Product Description From the director of Animal House and the creators of Airplane and The Naked Gun comes the original madcap, most out-of-control spoof of all time. The one that started it all!! The Kentucky Fried Movie! Featuring a cast of more than a few but less than a lot, this insane collection of comedy skits includes such now famous sketches as the Kung-Fu parody, "A Fistful of Yen", and the legendary "Catholic School Girls in Trouble." Enjoy the future of moviegoing with the "Feel-A-Round" theater experience. See notable and highly respected actor Donald Sutherland as the clumsiest waiter in motion picutre history. Watch such characters as Cleopatra Schwartz and Big Jim Slade tickle your funny bone until it has to be removed surgically! Directed by John Landis and written by Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, and Jerry Zucker, and featuring appearances by ex-James Bond George Lazenby and The Incredible Hulk star Bill Bixby, The Kentucky Fried Movie is the cult classic you've been waiting for! It's a virtual guarantee (not an actual guarantee) that you will not find another film iwth as many side- splitting moments of pure unadulterated hilarity as The Kentucky Fried Movie. desertcart.com 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 P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Set Contains: This DVD offers a surprising amount of information for such a little film. More than 18 minutes of home movies shot on-set and more than 100 black-and-white pictures are included in addition to the audio commentary. Director Landis, Abrahams, the Zucker brothers, and producer Robert Weiss ruminate over the picture, admitting they haven't seen it in 20 years; a lot of the talk is asking who the various actors are and if they were still alive. More informative is the history of the Kentucky Fried Theater, how the fivesome raised money for the film, Landis's remarks on why the film would now be rated NC-17, the revelation that David Letterman auditioned, and how they lucked out in finding the lead for "A Fistful of Yen." The DVD chapter stops make it easy to find a favorite segment. Did we mention "Catholic High School Girls in Trouble"? --Doug Thomas See more Review: Too bad it's not in "feel-o-vision" - From the team of director John Landis and the pre-Airplane and Naked Gun Zucker/Abrahams/Zucker trio, the Kentucky Fried Movie is the king of raunch comedy. Made in 1977 on an ultra shoestring budget, the Kentucky Fried Movie is a mish-mash of sketches, commercial parodies, fake movie trailers, and fake news reports that are all intertwined. There's plenty of unforgettable moments of hilarity throughout, including the trailers for "Cleopatra Shwartz" and the infamous "Catholic High School Girls in Trouble", as well as the inspired courtroom sketch and a movie viewer's experience with "feel-o-vision". The standout however is the lengthy parody of the Bruce Lee classic Enter the Dragon entitled "Fistful of Yen" which pulls no punches and must be seen to be believed. The closing skit, in which a couple begin to have some fun on the couch while the news is on the TV, is a standout as well. One time James Bond George Lazenby and Incredible Hulk star, the late Bill Bixby, also make appearances, and they keep their faces surprisingly straight in their scenes. All in all, while Caddyshack may take the credit for being the godfather of slob comedies, no one can deny that the Kentucky Fried Movie set the stage for all the raunchy sex comedies and skits to be made in the last 25 years, and with the DVD being this cheap, there's no reason not to pick it up. Review: Love this movie!! - A must-see & must-own movie. From some of the cornier, shorter bits to the longer piece on Enter the Dragon, this is an entirely sick, unrelentingly funny work. Wally & the Beav!! Aveinu Shalom Alecheim! "Order, order! I'll have a chocolate soda with whipped cream & cherries". "Check your briefs". It just doesn't stop. What can be said briefly to sum it up? Ah! "YOU HAVE OUR GWATITUDE!!"

Love this movie!!
A must-see & must-own movie. From some of the cornier, shorter bits to the longer piece on Enter the Dragon, this is an entirely sick, unrelentingly funny work. Wally & the Beav!! Aveinu Shalom Alecheim! "Order, order! I'll have a chocolate soda with whipped cream & cherries". "Check your briefs". It just doesn't stop. What can be said briefly to sum it up? Ah!

Raunchy and funny!!!!
The _Kentucky Fried Movie_ was created by the same crew who would later make the movie _Airplane_, and if you like _Airplane_'s screwball humor, you'll like _Kentuck Fried Movie_. The one caveat is that _Kentucky Fried Movie_ is much raunchier than _Airplane_. The cover art is a bit innocuous, so be warned if there's kids in the room. As long as you're okay with that, be prepared for a wild ride! I've never seen any other movie that does so deftly combines slapstick physical comedy (like the usher in the cinema skit) with fairly sophisticated dry humor (the parody of talk shows and Jacque Cousteau), social parody ("AM Today" and the intermittent news flashes), and fairly explicit sexual humor. In addition to regular skits, there are also a number of spoof movie previews, like "Catholic High School Girls in Trouble" and "That's Armageddon!", that make the movie worth seeing all by itself. I've yet to recommend this to someone and have a bad reaction, but I'm also pretty careful to only recommend it to people who won't be easily offended. But as long as you're not a prude, _Kentucky Fried Movie_ should have SOMETHING that you'll like!

Great First Effort!
Interesting movie as the first effort of the Zucker Brothers & Jim Abrams (Airplane! Naken Gun, Police Squad...) and directed by John Landis. Many of the vignettes are very funny, some out there, a few not quite my taste.

Hard not to Love this movie:)
It never gets old. Still enjoy watching even over 30 years since it's release. This is a role model film for most if not all comedies that came after it. You and everyone else really should own this film. If you DON'T enjoy comedy, then I do feel sorry for you, it's a shame. If you DO enjoy comedy then this film is perfect for you. Get this movie! Won't disappoint.

It still makes kills me
If you are a fan of sight gags, one - liners, and good ol' sarcasm, please get you mitts on this flick. It's loaded with just about anything that a twisted mind can dream up and toss it in a movie. Really when I first say this back in college, I almost had to be carried out of the theater. This will KILL you.... with laughter of course. I won't go into any detail on what the movie's about. If I did I'll have to kill you, ha, ha... Find out for yourself. Oh, by the way... do you know any Catholic school girl???

Film: Eine wirklich zusammenhängende Story gibt es in 'Kentucky Fried Movie' nicht. Vielmehr ist der Film eine Sketchparade in Form eines fiktiven Fernsehprogramms, und so wird dem Zuseher eine bunte Mischung aus Talk-Show, Programmhinweisen, Werbespots und natürlich dem 'Spielfilm' 'Für eine Handvoll Yen' (eine rund halbstündige Parodie auf die Kung-Fu-Eastern jener Zeit) geboten. Neben dem Fernsehen nimmt der Film aber auch das Kino mit seinen damals populäre Genres wie Katastrophenfilme oder die Blaxploitation-Filme aufs Korn. Mit der Sketchepisode '"Katholische Schulmädchen in Not'" werden auch die Sexfilme jener Zeit auf die Schippe genommen. Überhaupt drehen sich nicht wenige der Witze und Sketche um das Thema Sex, und über einen Mangel an nackten Brüsten dürfte sich ein Zuseher am Ende wohl nicht beklagen können. Über die Qualität der Sketche lässt sich natürlich diskutieren: Meist bieten Regisseur John Landis und das Autorentrio Jerry Zucker, David Zucker und Jim Abrahams (Die unglaubliche Reise in einem verrückten Flugzeug) m.E. in ihren Sketchen trashig, derbe und nicht selten pubertär wirkenden Humor. Zudem können die Filmemacher aus meiner Sicht nicht ganz verbergen, dass sie erst am Anfang ihres Wirkens stehen. Manche Witze und Ideen wirken auf mich daher plump, und erinnern gelegentlich mehr an ein Schulprojekt von Teenagern. Doch trotz mancher Schwächen zählt für mich 'Kentucky Fried Movie' immer noch zu den unterhaltsamen Vertretern seiner Zeit. Der Film sprüht insgesamt vor witzigen und schrägen Einfällen (etwa einem Werbespot für die Wiedereingliederung von Toten in die familiäre Gemeinschaft). Mein Fazit daher: 'Kentucky Fried Movie' besteht aus Nonsens pur! Auch wenn Machart und viele Gags im Kontext der Siebziger zu sehen sind, so bleiben für mich doch noch zahlreiche Witze zeitlos gut. Daher gute 7,5 von 10 Punkten. Bildqualität: Die Bildqualität schwankt stark: Während gerade die Anfangssequenzen für mich einen gewissen Videolook aufweisen, und keine HD würdige Detailschärfe zeigen, bessert sich später das Bild nach der Episode "Amerika heute" merklich. Wenngleich das Bild m.E. auch später noch Schwankungen aufweist, so konnte mich hier die Bildqualität mit einer insgesamt guten Detailschärfe und trotz des Alters noch relativ kräftigen Farben positiv überraschen. Das Bild wirkt auf mich auch nie unnatürlich glatt, sondern hat oftmals ein sichtbares feines Filmkorn. Das Bild ist nicht völlig frei von Verschmutzungen, doch empfand ich diese nie als störend. (Auch könnte es sich bei einigen Verschmutzungen um ein Stilmittel halten). Tonspuren/Untertitel: An Tonspuren ist die deutsche Synchronfassung und die englische Spur vorhanden. Die deutsche Tonspur fand ich gut verständlich. Optional lassen sich deutsche und englische Untertitel einblenden. Extras: Auf der Filmdisc (Blu-Ray) selbst befinden sich Trailer und die Bildgalerie (z.B. Kinoaushänge). Daneben ist auch eine Open Matte Fassung enthalten. Zusätzlich bietet diese Ausgabe neben den Extras auf der Blu-Ray noch eine eigene Bonus-Disc: Den Schwerpunkt bildet hier ein gut einstündiges Gespräch mit David und Jerry Zucker. Das Interview selbst fand ich informativ - Leider habe ich aber vergeblich nach Möglichkeit gesucht. deutsche Untertitel zu diesem in englisch geführten Gespräch dazu zuschalten. Als weitere Extras befinden sich auf der Disc eine Super-8 Fassung und 'Behind the Scenes' Material. Passend zur Sequenz 'Eine Handvoll Yen' gibt es zudem eine Trailershow zu Eastern. Außerdem enthält diese Edition ein 20-seitiges Booklet und den Film als DVD.
