The Kentucky Fried Movie

1977·Movie·R·83 min·6.2(359)

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.
