Goofs:

Continuity: The film takes place the day after the events in Porky's (1982). In the original film, both Mickey and Tim were roughed up late in the film. Both can be seen with cuts and bandages on their faces. In Mickey's case, he is also seen limping and with crutches. All wounds have disappeared the next day.

Quotes:

Wendy: Do you know how I got my reputation?
Pee Wee: How?
Wendy: In the 8th grade, I didn't know anything. A bunch of guys wanted to get me to go skinny dipping, I didn't want to but I didn't care if they did so I just watched. I thought it was funny, flopping around...the next day I was a slut, the original mattress-back.

Revenge of the 80's: The multiple sequels.

Porky's II: The Next Day (1983) was suppose to take place "The next day" but it looks like two years have passed by. The cast is older and the laughs are not as plentiful as in part one, but it's still entertaining. This time the gang wants to participate in the school's Shakesphere play. But a local religious right group (along with the female physical education teacher) is strongly and morally opposed to the teaching of" perversion and filth in the classrooms". The gang is miffed at these stuffed shirt uptight stiffs, so they decide to take action against them just like they did against the last person who tried to keep them down.

Great stuff, not as brilliant as the first film but there's enough sleaze and toilet humor that'll keep it's fans entertained. The 'kids" are starting to look like adults (bags, wrinkles and thinning scalps and receding hairlines). For god's sake they should have ended the series at this point. But no, the film-makers just had to make one more picture.
