Porky's
The main plot concerns the efforts of a group of Florida high school students in 1954 intent on losing their virginity. The group consists of bad boy Tommy Turner, socially-awkward Edward "Pee Wee" Morris, star athlete Anthony "Meat" Tuperello, proud redneck Mickey Jarvis, Billy McCarthy (who acts as the voice of reason for the group), and bigot Tim Cavanaugh. They (minus Billy) travel to Porky's bar located outside of town on the basis of a rumor that if one pays the owner Porky, one can hire a prostitute. Initially reluctant, Porky takes the kids' money and promises them "a night to remember" and then humiliates them by dumping them in the swamp. When the group seeks revenge, the sheriff, who turns out to be Porky's brother, arrives to drive them away, but not before Porky's minions extort the rest of their money and cause them more embarrassment. After this incident, the group becomes hellbent on exacting revenge on Porky and his brother, eventually succeeding in sinking his strip club in the swamp. After the group makes it across the county line (where Porky's brother is out of jurisdiction), they meet Porky and his brother with one of the local police officers, who happens to be Mickey's brother, and the high school band. After Mickey's brother damages Porky's car, he says that none of the previous events will be spoken to the authorities. Because the boys were not allowed in Porky's strip club in the first place, Porky and his brother have no choice but to agree. The film ends with the group getting their revenge and Pee Wee finally losing his virginity.
