Porky's II: The Next Day 1983

The curtain rises on a scene reminiscent of the preceding Porky’s film, as Edward “Pee Wee” Morris (Dan Monahan) awakens from a slumber filled with euphoria, triumphantly exclaiming, “I’ve been laid!” His juvenile enthusiasm is palpable, and his maturity chart, kept hidden under his mattress, bears witness to the newfound experience. Although his libido appears subdued, Pee Wee attributes this to a temporary reprieve after the novelty of intimacy has worn off.

As Mrs. Morris (Ilse Erl) enters his bedroom, Pee Wee’s excitement is momentarily interrupted by an unexpected visitor. Her expression turns incredulous upon laying eyes on the graphic chart, revealing her son’s newfound exploits. Back at Angel Beach High School, Pee Wee boasts about his conquest of Wendy Williams (Kaki Hunter), claiming to have snatched her away from the other boys. His friends, however, are quick to deflate his ego, pointing out that Wendy didn’t seem too impressed by their friend’s alleged exploits.

Pee Wee’s insecurities are further fueled when he learns that Wendy had actually been pleased with the experience. As the Drama Club prepares for a Shakespearean production at the upcoming theater festival, Pee Wee finds himself growing increasingly jealous of Wendy, who is suddenly the center of attention. She cautions him about the dangers of spreading gossip and advises him to focus on building genuine relationships.

Meanwhile, the school’s science class becomes a battleground when Pee Wee interrupts a dissection lesson, much to the dismay of his teacher (Howard Neu). The incident leads to Pee Wee being unfairly reprimanded for a joke he didn’t even tell. As tensions simmer beneath the surface, Tommy Turner (Wyatt Knight), Tim Cavanaugh (Cyril O’Reilly), Billy McCarthy (Mark Herrier), and Anthony “Meat” Tuperello (Tony Ganios) – Pee Wee’s loyal gang of friends – welcome new student Johnny Henry (Joseph Runningfox) into their fold. The newcomer will join forces with Pee Wee and Tommy to take the stage in a dramatic performance of Shakespearean proportions.

Here is the rephrased section:

As Anthony donned the outlandish garb of a god fairy, ridicule rained down from all quarters, particularly at the hands of Pee Wee. Their plan to disguise themselves as mortals and sneak into the carnival was only slightly more successful, with their gaze fixed on a captivating young woman performing a sultry dance akin to the dance of the seven veils. The boys paid a visit to Gloria, her emcee (Peter Conrad) in tow, but Pee Wee’s reluctance to don his fairy costume led to a rather comical spectacle. Forced onto the stage, he emerged looking like a verdant Puck, complete with pointed ears and a mischievous grin.

Just as the curtain began to close on this farcical interlude, the arrival of Coach Ms. Beulah Balbricker (Nancy Parsons) and Reverend Bubba Flavel (Bill Wiley) brought an abrupt end to the festivities. These self-appointed moral arbiters demanded that the play be shut down due to its perceived lascivious content and the casting of Johnny Henry in the lead role. The group took their case to Principal Mr. Floyd J. Carter (Eric Christmas), where Rev. Flavel’s impassioned plea against the production’s supposed filth was met with a mixture of disdain and incredulity.

The evening that followed saw Pee Wee embarking on another escapade, this time finding himself in the company of yet another young woman at the local cemetery. His hasty retreat was soon revealed to be nothing more than a prank, as he shed his clothes to reveal his stark nakedness. Laura’s subsequent wrapping herself around Pee Wee created an unsettling tableau that left Steve and Tommy convinced that their friend had gone too far - this time, they even accused him of murder. As the authorities failed to intervene, Pee Wee was forced to flee once more, only to be startled by Steve’s gruesome zombie disguise.

The following day brought yet another controversy to light: a dummy had been placed against Johnny Henry, a Native American, in a compromising position with a white girl. The arrival of the commissioners - Hurley (Fred Buch), Couch (Richard Liberty), and Gebhardt (Edward Winter) - marked a turning point, as they declared their support for the production, refusing to be swayed by the racist undertones that had sparked such outrage.

As the day unfolds, Pee Wee and his cohorts concoct a devious plan to play a trick on Coach Balbricker. Their scheme revolves around her daily ritual of using the bathroom at exactly the hour mark, so they seize the opportunity to sneak away from gym practice and set their trap in motion. With stealth and precision, they place a live corn snake in the pipe leading up to the toilet where Balbricker is about to relieve herself. The coach’s musical interlude - a lively rendition of “Black Magic” - is interrupted by an unexpected surprise as the snake slithers its way out into the open. Balbricker’s panicked reaction sends her scrambling out of the bathroom, with her pants and panties still in disarray, straight into the gym where the entire school is waiting to witness the spectacle. The cheerleaders, Francine Joyce and Wendy Becker, are particularly shocked when they spot the snake emerging from the girls’ locker room, prompting a collective gasp of alarm. Meanwhile, Tommy proves himself a hero by calmly collecting the harmless reptile, earning praise from the coaches.

Later that day, Carter interrupts rehearsals for the Shakespeare production, putting Johnny Henry’s intense performance to shame. Although the official curtain call is canceled due to controversy surrounding one of the commissioners’ off-stage antics, the students are allowed to continue rehearsing as a private project - albeit with the understanding that some lines have been crossed.

As Seward County Commissioner Gebhardt initially appears dismissive of Flavel’s demands, he reassures Steve, Pee Wee, and their friends that they shouldn’t worry about the backlash. The commissioner praises their determination to stand up for their ideals, hinting that favors can be exchanged behind the scenes. He assures them that this is how things work in Seward County.

However, the gang’s evening takes a dark turn when they stumble upon John, brutally beaten and left for dead. A burning cross next to him serves as a stark reminder of the KKK’s opposition to the play’s Seminole character, Romeo, sharing a kiss with a white actress - Wendy’s role as Juliet. The commissioners’ efforts to quash the production are reflected in the 5,000 signatures they present to Gebhardt.

Despite the backlash, the play presses on. During the swordfight scene, Johnny’s sword breaks, leaving him no choice but to improvise an absurdly comical performance with a broken sword - and later, a makeshift replacement fashioned from the leg of a female mannequin.

As the tension simmers beneath the surface, Flavel bursts onto the scene, determined to shut down the production in its tracks just as Pee Wee (in his vivid green-skinned costume) is delivering a poignant monologue. Anthony obliges by revealing his true nature, prompting Mrs. Morris to lament that the gesture was misguided. Meanwhile, Gebhardt’s efforts to maintain order are short-lived, as he ultimately betrays the group. Little do they know, Gebhardt has a secret: his fascination with Wendy (17 and still a minor), who seeks revenge for his transgressions.

The commissioners at Seward Court have their own peculiar fixation - silent black-and-white pornography - which they enthusiastically consume in the basement, often accompanied by derogatory remarks. Tommy discreetly captures their illicit activities on tape using an audio recorder.

Wendy concocts a plan of retribution, preparing a punch that resembles vomit and donning oversized fake breasts containing the same substance for her date with Gebhardt at La Fontana di Voglio, a posh restaurant where the Maitre d’s (Robin Paradise and Ted Richert) are well-acquainted with Gebhardt. The evening takes an unexpected turn as Wendy enters the establishment dressed like a prostitute, causing a scene that draws attention from everyone in attendance. She proceeds to jump on top of Gebhardt, attempting to seduce him amidst the chaos.

At the rally, the KKK is escorted away from the gathering and led to the school gym, where they encounter a tense atmosphere filled with hostile African American locals and Seminole Indians. Pee Wee and his friends confront the KKK members, demanding retribution for their assault on Johnny by shaving their heads as a form of punishment.

Meanwhile, Wendy returns to the restaurant, this time dressed in a more provocative manner, and creates a ruckus to ensure everyone’s attention is fixed on her. She dons a boa hat on a gentleman (William Kerwin)‘s head, belting out a tune about turning 17 that day and revealing she was just 14 when she first met Gebhardt. Wendy threatens to cry rape if Gebhardt attempts to leave, claiming she’s pregnant with his child.

As the situation spirals out of control, Rev. Flavel takes the stage at the rally, only to be shocked by the appearance of the KKK members, stark-naked and sporting shaved heads. The recording of the commissioners’ lewd remarks and their commentary on the porn flick is played for everyone to hear, prompting a restless crowd and inciting Flavel’s fury. Swearing loudly in front of the press, he becomes undone by the chaos that has consumed him.

As the evening wears on at the eatery, Wendy’s antics reach new heights of embarrassment as she becomes increasingly inebriated and proceeds to down the gentleman’s drink from his cup. Her slurred repetition of her date’s name and occupation only serves to further mortify her and Gebhardt (actor’s name). In a bizarre display, Wendy then uses the fake vomit hidden within one of her elaborate prosthetic breasts, spewing forth its contents into a nearby pool, prompting the stunned patrons to hastily evacuate the premises. The gentleman’s eyes widen in disbelief as he witnesses Wendy retrieving the fake vomit from her bosom, adding insult to injury. Just as it seems things cannot get any more absurd, Pee Wee appears on the scene and snaps a photograph of Gebhardt, who is standing in the fountain pool. As they depart to the strains of “We’re off to see the Wizard, the wonderful Wizard of Oz” - a refrain that has become a recurring motif throughout their misadventures - the news of Wendy’s latest escapade spreads like wildfire through the media outlets, ultimately leading Gebhardt to tender his resignation.

In a series of swift and decisive cuts, we are treated to a montage of closure as the curtain falls on this tumultuous tale. The Shakespearean Festival is once again announced in bold headlines, while Johnny emerges as a triumphant hero within the community, hailed for his contributions to the production. Meanwhile, Wendy and Pee Wee rekindle their unlikely romance, amidst a backdrop of chaos and confusion. As the remnants of the evening’s revelry slowly dissipate, we catch glimpses of the KKK members attempting to make a discreet exit, only to be thwarted by a group of fierce ladies wielding umbrellas. The fate of the restaurant is sealed, its days numbered as a once-thriving gathering place for the community. Flavel, meanwhile, seeks revenge against one of his former cohorts, his fingers closing around their throat in a desperate attempt to exact retribution.
