The Kentucky Fried Movie
1977, English. Directed by John Landis.
The hottest, most out-of-control movie ever to stagger onto the screen!
A series of loosely connected skits that spoof news programs, commercials, porno films, kung-fu films, disaster films, blaxploitation films, spy films, mafia films, and the fear that somebody is watching you on the other side of the TV.
