upon their existing agreement with Kino.

This is immediate the first thing I thought of, but I would prefer it if Shout got the license as they would do a better job with it.

Porky's is the ultimate eighties sex romp.

[TripleHBK]

Can't wait for this! I'll definitely be snagging this one sooner rather than later.

The first two films were directed by Bob Clark, whereas the first film is more centered around Porky's club, the second film is centered more around the affect of local politics on a Shakespeare Festival at the school. As a band/theater geek I enjoy the 2nd film more for that reason, it is more relate-able to what I experienced in school. The 3rd film is about gambling and basketball and tries to redo what the first film did while trying to do what the 2nd film did as well, hardly a unique experience. It is enjoyable if you enjoyed the first 2 films and are interested in seeing the characters go through another romp together but it tries to do too much. IMHO.

I remember "The Next Day" being a strangely tame departure from the first film that was just boring, but I haven't seen it in a very long time. And I remember "Revenge" having its moments, but not very memorable either.

[SammymeBlu]

Will pick these up when price hits below $10,no hurry to own these as Porky's is leaps and bounds better than these 2 sequels combined.

A Kino title below $10? Good luck.

[rocknblues81]

The 2nd film is pretty uneven. It has it's moments, but the Shakespeare stuff gets in the way of the good fun.

We need Revenge of the Nerds 2 and Mischief licensed from Fox.

[Gardenofstone10]

Oh hell yeah!!! Been wanting these and the rest of the Revenge of the Nerds for so long! Good news!
