Bob Clark had a very interesting and varied career in his day. He seems to be best remendres for his comedies like this one and of course A CHRISTMAS STORY. They forget things of a genre nature like BLACK CHRISTMAS, DEATH DREAM and MURDER BY DECREE. He was a great filmmaker. PORKY'S a huge success and a cable hit, and that is certainly due in part to its outlandish sexual content, but it shouldn't be underrated as a great script as well. It is one of the most intelligent, clever and well-observed sex comedies ever made and that is why I believe it had such great success and has stood the test of time as a classic of the genre.
Special Features:
-Audio commentary with director Bob Clark. This is a great track. Since the movie is based on a lot of Clark's own experiences, he has a lot of fun insights as to what bits are based on true stories and so forth. He's just an engaging, intellegent speaker so it's fun to hear him discuss the movie at length.
-PORKY'S Through the Peephole: Bob Clark Looks Back (15 mins)
Director Clark recalls the origins of PORKY'S and how the stories in it originated with him and his high school experiences and expanded out from there. He also discusses the difficulties he had getting the movie off the ground (it was a 15 year process to finally get it made).
-Skin Classic (11 mins)
'Mr. Skin' from Mrskin.com talks about how much he loves PORKY'S and why (and how he believes that the group shower scene in the movie is still one of the best if all-time).
