Part 1 - The first five films


Boner Patrol
See where it all began. Threatened with expulsion by Dean Cheesebro, campus cut-up Sonny “Waller-Guy” Walton and his sidekicks Poetry, Barry, and The Gooch embark on a series of hilarious boners that could only be pulled by the one and only Boner Patrol.


Boner Patrol 2: The Next Class
Dean Cheesebro is finally released from the insane asylum thinking he’s seen the last of the Boner Patrol. Better think again, Dean! You’re in for a whole new class of Boners when Waller-Guy’s cousin Dutch and his gang of freshman hit Dumbbell U. But will a swimming pool full of duck eggs, a topless funeral parlor and the systematic assassination of key members of the military and political elite be enough to save the Big Spring Dance?


Boner Patrol 3: Boners in Paradise
When the Boner boys bring their particular brand of lunacy to the Hamptons, you know the fur (coats) will fly! The third installment of the Boners series puts a new spin on the classic "Vacation from Hell" story. A science project gone haywire forces the Gooch to accept a bet from a crew of rich snobs. In order to pay off the debt, he must eat an entire yacht and it's crew before sundown on Labor Day.

Boner Patrol 4: The Final Frontier
Boners go to space somehow. We could only find it on VHS, and the quality was so terrible that nobody could piece together what was happening.
Boner Patrol 5: Boners Born Bad
A crazy case of mistaken identity sends the Boners to the ‘Big House!’ The prison’s crooked warden offers the gang their only chance for freedom when he enters them in a high-stakes no-holds-barred inter-prison egg-and-spoon race.

Comments

  1. Although the "experts" at Rotten Tomatoes evidently disagree, BP3 - Boners in Paradise is the pinnacle of the series.  I would remind "the academy" that Bruce Dern got his first supporting-actor nomination committee for his portrayal of Dave "Shlong" Winbeard in BP3.  Replacing him with Ray Liota in BP4 was obviously an attempt to cash in on the popularity of the series without having to pay top dollar for the star power of an Oscar-nominated Waller-Guy AND Shlong.

    Anyway, for me, Boner Patrol will always be about the Hamptons in the red hot Summer of '86.
