Time to get in trouble with some Catholic high school girls!

Basically the same sort of thing as Ken Shapiro's "The Groove Tube", "The Kentucky Fried Movie" portrays a series of satirical TV skits...which of course means chock full of stuff that would never get on TV. It's not as good as "The Groove Tube", but if you don't come away from this one nearly hoarse - if not dead - from laughter, then you must lack a sense of humor. It's hard to say what my favorite part was, but I sure wouldn't have minded getting in trouble with those Catholic high school girls! So anyway, it's a real treat. Feel-a-rama, the botched news broadcast, Point/Counterpoint, and last but not least the martial arts spoof, they all show what satire is all about.

I wonder if "Deep Throat" was supposed to be something about Watergate. If so, then that would have been some scandal!

Saturday Night Live on acid

There's something to be said for any movie that actually has a character named "Enormous Genitals". This is the first movie by the Zucker Brothers, the same geniuses that brought us Airplane, Top Secret and the Naked Gun movies. Haven't seen this yet? Pull up a nice comfy chair and get ready for 90 of the most hilarious minutes of film you can find. Cleopatra Schwartz is a riot, A Fistful Of Yen is the best spoof of Enter The Dragon or any Kung Fu film ever. The mock commercials are funny too. Anybody with Attention Deficit Disorder like me, this is the movie for you. It never stops moving, not for a minute. Henry Gibson's bit roll in this will have you laughing for days. But it's Samuel L. Bronkowitz's presentation of Catholic High School Girls In Trouble that will sit in you the longest. Best line: "Show me your/you're nuts! They certainly have.

The great big sketch show....some work, some not quite.

Two segments of this early Zucker Brothers comedy stand out for me; A very quick air freshener commercial and a spoof of grade school/junior high school science videos. Most of it, however, lays there, perhaps dated, perhaps overshadowed by classic moments from TV sketch shows, maybe even more overshadowed by what the Zucker Brothers went on to do. The air freshener commercial takes the actual actresses from a commercial that aired at the time, and inserts a tag line that really makes something hit the fan, and the Zink Oxide science video spoof will bring back memories to adults of a certain age who would get this sort of thing in school, or further back, as a movie short when going to the movies meant a lot of extras besides previews, and minus the tons of commercials they've added today.

The other sketches are a mixed bag, mostly the type of bag you use for comfort on an airplane, with a mixture of childish farce, a bit of T&A and the most absurd for me, a Karate movie spoof that ends with the Bruce Lee like actor in drag as a cultural icon in one of her most famous characters is the low point, but I don't see the point of karate films to begin with. What really should get a lower rating from me gets middle of the ground, because it shows the growing genius behind what would go on to create "Airplane!", the "Police Squad" films (later "Naked Gun") and influence other comic writers to give you a "Hellzapoppin'" type pain from laughing so much.
