Porklips Now is a short, low budget parody film, made in 1980 by the American director Ernie Fosselius[1], based on the 1979 motion picture Apocalypse Now.
[2] It chronicles the journey of Dullard (played by William "Billy" Gray, most famous as "Bud" in the Father Knows Best TV series), a gardener and handyman, sent to Chinatown by two butchers to meet a business rival, Fred "Madman" Mertz, and "take care of business".
The film cleverly and humorously incorporates references to signature elements of the film on which it is based, albeit in a somewhat conspicuously low-budget manner.
Echoing a widely held if erroneous belief about Apocalypse Now, the film features several alternate endings.
In 2009, Apprehensive Films released Porklips Now onto DVD.
