“The Kentucky Fried Movie” is a satirical sketch comedy film that was released in 1977. Directed by John Landis and written by the comedy team of Zucker, Abrahams, and Zucker (famously known as ZAZ), the movie is a collection of various unrelated skits, parodies, and fake commercials, all woven together with a loose narrative.

The film is known for its irreverent and often raunchy humor, pushing the boundaries of taste and political correctness. It takes aim at a wide range of subjects, including movies, television, commercials, and social issues, delivering a rapid-fire succession of gags and one-liners.

While “The Kentucky Fried Movie” does not have a cohesive plot, it maintains a consistent tone of absurdity and silliness throughout. The sketches range from a spoof of Bruce Lee films, called “A Fistful of Yen,” to a parody of educational films, titled “Catholic High School Girls in Trouble.” Other notable segments include a courtroom drama featuring Ronald Reagan and an advertisement for a “Feel-O-Rama” theater experience.

The film’s low-budget production values are evident, but they add to its charm and help create a deliberately cheesy aesthetic. The performances are often over-the-top, which suits the comedic style of the movie. “The Kentucky Fried Movie” features several recognizable faces, including Bill Bixby, Evan C. Kim, and George Lazenby.

Opinions on “The Kentucky Fried Movie” are divided. Some viewers appreciate its irreverent humor, rapid-fire style, and willingness to take risks. The film’s parodies and cultural references from the 1970s add to its nostalgic appeal for certain audiences. However, others may find the humor dated, offensive, or simply not to their taste.

Overall, “The Kentucky Fried Movie” is a cult classic that holds a special place in the history of comedy. It paved the way for the success of the Zucker brothers’ later films, such as “Airplane!” and “The Naked Gun” series. If you enjoy irreverent and sometimes outrageous sketch comedy, “The Kentucky Fried Movie” might be worth checking out. Just be aware that its humor can be quite risqué and may not appeal to everyone.
