Fistful of Yen
Kentucky Fried Movie hit the theaters in 1977. It was the first movie from the twisted minds of Jim Abrahams, David Zucker and Jerry Zucker, who went on to make Airplane! and the tv series Police Squad. They hired John Landis to direct, who had only made Schlock before this, but this got him hired to direct National Lampoon's Animal House . KFM was mostly short sketches skewering television and movies. The longest section was Fistful of Yen, a spoof of Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon. There was a theater that used to show different double and triple features each night. I saw Enter the Dragon along with Jackie Chan's The Big Brawl but they also included the Fistful of Yen section. The downside was they played before the Bruce Lee movie so when the audience watched EtD they would laugh thinking about the scenes spoofed with Evan Kim. You can watch Kentucky Fried Movie ...
