It's hard to do the spoof right, is what The Duke has deduced from years of cultural analysis with emphasis on Spy Hard, Loaded Weapon, Airplane 2 and so on. Stuff that might work grand for 5 minutes on Saturday Nights Are Alive or whatever that programme is with Americans and the fella from Elf, can get very tiresome very quickly when drawn out to feature length, ie, 90 minutes, the length of a film.

Whilst it would be fucking insanity for someone to attack the artistic merits of Scary Movie 2, it would also be a different kind of insanity to yack about how every one of these films what has the funny characters and the jokes about The Matrix are all in that same league of impeccable wit.

Which brings us to this film by the name of Kentucky Fried Movie, what was made by the fellas who later went ahead and gave us Airplane and The Naked Gun and Police Squad and various other Leslie Neilson vehicles.

This Kentucky affair is no less hit-and-miss than, say, Naked Gun 33 1/3, but benefits somewhat from the sketch-based approach what it utilises, so if a character or a situation isn't especially mirth inducing, you only have to wait two minutes for the motherfuckers to be flung like snot-drenched hankies over the side of the screen. Unlike Naked Gun Part 33, when you had to put up with the woman from The Anna Nicole Smith Show for 83 motherfucking minutes.

KFM takes as its template a night of television based entertainment, so we get a news report, and then adverts for some stuff, and then a preview for Catholic School Girls In Trouble, along with some other unrelated tomfoolery.

Then it seems to skip the TV-based shenanigans and take as its inspiration a night at the films, granting us The Feature Presentation, a reasonably effective half-hour spoof of Enter The Dragon, by the name of A Fistful Of Yen.

Monty Python's And Now For Something Completely Different came out 6 years earlier, and I'm gonna hazard a speculation by way of assuming these fellas might have saw it. Maybe they saw it in a cinema, or maybe they saw it on TV, but I'm fairly certain these motherfuckers loved every second, whatever the outlet.
