Tagline: This movie is totally out of control!
Plot: Fresh from their triumphant L.A. run at the Kentucky Fried Theater, the Zucker brothers and Jim Abrahams (AIRPLANE!) teamed up with John Landis for their first film, considered by many to be a satirical classic. This series of highly irreverent sketches spoofs standard television fare and pop-culture trends in general. Memorable episodes include "Cleopatra Schwartz," a blaxploitation takeoff that features a sexy black Amazon married to a rabbi; "Zinc Oxide," a spoof on educational films; a "Fistful of Yen," a martial arts masterpiece that stars a Bruce Lee-like hero fighting a massive stream of attackers; as well as the hilarious trailer for "That's Armageddon!" spoofing disaster films, with Donald Sutherland and Bill Bixby playing themselves. Other infamous trailers and commercials include the raunchy "Catholic High School Girls in Real Trouble" and "Scot Free," a board game based on the Kennedy assassinations and murder conspiracies, available from "Barker Bros." Nothing is sacred in this extremely funny parody, combining sex, sight gags, and slapstick comedy. The satirical and raunchy humor of the sketches, fake movie trailers, and commercials were influential in the format and creation of television's Saturday Night Live.
