I love Kentucky Fried Movie! But I think A Fistful of Yen takes the cake for the best cut off that film... posted by OverlappingElvis at 9:14 PM on July 15, 2006
That's not even the best part of the movie. A Fistful of Yen is better, imo. posted by bob sarabia at 9:16 PM on July 15, 2006
Kentucky Fried Movie is great, but in all honesty, I think KFM-clone UHF surpassed it in the skit department. posted by majick at 9:18 PM on July 15, 2006
I've got to get this Kentucky Fried Movie. I'd never even heard of it. Fun stuff. :-) posted by persona non grata at 9:21 PM on July 15, 2006
Goodie bag TV. That deserves a slight heh, but otherwise...WTF? posted by UbuRoivas at 9:21 PM on July 15, 2006

There's a torrent up at torrentspy that should be pretty well seeded, if you're so inclined. Of course, you could just rent it. I have a thing for downloading movies. posted by bob sarabia at 9:26 PM on July 15, 2006
Quality humor. What, it's Saturday night, what are you all doing reading this? posted by anthill at 9:28 PM on July 15, 2006
I would have had a lot more fun at my catholic high school if the girls had been so willing to...get into trouble. posted by liquorice at 9:37 PM on July 15, 2006
Ah... fond memories! This is one of those early films that made me realize I loved big ol' boobies... :) There's more than a few such clips in that movie, including the final "skit" involving ZAZ as news reporters watching people through their TV. That said, it's almost certainly the worst of the ZAZ films (Airplane, Top Secret, Police Squad, etc). Also, I do believe that the Uschi Digart shower scene clips are ripped right from a Russ Meyer film (with squeaky balloon noises dubbed in the ZAZ crew, of course). posted by hincandenza at 10:16 PM on July 15, 2006

So you know, "ZAZ" stands for David Zucker, Jim Abrams and Jerry Zucker. They're still making movies today, although the quality has gone downhill. My favorite bit from Kentucky Fried Movie, by the way, has to be That's Armageddon! posted by JHarris at 1:32 AM on July 16, 2006

It's amazing how if you make enough jokes, someone, somewhere going to find some of it humourous. It's like throwing poo at a fan and seeing if you get hit. Not necessarily the best way to make a comedy, however. posted by Sparx at 2:32 PM on July 16, 2006

It's me or KFM takes some ideas from Monty Python's Flying Circus? If it's not me, many sketches were already old in the '77. Now that every part of it it's been scavenged by directors of bad movies it's even worse.
Anyway A fistful of Yen it's quite cool. The Mefites that thinks otherwise should be sent to Detroit (Noooooo!)

Yeah, drstein, and you have us Canadians to thank for the masterpiece that is "Porkys" and the cinematic masterpieces it inspired. posted by persona non grata at 5:26 PM on July 16, 2006
Fist full of Yen has the best martial arts maneuver in history,
knock him down, and drop a transmission on him.

This was a ZAZ movie, but also directed by John Landis, who gave us (was responsible for?) some great 80's gems.
I remember watching "Amazon Women on the Moon" back in High School and laughing my ass off. "Airplane" will always remain the funniest. movie. ever. posted by zardoz at 5:26 PM on July 17, 2006
Not FPP-worthy, but pretty damned funny. I remember watching Kentucky Fried Movie many moons ago, and yes, this was the scene I remembered too. posted by Doohickie at 8:31 PM on July 17, 2006
