Plot Summary
The original take-off cult classic from the highly successful team of David Zucker, Jim Abrahams and Jerry Zucker (Airplane, The Naked Gun), this “uproariously funny [film]” (TV Guide) launched a thousand laughs and serves as a precursor to the raunch-fests of the ‘80s and the blockbuster success of the Farrelly Brothers films. Directed by the legendary John Landis (Animal House, The Blues Brothers), The Kentucky Fried Movie features a lewd, loosely connected collection of skits that spoof blaxploitation films, news shows, porno movies, TV commercials, kung fu flicks and more! Including well-known stars such as Bill Bixby, Donald Sutherland, Tony Dow, George Lazenby and Henry Gibson, this one-of-a-kind film features over 22 gut-bustingly hilarious segments including: "Cleopatra Schwartz" "The Wonderful World Of Sex" "Catholic High School Girls In Trouble" "A Fistful Of Yen" And More! The Kentucky Fried Movie – uncensored, uncut and unapologetic!

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: 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.
Fresh: The Kentucky Fried Movie boasts excellent production values and some genuine wit, though a few of the sketches are tasteless.
Fresh: It's easy to spoof cliches; it's something else again to string them together with the insight into narrative structure these boys evidence.
Fresh: Smart and satirical but very dated, obviously.
