Synopsis
Writers David and Jerry Zucker and Jim Abrahams got their start when they formed a theatrical group known as The Kentucky Fried Theater. "The Kentucky Fried Movie" is based on the KFT's gag-filled theatrical skits. Including well-known stars such as Bill Bixby, Donald Sutherland, Tony Dow, George Lazenby and Henry Gibson, the film has over 22 different segments of varying lengths. Longer segments include such highlights as: "Zinc Oxide," which spoofs school educational films, "Catholic High School Girls In Trouble" and "A Fistful of Yen," which is an elaborate spoof of martial arts films.
