Storyline
Madcap spoof, a collection of comedy skits includes the Kung-Fu parody, "A Fistful Of Yen" and "Catholic School Girls In Trouble." Enjoy the future of movie-going with the "Feel-A-Round" theater experience. See a notable and highly respected actor as the clumsiest waiter in motion picture history. Watch such character as Cleopatra Schwartz and Big Jim Slade tickle your funny bone until it has to be removed surgically! —Edwin van Oorschot <info@edwinvanoorschot.nl>

Did you know
- TriviaOriginal titles for the film included "Free Popcorn" and "Closed for Remodeling". Presumably both were rejected for the confusion they would cause when displayed on a theater marquee.
- GoofsWhen Joyce Wilson gives the astrological report in the "A.M. Today" segment, the padding where the arrow lands is visible. The same thing happens when Ron Butler gives his report about the teachers' strike.
- Quotes
Henry Gibson: In the past year, over 800,000 Americans have died. Despite millions of dollars of research, death continues to be our nation's number one killer.
- Crazy creditsBefore the credits start, there is a short bit with the TV anchorman saying "The popcorn you're eating has been pissed in, film at eleven". For the TV version, this is replaced with "I'm not wearing any pants, film at 11"
- Alternate versionsA version aired on Comedy Central (and perhaps on other channels) features a small variety of edits:
- The 'Cleopatra Schwartz' sequence is censored heavily for language and nudity
- During the closing sequence (where the teenagers are having sex on the couch, and the news crew is watching), the camera zoom is altered several times so that nothing but the teens' faces show. The zooms are awkward, and blatantly added.
- The entirety of the 'Catholic School Girls In Trouble' scene is missing. It is listed in the credits, however.

Top review
Tasteless, juvenile and very funny
A bunch of skits spoofing TV shows, commercials, movies, previews etc etc. There's also a long dead on target spoof of "Enter the Dragon" called "A Fistful of Yen". The film is very 70s--some of the references won't make any sense to anyone born after 1977. Also much of the humor is exceptionally crude and there's a huge overabundance of gratuitious female nudity and fairly graphic sex. This film wouldn't be made today and would easily have gotten an NC-17 rating if it had. Still, the film is often hilarious--I laughed myself silly at some of the crudest humor possible. So, it's worth seeing, but if you're easily offended do NOT see it! Also where else can you see Bill Bixby, George Lazenby, Donald Sutherland and Henry Gibson in a film with the coming attractions of "Catholic High School Girls in Trouble"?
