Get ready for something completely different! The Kentucky Fried Movie is a cult sketch comedy that blew up when it was released and laid the foundation for all modern parody. Behind the film are the masters of the genre, David Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and Jerry Zucker (the ZAZ team), who later created classics such as Airplane! and The Naked Gun.
The film is a fast-paced and completely unrestrained collection of short sketches, fake commercials, news parodies, and movie trailers. Nothing is sacred as the creators mock everything from TV shops and soap operas to war movies and Bruce Lee's martial arts epics. The heart of the film is the long and hilarious "A Fistful of Yen" segment, which is a direct and merciless parody of the classic Enter the Dragon.
