Porky's is a 1982 comedy film about the escapades of teenagers at the fictional Angel Beach High School in Florida in 1954. It was released in the United States in 1982, and spawned two sequels: Porky's II: The Next Day (1983) and Porky's Revenge! (1985) and influenced many writers in the teen film genre. It is the second-highest grossing Canadian-produced film in history behind Resident Evil: Afterlife.

plot:

The main plot concerns the efforts of a group of Florida high school students in 1954 intent on losing their virginity. The group consists of bad boy Tommy Turner, socially-awkward Edward "Pee Wee" Morris, star athlete Anthony "Meat" Tuperello, proud redneck Mickey Jarvis, Billy McCarthy (who acts as the voice of reason for the group), and bigot Tim Cavanaugh. They (minus Billy) travel to Porky's bar located outside of town on the basis of a rumor that if one pays Porky the owner, one can hire a prostitute. Initially reluctant, he takes the kids' money and promises them "a night to remember" and then humiliates them by dumping them in the swamp. When the group demand their money back, the sheriff, who turns out to be Porky's brother, arrives to drive them away, but not before his minions extort the rest of their money and cause them more embarrassment. After Mickey (who returned to Porky's for revenge) is beaten so badly he has to be hospitalized, the gang becomes hellbent on exacting revenge on Porky and his brother, eventually succeeding in sinking his bar in the swamp. Porky and his men, joined by the sheriff, chase after the group, but they make it across the county line (where Porky's brother is out of jurisdiction), where they are met by a group of the local police officers, one of whom is Mickey's older brother Ted, and the high school band. After Ted repeatedly damages Porky's car, he says that all charges against Porky for driving an unsafe vehicle will be dropped if the night's events are forgotten. Because the boys were too young to be legally allowed in Porky's in the first place, he and his brother have no choice but to agree. The film ends with the group getting their revenge and Pee Wee finally losing his virginity. A subplot of the film concerns the boys' peeping on female students in their locker room shower through unused drain openings. After (apparently) several unsuccessful attempts, Tommy, Billy and Pee Wee hit "the mother lode ... the biggest beaver shoot in the history of Florida" (several naked girls showering), but Pee Wee gives them away when he shouts at a particularly fat girl (who has been blocking his view) to move so he can see. While a few girls run out, most stay, finding the situation funny. To test their attitude, Tommy sticks his tongue out through his peephole, but gets it smeared with soap. Infuriated, he drops his pants and sticks his penis through the opening just before female coach Beulah Balbricker (who has a running feud with Tommy) walks into the shower area. Spotting the protruding member, she sneaks up on Tommy, grabs his protruding part and pulls with all her might. Fortunately, Tommy finally manages to pull free and escape, but Beulah is now determined to prove that the offending member (which has a mole on it) belongs to Tommy, going so far as to request that Principal Carter hold a police-type line-up of the boys in the nude so she can identify it. The film ends with Ms. Balbricker sneaking out of the bushes to ambush Tommy and actually dragging his pants down, but she is pulled off of him by police and dragged away screaming that she saw "it" and that she can identify him.
