Description:
From the director of Animal House and the creators of Airplane and The Naked Gun comes the original madcap, most out-of-control spoof of all time. The one that started it all!! The Kentucky Fried Movie!
Featuring a cast of more than a few but less than a lot, this insane collection of comedy skits includes such now famous sketches as the Kung-Fu parody, 'A Fistful of Yen', and the legendary 'Catholic School Girls in Trouble.' Enjoy the future of moviegoing with the 'Feel-A-Round' theater experience. See notable and highly respected actor Donald Sutherland as the clumsiest waiter in motion picutre history. Watch such characters as Cleopatra Schwartz and Big Jim Slade tickle your funny bone until it has to be removed surgically!
Directed by John Landis and written by Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, and Jerry Zucker, and featuring appearances by ex-James Bond George Lazenby and The Incredible Hulk star Bill Bixby, The Kentucky Fried Movie is the cult classic you've been waiting for! It's a virtual guarantee (not an actual guarantee) that you will not find another film iwth as many side- splitting moments of pure unadulterated hilarity as The Kentucky Fried Movie.
Amazon.com:
Twenty years before the Farrelly Brothers turned raunch into acceptable film comedy, the team of David Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and Jerry Zucker exploited it first. The college threesome made it big with Airplane! in 1980, but this 1977 cinematic version of their live theater show is ground zero for their talents. Like The Groove Tube, Kentucky Fried Movie is a mishmash of sketches, fake commercials, and parodies with no central theme--except their crudeness and laugh-out-loud humor. Highlights include a commercial for 'Scot Free,' a board game based on the Kennedy assassination conspiracy, 'The Wonderful World of Sex,' in which a couple goes through foreplay with a self- help narrator instructing them step by step, and a 20-minute spoof of Bruce Lee films entitled 'A Fistful of Yen.' Brazen to a fault, the movie will reach for any punch line, no matter how crude (and those who flocked to the film's initial release looking for R-rated sex will remember the final sketch and the infamous trailer for 'Catholic High School Girls in Trouble.') Directed by then-unknown John Landis on a shoestring budget, the film has aged. But crassness, when it's this funny, is forever. --Doug Thomas

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Classic,original, and funny
There wasn't many spoof movies made when this one came out, that's what makes this an original classic. Even when I was young and watched this, my brother and I both laughed. 25 yrs. later , I am still laughing, every time I watch it.
If your around 25 yrs. old or younger you probably won't enjoy it, this movie spoofs others from 70's and early 80's era.
But if you're mature adult and enjoy comedy of that era, you should get this.
Rating:  - It started it all.
Love this movie. Its skits influenced so many movies and TV shows that came after it.
Rating: - KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE
A CULT CLASSIC!!!!!!!! IT IS ONE OF THE BEST COMEDY MOVIES THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN AND WILL CONTINUE TO WATCH!!!! GREAT STUFF!!!! YOU NEVER STOP LAUGHING WHEN YOU WATCH THIS MOVIE!!!
Rating:  - KFM
The original introduction to the movie is missing, and that's not a good thing. "A Fistful Of Yen" is a true classic and the reason I bought the movie. If anything, buy the movie for "A Fistful Of Yen."
Rating: - Alright, Not Great
Playing a number of obscure online games and belonging to a number of absurdist forums, I've been bombarded with references to Kentucky Fried Movie. I finally decided to buy it to see what the fuss was about, and was not severely disappointed. Many of the jokes fall just short of being funny, but are close enough for an effort grade. The bits that did get a laugh from me were so great as to nearly carry the four star rating on their own. Close to the middle, a parody of pornography turns into pornography, so this movie really isn't appropriate for younger viewers.
It has its dull moments, but I would definitely recommend this film to any absurdist, comedy fan, or budding classic movie collector.
