DVD Reviews of Kentucky Fried Movie
DVD Review: KFM
Summary: 3 Stars
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." DVD Review: Alright, Not Great
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
DVD Review: Some will love this Gross-Out Humor Movie
Summary: 4 Stars
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.DVD Review: Hysterical
Summary: 4 Stars
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.DVD Review: I guess you had to be there...
Summary: 4 Stars
Is this a GREAT movie? Um , Citizen Kane it is NOT. Is the humor PC? Ah, no... Well then, is it a funny movie anyway? Well, frankly...that depends on when you were born and where you were when it came out. Much like The Groove Tube, this takes a jab at several topics "of it's day." If you happened to be around in 1970's USA, then you either saw this movie at the theater or wished you had... (And 1970's USA cannot be stressed enough!)
Like TGT, some of the jokes have lost their edge... Not because they're not funny, but because they are time/era specific. If you remember the TV and movies of the early to mid 70's it's a funny movie. If you have no experience with those...well, it may well prove a little flat. Hmmm, perhaps a lot flat. Yeah, it's dated in many parts but then maybe that's a product of overzealous PC run rampent as much as it is somewhat dated sophomoric humor...
Bottom (snicker) line: If you were at least 11-12 (minimum) when it came out (and had cool parents!) then go ahead and buy it...along with The Groove Tube, invite a bunch of your "old" friends over and have a blast. OTOH, if the 70's happened WAAAAY before your time...find somebody "older" that owns it AND can explain some of the jokes. ;-) (That goes for both this and TGT.)
All in all it's a funny movie that doesn't pretend to be anything more than a bunch of stupid skits. If you can live with that...and it's somewhat dated humor, then go for it.
FWIW, I happen to think this is a bit better than The Groove Tube but they're still both worth owning...if you were there.

Title: KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE
Street Release Date: 09/07/2004
Genre: COMEDY VIDEO
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
