19:36 Final Thoughts and Review - Zábava
Congratulations! SOO many reactors never get hip to this one, but it's a gem. This was like a regular movie to pop in on a Friday or Saturday night, when you're just watching ridiculous comedy all night long. This one was for the comedy connoisseurs. If you met someone who seemed like they would get it, you'd show them this, maybe Spinal Tap.
My body was in pain from laughing so much
@@RKnights If you liked this you should check out The Onion Movie
@@RKnights I could tell! I'm so glad you got to see it. I need my own "copy" now.
@@RKnightsI saw this in I believe 1987. I was about 12, & we visited a friend of my brothers who loaned me a bunch of movies. Mostly old sci-fi stuff like Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon (yes THAT one), the original Battlestar Galactica, etc. But he also included both Airplane movies &... Kentucky Fried Movie. Those 3 comedy movies are why I love this type of humor. My favorite parts, the Bruce Lee sketch which was a ripoff of Enter The Dragon, the Oil news story, and Death is still our #1 killer. Even only seeing parts of them I lost it. Glad you liked it too.
You have to watch AMAZON WOMEN ON THE MOON. I've heard it's a sequel to the Kentucky fried movie. But it is hilarious I mean hilarious. And the older fella in your group, I'm sorry I don't know anyone's name, but the older fellow will forget what decade did he is in. AMAZON WOMEN ON THE MOON
I’ve had friends literally fall off the couch doubled over on the floor from laughing when I’ve showed them this movie for the first time. 😂 good times
Such a great film.
"take him to Detroit" is a classic.
That line is so good 🤣🤣🤣
That would be most people's reaction to being sent to Detroit today too.
ZAZ Hates Detroit. It shows up in many of their movies.
I wore out my VHS copy of this picture. The idea is you are watching TV. Great reaction, you have our gratitude.
"...Big Jim Slade..." and "Rex Kramer, Danger Seeker":still jist crack me up.
Big Jim Slade!!! 🤣🤣🤣
I showed the "Rex Kramer" part to a 'black friend' - he had the same reaction to you guys. He was gasping for air from laughing so much - then he bought himself the DVD the very next day (he LOVED the entire film).
Airplane: Get me Rex Kramer!
Haven't seen this film for over 40 years and pissed myself with your reactions to it. 😂🤣😂🤣
I was dizzy from this.
40 years? That's too long! I have it on DVD
@@jathygamer8746 Watched it with a mate on his betamax video recorder in 1981 when we were both 18
My buddies & I used to watch this at the Midnight Show at our local theater. They would alternate this with The Song Remains the Same. This was the first major movie from the Zucker Brothers. Believe it or not, they also directed Ghost with Patrick Swayze.
5:00 -- Gorilla was played by legendary makeup master and creature creator Rick Baker.
I first saw this movie on VHS around 1990. Omg, I still remember the Bruce Lee spoof and the Rex Crammer stunt. Those two were some of the funniest things Ive ever seen.
The kung fu parody makes 1000x more sense when you see Enter the Dragon
One of the best reactions I’ve ever seen. I do remember seeing this in a movie theater in 1977, and as hard as you were laughing, that was me back then. Another film you may want to react too (if you can find it) in the same vein as this is the 1974 film “The Groove Tube”.
Tunnel Vision is one I saw before this one and can never find it anywhere.
I like the Groove tube more the this one
Bill Bixby is best known for the Incredible Hulk TV show.
That's right! Thanks! I totally forgot.
The Incredible Hulk and My Favorite Martian
I swear this is the only film ever where at the end I literally fell out my chair on the floor, laughing - together with half the cinema. Good times.
That pattycake double punch move was from Bob Hope and Bing Crosby in the Road movies. ❤️❤️
The best way to describe this movie is that it portrays a day in the life of a TV station. Most of the jokes fit in that story line (except for a few that fall outside the format). There's the commercials, the news people, the movies shown, trailers for other movies and the like.
I love watching the Kentucky Fried Movie at least once a year. It is THAT incredible.
There are elements of the TV Series, Police Squad! Here...the aerial shot of NYC with the graphic Hong Kong over it is a running gag in that TV series.
And Rex Kramer is a character in Airplane!
Love Police Squad!
Leslie Nielsen is the voice in the "Feel-around" movie.
"Get me Rex Kramer"
@@richardrobbins387 I believe they should react to the Police Squad! series. Only 6 episodes.
@@richardrobbins387 I'm not sure that's true. But according to the imdb page, Tina "Ginger Rogers" Louise is the female voice. A quick search did not reveal a result for Nielsen. As far as I know, when ZAZ went to him for Airplane, that was his first experience with comedy.
@beauxguss6321
Years ago... (roughly 15 or so)
I watched the movie with commentary, and I swear they mentioned it was Nielsen. Might've been high, and just assumed it because he sounded similar.
Saw this in theater with a bunch of friends when it first came out, we were juiniors in high school and laughed till we were crying. Just like in Airrplane, many of thejokes were very timly for the late 70s, especially the "ads" they spoofed. Most started out word for word like the real ad before spinning off into insanity. Any time the real ad would come on after seeing this movie you not help but bust out laughing. Also, the danger seakers bit was based on a real show at the time called thrill seakers, and it started out the same way with the guy landing a hang glider and doing the speach. The late 70s qere so much fun, and so much freer than now and this movie spoofs so much of that time in a crazy way that goes perfectly with the times.
This movie and "Amazon Women on the Moon" were just two of the amazing pieces of film-making by the Zucker-Abrahms-Zucker combo (who brought us Airplane! and the Naked Gun -series) ... just wacky, off the wall, out of left field, sometimes ridiculous, sometimes raunchy, but always silly laughter. I used to watch these all the time in college (was too young to see them when they were originally in theatres) ... thank goodness for home-video VHS rentals
ZAZ weren't involved with Amazon Women, however John Landis directed both
I always thought of Kentucky Friend Movie and Amazon Women on the Moon as "bird of a feather," so to speak.
LOLLLL I love that you mentioned that stupid Hays Code, which I believe went away by 1970. after that the movie industry went NUTS with movies like this ("Show me your nuts" also cracked me up, the dude acting nuts!)
29:29 yeah, this actor was in "Caveman" with Ringo Starr. He speaks perfect English, actually in that movie it's part of the humor.
I can't wait for the reactions of two amazing comedies Porky's (1981) and Revenge of the Nerds (1984)
Yes. They really should just do a tour of 70s and 80s comedies. They were ridiculous and so much fun because they just didn't give a crap
@@LA_HA 👍👍👍👍
Put this man in cell number one...
I was 19 when it came out, and I saw it in the theater. Great stuff. You had so much fun.
Just some actors that were in this:
Donald Sutherland. George Lazenby (who played James Bond that one time), Evan Kim (who was Clint Eastwood's partner in "Dead Pool"), Bill Bixby (who played the Incredible Hulk's alter ego in the TV show).
The Zucker brothers who wrote this were actually playing in a couple of scenes. John Landis, the director, played the bearded guy when the woman said "show me your nuts."
There was also Henry Gibson (Death is still our #1 killer) who was the leader of the Nazis in Blues Brothers.
I first saw this on cable when I was a kid in the early 80s.Don't think I've seen it in over 20 years. Talk about a trip down memory lane.
My favorite gag is the movie in feelaround. I think the three guys watching the couple make out from the TV are Zucker Abrams and Zucker.
Been keeping an eye for your next Babylon 5 reaction. 11 days since the last one! 11 days! I'm like a thirsty man being given everything except water.... 😁
It should be up this week
A great movie from 1977 is Slap Shot.
Another one I have not seen either.
⭐ABSOLUTELY!!!
@@RKnights All time sports classic. I worked for Comcast Sportsnet in Philadelphia and produced a 2-part special for the 25th anniversary of the movie's release. The special ended up on the German DVD release.
Oh wow. All this time, I though Kentucky Fried Movie came out in the 90s. I first hear about this in the 90s but never watched it. So excited to see your reaction and all the spoilers. :)
You should go and watch it first. It's sooooo funny
This is a reaction of extraordinary magnitude! This is not a shawade. We need toto concentwation.
Have the other guys watch it and I'll watch their reaction too! Just have popcorn for them at the start 😄
🎥 💓 🍿
I didn't see this movie until I was a "grown" man in my early 20's (1990 something) when I was on a quest to watch all the comedy masters on VHS. I sort of grew up watching Airplane. When I turned 18 and had enough money to buy my own VCR for my room, I went nuts renting movies on my days off. A friend told me about it and I finally saw KFM. The premise was Abrams' dad worked at a TV station and was able to bring home a broadcast, heavy duty VCR home. It used the large format tapes that TV stations used to record syndicated shows off satelite. For the time, it was the best quality you could get. For the heck of of, they started recording late night TV so they could see what was on when they, and the censors, were asleep (they were still in high school at the time). When they were a bit older, they started the Kentucky Fried Theater comedy troupe, performing skits in the format of late night TV. John Landis was one of their buds who "made it big" in Hollywood, actually writing and directing a "real" movie, Schlock (another 70's style random skit comedy movie full of dad jokes). So they did it. This movie perfectly encapsulates the 70's style of TV's and movies. I have it on DVD and plan on getting it on BluRay ASAP.
I've been trying to get some of my friends together to watch it as a group (all gen X and Z), but it hasn't worked out yet. Your reaction will hold me over until the planets align and I can do it.
For a totally random satire with random corny and dad jokes, of course, I recommend Top Secret, the Naked Gun series, and BaseketBall, all from Abrams and the Zucker brothers. For another "first movie" from a popular writer/director/producer, I recommend Bad Taste from Peter Jackson. Yes, "that" Peter Jackson. If you remember back in the day when people were freaking out about how "he" could be assigned the plum that was Lord of the Rings. This movie and Dead Alive kinds of explains the reluctance, but Bad Taste in particular is hilarious. When you do the reaction to it, I'll give you some crazy background stories. :)
Oh yea, the 70's while we had some God awful fashions, wall to wall shag carpet (always brown) and some kind of yarn in the shape of an owl to hold everybody's indoor plants we did have a really good sense of humor and vans with a waterbed. was 15 when it got to our dollar movie theater and I had to snick in because of the rating but so worth it
The knitted plant holders was "macrame"
John Landis + the Zucker-Abrahams team is almost too much hilarious for one sitting.
I love this movie, thanks for watching it. They tried something similar in the 80s called Amazon Women on the Moon. Worth tracking down.
_Amazon Women on the Moon_ isn't quite as "raw" as _Kentucky Fried Movie_ (and two or three of the sketches fall painfully flat) but it's still an absolute blast.
Man I hope they watch Amazon women on the moon
Now here's the good news...
They did *another* one like this, about a decade later. It's called "Amazon Women on The Moon"
Looking forward your reaction to that one...
Yeah I hope they react to Amazon women on
Although similar in tone, it was not a ZAZ movie.
OMG...I never thought I'd see anybody react to the KFM...thanks!!
Another movie in the same style was "The Groove Tube", one of Chevy Chase's earliest roles. The quality is not nearly as high being shot on videotape, but if you can find a copy it is still very funny.
Wow I haven't seen this since the 80s. My best friend was super into comedy and his family had it in their library. I'm pretty sure the first place I heard about it was watching the Michael Jackson Thriller documentary because that's how Michael selected John Landis to direct Thriller.
In high school , my friends and I went to the theater it was a double feature of Kentucky Fried Movie and the Groove Tube. Too funny.
Thank you. Your reaction to this movie is priceless. I have watched this movie over 100 times and I still laugh at it every time. I can look at the cover and just laugh for 20 minutes as the entire movie is being replayed in my head.
Great to see you reacting to this classic gem! I was hoping Bruce Lee's 'Enter The Dragon' was fresh in your minds when you were watching the spoof.
Thank you so much for reacting to this movie. I have tried for years to tell people about this movie and a lot of people don't believe its true. Thanks for proving I'm not crazy.
You need to do a video on Top Secret! (1984) next. The movie that made Val Kilmer a star.
I saw this movie in the theater when it first came out. I was 16, Talked my grandma into taking me
The opening line has always stuck with me!
"The popcorn you are eating has been pissed in, film at eleven"
I'm 63 now and still 😂
I forgot ALL about this movie, I've seen it a few times a looooooong time!!! Your reactions to this movie are hilarious!!
O.M.G. - I can't believe someone actually did a reaction to this. Good for you guys for surviving! If you liked this and Airplane, you should also consider "I'm Gonna Get You Sucka"
You kids, and the stuff you don't understand... I love it, except for the fact I'm so old.
I feel you, Dude. The movies in the 70s and 80s are a classic era that can't be duplicated.
You only as old as your spirit. Glad you spent time with us 😊
@@RKnights Hey, when I was born there were only 48 states. I'll tell you about old. Actually, my dad has seniority. Yup, he's still kicking.
Hilarious. I love the concept of a mini-movie with sketch comedy bookends.
This was, of course, made at a time when comedies were allowed to be funny.
Now you need to watch "Amazon Women On The Moon".
This movie couldn't be made today. Love this movie.
Hahahahah what a movie! Catholic High School Girls in Trouble and News Live at 11 the last clip is foooooooking hilarious
Someone else has probably mentioned, about ten years later, they did basically the same type of movie, and it's called Amazon Women On The Moon. VERY similar to this. Better production values, more famous(ish) faces.
They really need to do Amazon women on the moon
I've seen this movie a dozen times (I'm 64) and I love it, but I had a better time laughing at it again with you two guys than I had the first time I saw it. Since you liked this one so much you will certainly want to see "Amazon Women on the Moon."
Loved it! You guys gotta do The Groove Tube and Amazon Women on the Moon!
Second this suggestion.
Amazon Women On The Moon indeed.
Was one of those who suggested this. Now you're ready for "Amazon Women on the Moon"
In case the movie has to be excessively edited for CZcams, this reaction comes equipped with BIG JIM SLADE! (Dah dah dah DAAAH Daah da da daaah)
20:22 Mark! Huh?! Is it a coincidence that you mentioned those two characters in the same sentence?! 😮 A "film student" decades ago made the animated cartoon short subject known as "Bambi versus Godzilla"! 😅😂
OMG this movie is a masterpiece so funny and hilarious The Kentucky Fried Movie thank you so much guys. This film made me laughs so much😄😄😄😄
So educational. who knew zinc was so vital in everyday life!
Now that you guys have unearthed this one, here's a movie knitted from the same era and kilt: *'Tunnel Vision'* a long lost CLASSIC.
Samuel L Bronkowitz was the Martin Scorsese of Southeastern Poland.
Really? will look him up.
@@lizd2943 Seconded.
I was born in SE Poland, never heard of him.
@@wyrmshadow4374 Samuel L Bronkowitz was a conflation of Samuel Bronston and Joseph L. Mankiewicz. It's another joke in the movie.
Hahaha I remember seeing this at the drive in when I was in high school, fun times for sure, thanks y’all!
one of my favorite movies and probably my favorite reaction. 😂 thanks for this.
'Top Secret' with Val Kilmer is a similar satire that goes everywhere.
Such an underappreciated masterclasses in comedy. I quote this movie constantly
My parents never let me watch this movie as a kid. I found the VHS anyway!
The writers of this are Z.A.Z. (Zucker, Abrahams, Zucker) who went on to do Airplane, Top Secret and The Naked Gun. There style was once perfectly described as "You laugh twice, once at the joke and then again at yourself for finding it funny"
Super funny movie. We used to watch this all the time in college in the 90s.
This is classic, 70s, stoner movie fare. I saw this when it first came out, at the Drive-In, in a double feature, with a fully restored print of the 1936 classic "Reefer Madness". FYI In a similar vein is "The Groove Tube" 1974. It makes fun of television and many of the cast went on to Saturday Night Live in 1975.
⭐ YOU GUYS ARE GREAT!
⭐ ANOTHER SUCH MOVIE OF THE ERA YOU MAY LIKE:
⭐ 'THE GROOVE TUBE' (1974)
Will look it up, thanks
I second The Groove Tube.
I third 'The Groove Tube.' Great similarly done movie.
The first time I saw this movie was during the early 90''s. Myself and four close friends hired it from the video store and then we each necked an acid.
It was one the best night's of my life.
Great reaction guys. 🖖
It's a movie of extra ordinary magnitude you have my gratitude.
7:31 Mark! Safety tip! To avoid pissing yourself, don't drink yourself in the first place! 😮😂😅
This is by far the best reaction to this movie I've seen! Please watch "The Groove Tube" (1974) and "Amazon Women On The Moon" (1987) because they're an earlier and later version of this same style movie, and they're HILARIOUS.
God I LOVE this movie. It NEVER gets old. And after watching some of your videos, I think this might be the single hardest you have ever laughed at a movie. Looks like the Rex Kramer scene almost made you two literally die laughing.
And if you think this is absurd, then you MUST react to Night Patrol (1984).
Oldest brother convinced my mom to rent this. I was around 6 and when Catholic High School Girls In Trouble that VHS came out of the VCR fast as lightning. Watched it again around 11. Classic.
Top secret is a good one too. Another zucker brothers movie. Same type of humor
Its on our watch list
Top secret is a funny freaking movie
⭐ ANOTHER WILD COMEDY YOU MAY LIKE:
⭐ "WHAT'S UP, TIGER LILY?" (1966)
Enthusiastic seconding for what I consider the great-granddaddy of cinematic tweaking and riffing, the direct ancestor of Nick at Nite's *Mad Movies with the L.A. Connection* and distant spiritual cousin of Comedy Central's *Mystery Science Theater 3000.* 🤓
The “Groove tube” is the OG spoof movie.
One of my favorites. Great reaction guys. Im going inside to watch it again.
So happy you enjoyed our reaction
1972's "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex* (*But Were Afraid to Ask)" might be a movie y'all may want to watch.
Along with Sleeper and Bananas.
Saw this with my buddies when I was 16 at a theater on 42nd Street NYC. Man, I miss those days.
I loved the James Brown Car Alarm so much I recreated it as a ringtone for my cellphone 30 years later.
Ahh, back in the days when we were allowed to laugh. Luckily I saw the movie when it first came out, my sides still hurt to this day.
No idea how many times I've watched this movie as a whole or scenes, but it is always funny. ALWAYS.
I'm a Gen Xer and this was one of my faves as a kid, for comedic purposes as well as other....purposes.
I saw this with my dad, my brother 12, when I was 5! I’ve seen it again a few times on HBO or Cinemax. 2 other movies to see Groove Tube (Richard Belzer) late 70’s and Amazon Women On The Moon (Arsenio Hall and more!) mid-late 80’s! First time seeing KFM was at the drive in theater, where we also saw M*A*S*H and Blazing Saddles. Amazon Women On The Moon was a Pizza & Movie delivery company with my brother & dad at my brother’s 1st apartment.
I'm in my late 60's watched various real Kung-Fu movies in the 1970's, they were really popular back then. The Bruce Lee spoof is one of my favourite things I've ever seen in a cinema. I was in college when I saw this - it blew us all away....
In the late 70's. There was a phenomenon called The Midnight Movies. Movie theaters would show the same films over and over again. Until a cult following developed. This movie was one of them.
Two other movies like this skit comedies. The Grove Tube and Tunnel Vision. Check them out.
I have loved this movie since I saw it at a drive in when I was 11.😂
A Fistful of Yen is a near perfect parody of Enter The Dragon - love it so much
10:01 Mark! Classic comedy teams did that Pattycake technique in their movies! The Three Stooges and Hope & Crosby come to mind. But as Roger Rabbit made me curious about it with his reactions, it was also used as an "innocent" way to touch breasts because you could claim that you simply missed the hands! 😮
Rex Krammer: part time airline mechanic, full time daredevil. Danger seeker.
My childhood friends and I who look like a met diversity quota from central casting circa 1978 all hands down site this segment as our all time favorite comedy bit not only from this movie, but any film or comedy in any medium. We all represent the spectrum of nationalities and grew up in the same high crime neighborhood and era. White boy, Asian, Black, Mexican, Jew and Indian all lose our sh*t to this part. We always joked this racist bit brings races together. Imy gonna tell my mates about your channel. They gonna love you for reviewing this. Thank you, my dudes! 🤙
Seen this for the first time in '81 and like yourselves I was in physical pain from laughing so much....but for me the one overriding quote that I still use to this day '' death continues to be our nations number 1 killer '' 🤣🤣🤣🤣 And as a pre-teen '' Catholic high school girls in trouble '' was also a standout 😉
Zucker, Zucker and Abrams' first movie before they went on to do "Airplane!".I feel that it is underrated.
BTW, if you liked this, “The Groove Tube” is a similar comedy.
Also, I highly recommend “Kung Fu Hustle”, you will definitely enjoy that one.
Also, you DEFINITELY need to review “Amazon Women on the Moon”! Another movie comprised of multiple skits centered around a main film. The cast is unbelievable. You’ll constantly be saying “This person is in this!?!?”
you guys might like groove tube since you loved this movie so much
Will look it up
YES!! With Chevy Chase and the late Richard Belzer. I have this in my library.
One of the best reactions ever! Many thanks. Rex Kramer was the best 17:04
This is exactly what I needed today! Watching two people genuinely laughing loudly at a hilarious Movie...
A decidedly Non-Woke Movie!
Just to add the missing ingredient in understanding this movie, the title and it's effect:
"Boone had become so adept at growing *high quality marijuana* that was so popular it was referred to as *Kentucky Bluegrass* in High Times, an American magazine that served as a price guide for pot."
(Montreal Gazette) How Boone's vast pot network became the Cornbread Mafia
(Wikipedia) Cornbread Mafia
"The "Cornbread mafia" was the name for a group of Kentucky men who created the largest domestic marijuana production operation in United States history.[1] It was based in Marion, Nelson and Washington counties in central Kentucky."

BIG JIM SLADE!!!!!
I believe it went Amazon Women, Kentucky Fried Movie and then Airplane and then all their films were like Airplane thereafter. It was originally a stage, skit act before it became a movie.
