Mihai Toma This "movie" presets a series of shorts which parody famous movies and real life situations in a hilarious way. TV commercials, news bulletins, horoscope, Kung-Fu movies with their typical sounds and even "The Wizard of Oz"... nothing escapes their mockery. Although funny by themselves, they sometimes tend to become exaggerated and thus resulting in a state of boredom from which only some more laughter can come to the rescue. It is funny, as a whole, but when you don't rely on anything else (a story or some kind of connection between them), it becomes hard to make a proper movie, let alone a very good one. It's good for raising up your mood, or for a good time with some friends but nothing more.

BA_Harrison Directed by John 'An American Werewolf in London' Landis and written by Jim Abrahams and David & Jerry Zucker of Airplane fame, Kentucky Fried Movie is a scattershot skit comedy in which the gags come thick and fast. Fake movie trailers, faux news reports, and mock adverts abound, with the occasional cameo from a recognisable face.As is often the case with the sketch format, the comedy is very hit and miss—perhaps even more miss than hit—but when KFM scores, it does so brilliantly, as evidenced by the film's 'feature presentation', A Fistful of Yen, a keenly observed spoof of Enter The Dragon that sees Evan C Kim mercilessly lampooning Bruce Lee with deadly accuracy (best gags: Mr Loo's speech impediment, the guy with the bullhorn, and the three kung fu dudes, Hung Well, Long Wang and Enormous Genitals).Other moments worthy of mention are the trailer for the ultimate sexploitation flick Catholic High School Girls In Trouble (so many boobs!), the appearance of Big Jim Slade during The Wonderful World of Sex (a skit that also gives us the unforgettable line the line "the female, if she is so inclined, may latch onto his honker"), the very silly Courtroom sketch ("I'd like the ladies and gentlemen of the jury to listen to a tape"), and my personal favourite, Donald Sutherland as the Clumsy Clown.6.5 out of 10, rounded up to 7 for IMDb.

tomgillespie2002 Before Zucker/Zucker/Abrahams' success with Airplane! (1980), Top Secret (1983), The Naked Gun (1988), and John Landis' short series of good comedies National Lampoons Animal House (1978), The Blues Brothers (1980), An American Werewolf in London (1981), and Trading Places (1983), they collaborated on this "sketch" movie. Consisting of oh-so- very contemporary 1970's cultural tropes, the films mixture of spoof exploitation movie trailers ("You will cream in your jeans when you see..." Catholic High School Girls In Trouble; That's Armageddon; Cleopatra Schwartz), humorous commercials (which includes one quite disturbing, United Appeal for the Dead, that has a family keeping their son after death, showing him involved in everyday family activities), public service announcements and many references to Deep Throat (1972).The stand out "Main Feature" is a parody of the 1973 breakthrough martial arts film, Enter the Dragon. As was exacerbated in the writers' next effort, the aforementioned Airplane!, the visual gags are sometimes quite brilliant. I first came across this film when I was quite young. I'm not really sure how this would be viewed today. As I mentioned, this is very much a part of the 1970's. But if you love the blaxploitation, sexploitation et al trailers and movies, then there is certainly some fun to be had with these. There's a splattering of double entendre, and a more exponentially greater visual helping of T&A. It is a good comedy sketch film, with the usual quality problems with the format (i.e. not all the parts will be as good as others). And for those who suffer from premature ejaculation, this film comes with... Big Jim Slade.www.the-wrath-of-blog.blogspot.com

headly66 Kentucky Fried Movie will always remind me of my youth for I was fortunate enough to have seen it when it came out at the tender age of 11. I somehow talked my Dad into believing this was just some silly comedy (this was very pre-internet and the paper just said it was funny) so he took my older sister (13) and I to a matinée. Little did my father realize how crude this was until it was too late, he and my sister were mortified but I realize now he was laughing his butt off and that was the reason we stayed.Teens today will not get most of the dated jokes in this classic comedy but they should still appreciate some of the great one liners and terrific dialog. "A fist full of yen" is a retarded masterpiece along with "CHSGIT" and the fantastic "Christ did a cow sh@t in here?" line. And who can ever forget BIG JIM SLADE! Yes it is very juvenile, very dated and some of the jokes fall flat but if you can't find something in here to die laughing about then you don't have a pulse. Now, take him to Detroit!
