But when they're kicked out of a strip club after the owner, Porky (Chuck Mitchell), takes their money, they plot revenge. While they try to get back at him, they deal with other teen troubles, including Pee Wee's worries that his "equipment" is shrinking, their sexually opinionated gym teacher (Kim Cattrall) and a spy hole in the girl's locker room.

Programmer's Pick
Porky's is the granddaddy of high school sex comedies: messy, lewd, and utterly unfiltered. Between swampy strip club shenanigans and the infamous locker room escapades, it’s a reminder that Canuxploitation can be just as raunchy as its American cousins.
