Watched this for the first time in over 30 years, this time with my two adult sons. I was anxious that it might not be as funny as I remembered it, and we had a backup film ready in case it wasn't. But we needn't have worried. It has held up surprisingly well over the years, and they both found it as funny as I did when I first watched it at their age.

I had a passing knowledge of this one, but as it was just before my time, my introduction to the Zucker Brothers was the 80s comedy classic, Airplane from 1980. This one? extremely problematic. I was cringing throughout. I'll give Donald Sutherland 1/2 star as the clumsy waiter and Marilyn Joi a full star and a 1/2 as Cleopatra Schwartz. Other than that, the "Fistful of Yen" segment is absolute garbage. Embarrassing and over the top.

I always wanted to see this movie because I had heard so much about it. I watched it today and it was OK but to be fair it's likely because it's been too many years.. Did not know that they did a whole parody of Enter the Dragon, THE martial arts movie that was by father funniest skit. Everything else is really made me chuckle. But what did make me sit up and I've tried to research it is the last skit in the movie. The young lady I'm almost sure is Glenn Close but I could not find her name nor that last skit in the credits.

It's just a bit… shit…

One of the earliest spoofs out of the 1970s by young director John Landis and written by the Zucker Brothers It made over $7 million despite the concept of sketch comedies not being considered for peoples tastes The entire thing is a collection of sketches of 온라인카지노추천 and movie cliches; including parodies of local news, numerous movie parodies, and a few standalone skits Yes some of the humor is very dated specifically to the era when it came out and particularly ethnic-based Keep in mind this is an R-rated comedy with plenty of foul language and nudity to spare But it is tailored to comedic effect with hints of blaxploitation, adult cinema, Bruce Lee action films, and disaster pictures One scene in particular pre-hints the recently released 'Get Out' intentional or not Spoofs are very difficult to pull off that'll tickle the funny bone; in this digital age YouTube's more of the go to for edited content made by ordinary people that'll get more laughs, likes, sharing etc. But upcoming director Landis during the alt-comedy and counterculture scene makes for a good start along with its mocking the low-rent sleaze of '70s Times Square movie fare while giving audiences the same (if sillier) quotient of sex and violence This makes for a still-bracingly grubby barrel of laughs even if they're not all consistent Let's face it; sustaining comic momentum and audience engagement over a long stretch is nearly impossible let alone an entire feature film as opposed to a half hour on tv But the 1970s along with the 1980s priced comedy can still work if handled right This is still smart and satirical even if all of its comedic parts don't gel together 100%

Very dated, but it has its moments.

Four stars mostly for funny Kung Fu movie inside big movie. Blobbo made mistake see with Blob family. Mistake! Not good family movie.

Every comedy of the last 30 years should be suspended from existence until everyone sees this.

"The Kentucky Fried Movie" does have its moments but overall it is just mediocre. I found it rather interesting that the writers of this movie Jim Abrams, Jerry Zucker and David Zucker recycled some sketches and character names for "Airplane!". Nothing wrong with that, just rather interesting shall we say. The sketches are hit and miss. The trailer for the teen sex comedy was a standout for me. OK overall but not very memorable. It's a good thing I didn't buy any popcorn from the concession stand before I saw this movie.

This is my favorite film by my favorite murderer. I can't think of one other murderer's work where I'd "He really has a knack for comedy like Manson had for Beach Boys hits..." Accidents and A#$holes aside, this film is a punk explosion of comedy which doesn't feel particularly dated to me. The "Feel-A-Round" theatre scene is still the best.

This movie i'm surprised got high ratings this is just a whole thing of crappy skits i only checked this film out because of bill bixby

Not every sketch is hilarious, but there were a few times in the movie where I had a decent belly laugh.

Before the three genius writers of mainstay parodies "Airplane!," "Top Secret!," and "The Naked Gun" carved out those timeless credits, David Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and Jerry Zucker teamed with John Landis on the hugely influential spoof that is 1977's "Kentucky Fried Movie." To this day, the film's DNA is found in so many successors within its resulting family tree, from "Scary Movie," to "Hot Tub Time Machine," to recent and raunchy record label satire "Stadium Anthems." The movie's architecture is unusual in its presentation of disconnected sketches (see: "A Fistful of Yen") that parody various films genres, and all while introducing the audience to the unmistakable brand of gleefully relentless smart-assery that became the writers' consistent tonal voice. Equal to its aspirational design, the casting here was pitch-perfect: Cameos by Donald Sutherland, Bill Bixby, George Lazenby, and Tony Dow were inspired. The film now introduces many departed acting icons as they thrive in roles that went refreshingly against type. For reasons of genealogy, the ludicrous "Kentucky Fried Movie" is a must-watch for movie buffs keen on tracing modern comedies back to their ancestral roots. - WATCHED THIS? THEN WATCHLIST: "Scary Movie," "Hot Tub Time Machine," "Stadium Anthems."

The spoof genre surprisingly breaks ground in this essential pre-"Airplane" comedy for manageable enjoyment with occasionally successful laughs towards unpredictable witty turn and also the first standard for how easily bad and tasteless one film can go then lower for the worst. (B-)

The best comedy movie ever made!

Funny at a time when tv was very straight laced, today tv has become more of a parody of this movie.

meh, how many times could someone watch still enjoy this thing

A very funny and clever movie that is one of the most underrated spoof movies ever made.

one of the funniest movies i've ever seen.
