Kentucky Fried Movie

Could this movie ever be made today? It would get an X-rating. Tons of nudity and raunchy - tasteless skits. It was the Zucker Bros precursor to Airplane.
A.M. Newscaster:
"It's 19 minutes after the hour, and now it's time for our daily feature The Astrological Hour. A quick reminder these reports are not intended to foster belief in astrology, but merely to support people who cannot take responsibility for their own lives."
"You Virgos can expect an untimely death or perhaps a tragic dismemberment of someone very close to you."
"Pisces, it's a good time to pull the plug on that machine that has been keeping your daughter alive for the past 6 months."
"In the past year, over 800,000 Americans have died. Despite millions of dollars of research, death continues to be our nation's number one killer."
"It is also important to know what to do you when you die.
1) Don't try to drive a car.
2) Do not operate heavy machinery.
3) Do not talk."
The early warning signs of death:
Newscaster:
"The popcorn you are eating has been pissed in, film at eleven."
"I'm not wearing any pants, film at eleven."
"Moscow in flames, missiles headed to New York, film at eleven."
They used to show it on USA Up All Night and only edited out the nudity.
It's on Amazon Prime currently.
"Catholic High School Girls in Trouble"
"More shocking than 'Behind the Green Door'... Never before has the beauty of the sexual act been so crassly exploited!"
And then the parody of Enter the Dragon:
Hung Well

I promise you much raunchier and disturbing stuff gets put into theaters today with PG-13/ R ratings every year.

Because every movie board thread asks this question about moderately-controversial films from the past.

In every thread that asks the question about being made today, the answer is yes.
Blazing Saddles might be a tough sell. I think even Blazing Saddles could be made, just not by Mel Brooks. If Tyler Perry made it, no problem.

The only sequence that probably couldn’t be done today is Rex Kramer Danger Seeker.
Well, and possibly the 4D movie with Steven Stucker.

Eh, Blazing Saddles MIGHT get made but only if the writing credit of Richard Pryor were played up and/or he got the role of Bart.
Mel wouldn’t have been given final cut, though, like he did in the 70s.

Y’all act like Tarantino hasn’t been droppin N Bombs in major movies since 94.

As I said. Mel probably couldn't get it made. It would need to be Tyler Perry maybe Jordan Peele.

And you act like Spike Lee et all haven’t been trying to get Quentin ostracized over it.

.....which obviously isn’t working since he has another blockbuster set for release this year

My point is that the attempts fail because Quentin is so established commercially and artistically.
If this were him between Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, who is to say Pulp Fiction gets made because they made him too radioactive to either gather that ensemble or get distributed?

Pryor left the set a few weeks into filming to go do a cocaine binge in Detroit and never returned.. I think they made the right choice

As was Mel Brook prior to Blazing Saddles.

No he really wasn’t.
He did Producers, which was a surprise hit, and Twelve Chairs, which bombed. And Producers only got wide distribution because Peter Sellers had seen it and kept it from being buried by the distributor.
He hit his peak when Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein were at the top of the box office in the same year (1974?).

I think it stands on its own merits.

Why do people always say this when A Million Ways to Die in the West was made just a few years ago?

If something happens and no one sees it, did it really happen?
Posted on 2/19/19 at 8:42 pm to teke184
Don't try to movie the goalposts. Either that type of humor could be done in a movie today or it couldn't. Performance at the box office has nothing to do with that. Also, while it didn't do great it still made $43 million ($87m worldwide) at the box office so to say nobody saw it isn't really true. shite, it made more at the BO domestically than the original John Wick.
