Colonel Sanders shows his goods!
Yes, It's true. Watching another Herschell Gordon Lewis Film left me in surprise when I saw it.Apparently here in Australia the Pre-cert video is worth a fair bit, but the movie itself is a bore fest, and If I was going to give it a review I would Give it 1 out of 10, But this cameo appearance is something else! Last time I gave a bad review for a boring, no-plot movie a lot of people hated me and that video was around $400 on the market at the time (must have been for its artwork). So no review here, instead the plot of a very, very boring film with a misleading title; Blast Off girls (1967) : A sleazy record promoter tries to make it big with a local Chicago garage band and plans to make them famous while keeping the profits for himself.
Its such a shame too, normally I love Herschell films, I have seen so many - but this is his disappointment.
And so you don't have to endure the biggest boredom I'll just cut this film and show you the best bits, the the master himself dancing!
But the fact remains this guy invented a recipe that was too good to keep to himself, he started off as a failure and is still a great icon. At age 65, Sanders' store having failed, he took $105 from his first social security check and began visiting potential franchisees. At the time he had over 100 items on the menu- I can' even imagine what kind of chicken goodness was around back then.Sanders sold the Kentucky Fried Chicken corporation in 1964 for $2 million to a partnership and his face was to be printed for all eternity. So next time you set your teeth into a big juicy piece of KFC ( No longer called Kentucky Fried Chicken- you bastards!), just remember the genius who invented it, and put everything he had on the line to make it big and can dance better than any drunk I have seen at a pub. Long live the greatest chef in the world!
