Kim Catterall starred in Porky's


Porky's

A coming-of-age comedy set in the frat house of an American college.

A kind of Eighties' American Pie, it was deemed a must-see by adolescent boys because it promised gratuitous nudity and would 'show you how to do it'.

The film failed to create any major stars, but did launch the career of actress Kim Cattrall, who - surely not typecast - went on to play man-eater Samantha in HBO's Sex and the City.
