This article is a couple of years old but I thought you "Porky's" fans would be interesting to know that the character was based on a real person and a real bar. I've driven past the current location many times.

The link doesn’t seem to work. But I still will laugh when I see the movie.

Other than the howling female coach, hardly any of the actors became big stars...................Not counting the older ones who already had careers...................

Disappointing article, little more than the excerpt you posted, no photos. Sounds like a very interesting story deserving of finding a few people who went there, some background and photography. This guy just phoned it in.

Ms. Balbricker was based on a real person, too.

Many years ago while I was Christmas shopping at Toysrus someone paged Mike Hunt. Pretty funny.

I know you guys are commenting on the direction, the writing and actors but the best scene was and will always be the shower scene : )

Now how do you post photos here?.....
