Summary: KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE
Comment: A CULT CLASSIC!!!!!!!! IT IS ONE OF THE BEST COMEDY MOVIES THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN AND WILL CONTINUE TO WATCH!!!! GREAT STUFF!!!! YOU NEVER STOP LAUGHING WHEN YOU WATCH THIS MOVIE!!!
Customer Rating:
Summary: KFM
Comment: The original introduction to the movie is missing, and that's not a good thing. "A Fistful Of Yen" is a true classic and the reason I bought the movie. If anything, buy the movie for "A Fistful Of Yen."

Summary: Alright, Not Great
Comment: Playing a number of obscure online games and belonging to a number of absurdist forums, I've been bombarded with references to Kentucky Fried Movie. I finally decided to buy it to see what the fuss was about, and was not severely disappointed. Many of the jokes fall just short of being funny, but are close enough for an effort grade. The bits that did get a laugh from me were so great as to nearly carry the four star rating on their own. Close to the middle, a parody of pornography turns into pornography, so this movie really isn't appropriate for younger viewers.
It has its dull moments, but I would definitely recommend this film to any absurdist, comedy fan, or budding classic movie collector.

Summary: Some will love this Gross-Out Humor Movie
Comment: The style of this movie makes the intro seem somewhat disjointed. I found the move entertaining and amusing. My brother praised it to the skies. Fans of John Waters will find this movie somewhat tame, but in a similar vein.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Hysterical
Comment: I laughed so hard in this movie, and I don't recognize any of the actors. Where did all these people go? Someone recently recommended this too me, and it's just the stupid type of humor I love. Right up there with Borat and 40-year old virgin in terms of laughs.

Editorial Reviews:

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
