Why so much hype?
Cubussoli
Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Nice effects though.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

This is a classic undying satire, and probably the greatest satirical movie, ever made. Featuring a few famous people, famous in their day, TKFM, is one of a kind, where we remember what movies used to be liked, and why we loved them. It's offbeat, originality, like KFC chicken itself, is what really gives it flavor, and there are hit and miss jokes, people will find, funnier if viewing it, in it's time. It is very smart original satire, and that is what I kept feeling throughout. And again, I re-iterate, it's one of a kind, it's biting satire, is what will surprise you, much more today if you first watche dit. One skit that takes up a chunk of time, kindof annoying, but it's bloody funny, takes a poke at Enter The Dragon, and we see a cinema watching style, very much out of the ordinary, in another clip. We get so into the satire of the movie, it ends too soon. It's like a wild roller coaster ride where gags keep coming at you, and you don't know what's coming in the next frame. It's like you being inundated with gags, the film even taking a poke at it's title, partly, with greasy fat, being expelled out of KFC boxes. But whatever you do, don't miss The Kentucky Fried Movie, it's great

This funny sketch comedy movie is, like Airplane, which came from the same writers a few years later, a vehicle for a lot of insane jokes. As with other films from Abrahams and the Zuckers, not all the jokes land, but enough succeed to generate consistent laughs.My favorite piece is a take-off of a school informational video on zinc oxide. It's short but hilariously funny. The longest piece is a dead-on parody of martial arts movie. While it doesn't achieve the laughs-per-second of Airplane or Naked Gun, it is still an excellent example of the gag-fest approach to comedy that Zucker/Abrahams perfected later on.

I was one year old when this was made...but watched it when I was maybe three or four. OK...not a good decision by my parents :) but this has always been my favorite, having a stagnant sense of humor of a 10 year old boy. Dino is gentle as a lamb... :). Definitely a pinnacle of juvenile humor. Lots of boobs and uh, midget clown whipping catholic school girls???Watching tonight, I find it strangely applicable to today with the liberal media accusations and search for "alternative fuel" :). Airplane was the more mainstream success for obvious reasons but Kentucky Fried Movie set the bar for tasteless silly movies.Must see...if you are juvenile like I am :)

This is an early work from the comedy writing trio of Zucker Abraham and Zucker who would go on to make the Airplane and Naked Gun films and the second feature length film by directed by John Landis.The film is like an adult version of Saturday Night Live mixed with Monty Python consisting of sketches, parodies of movies, news shows and ads.The centrepiece is the parody of Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon called A Fistful of Yen. you do need total concentration as it goes on for too long. I think I would liked a longer version of Cleopatra Schwartz to go with it.I first watched a scratchy pirate copy of this movie when I was a teenager and of course then the highlight was 'Catholic High School Girls in Trouble' the parody of 1970s porn films and who can forget Uschi Digart's large breasts pounding the shower screen. The 'show me your nuts' line is still sublime.There are some inspired sketches such as the film in feel-o-vision, Henry Gibson deadpan ad for being death being the number one killer in America and the Ape going berserk skit features make up effects legend and multiple Oscar winner Rick Baker.Bill Bixby, George Lazenby, Henry Gibson, Donald Sutherland are some of the famous star cameos.It is a little bit hit and miss and I guess it inspired the short lived US adult orientated sketch show Bizarre.
