 | Some comedy classics are as funny today as they were the day they were made and others just dont hold up, this is one of those. Much like South Park is today KFM was probaby the equivilant in 1977, unfortunately for KFM its 2005 and the jokes dont even come close to holding up and are too tame to shock by todays standards. Granted they did throw in some nudity to keep this from becoming a comedy central late night rerun staple but even all of the bouncing boobs couldnt get me to crack a smile. I almost thought i was going to laugh at one part but by the time the setup was through i had already played the joke in my head 3 or 4 times and so when they delivered it i was too prepared and such was my experience with the entire film. Its probably worth seeing if your REALLY BORED AND REALLY STONED but even then dont expect too much or youll be let down like i was. I read on IMDB that David Letterman tried our for a role in this movie and they decided to go with some other forgetable actor instead, that decision about sums up this movie.......could have been more but ended up VERY forgetable. |

| I saw this movie at my local Drive In back in 1977. Gee. I was 17 years old then. This movie contains crude jokes, nudity, some gratuitous violence and some very funny sight gags. In other words it is PERFECT Drive In Movie Fare.I wasn't driving that night (my friend Panna was the designatd driver) and this movie got funnier as my Blood/Alcohol content got higher.It is amazing what a six pack of Miller Beer can do to enhance a movie. "Cold Beer and HOT nights " as Billy Joel once sang!!!Ah my Lost Youth!!! |

| This movie is funny. Ok, we got that out of the way, but it is best that you know this before watching this movie. What do you expect from a movie like this? Well, nothing really. Expect nothing and get a world of laughter.
Kentucky Fried Movie is a pure skit movie. There is more transition between the skits than Saturday Night Live, and somehow all the skits melt together to form this literal melting pot of tasteless, or tasty, humour. It seems that it was heavily influenced by Monty Python, especially be the movie "And Now for Something Completely Different." However, the humour in this movie is far more slapstick and low brow than the at-times somewhat sophisticated Python humour.
Sometimes, you will forget why you are laughing, but you will still be bent over: laughing your arse off. During the "Enter the Dragon" parody, I literally missed the next minute of the movie because I couldn't hold in my laughter.
The movie did what it set out to do: make people laugh and cry, ok just laugh. So even though some of the humour may be a little dated, it does not become less funny. |

| There is a problem with the audio level on my copy. It's extremely low. I have to turn the TV up to max to hear anything. I might just have bad luck, as no one else is really complaining about the audio levels. But they're way too low.
Feel free to post a contradictory review if you have a copy with good audio.
The film itself is a comedy classic and is a must-own for any cult/comedy film buff. |
