ACIassic Recommended Good double feature material Time-killer For masochists only Porky's The horny-teenager comedy come-dy would be about as funny as a frayed bra strap if it were not for an enthusiastic cast, which pretends this hasn't been done a dozen times already, and writer-director writer-director Bob Clark, who laughs with his material, instead in-stead of leering at it. The main plot is about six randy high-school boys at Angel Beach, Florida High, and their impatient attempts to sample carnal pleasures. A few subplots veer off into the serious the ostracism of a Jewish student (Scott Columby) and the farcicalthe farci-calthe basketball coach's attempt to score with a cheer-leading instructress (Kim Cattrall) known as "Lassie". But mainly the film is about goofing around peering through holes into the girls' showers; getting drunk and falling face first into your chili bowl; and streaking the highway. (There is little time for study here. Evidently Evident-ly the kids spend eight hours a day in the gym.) The nastest joker of all is Porky (Chuck Mitchell) who runs a red-light joint 70 miles out in the Everglades. He gyps gullible high-school kids, aided by his brother, the crooked sheriff, (Alex Karras) and dishes up broken ribs and bloody noses to anyone who tries giving him trouble. As you might expect, the kids dream up a prank to settle his bacon once and for all. "Porky's" features some well-played comedy, especially an impeccable bit where the proverbial "brickouthouse" female gym coach has spotted an intruder in-truder in the girls' showers, identifiable only by his private parts. She convenes a conference to demand a line-up of students, while the male staffers-from gym coaches down to finally, the staid principal collapse into in-to uncontrollable giggles. Clark's film dwells on predictable racial-sexual types and old gags. (Who knows why they set the film in the 50s, since the situations probably date back to McKinley.) The film's main characters are played by unknowns with the recognizable faces thrown in as guest stars. (Some aren't even recognizable, such as Susan Clark as a statuesque hooker named Cherry Forever.) "Porky's" is your kind of movie if you're fixing for a food fight. V2 Cat People There's a half-and-half problem in this picture, all right, but it doesn't concern people turning into black leopards. Director Paul Schrader wants to keep the moodiness and mystery of the 1942 "Cat People" (of which this is a very loose remake), and he succeeds in maintaining a tense, coiled atmosphere. But he's also willing to cater Trivia Testt i An encore for Korogi Steve Korogi liked his new picture so much, he wanted to see it again. Steve was the first this week to come up with the trivia answers, thereby winning himself another free sandwich from the Main Street Deli. Steve knew that Sissy Spacek starred with Lee Marvin and Gene Hackman in the movie "Prime Cut"; that Skitch Henderson conducted the "Tonight Show" orchestra before Doc Severin-sen; Severin-sen; and that Ferol C. Hebden was the woman candidate for sheriff in Summit County. Steve's the man to beat this month, so you other trivia winners better rush your answers to The Newspaper offices at 419 Main Street, or call 649-9014 by Tuesday noon. This week's questions : 1. A 1960s satirical series starring David Frost paved the way for such shows as "Laugh-In" and "Saturday Night". Name it. 2. What signal is given when a new pope has been chosen? 3. Suzanne Yager suffered from in her desert trip photo? , to the modern trend in explicit ex-plicit horror, with the latest in dismembered limbs and graphic transformations. Schrader's real star in this movie is the make-up man, who shows Natassia Kinski bloating up into a cocoon shape and pop! out comes a leopard. The script by Alan Ormsby proposes the complicated premise that cat people change into leopards after intercourse (so why do they sometimes spout claws after nothing more than a mild hot flash?) and must kill in order or-der to become human again. Natassia Kinski, as a young European in New Orleans learns of her origins from her brother (Malcolm McDowell) Mc-Dowell) who proposes incest as a practical way to meet their sexual needs, while she feels romantic stirrings for zookeeper John Heard. McDowell's brutishly haunting performance is the best in the picture, and Kinski Kin-ski doesn't match it. Her cat moves and wild-animal nudity are right, but she's a case of feverishly repressed acting. She seems to be concentrating con-centrating so much on the right accent that nothing else gets out. Next to these notable table examples of good and bad acting, John Heard and Annette O'Toole (as Heard's girlfriend) are colorless. "Cat People" misses out, most of all, on the simplicity and suggestiveness of great horror. Soggy Bottom The title also refers to the cast, all of whom are either drenched in bayou water or wallowing in mud as part of Soggy's swamp comedy, set in the 1930's. The story's focus is probably the middle-aged middle-aged romantic triangle between be-tween an easy-going Louisiann sheriff (Ben Johnson), John-son), his fickle hometown lover (Louis Nettleton) and a predatory country-western songbird (Ann Wedgeworth) who not only wants Johnson, but is matching her champion cham-pion hound-dog against his in the annual coon-hunt, Soggy Bottom's answer to the Super Bowl. The sheriff also has to deal with a family of Cajun desperados (headed by Jack Elam) a young mechanic (Don Johnson) struggling to invent the first swamp air-boat, air-boat, and a moonshiner (Dub Taylor) being pursued by three inept government agents. (Anthony Zerbe, as the jerk-off Eliot Ness, usually portrays intense, Steiger-type roles, and the casting could be delightfully off-center. But with the inept direction, it just looks like a serious actor, slumming.) All of this plot is only an excuse for several brawls or water chases (with boats jumping over bridges and islets). One or two of the jokes score, however, and,'" with the exception of Jack Elam (whose dialogue coach must have been Cookie Monster) the cast is relaxed and manfully pretending the film isn't just a "Dukes of Hazard" episode, outfitted with an Evinrude motor.
