I probably would've enjoyed this seminal stain if I'd seen it during its original theatrical run rather than 50 years later after having watched all of the films and shows it inspired. As it is, this comedy original is cliché.

Not unlike Monty Python's Flying Circus or The Benny Hill Show, The Kentucky Fried Movie, no actual relation to Kentucky or chicken, is an uneven collection of comedy skits, but being this is not for television it is sleazed up for one's viewing pleasure.

Parodying much of 70s TV shows and movies More
