Summary: Film at eleven...
Review: This is undoubtedly the funniest movie ever created. Those Zucker Bros. are a couple of Rory Calhouns. Non-stop laughter, danger seekers only! Your copy will be shipped complete with BIG JIM SLADE. A DEFINITE must-see. And the capitol of Nebraska is Lincoln!

Summary: If you have little or no taste THIS IS IT!!!
Review: I can't tell you how hard I laughed during this movie. It's not really a movie though. It's a bunch of skits. Some are only a couple minutes and some are like 15 mins. If you're looking for a movie that is assured to make you laugh so hard you can't breathe, this is it!

Summary: A tasteless, offensive, hilarious TV parody!
Review: Directed by John Landis(THE BLUES BROTHERS)and written by the team that brought you AIRPLANE!, this movie is tasteless, offensive and hirarious. Talk shows, commercials, educational programs, 70s porno, blaxploitation, and the classic ENTER THE DRAGON are all parodied.

Review: I recommend Survivor: Borneo on DVD. A lot better than this "non sense" ROFL

Summary: Samuel L Bronkowittz presents a very funny film
Review: I remember seeing this film the first time when I was 15. My friends and I had an inside joke with some of the more outrages sketches such as 'Catholic High School Girls in Trouble', 'Fist full of Yen', and "Zinc Oxide' (fake science filmstrip).
Having seen the DVD, I must say that the print is good though the original film stock had poor detail. There is a choice of 16:9 or fullscreen, though this choice is awkwardly implemented in the menu.
If you wish to see an early example of tasteless sketch comedy, you may enjoy this film. Some of the fake movie previews, directed by the ubiquitous Samuel L. Bronkowitz are still very funny. Other parts of Kentucky Fried Movie may not have aged well from the 1970s, however.

Summary: Kentucky Fried Movie (1977) d: Landis, John
Review: A dated yet still very funny guerilla comedy. Writers David & Jerry Zucker (Naked Gun (1988) / Top Secret (1984), and Jim Abrahams (Airplane! (1980) became an instant success when this film first hit the treaters. Founded by The Kentucky Fried Theater troupe, this comedy is much in the same vein, but not quite as good as Amazon Women On The Moon (1987). This early John Landis (Animal House (1978) / Blues Brothers (1980) directed picture still achieves big laughs, with a collection of Saturday Night Live (1975) type sketches the picture doesn't get dull fast. A great piece for those interested in the evolution of the careers, of the those involved. Made up of fake commercials, movie previews ['Catholic School Girls in Trouble'], and short plays. Includes a parody of Enter the Dragon (1973) ['A Fist Full of Yen'] in the middle of the film, which goes on a little too long. A morning news show goes horribly wrong, a movie is presented in 'Feel-A-Round' [the second feature is a porno!] '...See respected actor Donald Sutherland as the clumsiest waiter in motion picture history. Watch such characters as Cleopatra Schwartz and Big Jim Slade tickle your funny bone until it has to be removed surgically!...' Some of the pieces are downright hilarious, while others miss the mark completely. Some sketches are funnier after 20 years, only because they offend are politically correct culture even more today than they did in the 1970's. Includes commentary by Landis, Abrahams, and Zucker. On the set home movies, and a behind the scenes photos.

Summary: The movie is five stars, but...
Review: There is a problem with the audio level on my copy. It's extremely low. I have to turn the TV up to max to hear anything. I might just have bad luck, as no one else is really complaining about the audio levels. But they're way too low.

Feel free to post a contradictory review if you have a copy with good audio.

The film itself is a comedy classic and is a must-own for any cult/comedy film buff.

Summary: The Cutting Edge of 1977
Review: Although John Landis would have a monster hit in 1978 with ANIMAL HOUSE and the team of Jerry Zucker, Jim Abrahams and David Zucker would have their own monster hit in 1980 with AIRPLANE!, their talents for making a hilarious movie would first appear in 1977 with THE KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE.

Enough other reviews here go into the different sketches and what makes them so funny all these years later, so I won't bother repeating them.

I will say that while everyone these days is talking about how clever and funny Tarantino's KILL BILL is in sending up the 70's chop-socky flicks, I've been telling everyone that KENTUCKY FRIED's own parody ("A Fistful of Yen") was already making fun of those movies--IN THE SEVENTIES!

The group commentary is also fun to listen to as the director and writers remember making the film. "Is she still alive?" "George Lazenby is so drunk, he's laughing in this shot." "Donald (Sutherland) was great."
