- The quintessential worn-out VHS tape midnight movie, The Kentucky Fried Movie is organized chaos, horrible and wonderful, gleefully offensive and easily one of the funniest things I have ever seen. Structurally, it's a series of comedy sketches arranged to resemble after-hours programming on a local TV station from the late 70's. While the longest sketch is a detailed riff on Enter the Dragon, the film lampoons subjects as varied as commercial advertisements, educational videos, courtroom dramas, blaxploitation films, and the nightly news. Since any further discussion will inevitably lead to me repeating dozens of the film's most memorable quotes, I'll cut this review short by noting that it was the second movie directed by John Landis and the first to be written by Jim Abrahams and David and Jerry Zucker. Film at 11, etc.
- With cameo appearances by Donald Sutherland, Bill Bixby, Henry Gibson, and George Lazenby.
