Kentucky Fried Movie (1977)
1 question
Directed by: John Landis
Starring: David Zucker, Bill Bixby, George Lazenby, Evan C. Kim, Bong Soo Han, Marcy Goldman, Marilyn Joi, Saul Kahan
Genres: Comedy
Continuity mistake: During the 'High Adventure' skit, the interviewer dies of a heart attack and is leaning back on the chair, in the next shot he is now leaning forward.
Narrator: More offensive than "Mandingo." More shocking than "Behind the Green Door." More erotic than "Deep Throat." You will cream in your jeans when you see "Catholic High School Girls in Trouble."
Answer: Detroit has long been notorious for its high crime, high unemployment, and urban blight. It's just a joke about how it's not a very pleasant place to be. Heck, the city motto is 'We hope for better things' and 'It will rise from the ashes.'
