THE KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE

“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.
