Summary: Has aged surprisingly little
Review: Just finished watching the DVD edition, and I must say that 23 years haven't treated KFM badly! Or maybe American TV and movies haven't really changed a lot during that time... hmmm.The historical value of this film as the starting point of both Landis and the Z-A-Z team (Airplane!, Naked Gun etc...) into the world of motion pictures would alone justify shelling out your hard-earned dollars for this disc... but you get nice extras (commentary, behind the scenes -footage, photos...) and a hoot of a film to boot! Basically, KFM is a loose collection of sketches mainly making parody of American TV and films. There's not much sense in listing them here (except of course "Catholic School Girls In Trouble"!), it's really enough to state that after watching this film you will wonder how little US TV and film have evolved since the 70's.

Summary: Do yourself a favor...
Review: see this film. This movie makes Airplane! look like Ishtar. It is a must for anyone who appreciates the ridiculous humor of the Airplane! genre.

Summary: A lot of fun and loaded with extras!
Review: Great picture and sound and loaded with extras this DVD is a must if you like KFM. The commentary featuring the Zuckers and John Landis among others is a great feature. I love all of the Zuckers' and Jim Abarams' work and have always wondered what it would be like to hang out with them and this DVD gets you pretty close to that. Silly, offensive fun.

Summary: Show me your nuts!
Review: Reading over the rest of the reviews will give you an accurate description of the movie. What needs to be commented on is the commentary track on the DVD. John Landis, Jim Abrahams, Jerry & David Zucker, and Robert K. Weiss were gathered together to record the commentary. Being famialar with their respective accomplishments I was terribly excited to listen to their thoughts on the movie. While amazingly not technical the commentary track is somewhat of a disappointment. History of the movie and more importantly the Kentucky Fried Theater is glossed over, in favor of amusing anecdotes. While this can be very funny, especially toward the end, I was hoping for more then what seemed to be five guys sitting around reminiscing. To compound my frustration with the DVD is that the other extras, home made movies and photo gallery, are not even as good as the commentary. Thankfully, the picture quality is great and in widescreen or fullscreen. A little disappointed with the extras, but still a wonderful film.

Summary: Mixed Bag of Laughs - Worth It For Commentary Alone
Review: The new DVD of KFM is definitely worth a look especially to experience the hysterically funny and insightful commentary track by director Landis, the Zuckers, Jim Abrahams and producer Weiss. They know when the movie is not working or if something is very unfunny and they speak their minds in a riotous converastion. During the interminable "Fistful of Yen" segment, one of them says "Can we go home now?" and they make no bones about how they feel. It's a great companion track to the movie itself which, of course, is a mixed bag of raunchy skits....some very hilarious and some just kind of flat. But if a sketch isn't funny, you can always switch over the audio to the commentary track and laugh there! Landis is also on target when he mentions that the film would get an NC-17 if it was released today...the ratings in the 70's were so much more lenient. Final question....was that shot of the ruby slippers in Fistful of Yen "stolen" from "Wizard of Oz"? It's mentioned in the commentary and then quickly hushed up by one of the other speakers. Don't let MGM know!

Summary: TASTE LIKE CHICKEN
Review: I FIRST SAW THIS MOVIE WHEN I WAS LIKE 15. THE ONLY THING THAT REALLY APPELAED TO ME THEN WERE THE NAKED CHICKS. THATS THE ONLY THING THAT APPEALS TO ME NOW. ALTHOUGH I DID LIKE 1 OR 2 SCENES, THEY WERE FUNNY. BUT, LIKE ONE REVIEWER SAID "DATED".

Summary: Samuel L. Bronkowitz Presents...
Review: First things first -- this movie is not as funny as you remember it being. How could it be? Virtually all of us who have seen it have distinct memories not just of the zany spoofs ("Fistful of Yen" and "Catholic High School Girls in Trouble" being two of the most famous) contained in the actual movie, but also of the act of watching it -- late night before a final exam, late night after your parents went to bed, late night pizza and beer with your buddies. You get the picture. I watched it by myself recently, and though I laughed right out loud many times, I kept looking around for the buddies that used to laugh right out loud with me (or the equally hilarious reactions of friends who didn't get the humor). I guess it's my own fault. So my advice to you is to invite over old friends, new friends, and friends who are difficult to offend, for a midnight show of "Kentucky Fried Movie." Whether they shake their heads in disgust, roll their eyes at the lack of taste, smile weakly at jokes they don't get, or laugh until they cry, it's a movie that deserves a full house. And hey, if they don't like it, call in Big Jim Slade. Or better yet, send them to Detroit.

Summary: Laugh your a** off!
Review: Yes, finally a DVD worth buying! You will laugh until it hurts! Two hundred times funnier than Saturday Night Live ever was, this hysterical parody of anything and everything gets funnier with every viewing! (And finally, a DVD with extras!) To Jim Abrahams & the Zucker Brothers: Thank you for this one; for keeping it alive. I am anxiously awaiting the same treatment for Airplane!, Airplane II: The Sequel, and The Naked Gun. Years of laughs, for years to come.

Summary: The Funniest Movie of All Time, Period.
Review: This is about as funny a movie as has ever been made. Sharing in the same absurd quality that made POLICE SQUAD and AIRPLANE hilarious, this film really started it all. The fake movie-trailers alone are worth the price of admission. SAMUEL L. BRONKOWITZ PRESENTS... ;)
