The Kentucky Fried Movie (1977)

A collection of no-holds-barred satirical sketches spoofing TV and movie cliches including celebrity cameo appearances.

From memory: A wildly divergent anthology of sketches with an abundance of hit-or-miss jokes, often deliberately tasteless and juvenile, but just as often quite entertaining.

Halliwell (no star): "The writers later gave us Airplane. Enough said?" 

Maltin***: "Vulgar, often funny skits strung together."

Airplane! (1980)

A man afraid to fly must ensure that a plane lands safely after the pilots become sick.

Deliberately silly spoof of Airport-like catastrophe movies entertains due to a relentless onslaught of hit-and-miss jokes.

Halliwell**: "Arthur Hailey's play Flight Into Danger and the film Zero Hour which was made from it get the zany parody treatment in this popular movie which is often funny but sometimes merely crude. It rang the box-office bell more loudly than most expensive epic of its year."

Maltin***1/2: "Very funny spoof of AIRPORT-type movies...with a nonstop string of gags that holds up almost to the end (why carp?)."
