It's one of my all-time favorites. Saw it on cable back in the early 80s, had no idea what it was, and proceeded to laugh my rear off. Introduced it to some of my high school friends and it became a default viewing option for us.

In Mexico senor, these are the years of sadness.

This movie is a collection of skits, anchored by the lengthy "Enter the Dragon" parody. It's wildly uneven, at times tedious, with moments of side splitting hilarity. It's worth watching, if anything because it has Bill Bixby in it.

Some of it is hilarious, some of it really sucks, like everyone else says. It is not as funny as the later ZAZ stuff (Top Secret, Naked Gun movies, etc.) but it shows promise.

None of it is hilarious. Pretty much all of it is awful. It's NOT funny.

If you were cognizant in the '70 trends, morals, etc. you could find this VERY funny. Much of it wouldn't click if you weren't familiar with the times.

I disagree. I grew up in the 70s, just saw the entire movie for the first time, and thought it mostly sucked. Way too many of the skits were like bad SNL skits that went on far too long for very little payoff. There were a few hilarious moments, but not enough to drive a full-length movie (compare this with Airplane, which was consistently funny the entire way through).
