I've got you NOW, TOMMY TURNER! ... You disgusting, little, filthy, pervert!

Every CANADA Day I look to feature a Canadian made film and this year, I went back to a film franchise I've featured several times over the years. When I was searching for the most successful Canadian made films, I was a bit surprised to learn that 45 years after it's initial release, Porky's remains the highest-grossing Canadian film of all time worldwide. Canadian you say, well... sort of.
Although Porky's was written and directed by American filmmaker Bob Clark, Clark was unable to get financing for the film in the US. Clark then went north of the border and in the end, Porky's was financed and produced by the Canadian production company Astral Media (formerly Astral Bellevue Pathé).Because of this Canadian funding, the raunchy comedy qualifies as a Canadian production. In addition to being the highest grossing Canadian film of all time, it also received the Golden Reel Genie Award at the Canadian box office.
Porky's was initially released in November 1981 in a few select Provinces and States. It was then followed by a wide release across both Canada and the U.S. on March 19, 1982. Although Canadian made, the film was based on Clark's time growing up in Florida in the 1950's. Although often called a 'sex comedy', there wasn't actually a lot of sex, not that the characters, (Pee Wee) didn't try. There was however, a lot of nudity, surprisingly more male than female. Most of the nude scenes were embarrassment scenes, many were also CMNM/CFNM themed. Check out one of my favorites from the series on the NEXT PAGE HERE:
