VHS Movie Reviews of Kentucky Fried Movie [VHS]
Movie Review: Rude and very funny
Summary: 4 Stars
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 of which is "A Fistful of Yen", which is a marvellous comedy version of "Enter the Dragon".
Although as Amazon point out it has dated a little, I thought for a film made 32 years ago much of it was still relevant and crucially still very funny.
I picked this up very cheap in a supermarket in the UK, so shop around as there is no need to pay a lot for it.
Summary of Kentucky Fried Movie [VHS]
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 ThomasComedy VHS Video
