This movie was one of 3 sequels to the 1933 classic Universal Studios rendition of the H.G. Wells classic, The Invisible Man. As classic as that film and story both are, I prefer this sequel by a landslide, but in all fairness they're different genres. The Invisible Man is a serious drama/sci-fi about a genius scientist driven to madness by his discovery, The Invisible Woman is a refreshing screwball comedy similar to Arsenic and Old Lace, The Man Who Came to Dinner, and My Man Godfrey. The movie features some great old celebrities such as Margaret Hamilton (the witch from the Wizard of Oz) Shemp Howard (brother of Curly from the three stooges, and himself a one time member of The Three Stooges) John Barrymore ( star of best picture winning Grand Hotel [1932] brother of other screen legends Ethel & Lionel Barrymore, grandfather of Drew Barrymore, and the basis of the tony award winning play and 2011 film starring sir Christopher Plummer, Barrymore) and forgotten comedian great Charlie Ruggles, (who made me laugh harder and more often than an old movie has in a LONG long time). Just like the 1933 Universal classic, this film features great special effects, but not only that, great writing, and great acting that give this film humor so timeless that it still feels fresh to this day. I give it a 5/5, This film is available on The Invisible man Legacy DVD collection.
The Kentucky Fried Movie (1977) the first really truly crazy spoof movie aside from the works of Mel Brooks. This was the first film by the people who brought you the Airplane! and Naked Gun series, so same kind of humor. The movie is made up of all skits and fake movie trailers, while the film quality is low (really low budget) the jokes are grade A. Definitely worth a watch or looking at select scenes. If you don't offend easily the best scene in the movie is "Catholic High School Girls in Trouble" by far, otherwise "feel around" is great too. This is also the second movie by big name director John Landis (Animal House, Blues Brothers, American Werewolf in London, the Thriller music Video). There is some gross humor here, some racial, and a lot of sexual humor. I give it a 3.75/5 I couldn't find a trailer so here's the "feel a-round" scene (as in, "this film is brought to you in 'Feel a-round'"):
