Editorial Review:
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

I saw this at the cinema when it first came out and was quite surprised (probably an understatement!) by the nudity and general raunchiness. Watching it again recently what I had forgotten was how funny it is. The makers were clearly influenced a little by some of the early Woody Allen films like 'Take the Money and Run'. This film also points the way for Airplane and the Naked Gun etc.
The film consists of a series of spoof adverts and parodies of specific film genres. The centerpiece ... Read More

This movie is nothing but pure outrageous tv parody. By today's standards it's relatively tame (with the exception of the politically incorrect themes),but that's because television has changed. When KFM was released it was dead on target and one of a handful of tv parody films. The first film by the guys responsible for the Airplane! and Naked Gun films, it was a preview of things to come. Unfortunately, in these PC times films like this can't be made. And I think that's a shame. Somewhere down the ... Read More

There are maybe one or two good laughs in this longish 83 minute movie. For a much, much funnier movie in this vein check out "Amazon Women On The Moon". That will give you your money's worth in crude laughs. This one has the T & A, but not the humor. I found the sketches often way too long and short on anything approaching hilarity as some reviewers would have you believe. The Bruce Lee spoof was ridiculously long, the rest, short of all the T & A, largely forgetable. This movie was inane. And ... Read More

The Bottom Line:
A textbook example of how poorly comedy ages, Kentucky Fried Movie is a series of gags from the 70s which mainly don't work anymore; occasionally funny but more often dated, it's enough to make one appreciate Airplane a little bit more.

I've had this movie on VHS for years and finally go around to buying it on DVD. This movie rates in my top 5 funnest movies of the 70's. It spoofs TV commercials, TV news, documentaries, porn movies, Enter the Dragon, and court TV. It deserves the "R" rating, even by today's standards, for nudity and raunchy humor.
