The Kentucky Fried Movie

( 3 )

Overview

In 1977, four filmmakers got together to create a cult film made up of random comedy sketches entitled Kentucky Fried Movie. In 2000, the same four sat on a couch to throw around insults for a DVD commentary for that now classic film, and the result is a commentary as outrageous and compelling as the film itself. Director John Landis, producer Robert K. Weiss, and the three creators of Airplane! David Zucker, Jerry Zucker and Jim Abrahams are in rare form as they heckle their own movie.

More About This Product

Overview

In 1977, four filmmakers got together to create a cult film made up of random comedy sketches entitled Kentucky Fried Movie. In 2000, the same four sat on a couch to throw around insults for a DVD commentary for that now classic film, and the result is a commentary as outrageous and compelling as the film itself. Director John Landis, producer Robert K. Weiss, and the three creators of Airplane! David Zucker, Jerry Zucker and Jim Abrahams are in rare form as they heckle their own movie. In addition to that hilariously off-the-cuff commentary, extras include rare behind-the-scenes home movies, a photo gallery, and talent bios. The film is presented in its theatrical widescreen 1:85 presentation--and for those who only remember the film from late night cable can watch it in its original full-frame format.

Editorial Reviews

All Movie Guide - Perry Seibert
Released around the same time as other media-parody sketch-comedy films like The Groove Tube and The Boob Tube, The Kentucky Fried Movie shares with those films a fetish for female flesh and a reliance on sexually related jokes. What sets it apart from those other films is an obvious love for the targets of their satire. A parody of Bruce Lee films is funny for anyone, but those familiar with Enter the Dragon will appreciate the care that went into the details. Only true TV aficionados would actually get the adult Tony Dow to reprise his role from Leave It to Beaver, -- but have him play it as if Wally had never aged. The "ZAZ" writing team shows all the trademark techniques they would become famous for with the Airplane, Naked Gun, and Hot Shots films: bad puns, a penchant for the politically incorrect, and an ability to get at the heart of overworked genres. The disaster film, the blaxploitation films, and '70s soft-core sex romps are all parodied by trailers that manage to mock the excesses of those films by being so irreverently over-the-top themselves. It's a safe bet that this film would receive an NC-17 if it were released today. Director John Landis would not get this material completely out of his system. He went on to direct segments of the very similar 1987 effort Amazon Woman on the Moon, a film that, in its intermittent success, shows how difficult it is to make a sketch-comedy film as consistently funny as Kentucky Fried Movie.

    Absolutely Hilarious

    This movie is absolutely fantastic! Everything about it works perfectly to the comedy sketches they were going for. You have to be a fan of old movies and classics in order to fully appreciate this film.
