The Kentucky Fried Movie
The Kentucky Fried Movie is a series of short, highly irreverent, and quite often tasteless skits: 'Catholic High School Girls in Trouble,' 'Zinc Oxide,' 'Sex Record,' 'Cleopatra Schwartz,' 'That's Armageddon!' and 'A Fistful of Yen.'

Saturday Night Live had been doing the same thing, only better, on TV for two years prior to this... and Monty Python had been doing something far more subversive and positively genius with their Flying Circus for nearly a decade prior...

Vulgar and uproariously funny.

Still packs in the laughs at a non-stop rate...

Some episodes are coarse and sadly unfunny.

The Kentucky Fried Movie misses as often as it hits, but when the writers and Landis arrive at a great idea ... it's like watching an entire fruitful comic perspective being spawned.

Smart and satirical but very dated, obviously.

Most of the jokes still hold up excellently even today and with spoof commercials and trailers so popular these days, especially today, The Kentucky Fried Movie proves to be both hilarious and curiously prescient.

The range of its satire and comedy, as displayed in 22 segments running from a minute or two up to 30 minutes, is fairly narrow.

It's easy to spoof cliches; it's something else again to string them together with the insight into narrative structure these boys evidence.

The Kentucky Fried Movie boasts excellent production values and some genuine wit, though a few of the sketches are tasteless.
