While this is really Kentucky Fried Movie Part 2, I think it's much better.I'm sure it's because I have recently watched hundreds of old sci-fi movies and have never seen a Bruce Lee movie.I get all the sci-fi references.The out of shape, middle aged leading man, the dumb guy with the New York accent, they nailed it.They do get carried away on all the fake film damage but it's funny.One thing I forgot when I was reviewing Kentucky Fried was that these guys ripped off SCTV.It's the same thing.I thought maybe SCTV did the stealing but I just checked and it started a year before KFM came out.About the exact amount of time needed to rip off a hot new idea.Anyway, if you are familiar with old sci-fi movies you will enjoy this.If not, you might want to pass.

Most of this film is highly enjoyable, but it's just too bad and a bit of a shame that a more G or PG rated version didn't make it to the theatre (the broadcast version lacks some punch).Here's the thing I like about this film, it's essentially an emulation of a male sitting at home, late at night channel surfing (or flipping the dial, for those of us who remember having to reach for the set to change channels). The film has one mockery after another of late night television or scene from everyday ordinary life, with another send up of a 1950s like B-movie classic to tie the whole thing together.The topless / naked girls are there primarily for the teenage and college age males, but don't really add a whole lot to the film as a whole. But, your tastes may vary.There are a lot of brilliant moments here in this film, and some tiring ones depending on how risqué you prefer your entertainment. It's not a family film, though it could have been, but is more or less a film for the single guys who grew up or came of age in the 1980s. Yes, it's a bit dated for that kind of statement to describe it, but it fits.Odds are you've seen it, but if you haven't, then at least see it once with some male friends.Quite a bit of swearing, nudity, sex, not a family film, but still kind of funny.

(Note: Over 500 of my movie reviews are now available in my book "Cut to the Chaise Lounge or I Can't Believe I Swallowed the Remote!" Get it at Amazon.)The opening skit "Apartment Victim" with Arsenio Hall is pure slapstick--not my favorite comedy type but for some reason I found it hilarious. I just cracked up on all the mishaps and the great timing by Arsenio and the cameras. The way the video cassette shoots back out of the player and hits him and knocks him over was just so funny; and the way the TV blows up when he hits the remote was a crack up. Which reminds me, Confucius says "Woman who flies upside down has hairy crack up." (Sorry about that.) Anyway, I also liked David Alan Grier as Don (No Soul) Simmons in the segment "Blacks without Soul." The Laurence Welk way he sang the Broadway show type tunes was just a riot. I also liked the skit featuring Rosanna Arquette, "Two I.D.'s" in which she takes the prospective date's credit cards and two forms of ID to investigate what kind of guy he is on a date.I also kind of liked the comedic roast at the wake in "Roast your loved one." Kind of. The jokes ranged from funny but old to lame-o.The overall shtick of this being a TV late night movie show was also good--the idea, anyway. The featured movie "Amazon Women on the Moon" (actually this was a skit too; no such movie exists although one wonders why), which spoofs 50s cheapo sci-fi flicks was so, so very bad as to almost be campy--but not quite. It was frankly just bad bad, and a little on the very cognitively challenged side, that is to say, dumb.Overall this was a lot funnier than might be expected, at least for me, but then again I have actually watched most of the episodes of "Married with Children" although I would never admit it.

This is a theatrical release motion picture that features 25 sketches, some connecting, some totally random. It's supposed to give you the feel of channel surfing through old movies, commercials for stupid products and just some funny random stuff. It's presented by John Landis and he also directed several of the segments, in this sequel (?) to 1977's "Kentucky Fried Movie".The main stories are "Amazon Women on the Moon", which is a cheap 1950's sci-fi movie that is purposely as cheesy as possible. "Blacks With No Souls" is another storyline that comes in several times in the movie, about Don Simmons who is a souless black singer that's just all to stupid. "Bullsh*t or Not?" is a reinacment fact or fiction type show hosted by Henry Silva. In the episode in this film he ponders if Jack the Ripper was really the Loch Ness monster and if the Titanic was real or not."Murray in TV Land" is about old man Murray getting trapped in his TV and getting changed from channel to channel and is a running gag in the film.The other sketches include Arsenio Hall having a bad day when he gets totally massacred in his apartment by freak accidents. A sketch about a Playhouse Plaything and he she survives in life...fully naked. An invisible man that's not so invisible. Joe Pantalino as a hair loss victim. It's pretty easy to get into the sketches. It just feels good for some reason to channel flip through a bunch of random and stupid stuff. Some say it's not funny, because the stuff on their is actually the kind of lame junk you would fin on TV, but the humor is there, and it's funny. I totally recommend this especially with friends.My rating: 3/4 stars. 84 mins. rated R for full frontal nudity, sexuality, some violence and brief language.
