Review: Before Airplane!...Before Top Secret!...Before The Naked Gun...there was The Kentucky Fried Movie.
Comedic geniuses David Zucker, Jim Abrahams, Jerry Zucker, and John Landis came together to create one of the most hilarious, bizarre, outrageous, tasteless, silly, out-of-control spoof sketch comedy films of all-time!
The Kentucky Fried Movie is packed with sketches, skits, spoofs, shorts, satire, and spots like the Enter the Dragon parody "A Fistful of Yen", the scandalous "Catholic High School Girls in Trouble", the blaxploitation epic "Cleopatra Schwartz" and many, many, many, many, many, many, many more.
The go-for-broke attitude and the irreverent humor is what makes The Kentucky Fried Movie work. This movie is funny for all the right and wrong reasons! These days the humor found within this feature would be seen as offensive, sexist, and bawdy, and it is, but that's what is funny. Nothing is off limits! Everything is fair game in the eyes of comedy, as it should be. The Kentucky Fried Movie made me laugh harder than most comedies that have been made in the last 10 years. It's that funny!
So, if you live for outrageous humor that'll have you snorting with laughter with a severely tickled funny bone while you nurse a split side, then I guarantee* that The Kentucky Fried Movie is the perfect movie for you. *(Not an actual guarantee). Now, that's funny!
