Stupidity
Perfected: Kentucky
Fried Movie
by
Christian De Matteo
Super
The first Zucker, Zucker and Abrams (The
Naked Gun series, Top
Secret) collaboration, Kentucky
Fried Movie set the standard for all insane
humor to follow.
An American answer to Monty Python, the
movie is a day of television programming from
the funny part of Hell, never even attempting a
coherent plot, and existing only to make you
laugh your butt off.
The only movie who could ever claim to have had
Donald Sutherland appear solely as “The Clumsy
Waiter,” it moves from one ridiculous sketch
to the next, perfecting the running gag,
remembering it’s goal and never letting
formula mess with its aspirations.
Starting with a series of 2 to 3 minute
sketches, some continuous, others wonderfully
disjointed, it moves into a half hour spoof of Enter
the Dragon that is its only road bump.
The spoofing is perfect; the only problem
is that the viewer has to have a pretty decent
memory of Dragon
to fully appreciate its almost line-by-line
spoofing. For
a knowledgeable viewer, however, the spoof is
flawless and hysterical.
After this, it moves on to more sketches, one funnier
than the next and an ending that is the only one
that could have been put on the movie.
Like The Naked
Gun? Sit
back and prepare to be shocked, and sometimes
hurting with laughter.
